If only it were so. Unfortunately prices were jacked up worldwide to compensate. If only the Americans were paying the tarrif it would have been an extra $50-100 for the console in the U.S. easy.

AI isn’t driving up prices. Oligarchs are. And they aren’t using their own money but our retirement funds to do it.
Ai is just a tool. One that is being built out because the billionaires demand it. They are already wielding this tool to bludgeon the masses.

Does not seem to work.
Serfs WORK the land lords OWN it. If you make $100 a month working the land the lord takes $80 as rent.
Better not have a bad weather year and only earn $50 a month as you will be kicked off the land and replaced with another farmer that can produce $100 or more.


Only way there is a mass rexit is if the bot accounts get fed up and leave.
Can’t say I’m looking forward to swarms of bot accounts descening on Lemmy


Funny thing, seems like all the billionaires are all for eugenics.
In fact they are pro anything that brings them more wealth and power whether it be destroying the planet or destroying the human race (Thiel) or destroying the night sky (Musk)


Sure one BTC is one BTC. But how many USD is a BTC worth? A lot of that depends on the stable coin tether and that is backed 100% by “trust me bro”
And 99% of cryptoheads are just fine with “trust me bro” they just want “number go up” the rest of it seems to be misdirection and distraction.


The world isn’t moving towards war and authoritarianism. It’s being pushed there by the very people that own the AI companies.


For someone who is engrossed in SCIFI what he is presenting will be salvaged from the wreckage is terribly optimistic.
If society doesn’t wake up and organize itself the data centers will likely be used as the operational epicenter of the dystopian police state.
One could easily argue that is the expected end use of the data centers by their owners and the AI hype cycle is deliberare con forcing the plebs to forge their own chains with their retirement accounts.


The people are the product. You think anything is built for the end users benefit? These things only exist to spy on you, track you and spam ads for the benefit of a few billionaires that are In power so the can further enrich themselves and hold onto/increase their power.
Buying Twitter and turning it into Nazi heaven all the while banning anyone who disagreed with him under the banner of “free speech” wasn’t a big enough clue for you?
But it’s nothing new . Listen to the dollop podcast on Elon Musk. He didn’t appear out of a vacuum. People are formed by their upbringings.
Well he moved the bullet because he wanted trump to rule. Just awaiting DOGE to announce they are going to make recovering the Ark of the Covenant a top priority.
Ha ha. Traffic will move to let billionaires through quickly.
Regular folks will be stuck in endless traffic trapped in driverless cars that charge them $5 a minute for the privilege all while playing the same loud and obnoxious audio video ads on repeat for hours on end.
