You know, I remember not too long ago when people on Lemmy tried to interpret each other charitably. Then everyone from Reddit came over, polluting the culture, and now practically every exchange on here feels like it’s in bad faith.

That model only works if people actually adopt the technology

Are you dense? That’s not the question.

Depends. Are they still making negative money with it? If so, then I’m gonna say no.

It’s kind of like robbing a bank, killing everyone inside, then running out without taking anything, dropping your wallet in the process

The error message goes stale when it’s been sitting for a while. I need to see a fresh one.

Nah, it won’t be an apocalypse. Just more of the dystopia we’re all completely accustomed to. You’ll get ads based on the content of your blood. Police will show up at your door minutes after you ingest any illegal drug. And you know that thing where LinkedIn and dating apps are like “we may or may not have found you a match, pay us to find out!” You’ll get notifications like that about cancer.

I think this obviously implies that your brain is getting reset each loop, in which case you wouldn’t be aware of anything repeating.

It’s not possible to be racist toward inanimate objects. Computers are not a race. LLMs are not people.

That is correct

Nuclear weapons. I’m in charge now and I’m here to right the ship.

The internet is already dead, brah. We are the bacteria that continue to live on in the corpse while it decomposes.

Nono it’s Kafka

The book is called “The complete stories” and it’s all his fiction other than his novels. My buddy lent it to me, I’ll probably pick up my own copy when he wants it back if that says anything. The Burrow was a story from the perspective of what seems to be a mole, his meticulous process of planning and constructing his burrow, and his endless anxieties related to defending it. I loved it.

Most recent image I took. Was reading The Burrow by Kafka and realized my train stop was coming up and I didn’t have my bookmark.

My opinion is that I hate the government so fucking much it’s unreal. I wish I was Satan so I could devise a new circle of Hell for backers of mass surveillance and personally oversee their eternal torment.

OK how about this actually… All the money came from deleting the existing billionaires from reality.

Alternate premise would be “What if everyone in the world would give you anything or do any service for you for free, feel good about it, and be enriched by it in whatever way needed for it not to be exploitative”

You’re ruining the game!!

The premise is like… magic or something, dude. The premise is not that you are a philosophical zombie and gain billions of dollars through actual capitalism only to one day suddenly gain sentience.

Completely squandering the endless possibilities of being the first billionaire with a soul

I’d probably put an entire university worth of professors on payroll, along with an army of neurodivergence specialists to make it so I could actually make use of them. If I had functionally infinite money I could become so fucking gigabrain. The saving the world stuff should go without saying since we are all ensouled beings unlike the ghoulish husks who actually have billions of dollars.
