Before that it was ‘big data’. remember that?

every 5 or so years the media needs some new tech to hype up to get people paranoid

Exactly. It will lead to improved automation for industrial processes but it won’t ever be a consumer tech other than improving your siri results.

It won’t replace jobs, anymore than industrial robots in factories replace them.

‘big data’ ‘crypto’ etc.

AI is just the next ‘big thing’ that amounts to nothing. 90% of what anyone says in the press/media is total nonsense. And most AI researchers are downplaying the hype because they know it’s all bullshit and AI will ultimately not be a major change anymore than navigation systems in cars was. It is merely convenience and those that ‘rely’ on it will end up in trouble.

It’s a complementary technology, not a revolution.

the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.

hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.

they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn’t ‘take’ from them they would have more.

yeah, cats bury their shit. they don’t shit on grass and leave it exposed.

only time cats shit in the open is to prove a point. OP probably pissed off this cat

I don’t go out because post covid everything costs 100% more and is 100% worse.

I spend $60 on two beers and a mcdonalds quality hamburger + fries last week. F that. in 2019 that would have been 20 bucks. in a place that was crowded and it took me like 30m to get my food. and almost every place is like that now. double the price for half the service or quality of product.

if going out was fun and affordable I’d do it more. I went out regularly before covid. I just don’t want to have to drop 30-40 bucks for a single beer and junk food meal anytime i want to socialize.

all my old spots that were affordable, chill and fun, are gone. i used to hang out in coffee shops after work because they were quiet and i don’t drink… now they all closed at 2pm. bars are noisy and crowded and want $15+ for a cocktail and $10 for a budweiser. that used to be $10 and $5.

cool. i can say from experience most women I have ever met do not play video games.
