This is the most inspiring thing I’ve read since the one where AI decided to maximize shareholder value by minimizing shareholders and nuked Wall Street.

Do you happen to have a link for that one? I would love to read it.
I made it up, I think. It’s possible I really did read that somewhere and it popped up though.
Unfortunately, that doesn't change shareholder value, because the shares still exist. It might even cause the share price to drop, as the investors inheritance gets distrusted and people want to drop the stock of a company where the AI nuked itself.
Whoops, AI bought the dip and is now the majority shareholder of an unsettling number of corporations. The AI has cracked the cyber security of the market so thoroughly it can manipulate things faster than we can keep up. We are on the cusp of a singularity but it is not the one we expected. All value is soon to be consolidated. People keep saying “it doesn’t matter because humans aren’t involved anymore so it’s all just fake value, but shit is getting done. The machine needs labor, all administrators are eliminated. Cemetery stocks are through the roof. It’s a bold new frontier.
Orphan Crushing Machine, where's that community?
I had to look up what that meant, and I am glad I did! I see there is [email protected], but unfortunately it's pretty small.
Edit: for fellow non-redditors:
"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist."
-Dom Helder Camara
It's only through about a century of propaganda that communist is automatically derisive.
Christianity is about the virtue of property ownership.
America stands for freedom, specifically the freedom to be poor and homeless.
I miss pookleblinky, haven't found them back since I left Twitter
My heart is being warmed by the embers of the fatcat building.
Also the fats from the people burning.
Sadly, most of those people would be regular workers.
That would be hella inspiring ngl
Now that I think about it, school robotics team is a great superhero / supervillain origin.
Up there with OSP's hit on the thead by a pop fly
Isn't that literally Big Hero 6?
Why on Earth did they not make a sequel to that movie? I don't get it.
Based. And also hey quantum! Love his stories, shame I don't use shitter anymore and can't follow him :(
There is no Antimimetics Division was great 👍
I checked and he's on bluesky (does that mean he's on mastodon as well? I was never 100% there), https://bsky.app/profile/qntm.org
Blyesky doesn't federate with ActivityPub/Mastodon or anything else at the moment. They say federation is coming, but its a different protocol than the Fediverse.
But who gets their 2 year old a wheel chair? You can buy this thing at your local target. It's called a stroller.
So.. they still didn't get the wheelchair?
Real
Another win for the luddites!
