@thomasfuchs we can’t argue with insane revenue growth that I think will be sustained for next 2-3 years as the huge tech companies have probably made guarantees to buy in future in order to get GPUs now. So nvidia will continue to make money. But it’s pretty clear AI is a money loser for everybody else

@mekkaokereke I’m an incredibly dumb person, so is it smart for Biden admin to cheer on the violent suppression and smearing of young college students as antisemites now and then expect for them to show up in November in states that he won by a few thousand votes?

@tchambers especially horrendous when you consider he lowered barriers to advertise, allowing all sorts of low quality advertisers into X that were previously banned. Tells you the exodus of quality advertisers is even worse than top line numbers suggest

@inthehands @virtualinanity @jenniferplusplus finally found it…still a great read and still holds up: https://softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llmentalist/

@inthehands @jenniferplusplus I wish I could find the article again but someone had a great blog post about how LLMs rely on the same mechanisms as the psychic grift

@davidgerard @swearyanthony @allrite wrote this elsewhere & sharing here; “When evaluating possibilities of new tech like blockchain, AR/VR, self driving & GenAI, leftists have actually gone deep into what the tech can & can’t do whereas business media mostly accept company/VC claims at face value. Yes leftists will have typical critiques on capital accumulation but they’re also understand the tech and call out emperor for not having clothes”

@timnitGebru my LinkedIn feed has become a twitter-like cesspool of out and out call for blood, or, worse, support for one group with a loud and blaring non mention of the more helpless group. I tried to explain to a non tech friend that big tech was woke in sense of having badges to celebrate pride month, but when it came to solutions that actually tackle injustice (eg unions), big tech was the boot

@timnitGebru day one I was surprised mainstream coverage included Muslim and leftist Jewish voices. But the last day or so the business machine has really turned on to quash any voices sympathetic to Palestinian suffering.

@web3isgreat btc spiking which makes sense once you realize it’s the whales are trying to exit their fake dollars now that fiat off-ramp is getting closed
