@ari@fedi.arimelody.space Oh no; wouldn't that be awful?

@ariadne @ari — I for one love paying higher electric bills so Sam and Elon can run suicide and porn machines.

@ari and their investors are wondering when IA is going to turn a profit... 🫧 pop...

@ari i fear they lost that a while ago

@ari

The useful part has already happened.

Billions of people who can't even agree on where to get lunch all agree that we fucking hate this goddamn bullshit.

@ari

"I went to some AI and political organizing broke out!!"

@ari I warn Microsoft CEO that his company must "do something useful" with their billion dollars or they'll lose the war against Linux which actually serves people and not the other way around

@ari maybe they should consider making something useful if they want to turn a profit. wild idea, i know.

@ari *heavy sarcasm* ohhhh nooo that would be terrible

@ari
I think the most useful thing Microsoft could do with their AI is shove it up their arse.

@ari@fedi.arimelody.space
So, the bubble is starting to pop?

From that article: On the supply side, Nadella says that AI companies and policy makers must build out "a ubiquitous grid of energy and tokens,"...

Wtf does that word salad even *mean*!?

@ari

@raccoon @ari Yeah and apparently OpenAI is like a year away from, going bankrupt unless they find new funding, so yeah

@ari @aetios

"Grockle, please show me Bill Gates being slapped off a dock with a giant dead fish wielded by a young, vital Ralph Nader."

@ari That's cute that they think they have our permission.

@paula8 @ari @raccoon Oh no 🫠

@mkj @ari depressingly, I think it means "agree a way to chop up the supply into chunks and sell energy rations in the form of tokens."

@ari wait that's seriously what he said?

(The video is there, but I don't feel like going over 38 minutes of his bullshit.)

@paula8 @ari @raccoon The OpenAi news is like, from yesterday or something
