That was the idea. Tech companies don‘t want us to have nice things because it makes their products look all the more shitty. And so they attack anything open source that they don‘t directly benefit from. Some investors are probably seeing the shitty ink printer business and hope they can degrade 3D printing to that degree too. They take any opportunity to fuck the small people for a chance of making an easy buck.
Someone isn‘t relax maxxing.
The AI ouroboros grows, but the profit margins shrink.
I remember it like the Metaverse. Or NFTs.
You mean the CEO of an AI focused tech startup blatantly lied? No way! This is impossible.
Torment Nexus devs protest being tormented.
Some mobile games already work that way where they claim to be f2p but it‘s just a demo of the actual game with ingame purchases for the other levels. However annoying, it‘s not flat out scamming customers like shutting down servers months after release is. Perhaps devs should still be required to label it as a demo just in case though.
In reality things are becoming more scarce because of AI and I‘m afraid we‘ve only scratched the surface. And all that when we barely have any actual use cases for it.
For most people it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.
Probably a way to encourage them to quit. No doubt they did it before. They probably just made the announcement to put unnecessary stress on employees.
They’re utilizing nostalgia. Mixing edgy themes like war imagery and the Epstein files with Lego is also fascinating. In a way a lot of us are fascinated by having their childhood be ruined. I am not sure why but it‘s definitely a thing people seek out.
It‘s funny. The people who betted against the housing bubble knew 2006 would be the year where none of this was sustainable anymore. The bubble burst in 2008 and they had to take several loans to finance their bet. Despite it being obvious to us now and a few insiders back then, that bet was highly risky because you never know who might help the market go down a self destructive path for how long. Even when everyone already knows it‘s a bubble they might spend a $trillion more just to keep up the illusion. The government will bail them out anyway, right? So why not take the entire economy down with them?
Yup. More and more manufacturers are actively showing loyal end consumers the middle finger by producing even less to drive up prices even more. Meanwhile other manufacturers are going bankrupt because who is buying cooling systems or new cases when no one can afford a new build? This is an active push against ownership and for tech feudalism.
I do but it doesn‘t matter much because the US Empire holds all the cards here.
By then a lot of other PC components manufacturers went bankrupt because they aren‘t selling anything when no one is buying new computers. We are likely experiencing the collapse of the home computer market as we know it.
I‘m a little bit confused because all of this is moving so quickly (and badly) when the EU is known to work slow. How do they even have an app ready so quickly? Even when it‘s trash. It‘s almost as if they act on the ‚wisdom‘: „Apologizing later is easier than asking for permission first.“ I get the impression they started working on this before any legislation was even proposed.
I doubt people with private jets use computers. Especially privately. Linux even less so.
Gee I wonder why warehouses keep catching fires lately…
The whole business model of tech startups is to lose money until you cornered the market and make unfathomable amounts of money. By the time you realize „well shit, it really was the biggest heist in history“ it‘s already too late. They are too powerful to be punished for it. So this definition of yours plays right into their cards. The only saving grace here is that AI will never be profitable. But people said the same thing about Youtube and now it looks like Google might swallow Disney soon.
We‘re going to see more headlines like this. Probably for years to come.
