Yeah except it’s all fun and games until someone gets hungry and needs to eat. There, the problem begins all over again.

It’s actually what’s keeping this whole AI bubble propped up. And what’s making it get more bubbly. I’ll extend you hardware on margin but only if it’s my hardware and I’ll just keep doing that over and over until the musical chairs stop. You buy hardware that you don’t pay for and I sell it to you for imaginary money and the investors reward us for that with money thats mostly debt and that’s what keeps people dancing around and around and around…

It’s almost like if everyone would quit blowing their load over every game reveal and preordering themselves into oblivion and quit chasing shiny new things all the time and hoarding…well it’s almost like the old trad rules of supply and demand would almost, dare I say, kick in?

Alas.

We’ve had ours for about 2.5 years now. We love it, it’s really enjoyable to drive. I love the simplicity of them the most. I just got a new truck too, and I wish I could have got an EV that would have worked size wise and price wise. It runs on dead dinosaurs and feels like one.

Can you please just stop? No one’s a victim here.

You took like a tiny morsel of something, and just cranked it to 11. Please remove me from whatever timeline you are on, trust me we have zero in common. Our paths never need to cross again. I dont like the serially traumatized.

You do realize it’s probably some reused script from somewhere. This whole freshwater thing is also an exaggeration. This whole AI delusion is just that, a delusion. It’s a bunch of hype and salesperson bullshit. It won’t get to the point where we lose all of our freshwater, this bitch is about to blow from a bubble perspective. Then it’ll just be on to the next shiny toy, from an investor standpoint. Watch this next part!

I just don’t use it. I also don’t like many other things, but I don’t get borderline psychotic over it. Holy fuck is this sub hysterical. I’m quite anti AI myself, but this is something else

I also meant to add just maybe don’t scream about it on social media and farm the outrage and virtue, like this person seems to be doing. That changes this from someone making a choice, to someone making a choice and making entertaiment/drama over it. Two different things.

Personally I find people that go home, make some sort of soapbox post like this (that also sounds sort of made up), and grandstands to farm the outrage highly unattractive. That gives me a lot of “look at me” energy and vibes. So I mean if this guy’s like me, then I’d say both sides dodged a bullet!?

Fair enough on the MAGA hat stuff. You can’t rationalize with people that are that polarized. I’m not 100% sure that’s the case here though, that this person would be that far gone, I mean we’d never know from the very little we do know, but hey I mean you are free to make your decisions rightfully wrongfully or otherwise. And you shouldn’t feel guilty or any weight or burden for making them for the reasons that you do.

…how do you get that, from what I have said??

I see reddit users have showed up to Lemmy now. Because this is as logical as that rat nest of noise.

I guess so!

They almost seem to be as delusional and out of touch as the ultrapro AI people, honestly.

And that’s fine. What are your thoughts on going home and screaming about it on social media and trying to farm that virtue?

And I’d argue it was the likely the best case scenario for both of them (making a couple assumptions)

It sure does, and you come with lots of baggage. I’m quite sure her closet has just as many skeletons as mine does.

I guess not, hey?

What do all us unoriginal people do then? Just curious? I mean dating in my day was a movie or a walk somewhere with a Starbucks or whatever. This was before texting and dating apps though. We definitely still struggled with this question, and I feel like I probably bored the shit out of a few girls. No doubt about it. Some of us are just boring though.

It’s not, but people just want to be angry and climb on soapboxes.

It’s kind of hand in hand with our age of glut. Take Netflix for example, I can sit there for an hour, not actually watch anything, and just endlessly scroll through stuff, because there’s too much. Its the same with these dating app things, like people cease to be people and instead are just menus and choices and things essentially. It’s turned us all (myself included) into vapid empty beings. I just don’t think we are meant to be as connected with each other, as we are today. I don’t think it’s healthy for our long term prosperity.

I don’t think this would be the same as that. It’s one step before that. It’s basically like saying I’m looking at this persons status and name, and making broad assumptions without ever actually talking with them in any sort of detail.

Now if they went on the date and then the person was using chat gpt or whatever for everything, or using it constantly, well then yeah that would be pretty dumb and a bit more tantamount to your example.
