Well, that’s what the economy books say.

History books strongly disagree. Which side are you on?

Wow that’s really really cool

I would love to see your creative side. Do you draw or write?

Would you do a haiku on the spot? Pick your idea, but if you ask me about what I’d suggest something along:

snow. flakes

fox jumping

poof

Dismantle capitalism

<insert image of pristine white field with red fox, in the background behind a thick fog there’s a city burning>

I’m not great with words or imagery, my thing is music.

Your turn.

Sounds too hard so I’ll go with either poney, or maybe mini unicorn. At least it comes in rainbow colours.

NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can’t go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I’m sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.

I don’t know what you call trust, but count me out mate.

Just because there’s no option it’s not meant to say I can’t see the grift.

That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.

There’s probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

So kids, sit down. This is how I met your mother. Buckle up, this version spans 5 years.

Mate I hope you get hold of your depression and find a way to sort or ignore your problems in a healthy, guilt free way.

Look I’m from South America and I get what you’re saying. Many parallels although to a lesser degree. Probably because South America has had tough life but not as tough as South East Asia.

Although I can imagine what hell would look like: commuting for 1h to sit in an office that has more people than desks to have a zoom meeting over VPN with flaky wifi and AC that is set to overheat whoever sits under the vent and under heat everyone further.

Oh did I tell you that meeting could have been an email? And the coffee machine broke yesterday. And there’s a bathroom queue.

I can’t do that Hal.

The best I can do is install a plugin for more ads.

Is she called Leona? That would be cool, it means lioness in Portuguese.

That requires paying Google maps for their services. I don’t know how their running costs and budget work.

What’s preventing a person bent on harassing you from coming back another day when you’re not home with a bigger bat? Why the need to incite violence here? There’s so many better ways to sort this, including a frank discussion, practical joke back at the offender and anything in between.

Exactly what I though

I’m with you.

That Stabler guy though…

What prevents me from doing all of that with a pre existing domain that belongs to a competitor?

If you get a state sponsored actor could it overtake things by brute force?

I am imagining this distributed nature of tor is similar to crypto currencies, where if you convince a big enough part of the network that an event did happen, for all practical purposes it’s as if it did happen.

Wait there’s a tv show??

What do they use it for?

Are we having stereotypical talk shop about printers?

I though it was an urban legend, but I did buy a used brother and I’m def delighted. Spent less on it than a round of inkjet for my crappy Canon. Guess what, 6 months later and I’m still using the toner that came in it. I’d be in the 2nd round of dried inkjet.
