Estimating this fiasco will cost at least $600B, that sits around $2000 per American. That doesn't even factor in the indirect costs like increased oil prices, decreased trade, and lost jobs. That lot sure is winning!

It is comical that the overwhelming majority of the people I have known that most embody the tenets of Christianity were in fact not Christians at all.

Just because it's propaganda doesn't mean it's untrue. The story tracks and changes nothing I believe about the US's tyrannical tangerine toddler.

Lol I see what you did there.

Gross. Fuck off back to Reddit, ay?

You're absolutely right. It would have to be intentional, planned inflation, where the populace decided to scale down the value of all existing currency while providing everyone enough additional currency to exactly maintain their original financial worth.

So only viable in micronations where the populace of five got really high one night and had a profound idea they thought would be totally fucking hilarious.

I think I know what you might be suggesting.

Instead of an extravagant lifestyle only for a small few as a result of their intercepting and concentrating the majority of the labor output, all people could live a similarly extravagant lifestyle if the system were to change entirely.

It would require a massive shift, including off-world resource acquisition and hugely increased energy generation as the amount of both required for every person alive to live in luxury vastly exceeds that which is available on earth, but it's not impossible to complete without causing others to suffer. That's just the easy route for the planet's wealthy sociopaths.

I can only think of one: massive inflation à la 2008 Zimbabwe. They printed a 100 trillion dollar bill by the end of that one, so nearly everyone was a trillionaire.

Now they're in an entirely new hyperinflation crisis, but it's nowhere near the 89.7 sextillion percent year-on-year inflation rate they saw at the first's peak.

Edit: fucking hell, they're releasing yet another currency: the Zimbabwean ZiG. IYKYK

I believe that's a key distinction. Google's behavior has become too problematic for someone who is significantly morally deficient.

Big fucking red flag here.

I dropped $250 on an HTC Apache in 2006 and thought I was quite fancy.

I tried AI again the other day, just for a yearly check in. Gemini's Pro model was more apologetic than ever when it changed the basis of its narrative SIX TIMES in seven prompts.

I was simply asking it to describe the counterweight mechanism in a piece of common machinery. It changed from industrial gas struts, to no support and being too heavy to handle, to two large springs (correct), back to no support but now because it's feather light, and so on. I simply kept asking it to stop fabricating answers and to verify from a parts diagram, the URL for which I provided. Its apologies and explanations grew longer and more elaborate each time.

We had good laughs, but sorry about the power and water usage.

His name better fucking be Mario.
