No more resources for data centres.
It's fucking insane that we are pumping trillions into replacing human workers when we can't even provide everyone with food, housing, and healthcare.
These companies need to be stopped.
Some of them are actually realizing that the computing resources needed are more expensive than the human workers. Once these companies stop fucking around and start charging real prices, this will be more obvious.
we could provide everyone with food, housing and healthcare. we chose not to. it’s more important for jeff to get another yacht and a fancy wedding in venice.
Yes, which is why we not to draw a line in the sand and demand no more building of data centers.
If there's nothing in it for us, or all we get are the externalities, we should say no, as forcibly as is necessary.
We aren‘t spending trillions on data centers. The elites that hoarded all the wealth like a bunch of dragons do. And they will keep funding our decline until we do something about it.
You know, Siegfried probably had the right idea dumping all that gold into a river after slaying the dragon.
I don't fucking want a job. I want progress.
Build the data centres.
Lmfao, "progress"
If you want a vacuous word then buy a dictionary or a sign that says "progress".
If you want a real thing that tangibly benefits a real person, I'm listening.
Well I had to build a table in google sheets yesterday and I didn't have all the buttons because it was on andriod. I just got chatgpt to do it and it nailed it in one go. Also sorted out my CV and cover letters.
More of that is good.
LLMs are dead-end tech. There is no progress to be made there, dumbass
Well they are still making progress, so when i mean I want progress. I want what is happening right now to keep happening.
It's not like these companies, especially google are only using LLM tech.
