I'm over here at Kagi if you wanna have an excellent experience searching the web without being harassed.

Yeah I guess that's true.

Lol, Lemmy downvoting this comment 23 times just shows how sensitive the Lemmy crowd is. :)

It wasn't even something offensive and it's the truth too. Unless "gather around kids" is offensive to today's generation...

Im 50, and just like this guy I remember ram being very expensive. That doesn't mean we should be happy to go back to that of course. This pricing hike is 100% caused by data centers creating the infrastructure for dystopia. Nobody is laughing about that.

But still, he is correct.

Absolutely they will.

Yeah and the wars are created by America many times, because its huge profits for the military industrial complex and also serves as a way to increase the American presence in countries with resources like oil.

The CIA is super good at what it does actually.

He always was a good guy. Ripped off by Steve Jobs. Steve was brilliant but he ranked very low on empathy. It's surprising that he was a good speaker. Sam Altman and Zuckerberg is more like the pictures of a smart psychopath but Steve wasn't like that.

It's the infrastructure for mass surveillance and dystopia so it's hard to find any positives.

I think he is right about tech workers working on a higher level, using a bulldozer instead of a shovel, but thats going to be a good thing for the company, not the worker.

He sees the company as the main driver in the economy and if it's good for the company, it's good for the country. If it sucks for workers, it's a sacrifice he is willing to make...

Boosting productivity is very bad for the stressed worker who gets a new performance baseline that is 10 times what it was before. We already see this happening.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

He is right about this too, because he knows the taxes in America is not going to those people. America has so much money but they spend it on weapons instead of their country.

So he is not lying in this interview. He is saying the truth which is why things are so sad. Him paying more taxes would just give more money to the weapons industry. He is existing inside a country where the presidents doesn't care about ordinary people at all. Same as Russia.

I also did those things not too long ago, maybe 3 years ago. It's a lot of fun and brings back the teenager enjoyment, that's true.

Using the cloud is good at work but at home, it's much more fun to have your own stuff running.

Doesnt have anything to do with fighting with ourselves. America has never invested a lot of money into its own population and environment.

The state of things is what if, that's true. It has not happened. :)

At some point, it should happen. Still not going to put a dent in the datacenter / dystopia rally though, since they will pick Nvidia and known brands.

This is actually pretty cool, if you have watched the movie They Live of course. If you havent, get to it.

Using it gives a whole new (correct) meaning to the web experience today...

In the motion, prosecutors referred to an officer firing five times, but the document does not mention that officer or any ​other being shot. A spent cartridge was found in the suspect's shotgun, according to Wednesday's motion.

The document did not accuse Allen of aiming at or ​striking the Secret Service officer who authorities say was shot in the chest but protected by his body armor.

That contrasts with ⁠statements made earlier by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It also raises the question of who ​fired the round that struck the Secret Service officer.

I dont even know if American media is covering this so could be a surprise for people.

The report, which claims that “American ‘black boxes’ failed at zero hour of the attack on Isfahan,” concerns devices that Iran claims either rebooted or dropped offline despite the country having already been disconnected from the global Internet, a fact it says "indicates deep sabotage."

The US stock market is home to the world's biggest companies and has set a series of all-time highs recently despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that the global economy is facing the biggest energy shock in history.

Its like people are completely asleep to the energy and food crisis that is building up. I guess there has been so many crisis lately they they have stopped reacting.

If Hormuz doesnt open up, and I dont think it will, there will be a lot of big problems. Probably mostly for Asia and Europe, but im not sure if America will be immune. What if food costs increase? Fuel costs?

Annie Altman accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, starting when she was three and he ​was 12. She said the "last acts of sexual abuse and rape" occurred ​when Sam Altman was an adult. He is now 40.

They always go for the kids dont they. I dont know how credible this Annie Altman is, the family says she is mentally ill. But they would say that, wouldnt they.

You can have look on the site if your country supports this shit. Mine does, which is why I feel no obligation to feel any sense of nationalism. Only a handful of countries say no to this.

Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine. Not pointing fingers, but memory leaks in the gigabytes, UI glitches, broken-ass features, crashes: that is not the seal of quality they think it is. And it's definitely not good advertising for the fever dream of having your agents do all the work for you.

This is true in my personal experience too. Its much faster to use AI but it always causes some weird bugs and glitches over time, and duplicated code is common.

But I think companies will continue to use it, since its still faster than writing code manually. But software quality is going down and is going to be seen as something that can be patched with AI in the future.

I didnt know so many things about Iran before reading this. Just the size of the country and its terrain....

Its a very dumb war. But interesting how we have so many really stupid wars these days, like the Ukraine one too.

These games were incredibly impressive actually. I guess many of you reading this were not born yet when this title came out, but the systems were so weak compared to todays systems, and yet the game managed to feel smooth and quick.

All these abstraction layers we have today may make it much quicker and easier to make a game, but its truly impressive to read about these guys who handcoded assembly to make these games shine. It wasnt just a game to these guys, it must have been a passion to create it.

This article almost makes me want to try it. Anyone here have tried? I imagine its very outdated but stable. Can you even run modern stuff like Firefox and editors on that thing?
