Going to gouge all the midstream businesses in the long run. Hardware retailers, PC assemblers, all those little companies selling custom cases and overclock kits and fancy cooling appliances.
The lack of cheap but crucial components will have some ugly coat tails for the rest of the industry.
the world of international relations established after the second world war crashed to a halt.
I would argue COVID did more damage to international trade, travel, and diplomacy than any '25 US foreign policy.
The pandemic era quarantines/economic contractions and their reactionary backlash polarized nations along the axis of preserving life versus growing the economy.
Modern Trumpism lives downstream of that crisis.
The US media was heavy handed in reporting the Federal response but deathly quiet reporting the mob violence and killing perpetrated by the rioters.
Talking about Tianeman while fixating on Tank Man is a bit like only referring to J6 by holding up photos of Ashli Babbitt taken the day before. Or reporting on the LA Riots exclusively from the perspective of the Roof Koreans. Or holding up photos of Iranian girls in swimsuits any time someone mentions the '79 revolution. Or quoting Elon Musk on White Genocide In South Africa. Or doing the “Haitians are eating the dogs and cats” line to explain our modern immigration policies.
It’s the same right wing propaganda liberals seem to recognize in their own backwards, but refuse to accept could have been applied to poison them against another country’s people.
I’ve been told by users that it didn’t happen
Don’t be shy. Name some names.
Europe is about the call for the end of Trump
I thought they were about to hand the UK, France, Germany, and Sweden to fascist parties over the next three years
This goes higher on the chain than Putin
Humans caused ALL of this!
A handful of humans with deep roots in the financial sector and the government contracting space.
AI popping won’t change this. These losers will still be in charge in every way that matters.
Does this mean we will finally stop seeing people post “Release The Epstein Files”? Or is that still too hot a meme to drop?
I wonder who spends more time behind bars? Russell Brand or Greta Thunberg?
What if Five Eyes was Russian?
Also not to be that guy, but is this really such a massive concern that the government needs to focus on right now?
Labour is flailing. They came into office with an enormous popular mandate to undo the corrupt and abusive practices of the Conservative government, then proceeded to extend and cement these same unpopular policies while engaging in all the same corrupt practices - in many cases taking money and gifts from the exact same people.
This is what they’ve got. Haphazardly pandering to any special interest group that won’t step on the toes of a mega-donor or trip over graft being committed by another influential MP.
Seems like they are more concerned about handling lobsters than their own citizens after they labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group and had anyone supporting them arrested and charged as such.
AIPAC fully has its hooks into the Labour government, especially at the leadership level. In many ways, the sanction on boiled lobster and the sanction on Palestine Rights activists is coming from the same place. A need to crank up policing on everyone everywhere for anything that can justify a government sanction.
The UK police state is metasticizing again.
Can’t believe an absolute monarch would behave like this
allegedly plotting to overthrow the Russian government through terrorist means
the crackdown on democratic rights in Russia
Wait, what?
A Veblen good is a type of luxury good for which the demand increases as the price increases, in apparent contradiction of the law of demand, resulting in an upward-sloping demand curve.
CEOs are probably hedging on LLMs adapting faster to scammers then video versa
Racing towards the Singularity, a thing that is definitely real and exists and is achievable in our lifetimes.
We are reaching a convergence of accuracy, and once a critical mass of investors realize it, this whole thing implodes.
Industrial dinosaurs have a way of sticking around in strict defiance of market forces. The O&G industry is a great example. They’ve been able to outrun more efficient and cost-effective methods of production and application of energy for decades, in large part thanks to lobbyist-lead state investments in long-term infrastructure and buying out / shutting down of competitors.
I do think the AI boom is facing bigger headwinds than the automotive or airline industries, in large part due to their bloated balance sheets and highly speculative asset prices. But in the same way the big 2008-era investment banks were saved by a multi-trillion dollar bailout from the Fed and the Treasury, I have no doubt Silicon Valley is simply Too Big To Fail in the long run.
Westerners would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
American unironically screaming “You voted for this!” at a children’s mass grave.
They’ve invested extensively in automating their supply chain to the point that humans aren’t looking inside these boxes anymore. And as customer support is increasingly replaced with AI, the ability to flag and report businesses for fraud has erodes even as the businesses themselves have grown more sophisticated in duping Amazon anti-fraud systems.
The quest to remove every actual thinking human from the inside of your business results in humans outside of your business exploiting the blind spots to the hilt.
That’s cool while it lasts. I don’t have a ton of faith in a project that’s just one guy’s personal crusade to create a non-shit browser, though.
That’s just crack.
Falling price of cocaine more often than not means you’re getting it stepped on a lot more. You’re not getting high quality for cheap.
Enshitification came for the narcotics industry ages ago.
