Seems like the only way companies can turn “AI” profitable is to do massive lay-offs to cut costs. Not because AI can actually take on those jobs that were cut, but because it’s a “good” excuse.

Awesome.

We like in the dumbest cyberpunk version of the future. Predatory capitalism but all the tech is vaporwave and it’s all just dumb dumb finance bros running the show.

That’s literally what a dogwhistle is.

Tropic Thunder! My favorite comedy. It’s so stupid but so funny.

🤷‍♂️ gayest is gayest idk man

Sigh… yes. We’ve already been over this guys.

Frankie Grande is the gayest person. Freddie Mercury is the most bi person. Sabrina Carpenter is the straightest person.

So being a shill is being ideological and educated in a topic? 😂 man, liberals…

The UK has ALWAYS been worse than China what

Performance-wise apple’s chips are way ahead of amd and any other arm based chip as well. Not sure what you’re talking about.

And compatibility ofc, that’s what I meant good software. Like optimizing steamOS to run on the m chips.

But that would never happen of course.

Apple does have the technology though… imagine a steam deck with the m series chip? An m4 pro could run basically all modern games on a small screen at 60+ fps with the right software…

I feel like Outer Worlds at least tried to have a message. But they got scared and pulled away and gave up before the end. It starts way stronger than Fallout 3 imo. At least when it comes to writing and story. It’s of course not a SERIOUS game, but it tries to say something even if it does give up. In my experience Bethesda games are allergic to having a message or point.

That’s literally one of the first missions 😭

I personally loved it. I finished it quicker than most games I’ve played the last few years. I was actually surprised. It’s not a long game by any means, but still.

I didn’t love that it started a bit more radical and became more lib over time, but I still enjoyed the writing and gameplay quite a bit. It’s silly fun, and it’s not pretending not to be. It does have a message, but it’s not overtly drab or serious.

Yeah? The executives are firing people, to lower costs, make the numbers look better…? Which makes the owners of the business money?

Why wouldn’t the executives get bonuses or golden parachutes if let go? They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

Executives don’t make products, provide services, or add any productive value. They are just the face of the owners, and will do the “hard” things for them.

Like lie, commit crimes, do mass-layoffs etc etc.

Depends on the school of Buddhism sure. That’s true. Some don’t have anything resembling what we call God or even gods tho.

I know, but still, the oldest schools of Buddhism don’t have anything that would equate to what we in the west consider a god, or gods.

I know that in east asia, south-east Asia etc., there are schools of Buddhism that do have gods.

But Buddhism being in many ways a rejection of brahamical religion in north india/nepal, also rejected the idea of gods when it first started to develop. I think that’s pretty uncontroversial no?

Not non-religious, but Buddhists don’t believe in god 🤷‍♂️ it’s something

Yeah… you’re gonna have to do better than that. That article is almost entirely based on the Black Book of Communism, a known bullshit book filled with ridiculous numbers and “estimates”.

Like it includes Nazis killed in WW2 as “victims of communism”. And if those are the victims, good riddance in my books…

Source? Never heard of this. They genocided ethnic minorities and instituted privatization, eroding worker rights?

Market value and value are different things. Value is how much a product is socially necessary, and how hard it is to produce. Market value then is what people end up paying for it in a free market. They are often different, but in aggregate for the whole end up being the same.

Capitalism really
