shit, thanks to the orange site and tech hypercapitalism in general, VC in the investing sense is an incredibly commonly-used term everywhere in the industry. so between them pretending your site won’t load and flip-flopping between being a tech investing expert and someone who apparently doesn’t know fuck about shit… well, you know what I’m thinking
also, big shoutout to @Soyweiser@awful.systems for the legitimately excellent welcome material, and I’m so sorry (but not particularly surprised) this is the response it got. please hang onto the meat of that post for the future; it’s very likely to come in handy in case we have visitors who are, ah, slightly less dedicated to inhaling their own vapors
EDIT: Alright, well this community was a mistake…
don’t let the fucking door hit you on the way out
I can’t believe we wasted our time being mildly nice to this fucker
The silly stock prices are bets on AI going up forever. But bubbles pop — and the shine has been coming off AI. We estimated that the present AI hype would have two years of desperate venture capital funding — but AI industry peons we spoke to earlier this year gave the VC money only until about the end of 2024.
god that’s not even a particularly long bubble, though I feel like the short expected duration of this one goes hand in hand with how much non-tech people hate AI now — it took a few years of well-thought-out criticism for crypto to go from almost universally hyped to the shit you warn your grandma to not waste money on
while I am rooting for it to happen, it feels like the tech industry’s earned a particularly hard crash this time, and it’s the nature of the fucked up beast that it’ll impact tech workers like you and me more than it’ll ever affect Huang or Altman or anyone else responsible for it. hopefully we can all brace appropriately for a thoroughly miserable time.
As of now, having a Nitro subscription does not exempt users from seeing ads in the client.
wait what’s the fucking point of nitro again? is it seriously just the ability to use more annoying reactions and upload slightly larger attachments?
I ask, having instantly closed the nitro ads discord regularly pushes to my client cause the feature list looks roundly annoying and irrelevant to how I use the app (open source project docs that only exist in this completely inappropriate medium, DMs, and an annual game of Quake)
this is explored in Harry Potter and The Methods of Hamburgling, a 10,000 chapter Harry Potter / McDonaldland crossover fiction
so you might be 100% confident I won’t touch you with a stick that once touched poop
however, have you considered that the poop stick is approaching and you’ve done nothing to dodge it?
really makes you think
I wouldn’t even call y’all late; public opinion towards AI is just starting to turn from optimism to mockery, so this feels like the perfect opportunity to normalize sneering in a way that’s easier for folks without context to consume than SneerClub or TechTakes.
How do you deal with ADHD overload? Everyone knows that one: you PILE MORE SHIT ON TOP
how dare you simulate my behavior to this degree of accuracy
but seriously I’m excited as fuck for this! I’ve been hoping you and Amy would take this on forever, and it’s finally happening!
if available, I highly recommend a steroid shot from a clinic or allergist for hay fever. the muscle at the injection site will hard lock for a good 5-10 minutes like a Windows PC rolling back an update, but 10 minutes after that your allergies will go away for the rest of the season like actual fucking magic
WELCOME TO FEDI WHO KNOWS HOW THE HELL ANY OF THIS WORKS
I’m gonna get this tattooed on my knuckles. yes, all of it
I suspect what’s going on is discuss.tchncs.de probably updated lemmy to the new stable version? I’ve seen a couple of things federate that didn’t before, now that the new version is out
the confusing thing is, we’re not on the new stable version yet
so just to confirm: you’re a tech investing expert who posts on Lemmy but doesn’t know about archive links or extremely common tech investing acronyms? is that correct?
