The problem, nicely described by Jeremy as the “Platner paradox”, is that Democrats know they need to appeal to normies by running ordinary-seeming white men. But to be a Democrat for the last 20 years you have had to denounce being a white man. And being willing to humiliate oneself by self-denunciation is selecting for a very weird and disturbed batch of people.
Marx lived his entire adult life as a dependent. The capitalist system funded his "research" through Engels, whose family wealth came from textile factories. The irony cuts deep: capitalism's profits subsidized its most famous critic.
Marx never held a real job. Never met payroll. Never risked capital or faced bankruptcy. He spent decades theorizing about labor value while avoiding actual labor. His insights into production came from library books, not factory floors.
The parasitic intellectual tradition he spawned continues today. Academic Marxists collect taxpayer-funded salaries while denouncing the market system that creates the wealth they consume.
It's time to get rid of these people.
@painterinoil@BreitbartNews data centers dont use very much water, just go look it up. way way way more water is used to grow your food. like 100 - 1000 times more
He doesn't just contradict himself. He flat out denies saying things he's said on his own show and in prior interviews, as if we can't watch the videos ourselves and see what a fraud he is. It's well beyond parody at this point.
@EvanRockford@ChristianHeiens@nyaraVT Fat fuck loser who couldn’t get any chicks and probably poor starts putting on a dress for attention. You’re just an ugly dude and uglie “girl”
This isn't even an exaggeration. The talking points that get you labeled a 'Nazi' today were just vanilla Democrat talking points not even twenty years ago.
So many incredibly ignorant opinions about AI.
So let me break it down to you from the perspective of an Economist.
AI is no different than any other technology. It will have the same effects on the economy that the automobile did, or the fax machine. All AI does, is reduce the real costs to produce outputs with the same inputs. That’s it. It makes information transfer for more efficient (usually that means faster, but also cheaper), such that entrepreneurs (entrepreneurs are the single most important factor in free markets, they are much much much more important than corporations), can create new and better products. Those products help industry leaders make better decisions, because they have faster and cheaper information. Then those decisions percolate through the economy such that the end consumer gets the same thing they did before but it’s cheaper because it required less expensive inputs (those inputs are the outputs from AI further back in time).
So here’s my thoughts on what will happen:
2-5 years of true innovation (we are in year 3), until the bubble bursts. That signals the end of the first cycle of Creative Destruction (Schumpeter), during the bubble bursts, AI replaces low value add tasks (white collar tasks like simple analysis and coding), and those people displaced reskill over 18 months.
Year 5-7, non tech industries actually leverage AI and figure out how to actually use it. This is when the market will bottom after the bubble bursts and people are in the middle of reskilling.
Year 8+ industries now using AI efficiently and real growth starts happening. Robotics take over in healthcare (costs for healthcare will plummet significantly), autonomous transportation starts to really take off (cars, planes, evtol), which saves people even more time. Real wages start exploding as AI matures into every industry and humans do HIGHER value add tasks. Probably around this same time, there will be a major breakthrough in medicine as AI leveraged tools help doctors and researchers create drugs that can cure many diseases. Or there could be a breakthrough in physics where certain rare earths can achieve super conductivity. This is where the world actually becomes much wealthier on a per capita basis. Real GDP goes parabolic, you’re literally living better than any human in all history even if you are at the bottom of the foodchain. AI makes everything so cheap, you don’t need to earn much to afford basic needs. Poverty becomes non existent in countries not in civil war. Food becomes cheaper in real terms, and the creative destruction cycle ends. That’s the new paradigm.
Humans live longer, they have better and cheaper access to transportation, healthcare, and food. Space becomes the next frontier to expand on, and then maybe we take a shot at colonizing the solar system.
If that isn’t a good reason to invest in data centers, and you not convinced, it’s not because what I said is untrue, it’s because you actually don’t want to see a better future for humanity.
@JennX0608@Ivo_Taillefer@Variety by work as a journalist, you mean he read things prepared for him.
Shirley has an iphone and just did the thing, in my book thats journalism
you do not need credentials to film people and ask question lol
