Don’t get my hopes up. I want them to lose as much of their dumb tech bro money as possible.
PSA:
Loose is the opposite of tight.
Lose is the opposite of win.
Also lefty-loosy, righty-tighty, or if you want to translate from the Spanish expression "la derecha oprime y la izquierda libera" ("the right oppresses and the left liberates") that's sage advice too.
Lowes is a store
The problem is it will hurt everyone when they fail
Anyone relying on this shit deserves it. Let these venture capitalists throwing money at Ai all burn.
I agree with you about feeling no pity for the tech bros. However, a big appeal of AI for them is elimination of employees. And that's going to hurt more regular folks who did not sign up for AI on a much more noticeable level. I dont think any nation is set up to handle the level of unemployment that's on the horzon. So ignoring the environmental impacts of LLM/AI servers; let's get national food, shelter, and healthcare systems in place, and then I'd be all for letting the venture capitalists shove their dicks in blenders.
What I am saying is the investments are at a scale that it could cause a resession when these companies fail. Meaning its likely to effect everyone in the economy we all work in. You wont need to be working on AI to feel the impact
