But all that money can’t be wrong!

Great news! That is happening, McDonald’s has had a few bad years but takes longer.

I would settle for cheap again. I used to always have a go to wendy’s meal that was a small chilli, 2 spicy chicken snack wraps and a Jr bacon cheese burger with a small drink (you put the chilli in the wraps and burgers). Since it was all off the cheap menu it used to be well under $10, then it was $15, then $17 and the last time I was there it was just over $20, that is just not a thing anyone can look at and think worthwhile.

Are they going to be put to work in these camps?, If I concentrate I seem to remember that work will set them free.

Terrorism is going to become so hot this year.

Fascist butt

That “economy” is already falling apart. Subscriptions are down, services on “the cloud” are becoming less reliable, piracy is way up again, and major nations and companies are moving to alternatives.

Hell, DDR3 is making a comeback. All that is needed is one manufacturer to start making 15 year old tech again and bam, the house of cards falls.

What could a GPU cost? $5000?

Great example of american values.

Ha! Unlikely, but having a notepad program have automatic updates by default is just about dumb enough that I could see it.

Yeah, not like we are reading about how “According to the analysis provided by the security experts, the attack involved infrastructure-level compromise that allowed malicious actors to intercept and redirect update traffic destined for notepad-plus-plus.org.”

But maybe the endless need for autoupdates on everything (in this case N++) will be the end of secure software. Ironic.

Maybe that was in an update.

But what about all the new and exciting features?! What if they come out with more letters, then who will be laughing? Likely still you but hey automagic programs are standard right?

Temple OS?

THE LOOP MUST FLOW

Just a few more payments and I am sure they will come around…

Great, so windows 9 is going to come out?

MONORAIL! AI!

PwC

Ah, wonderful company that, if you like war crimes, tax crimes and just dastardly acts in general. Really the gold standard in corruption.

Sure, but how does that make anyone money? You saved time not reading, and your time is worth money sure, but not the untold amounts of money and infrastructure that AI has cost. Your place of work still has an angry client, and you still have the same issues with the rep but now with a risk of the LLM hallucinating something in the summery. Lets say you fire the rep for what was in the summery and it turns out they did not do whatever was said and you have a lawsuit (and I would hope some loss of sleep)? I think generative AI peaked at things without stakes like “Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains” and has just been a solution looking for a problem even since.

More to the point this was always going to end this way without a path to profit (I know a terrible term) OpenAI alone is losing something like $12 Billion a quarter, and although maybe ads will help their bottom line it will also make that final step into the sort of hell no one wants.
