Fair point, Joby doesn’t seem as much of a scam.

mom and pop hemp shops.

I don’t agree with the bill, but the commercial space is entirely occupied by overseas distributors with a dash of trust fund tools who get to larp as “entrepreneurs” because it’s impossible to screw the business model up if you have half a million to blow on marketing. The only real victims here are the end-consumers


Edit - I’m obviously neglecting the retailer side, which does include “mom and pop shops” as it were. Even still, having a hard time conjuring a sympathetic image there.

Ghost is a pretty sick band tho tbh

AI will certainly change how things are done in the long-run, but people are confusing that with the short-run economy (let’s say the next 15 years). Strictly going by objective info, 1) most polled businesses have opined that it isn’t significantly helpful, 2) overall consumer usage has reached what is at least a local peak and is declining (again, this could be a local peak but it’s worth noting along other points), and 3) there is simply no way to evaluate the circular economy involving OpenAI, Nvidia, etc. without one conclusion being that there is a staggering deficit in commercial sales & application (not getting into the whole “bubble” thing). And don’t get me started on the fact that the data centers required for any actual commercial impact are exponentially worse for the environment than the entirety of the fossil fuel industry.

What we’re dealing with presently is a very macabre theatre production. The only people spouting off shite like this are pencil-necks desperately trying to sell their (or their stock in) some BS “ai-powered parking app” or what-have-you.

So chill out with these daily threads. Half of the personal anecdotes posted are obviously fabricated btw.

He’s always kinda made me depressed. Clearly wanted to be an announcer. Wasn’t likeable enough or a good enough communicator to break into that, so then went the espn day time commentator route. Didn’t know enough about his own sport to hang his hat on regular reporting, so resorted to the social commentary angle. But it’s not like he even understands that very well, like he never has a single cogent thing to say about anything from a social standpoint, so he resorts to saying the most controversial thing he can while camping out under the protection of a black man ostensibly commenting on race in sports. So somehow he finds himself here literally criticizing RGIII for being married to a white woman.

Makes a lot of money, but jeez I just kinda feel bad for him, what a weird way to live. Also makes me feel bad for the people who look up to him, as though any of his schtick is done in earnest.

Given the obvious subtext to this comment, just stepping in remind that Shedeur Sanders lost every meaningful game in college, and was less “dominant” than Shough by any meaningful metric

Yeah the Belichik hire feels a lot like the Herm Edwards ASU hire (despite the obvious disparity in NFL success).
