Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
AI is best suited for tasks where "good enough is good enough". Low-stakes small tasks like changing column headers in a CSV to be camel case instead of lower case, or building a small data scraper method for a web crawler, etc etc. But it's best thought of as another tool in the toolbox, not as THE tool in the box.

Trump’s America
it's a soviet control and now putinist tactic, the "Firehose of Falsehoods" (here's some reading from RAND describing it if you care) is extremely effective in the GOP and with MAGA voters. If you flood the zone with bullshit, it's enough of a smokescreen to hide the rest of your malfeasance and give you cover for your true acts that are extremely antisocial

ChatGPT AI Tool— We all work for robots now
DAE #bothsides?? JFC this plus your other posts in this thread have been whatever the opposite of "illuminating" is. You're falsely labeling reasoned and rational analysis of the unsustainable economics as "AI doomers" and asserting that "nobody really understands this" when that's only true among your MBA peers. There's not a huge groundswell of AI support, there's merely a monopsony in which openAI is (commited to) buying so many of NVDA's chips that it's distorting the market and causing massive inflation in other market segments. Power prices are through the roof, water resources are running dry, and companies like OpenAI, Cursor, Anthropic, et al are missing their profit targets by orders of magnetude. Stop handwaving so much and acting like it's unknowable. It's perfectly knowable just less so when you've got your head buried in the sand, DonkeyCigars.

lmfao CZ got a fucking pardon https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-pardons-convicted-binance-founder-zhao-white-house-says-2025-10-23/ U.S. authorities said in 2023 that Binance had failed to report suspicious transactions with organizations including Hamas and al Qaeda and with websites dedicated to selling child sexual abuse materials. Zhao, a citizen of Canada who was born in China, personally paid a $50 million fine and served nearly four months in prison last year after pleading guilty to the same charge as his company. However, he kept his Binance stake, while one of his appointees was made chief executive. "I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility," Zhao said when he stepped down. The full and unconditional pardon could pave the way for him to return to the business he co-founded in 2017. It may also offer the chance for Binance to expand in the United States as the crypto industry booms under the Trump administration. ... Binance itself this year offered support to one of the Trump family's crypto ventures, World Liberty Financial. In May, Binance accepted World Liberty's USD1 stablecoin as payment for a $2 billion investment in the exchange by Abu Dhabi investment firm MGX. Binance's decision to accept USD1, which was launched only in March, provided a big boost to the World Liberty venture, and still accounts for most of the USD1 in circulation.

AWS borked
The full RCA got posted https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/ TLDR - a DNS update with a race condition furked DDB, which it turns out acts as the service discovery mechanism for basically every service in us-east-1. This borked NLB healthchecks, EC2 provisioning (because of no network connectivity), and Lambda and Fargate execution environments (because of no EC2 to host on)

Markets still falling like whoa
You're not allowed to point out the national debt has risen by $2,000,000,000,000 (trillion) since January 2025, or that domestic agriculture and cattle is being bumble fucked by $40,000,000,000 of bailouts for foreign countries. Good thing we have DOGE on the case
