TSMC’s leadership dismissed Altman as a “podcasting bro” and scoffed at his proposed $7 trillion plan to build 36 new chip manufacturing plants and AI data centers.

This is how we get Terminators in this timeline?!

Trust me, I’m a tech bro.

Ha ha! Fuck you Elon. Way to make your shitty platform irrelevant faster.

Tesla opted not to use LIDAR as part of its sensor package and instead relies on cameras which are not enough to determine accurate location data for other cars/trains etc.

This is what you get when billionaires cheap out on their products.

Stable genius at work.

I didn’t ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter. I don’t think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings. After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months… and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell.

You think you’ve got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don’t try to answer that. I’m fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don’t know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

The enshitification continues.

Using C,M,Y in addition to black makes “rich black” in printing applications. Without the K or black component the best you can do is a dark brown.

You don’t need to use additional colors other than K for black, but they do make it a deeper more rick black.

Really only applies when you are printing photographs or high quality images. For text, its a rip off the uses more ink.

This is why they won’t let you print black and white without cyan or yellow!?

Yea I am aware. My point is that an analog system doesn’t have network outages unless the physical copper wires are all down.

Digital systems are much more fragile.

The whole point of having a landline was that it worked when the power was out.

Aliens!

Do you even know how to format a 3.5” floppy?

Nobody saw this coming… /s

They lost this race to Japanese car manufacturers like 30 years ago.

Great. More space junk.

In small pieces.

Makes me wanna buy one just to fucking destroy it put it in the fucking crusher and strap dynamite to it.

When will it be worth zero? At a rate of $2 billion per month, 10 months??

Reminds me of the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness:

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
