I will flip your question. All this AI none sense has made me value people more.

I value human musicians with passion and new interesting sounds; I value human visual artists and what they add to our graphical landscape I value journalists and just people putting themselves out there to share their honest opinion in a world so overtaken by propaganda and information wars; I value people who are trying to learn and teach new things, that want to do research and make sense of the world. And I value disagreeing and getting mad at people and saying dumb shit and doing dumb shit and realizing i have areas where i need to work on and improve myself. I value humans, and i wont waste my time on AI or LLM’s

I don’t really care if I’m valued, and i don’t care about systems of values, i barely have time to make and experience.

Demolish all this useless shit to the ground.

Burn all this useless crap down

Grown men getting extremely worked up about cartoons or woman in videogames.

Some of my favorites of the last few years have been:

“The expanse”; British series “Utopia”; “Inside No. 9” ; “Common Side effects”; “Fleabag”

I’m not a huge Anime buff; but lately I’ve been finding a lot of anime i really like:

“Golden Kamui”, “Odd Taxi”, “Ranking of kings”, “Mononoke”, “Dorohedoro” and “Kaji”

In other news the sky is blue, enjoy your hollowed out economy.

My sister works in tech and it’s concerning to me how much she believes all the hype from tech startups. Sometimes i wonder if she is serious and sometimes it is painfully obvious she is.

I remember one time she urging me to use this app that ‘translated cat meows.’ the concept sounded just silly to me but I induldged her by recording and “translating” the meows of her cat that i had been taking care of for a couple of years. The interpreted cat meows according to the app revealed that the cat supposedly loves me, and i’ m her favorite and she is sad when i am not around. (which is standard cat behavior if you treat them well and especially for this cat that is very caring and social.

My sister reacted like she was jealous, not only believing everything the app translated but also feeling like i displaced her as her cat’s favorite human. The whole experience was surreal.

I get recommendations pushing towards conservative media in you tube all the time and i have my recommendations off. It’s hilarious to be looking for writing advice and getting some woman giving thinly veiled fascism in her writing channel.

That would be awesome thank you

But i feel it’s not a matter of the Industry adapting into an entirely different ecosystem. As in, i don’t think that China will be taking over the computer industry. I feel it will be more of an issue of giving American companies and their anti-consumer practices something they haven’t had during their lifetimes: Real competition. I feel a lot of attitudes could change once they are in an ecosystem where they don’t have the luxury of monopolies and closed environments and i feel we are long overdue for having new players in this difficult field. It’s not about being a China shill either but in the end competition is good for the consumer. It’s concerning that all American tech industries are in bed with each other and also in bed with a government bent in global control and totalitarian surveillance. I don’t think Chinese manufacturers could be exempt from these dangers but at least it will give consumers the possibilities to pick their poison.

Also, GPU and graphics standards have changed in less than decades. We can still play old games in new software. AAA Developer models are clearly dying and new standards for Indie and AA development are emerging. Some of the hottest games this year could be defined as made by indie studios. So instead of hitting a wall i feel gaming in general could be moving into a new paradigm and i sure as hell wish that paradigm is not cloud computing.

I am not a dedicated gamer. I am from south America and I am playing Expedition 33 with full graphics on a 10 year old, entry range GPU on an old AMD CPU with 32 gigs of DDR 4 memory. And I’m having fun! And this rig works great for my job with a variety of open sourced and pirated software. I don’t need the latest and the greatest. I just need something that gives me results at an affordable price. Lets say that for the next 5 years that might be the new standard as the industry self corrects.

There is already a lot of good Chinese DDR 5 memory on the market and it’s a matter of time before Chinese GPU’s and CPU’s proliferate. I remember people in the west global north were sceptic about the viability of Chinese electric cars ever existing just 5 years ago; Elon even laughed at the possibility. Tables turn fast when you have industrial capacity and central planning.

The rest of the world will be fine.

Not a problem for me; I’m not in America, I own a Huawei phone and a Huion Tablet.

Sorry to break it to you bud; But America has a Plutocracy problem; It’s not a question of Putin running the show, but the American legal system being unable to persecute crimes and corruption if it happens to be billionaires. So in essence the system is compromised.

I’m not American so I ain’t part of your non-democracy.

AMERICAN manufacturers, just waint until the Chinese industries swoop in to fill the gap. I seriously feel America just wants to kneecap itself.

Governments also do this, push wikipedia edits that favor their propaganda. Now i know why my teachers urged me to research from library books instead.

Trump is a symptom of the corruption in the american system. The kind of corruption that makes it impossible for governments to ban the american social media platforms that sexualize the pictures of children. Or the kind of corruption that has normalized US intervention in Latin American governments. When trump is gone you guys will have president musk, or president peter thiel, because your system is unable to punish the pedophiles, the criminal, the warmongering or the corrupt, if punishing them might affect the stock markets.

It gets worse; For practical purposes. musk, thiel and their cronies are already in power. Trump is an empty figurehead to take attention away from the fact that they are amassing more and more power while the average american will have to settle with being their slave, their soldier or their blood bag.
