The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We live in the dumbest of times. Someone just told me they don't understand how a transport could be 40% above quote. They quoted 4 trucks and needed 7. I looked at the quote. Done with AI. Space use on trucks fully maximized. AI played Tetris. Problem is that there's no way to load. We'll done. 000
The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I'm not categorically against AI. I am categorically against hyper scaling this shit by building data centers en masse so one of the 5 richest assholes in the race can be first to built the model that eventually kills us all. 100

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Look, I'm not a socialist. Never was and likely never will be. I'm a moderate. I believe in lasting progress through incremental change. However, I understand that you can't incrementally fight fascism. So, I will vote for whoever is the alternative to the right this fall. We all should. Full stop. 100
The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Beating Trump and the GOP will be a most important first step. However, if we want to move this country back on a path to fulfilling her promise, we must take down the entire oligarch system without exception, billionaires and mega corporations alike. 030

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 31/08/2026It will never fail to amaze me that all it would take to change the entire country for the better is about 1 week. If everyone, every single one of us, stops going to work for a full week, the powerful will come begging on their knees. Alas, we think too much as individualists to use that power. 000

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 29/08/2026We have become such a horrible country. This can't be fixed by new policy. Tax rates can be fixed by new policy. What we need is a complete reset. What we had before enabled what we have now. What we have now must not continue. 020

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 21/08/2026When all is said and done, most AI companies will have crashed, the tech sector overall will contract significantly and a lot of AI stuff will disappear. The tech will survive, but will be used sparingly where it makes sense because of high cost. The hyperscale mode will implode. 12 to 24 months. 100

It is the right to disagree without fear, protest without retaliation, report the truth without intimidation, and demand answers from those in power. When those protections disappear one by one, authoritarianism has already begun to grow. 9323190
