Enshittification continues.

After the Ashkenazi data leak, I deleted my data with them. Never sharing that again.

Speed run to bankruptcy.

I would argue that they moved to LLMs because they had run out of ideas on actually improving cellphones. It wasn’t that they were distracted by them. They are trying to distract us because they need to cell new phones every year and nothing they’ve come up with is really justifying shelling out $1200 for a phone that’s virtually the same as the previous 3-5 iterations.

Hasbarists are really the best at showing their asses without even knowing they’re doing it.

Sounds very much like a “final solution” if you catch my drift.

Experts in the field.

I also work in the industry. In particular I work in data analytics consulting. It’s all hype to sell consulting hours and compute.

AGI is not in reach. We need to stop this incessant parroting from tech companies. LLMs are stochastic parrots. They guess the next word. There’s no thought or reasoning. They don’t understand inputs. They mimic human speech. They’re not presenting anything meaningful.

Open ai made $2 billion on $5 billion in losses. Although, folks on here are talking about having it write proposals or spreadsheet formulas; this is not really a monetizable product. Aside from onsie twosie “it helps me write an email” scenarios, this isn’t something anyone should be spending $20 a month to boil the planet for.

Yes

Because it’s now completely disconnected from the reality of the actual economy. It has been for a very long time. It has to do with how much money is funneled into the wealthiest hands.

What a dystopian nightmare we live in right now. Remember when politicians told us we have choices in our healthcare? I guess it says something that insurance CEOs are so hated that they need armed body guards and we’re so happy about “all our choices”.

It’s pretty clear that billionaire owners of publicly traded companies will do whatever is needed to continue the “number goes up” philosophy of American capitalism. It’s the rot that underlies the whole economy. This isn’t to excuse Zuckerberg but this is America as a whole. The need to increase profits takes priority over bucking fascism, pulling back on vitriolic public discourse, stuffing hyped AI products into every crevice of tech, and pursuing monopolistic business practices. It’s all baked in. And it makes everything worse. No one is attempting to address which is why America is absolutely doomed to collapse. No one is willing to even have the conversation about corporate control/influence of government as well as the philosophy of delivering shareholder value.

This, wedged between the US brand of isolationism of pulling out of climate accords, WHO, and the impending tarrifs are going to be much worse than anything brexit did. The US is looking at a complete collapse in the world ushered in by the incompetence of liberalism and the nihilism of tech oligarchy.

As someone that’s spent over a decade working in US healthcare, I can easily say it’s exhausting for everyone involved. It’s busy work. Especially if you are not providing direct care. Everything else is extractive fluff that makes cost of care more expensive, burdensome, and just dumb. And now with VC companies wading into healthcare everything is becoming even more expensive, even more dumb, and greedy.

There’s a shit ton of liberal denial on this. Trump did make it happen. Not because Netenyahu bent the knee to Trump. But because Trump bullied Netenyahu. And had Biden not been a psychopath, he could have picked up the phone and stopped the senseless slaughter of Palestinians on day one.

This is not to say that things are still going to be extremely bleak for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza but Democrats fumbled the ball on this and ensured themselves a loss.

Fuck Biden for not making this happen right away. There is now evidence in the polling that people stayed home because of Biden enabling this Nazi style extermination.

I finally feel in control of my life and not emotionally beholden to someone who takes advantage of my kindness and refuses to do their part to make things work. I am now a lot more financially strained but I am so much more at peace. It’s been eye opening for me. I am glad I left. I’m hoping my kiddo also sees the difference in me.

Whitewashing war crimes as penetration of Hezbollah is something else. But on brand for western media.
