I have a succulent I bought probably two years ago that's labeled crassula cornuta. It's been standing up straight for all that time, but sometime in the last couple of weeks, it's fallen ...

my opinion about this tech while it remains the tool of choice for hackers, spammers, scammers, greedy corpos and fascist governments. It's difficult to thoughtfully consider how "useful" these "tools" are while watching them enshittify everything around you day after day with no end in sight.

I'm not active enough on enough platforms to see it, and I'm simply in my own bubble. Putting all of that aside, the fact is we are under daily assault by corporations and the government using tech with buzzy hype words like AI, LLM, neural networks and agentic operators in order to spy on us,

Gonna politely push back on this as well. No LLM I'm aware of has shown they produce a quality service anyone wants to pay for. They just get forced down our throats by tech bros and management who believe they're the Star Trek computer or a magic oracle, in spite of all evidence to the contrary.

This can't be stressed enough. Everything, and I mean ev-ery-thing they have been doing has been performative. All the hype, all the doom drumming, all the "ex-employee" drama, all of it is to create an illusion of value that They. Cannot. Produce. And. Won't. Produce. For. Decades. If ever.

Yep, this Hacker News post has the right of it. They're pushing for a "great slowdown" because the gains have been incremental for, uh, a while. Like I'm not saying it's nothing, but it's nowhere near enough to get them to profitability, so they need an escape, and now. Or their valuation poofs.
Cracks are starting to appear. Open Ai and Anthropic are publicly asking for slowdown in AI research. Translation: We see this technology not being any more useful than what it is now, no AGI is coming, and the first one to accept this and slow down the dollar burn rate will incur the wrath of the market. So let's say this big boogey man technology will end all life on earth and we all slow down together. Bonus points if we can lobby for this to be included in the national security bucket. Then US govt can bail us out. Yay!

If Nvidia is the bank, they should be starting to sweat a bit. It's not often companies ask for a voluntary slowdown.

That flat screen car looks like a repair nightmare waiting to spring out and stab you in your anal cavity, and I'm certain that's intentional on the part of the manufacturer. People don't care enough about repairability and they will suffer the consequences one way or another.
