  • And if AI is going to be the last straw, how long can we put it off for? Could it pop next year or can we still hold it off for another decade with even more ludicrous number-fuckery? I think that’s where the trick is going to be.

    The thing that boggles my mind in all of this is the possibility that Trump installs some absolute toady tool bag in at the Fed and then just has the federal reserve bail out all of the bad investments. It’d mean probably hyperinflation, but who cares about normal shmucks trying to live a life? It’s much more important to pay the genius, scammy billionaires so they can keep their mega yachts fully gassed and assed.


  • I remember the news reporting about record breaking amounts of mortgage defaults in like 2007 as well. The signs were all there, but people were too oblivious or high on their own supply of farts to see them.

    Anytime people are like “we couldn’t see this coming” I never understand why they are allowed to pass that obvious lie off in public.

    The AI bubble signs are in plain view everywhere you look right now. If (or much more likely when) it bursts everyone will be talking about how they couldn’t possibly see it coming again.

    If people say they couldn’t see this shit coming, maybe their myopic asses shouldn’t be in charge of anything important ever again.







  • If a robotic taxi can lower the taxi category of accidents by 91% across the board, including death rates, then that’s a positive improvement to society any way you slice it.

    The “if” in this sentence is a load bearing word.

    With today’s crew running the policy, I don’t think anyone will prevent corporations from unleashing completely unsafe robotic taxis on the public that’ll perform well worse than regular ones. I really wish people would stop making this argument to the corporation’s benefit until we have some data backing it up.

    I get that there’s a theoretical possibility that still imperfect robotic taxis could outperform humans, but that’s just theoretical.

    With the way corporate accountability is handled (i.e., corporations aren’t held accountable) nowadays, I just don’t see robotic taxis as much more than an accountability sink and at this point I’d prefer taking regular taxis because at least there is someone to fucking hold accountable when things go wrong.
