One of my best friends is from Brantford, huge hockey nut and a big Gretzky fan and man this must sting her so bad and it’s understandable. Gotta be so frustrating.

As one of the “Lemieux is the GOAT” crowd… LOL

A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Ms has different releases for Europe due to legal requirements

This is why you have no ads

So the colea notes is in the old world DB was how it was setup. You paid company a set amt of money and they set you up with x dollars a month for the rest of your life.

Fine when boomers are a massive cohort propping it up via sheer volume alone with people dying younger.

We started living longer and surprise future cohorts are not massive like the boomers. That means the model of DB is not economically feasible. Around the world from left and right countries you are seeing this. Public pensions are being rewritten and people are rightly angry but you cannot sustain the model.

This is why the collective move to DC specifically when it comes to newer employees. What you get is tied to what you put in.

Granted my parents are poor and have no pension but no, I don’t want their pension i didn’t earn it.

If you meant having similar structure pensions as in defined benefit vs. defined contribution you’re damn right but they’re not fucking sustainable and that’s why we are in such a mess. To make our parents or grandparents pensions sustainable requires a hell of a lot more investment in them and/or shareholder greed to fuck off and companies re-prioritize their wealth accordingly.

Both of those solutions are a big LOL.

I haven’t seen it mentioned and granted I’ve not played it but I’ve watched both be played and Blasphemy 1 and 2 seems really, really good.

Of course! I’m GenX and I use it at work and home as well for a variety of purposes but do I **need ** it? Does anyone **need ** it?

I was taking my kids to the dentist yesterday and was listening to the radio with them.

It’s anecdotal and a small sample size but the only people talking about AI are journalists and money men.

I work in IT and the consensus is it is a valuable tool but it really isn’t taking anyone’s job.

For my kids and those their age and younger (15) the consensus is AI can fuck off and it’s responsible for polluting their social media with crap.

Tl;Dr - the only people pushing AI are the money men and the policy makers. No one wants this.

Anecdotal but my ignorant ass has had conversations with my friends that “so god if I find out my son is gay I will love him but please for the love of God let him pitch.”

I’m thankfully OoL enough but I guarantee there are some AI backed crypto out there which is so deliciously awesome given the double down on smoke and mirrors.

Seriously the stock market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

People are idiots.

Is there a consensus there’s an AI bubble? Sure?

Can anyone predict what will happen? LOfuckingL

I’m in the socialist hellhole Canada and my day is spent chasing away genderfluid canvassers trying to convert me and my kids to they/them and then when my kids get to school they’re forced to have group sex led by cross dressers!

/s and really sad the state of the world I have to put that

LOL

Damn… I’m apparently way OOTL. All I knew was that Notch is a shitheel

I’ll give it a look thnx

MultiMC in the house!

Boofing them

I will laugh so fucking hard if America bends over while that happens. To be clear I bet they will but I hope I’m wrong and they finally grow a spine.

And it will never not be funny

Nah I’m sure this will get finished
