Marc Maron is the person who people think the lot of these guys like Burr are. His comedy/commentary is earnest. He has conviction. People like Burr are performative commentary. They go back to the dressing room to wash off the clown makeup so they can go back to being their private self. They don’t give a shit about the things the say into the mic.
To play the devils advocate. Someone some where every day has been calling for a massive crash since the last massive crash. Their thesis is based whatever current events are at the time.
That aside. I think the so called AI bubble is distracting from something worse. The west has not been inventing or producing anything in a long time. The prevailing zeitgeist had shifted to a greater-fool pyramid-scheme type mindset. It happened a long time ago. Long before AI.
Everyone believes they’re smart for thinking they can park their money in the right investments and live passively off others doing the hard work. Nobody wants to work anymore.
Sorry (not sorry) if that last sentence makes Lemmy users irate like it does on other social media. I don’t know if it does or doesn’t. But I think it’s true.
It’s not just billionaires scooping up all the wealth. People have been fighting each other for the scraps too.
If the so called AI bubble bursts. I think a bigger domino falls. The one where everyone has to face a sobering reality. They all thought they were smarter than each other by trying to get rich off the other person doing all the work. Which has led us to a point where nobody has been doing anything. Not inventing new things. Not producing good product. Not manufacturing anything. Doing nothing but watching imaginary lines go up. This is not just AI but the whole of society has come to be built on this mindset.
Everything has been hyper-capitalized. The kid with a lemonade stand has been trying to figuring out how he can minmax his investment by giving you a tiniest pinch of lemonade powder per cup of water. It’s crazy times. Not just the AI industry.
Probably the same person.
People don’t like being forced to engage with belligerent reactionaries.
Imperial America only gets worse the more fascist it becomes. I wonder how many people cheering on American support for Taiwanese semiconductor industry realize it’s nothing more than imperialism. They don’t care about Taiwan. That’s the state department propaganda they’re trained to parrot. Imperial America wants that chip technology. Soon as they can steal that chip tech by bringing production to America then Taiwan is fucked.
I suspect the amount fucks anyone gives about Taiwan is worse than the electoral support for the current regime. Definitely not the 1/3rd who voted for it. 1/3rd non-voters don’t give a fuck on account of their ignorance to everything. A good portion of Democrat voters don’t care given that even Dems have been pushing for appropriating TSMCs manufacturing secrets.
It’s worse. It’s state controlled media. Cancel Culture is about the population shunning individuals they dislike. In this instance it’s authoritarian government.
That’s not the answer. It states specifically when a sub is banned for having no mods. The message says it was banned for violating rules.
I’m guessing they found some trumped up reason to get rid of it.
