Well if we gonna make a post every time some rich fucker sells tech stonks now it will quickly evolve into spam. I mean, we already know AI is overblown and we don‘t need to take a single glance at someone‘s portfolio to know that because this is a technology community and we‘re informed about what big tech keeps promising and underdelivering for 3 years straight.
Or he simply got cold feet because Nvidia‘s stocks didn‘t implode yet as far as I‘m aware. The truth is this is pure speculation just like the entire slop ma- excuse me, stock market. There are better communities for tinfoil hatters and rocket monkeys.
I think your post just really proves my point because nothing you said is really about the topic of this community anymore. There are better places on the Fediverse specifically designed for politics or economics. As a rule of thumb, if a headline is about stonks, it shouldn‘t be posted because the comments will only derail further away from the technology topic.
You see that is exactly the problem I have with these posts. You don‘t actually know if the trading portfolio of a mega evil asshole actually has any impact on the technology world. Stocks are just gambling and he could make the wrong move here. Like 90% of high traffic posts in r/technology was just random billionaires trading stocks at some point. It was utterly pointless.
I thought we decided to not post stonks crap in here. It‘s what completely ruined the technology community over at Reddit before the entire site was ruined.
Zizek said it a while ago too, claiming that the general disbelief in a coming war actually increases the chances of a war. Voters and politicians as well as economists were getting careless because a war was just unthinkable and made dangerous deals with Russia that blew up in our faces.
Oh I know that book. In the end you‘ll be delivered crap automatically because the government decided AI knows what you need better than you do and you‘ll struggle to explain to the AI that you really don‘t want nor can afford that dolphin dildo sitting unopened on your couch table. But the balance was already drawn from your bank account so tough luck.
Because who wouldn‘t love to live in society where minors are being stalked by strangers for profit?
I mean every German who ever heard of GEMA knew this was inevitable all the way back in 2022. They threatened entire cities to the point some of them don‘t play music on Christmas markets anymore. You can‘t win against those guys, just hope for a hefty settlement.
I‘m looking forward to next year when AAA studios will continue to disappoint even harder while indie games flourish and gain market share. Maybe the AI bubble pops too. One can only hope.
AI bros will claim anything for some claude, I mean clout.
It‘s also an industry full of enthusiasts with a passion for what they do. Well mostly. I don‘t have to tell you how much that gets exploited. The workers who got the boot over joining a union actually seemed interested in returning to office again in interviews, though not without joining a union first.
It definitely reminds me of that Steam controller someone on Youtube built by sawing a Steamdeck in two and gluing the ends together so to speak. They said it‘s their dream controller so I‘m sure this controller already has some fans. I just can‘t tell by looking at it.
Not gonna lie the controller looks ass but maybe it feels fantastic so I‘ll wait with my final judgement. I‘m interested to see how they will try to push VR since most users are still incredibly uninterested in it.
You‘re getting downvotes for no reason. Also anyone who ever had to contact Steam support felt how criminally understaffed they are so it makes sense they make tons of money per employee I guess.
He wrote task manager and get this: It‘s also the guy who wrote task manager. Did I mention he wrote task manager?
Vote stupid far rights, get stupid far eight policies.
That‘s funny because Denmark ended physical letter mail this year too. They are locked in when it comes to building a dystopian surveillance state.
AI messed up GPU prices even before AI was really a thing. When everyone was caught up in the Bitcoin hype, Nvidia already focused completely on AI instead of banking on the crypto hype, neglecting consumer GPUs. And we still feel that today.
Just play Vintage story at this point. The development of this has been such a dumpster fire in terms of how the project has been handled from a top level from the very beginning that I don‘t have any hopes it will release in a decent state under its new old owner.
