What in the Sweet Jesus mother of fuck is this? An AI post?

I’m starting to believe the same.

No this one guy certainly isn’t. But it’s shit like this that’s feeding the beast. In a way it’s almost like the AI version of greenwashing.

Also I wouldn’t trust AI with tough time stuff. There’s already several documented cases where it’s led to people committing suicide and whatever else.

It’s definitely gotten pretty weird. I’m on my last warning for inciting violence over saying I’m surprised no one has gotten killed yet, in a poorly designed traffic intersection that results in near-daily collisions near my house. Seriously. Someone reported it for inciting violence, the mods on the thread removed it and Reddit warned me and banned my account for a period. I’ve had a few other ones that were pretty random too.

Maybe I’m a dying breed, but I don’t feel like own something if I can’t put my hands on it physically. I view Steam as leasing and not ownership. I’ve bought a fair amount of stuff on it over the years, but I don’t feel like I actually own it.

Oh I think the backlash is warranted. This whole thing is just running on a doom spiral of debt. That never ends well. Wait until the rug pull, where those token costs go from a few thousand a month, to suddenly putting companies in jeopardy because they had to charge what they actually should be to generate revenue, and someone ends up with a million dollar bill at the end of the month. Can’t wait for that part. Also can’t wait for the brainless execs to quit sounding like robots, and foaming at the mouth as they are doing just about the next thing to jacking off while thinking of firing us all. No, the rage is definitely warranted.

The payoff is for the executives.

My advice to literally everyone, is cut your output to zero. If you are at one of the AI vision shit shacks, play the game. Absolute garbage slop output. Call in sick lots. Take your vacation. And check the fuck out. Push buttons with no thought or foresight. If someone asks you to show them how you do your job, mislead them at every turn, and don’t show them how to actually do it. Pretend to. I have one of these AI consultants coming in next week to “help me” by having me show them all my tasks so they can “automate” some of my mundane tasks. I’m going to smile and show them 5% of what I actually need to do 🖕🏼

That will maybe happen, but it’ll be at suppressed wages. That’s what happens every economic downturn, if you are at the top, you benefit. Everyone else gets another layer of prosperity chopped off underneath them. You’ll have precarious employment for a couple years and then gladly accept a job you wouldn’t even look at right now.

I’ve got a new Thinkpad for work, and it’s actually been pretty good so far, I’m pleasantly surprised. The battery lasts the entire day, it’s consistent…

I’ve also had elitebooks, and with HP when you get a good one it’s generally good. But it sometimes took a couple attempts to get a good one. Never got one to go the distance either. I’m not necessarily hard on my work laptops either, they get used, but it’s not like I’m throwing them around like frisbees or anything.

I think Tampa and Buffalo are going to be the real matchup for the east. If nothing gets upset.

West is a tougher call. I think Edmontons always a perennial threat, it’s been a rocky year for them though so I dunno. Colorado for sure will be in the mix.

It’s time to transfer our focus over to the other stress case.

Hey, I’m a leafs fan. I’ll tell you what though, I’ve come to the conclusion it’s good for the ticker. That things a rusty old bucket of regret at this point, but I’ve got a saying, “Just once before I die.” It’s what’s keeping me going at the ripe old age of 45: the perpetual hope that it’ll happen once before I die. I’m going to live to be 200 at the time of my medically assisted suicide from boredom!

Absolute canyon that’s opened up, with inflation and earnings over the medium term.

Great. So in the meantime, looking forward, Calgary is fixing their water system. So there’s that.

National post is just publishing ball licking UCP bullshit. Calgary mayor rightfully calls out the provinces bullshit, and then all of the sudden the ol Conservative/Post Media circle jerk is going to be publishing this shit daily from now on.

Canadian media is absolute trash.

It’s not always this simple, but generally higher wall counts>infill percentage for strength and durability (and filament use)

There’s a lot of tomfuckery going on with the baskets too. Oh we have 11% inflation but take out fuel and groceries and hey look everyone it’s only 3%!! Yay us we beat inflation!!!

What also makes me absolutely laugh until I cry, is they focus everyone on annual inflation, and conveniently try to make everyone forget the situation. Five year inflation remains to be something absolutely hysterical, it’s something like 24 or 25% I beleive.

I did a 2020 build just as we were all going home, and it was decent enough. After the first wave of GPU craziness, I thought you know what, I’m going to grab one of those 4070ti cards and a 5800x3d, and topped it up to 128gb of Ram (it was on sale for like under $200, so why not, I just wanted to fill the slots). I mean sure it’s AM4, and the 4070 was supposedly the worst card ever and such a waste of money and blah blah blah, but it works. Will work for quite some time. And hey if things keep going the way they are, at least I can put my kids through college by selling some of the Ram in 10 years time lol.

Are they really though? What has AMD done that’s been so consumer friendly, as of late?

I’m not convinced. I think there’s a decent enough chance that in a couple of years it’ll be the opposite, we’ll all have supercharged Hemi Cuda’s on our desks. Because there’s been a lot of production that’s all been allocated to the AI market, and when that implodes…

I can say this succinctly: Tesla is going to fucking collapse on a lot of very stupid retail investors.

I mean don’t get me wrong, people can stay irrational longer than you can stay insolvent, but Tesla legit makes me shake my head. First off, buddy clearly has major major mental problems, yet he clearly controls the board and runs this company as his own personal fifedom, committing all sorts of shit that in any other country and regulatory system would probably nearly have him behind bars. None of this is priced in.

Tesla hasn’t innovated from a car perspective since 2020. Everything has been smoke and mirrors and bullshit like the Cybertruck. FSD? I have a Tesla in the garage that couldn’t reliably drive itself automomously down my alley way, let alone in real world situations. Yet the autobots claim it’s driving their cars fully, which is legit absolute bullshit. FSD has gotten better, sure, but it absolutely needs pretty much full attention and thats nowhere close to changing. So was it full driving by the end of year 2016? 2017? 2018? 2019? In six months. 2020? 2021? 2022? 2023? 2024? 2025!!! 2026!!!

So I mean price in robots that are clearly being driven by people, empty promises, a ton of bullshit. Mental illness, infantile behaviour, let’s call a spade a spade, people can do what they want with their money, invest in what they want, but this stock is 100% hype and 0% actual substance. I don’t care what sort of methodology you try to argue it meets. It defies any sort of logic or rationality. So could it hit 20,000? Maybe. Could hit zero. You might as well throw shit at the wall at this point. How it’s worth more than Toyota though, is a sign of how bad this whole downturn really could be.
