Yup. We even know when it’s going to hit - 2027-8.

But hoarding shit and accumulation is what capitalism does.

“we’re literally creating the need for a communist revolution, but the stockholders demand it!”

I mean, OK, we’re all accelerationists now I guess, ducky!

Please, Elon isn’t even as cool as a crackhead.

It was ketamine.

AI is obviously a bubble.

That said, Burry has also predicted 6 of the last 2 crashes.

Bonds are a bad call as well, as the US government is screwed on interest and will be inflating.

Gold is a better call, this looks like stagflation coming.

It’s not deterministic.

This is the first thing about LLMs always, and what most people can’t seem to understand.

LLMs are a thing where you give an input and get an output, and it happens to correspond to reality much of the time. But there’s no actual understanding there.

American Christianity, particularly evengelicalism, is pretty much all vibes based at this point. Why let a written Bible tie you down?

oh totally - it’s just that the myth making of US history isn’t new, and part of why these grifters get away with this nonsense is that there’s been a fertile plot of bullshit for a long time.

But yeah, no, America was not founded as a “Christian nation”. Anyone thinking that is ignoring the Jefferson Bible, or the Treaty of Tripoli.

Yeah, but a prime driver of the American Revolution was that the king wouldn’t let the Americans genocide the natives even more than they were at the time.

You’re conflating the Revolution with the “Founding Fathers”, who were actually mainly associated with the constitution.

Which was in many ways the counter revolution, where the rich and propertied (like Washington) decided that the Revolution had gone too far, with Shay’s Rebellion and revolts against debt being the main driver of that.

I don’t know why Justin Long getting hit by a wrench still makes my chest shake with laughter 2 decades in, but damn if it doesn’t.

“I need some really dumb customers”

“People still on Facebook in 2026?”

“No, even dumber”

“Hmmmmm . . . how about people still on Facebook AND engaging with conspiracy theories?”

"Go on . . . "

that’s completely fair - would labeling then be ideal for you?

Just like a quality architect wouldn’t want to build a house

As someone who actually went to school for that before tech - architects don’t build houses.

You know who does, in the US? Del Webb and other massive builders, who give the lowest common denominator slop because that’s what the economics of the market demand, and the profits of the funding require.

The problem is almost always the power relationships behind the tools - it’s not that the plans are done by CAD or hand that matter.

Sure, but should we then ban any open source that doesn’t run in 10MB or less of memory?

Yeah, exactly.

As someone who has been working on a large open source project for literally years, while trying to support a family, the hardest thing is time to devote to this project (which, absent capitalism, is what I’d spend my life doing).

AI can allow me to instead increase the speed at which I’m delivering the project I’d already architected, designed, and laid out with my other devs. I don’t have the money to pay myself to work on it, much less other devs - and my bank doesn’t take repo stars as mortgage payments unfortunately.

I hate the AI industry - but that’s a problem with the economics, not the tool.

I’m happy to label that my project uses AI assistance, but bans just make me realize that wherever is banning it isn’t more concerned with shipping a solution instead of a crusade against LLMs.

Because setting up crypto portals at scale, and most importantly so they can’t easily be hacked and drained or used for money laundering, is not a simple matter.

You need something to limit spammers using the service to sign up a million accounts
