Life becomes very boring and uninteresting when your only goal in life is to “make more fucking money” 💰 Fuck 🤬 Fuck this Corporatocracy we live in 🤦♂️
@eldersnake@we.loveprivacy.club
Steps to world domination:
- “Invent” “AI” (by using other people’s data).
- Get people hyped about it and ideally hooked on it.
- Only provide it as a cloud service. But hey, if you want to, you can run it locally!
- Buy all hardware available on the market, so that nobody but you can build more systems.
- All PCs of consumers and competitors are too weak now and can’t be upgraded anymore.
- Everybody depends on your cloud service! Win!
All of that is possible because corporations don’t have a “conscience” in capitalism. Nobody forces the RAM manufacturers to sell all their stuff to just one or two buyers, but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m pretty sure I know a bunch of people who love to blow up their money. :-(
Holy shit! :-O At least, the walls didn’t shake here. But we also had some very loud explosions, maybe they were far enough away. :-? Of course, the bangs continued last night.

Twenty days later, he returned, and jokingly they asked him for the storage, and money spent on farewell party back. I heard, from a close source, that he gave them his middle finger, but don’t quote me on that. 😂😂😂

Twice or three times the money as before sounds a bit suspicious to me. Of course, I could be wrong, but I always was under the impression, that your last jobs weren’t all that badly salaried. If the new offer is really paid this highly, it might be a shit job. For me, money isn’t everything, I’d rather opt for a lower income where the job is fun than hating to go to work every day. But if the new job ticks all boxes, go for it. :-)

The A.I. Prompt That Could End the World
Stephen Witt, Contributing Writer - The New York Times
Stephan: As I have watched the AI technology develop what has concerned me is whether this technology is going to be advanced to foster wellbeing for humanity, or just to ,make more money for a small group of oligarchs. If the motivating impulse is the later I think humans are in real trouble. Stephen Witt, author of The Thinking Machine seems to agree.
. Recently they added a little gold star denoting “real ID” compliance, and we had to pay $10 to get the old one replaced—out of the regular renew “schedule”.
In here it is all about control, and money.
@dce@hashnix.club Ooops 😅 Hope you still have enough money for the basics 🤗 I’m doing okay though!
Why do I care about this?
- The load will become a problem at some point.
- These crawlers and the current “AI” in general are breaking the rules. I am supposed to be paying for every little thing, I get sued for “piracy”. But apparently, these rules only apply to me. If I had more money, I could break them. Fuck that.
- I simply don’t want it. Period.

Re. 1c97c : We have now [1913 and onwards] a situation in which U.S. citizens have been hoodwinked into accepting paper money which is owned by foreign corporations. More recently, U.S. citizens are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked into accepting bitcoin which is owned by foreign corporations. In both instances, it’s the foreign ownership which is the problem. I’ll want to review my notes on this, - but that’s what I remember just now.
If I understand right, no paper money or bitcoin is allowed in USA.
June 21st, 1789 - The Constitution for the United States of America is ratified, with New Hampshire becoming the ninth state to ratify. Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution contain provisions which clearly prohibit the federal government and the states from granting titles: “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign State. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex postfacto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.” However, no penalty for violating the Article is specified.

Since Fastly acquired and recently shut down glitch.com, some of my ancient webapps are no longer available, nor do I have any plans to make them available again - all had either zero, or very few monthly visits, used outdated libraries and would be a waste of money, to continue hosting and updating elsewhere.
All art archives remain unaffected and all projects shut down before 2025, were already permanently deleted, but if there’s someone out there, still relying on the recently discontinued projects, somehow - you can reach out and request their source code.
These requests will only be honoured, until the end of this year, when we plan to permanently delete, all of this data (both webapps and files only hosted on Amazons CDN).

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That’s what I thought as well, sounds way too expensive to me. But I have no idea what the prices are over here. Probably also astronomical. Campers sit around most of the time, one really would need to use them a lot to justify spending so much money on them.
