The Trump Economy
Mark to market valuations on revenue returned from the extreme capex expenditures. They haven't realized even ⅒ of their target revenues, and don't have anything close to a sustainable business model to buy time to fix that

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
It's hit and miss, some free apps/games my wife (on iOS) plays look night and day when it's off/on, and others have no effect. Web browsing is better with no exceptions On android it seems to be broadly effective

The Democratic Party
Problem is - even the most milquetoast criticisms of the very real problems in our current system are met with "whell thas cuz yer SOCIALIST!!!". That kind of thinking is playing a game you can't win, because it wasn't designed for you to win. Dems should stop playing appeasement fuck fuck games with the fascists. They aren't earnest criticisms - just a cudgel to rhetorically beat people who aren't in your tribe

I run Adguard on my phone and have enough family licenses (like 9 lifetime licenses for $120) to cover my wife and sister's family too. It works for basically every web based ad, and most apps too.

AWS borked
It seems to be mostly HR and "devices and services" (read: Alexa and Fire devices) employees - not much word of it hitting AWS that I've read/heard

Русский корабль - иди нахуй
/csb one of my late dad's close friends was a wargaming buddy who was an East German armor officer who was deployed into Afghanistan. Dude was missing half a foot and smoked like a chimney, but had some mad strats in Flames of War

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.

ICE activity/raids
Because it's artificially fanning the flames of grievance and using something that is mildly objectionable to justify outright fascism

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

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.

Because productivity gains have ALWAYS benefitted workers and not the oligarchs right?
