His tweet said he’s “already forgetting how much hard work was done”…. by humans! Implying that the AI is doing all the hard work now.

I mean I can see how that draws ire. His contribution doesn’t really line up with his benefits. This project started as an open source, with a non profit running it. Now it’s one of the biggest private companies in the world and threatening to replace a lot of jobs. So if you look at the context, he’s already forgetting how much hard work he stole to make himself obscenely rich and powerful!

Didn’t he swindle an open source project that was managed by a non profit into a company that only benefits himself? I love how all the rich and powerful are just swindlers. It appears they have no bootstraps.

Great reason to business with Amazon. Armor plates and carrier. Gun mods. These are real expressions of political will. Enjoy your boycott. Glad you’re privileged enough to have money and options on places to purchase consumer goods. Super happy for you. Very righteous.

Now that we have a dictator I find it hilarious you’re trying to do the steps from before we have a dictator. It’s too late for boycotts and protests and voting. You missed your chance for that 10 years ago. Amazon’s got cheap body armor.

Sorry bub I’ve got plants to feed. Don’t worry my neighbor is going to genocide us no matter where we buy water filters from.

Amazon is cheaper than eBay on every item I’ve looked at in the last 6 months. eBay has robbed me a few times in the last 6 months. What a wild ass suggestion.

eBay’s just as fucking bad? They monopolized your post office pricing and fix prices on their market place, they manipulate visibility and charge more for promotions. It’s the same scam with a different name lmao

I didn’t invest because I always thought they would get broken up as a monopoly.

I mean what I said. I also buy water filters from Amazon because I suck water straight from the ground. Some times the water is yellow and needs to be filtered.

I think personal safety is more important that virtue signaling. You should have used your political power to regulate it before it became a critical service in communities. I hate Amazon, yet I am dependent on it. I come from the side of nuance. You want to handle Amazon you monopoly bust it. Boycotting won’t help.

How much money do you think the median American takes home these days with cost of living and suppressed wages? -2000 in credit card debt once the budget gets tallied?

The Chinaman is not the issue dude. And please Asian American is the preferred nomenclature

Think about this, we made major advancements politically and culturally during 2006-2016, especially in regards to LGBTQ rights and then the voters turn Trans people into a single issue ticket and vote for trump 12 years in a row. They turned you into a woke boogie man and campaign against you specifically and now we live in a fucking Nazi hell hole.

Na that’s a pretty common reaction to the SWJ language policing. Most oppressed minorities want their equal rights; not a mob or privileged kids virtue signaling and alienating them further 🌈

I would say “the Chinese invented many things in the last two millennia.” And “China is constantly posturing against Taiwan” to separate the people from their government. “The Chinese” doesn’t have to be racist it can just include all the people of the region across all times. It can be a bit ignorant but doesn’t flag maliciousness

Thank you! I’m working on ditching adobe and apple currently. one day I’ll be a real linux boi. I have hard drive space just no time to do the transfers and file hunting. If I wasn’t over worked, underpaid and exhausted I would have used a better example. An ASML lithography machine costs 400 Million dollars. So idk how anyone is going to produce chips and be worth less than a billion dollars. OP example needs better numbers.

I was in a world before enshitification I vividly remember the hopes of the 1990s. Watching hand held cameras get into the hands of the masses, expanding art and culture of the time. Watching that turn into YouTube and regular people getting paid to entertain regular people. I remember all the dead promises friend. Supply chains are too complicated to place an arbitrary market cap of 1 billion dollars. it doesn’t make sense when companies now serve billions of people. I’m not going to be able to open up a small business of producing iPhones. That requires an insane amount of resources that you probably cannot fathom if you think a billion dollars is a reasonable market cap. I just wanted to point out that a lot of things you enjoy wouldn’t exist in this imagined rule. So id love to hear how you reorder the global economy and supply chains under a “1 billion dollar company max valuation” How do you get things like iPhones and server farms that hold a billion peoples data?

mmmm the touch of money and privilege really numbs the senses.

If you’re a great artist who’s work does not exist in a commercial space (gallery or Facebook platform or website or whatever) and it gets thrown in a dump when you die, did it express anything at all?

holy cow haunted typewriter is punching way above its weight class. Phenomenal.

they get eaten by a hungry mob of people while hiding in a bunker?

clutches pearls “Muh factornios!!!”

Financial engineering, and they are one of the biggest producers of computer hardware for a long time. There’s more business and personal consumers than ever. Everyone’s getting online now, and the AI purchasing frenzy is helping a lot.

to be fair amazon has revenues of 700 billion a year. apple is like 400. You can tax the profits down to nothing but like, we can’t all get iPhones if apple is worth 1billion. im not even sure if they can make an iPhone with 1 billion

Technically if you took out a bunch of bad loans the government would be bailing out the banks. Like 2008. Let’s ride!
