AI companies are switching to token based billing. Money is running out and heavy AI users are going to have to pay closer to the real price. People suddenly having to pay 10 times as much. You can just as well hire an intern for that money.

That’s a gonk thing to say.

cool

Like that word. They’re isn’t anything temperature related in that sentence. It’s impressive how long “cool” keeps being used.

These words are important though. Without them you get in a 1984 world where some fool forces people to use double plus good.

Step 1: start a new economy based on a different kind of money

There isn’t enough terrorism to justify things with that, so children it is.

Sounds completely straightforward that if you own 90% of the wealth, you pay 90% of the tax. And they’ll fight you till the bitter end to convince everybody otherwise.

Fuel tax only pays 25% of the cost of roads.

Later on the top 1% will start to extract all wealth from the 1-10% class. Then the 0.1% will do the same. Concentration of wealth will continue.

These drivers are their own business and they’re just maximizing revenue according to market incentives, just like any other business. So Pizza Hut has enshittified themselves. Well done. I guess it looked a lot better in the excel sheet and presentation.

That’s a good way to start a general strike in the country.

Yeah, they really miss the times when people had fistfights in parliament

It’s not because they want to change, but because droughts, diseases, cost of fertilizer and the like will force them to look for other cheaper ways to produce meat or they’ll have to go vegan.

The cyberpunk name is scop: single celled organing protein. Real meat is there only for the rich.

So AI is pretty useless

Sure.

figuring out what we should do with all the computational power and potential labour

The first priority should always be figuring out a way to produce very cheap and healthy food, housing and clothing for everybody.

It’s just as valid for any AI lol. Anything out didn’t quite fit the training data it gets stuck lol. In robotics that’s a huge issue because there isn’t much training data lol

No, the tech ran into diminishing returns. That’s been studied. In the end you’re adding another datacenter just to get 1% better output.

Everytime someone says to a worker in a factory “figure it out” it involves creativity in some way.

It’s never aliens.

Yeah, we were all sitting in the office with headphones to isolate from the office noise and distractions so we could concentrate and getting work done.
