He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

They're not doing it save a few bucks. They're doing it to kill starving children.

This passage is a sarcastic critique of the energy consumption associated with artificial intelligence development. The author mocks the idea that AI is a universally desired or beneficial innovation by exaggerating claims about its impact â" joking that AI doesnâ(TM)t consume power but instead creates it, and that more AI somehow leads to cheaper electricity and a better future.

Point: Itâ(TM)s criticizing how tech advocates or companies may downplay the real-world environmental costs of AI in favor of exaggerated or misleading promises about its benefits.

This sounds incredibly anti-competitive and borderline illegal. How quickly will Google start replacing ads from other ad networks with their own, or altering search results from Duck Duck Go?

It's completely anecdotal, but the amount of bloat between Windows 10 and Windows 11 is kind of astonishing.

I've got an older ThinkPad Carbon X1 that came with Windows 10, that ran perfectly fine on it. After upgrading it to Windows 11 it won't run for more than a few minutes without throttling itself down to the point that it's unusable. I thought maybe something didn't upgrade properly, so I reinstalled Windows 11 from scratch, same issue. So I thought maybe I needed to put new thermal paste on the CPU since it's relatively old, that didn't help anything either.

So I dumped Windows, installed OpenSUSE and it's running better than ever now. Between the shitty performance on 11, the new AI crap like this, the "Recall" feature that they are planning to roll out soon, and JetBrains making Rider free for non-commercial use, I don't have any reason to stick around on Windows now.

As a developer, what exactly would this $3,500 "tool" do for my work?

Until they use this half-assed program to kill real public transit, like Musk tried to do with the hyperloop.

So tech bros invented trains and bus lines again? Good jorb.

Give Trump some credit. It's not like he failed to sell steaks, alcohol and football to Americans.

IIRC, Huffman was a moderator on the jailbait subreddit. So your assessment isn't wrong.

In the case of the Kindle store, there's no savings to pass on to the consumers. Amazon simply wouldn't let you buy Kindle books from their app prior to this.

Triple digit tariffs on our largest trading partner.

You're as good at reading comprehension as you are at economics. I never said eggs were a tariff problem, did I? I do recall a certain someone promising to lower egg prices on day one, but that obviously never happened.

Also, you lie. The bird flu problem is calming down, but egg prices have risen to record highs despite that. Just because they may be cheaper in whatever little shithole flyover town you're in doesn't mean that they're cheaper for most Americans.

Ahhh, there it is. The "If it doesn't affect me personally, I don't give a fuck about anyone else" philosophy.

Good thing republicans are back in control. Thankfully the price of eggs, groceries (Did you know about groceries? It's an old fashioned word, but it's a bag with different things in it), cars, electronics, gasoline, and everything else we rely on to live have plummeted since Dear Orange Leader was inaugurated.

Don't be silly. Larry Ellison buys islands, not yachts. You think he's a poor or something?
