    Haha, yeah, that's what everyone quotes when they post that chart. For 9 years, BTC has been either first or last.

    Zuck is still all in on his idea of metaverse. Watch the recent Lex Freidman interview inside the metaverse. They did cut a large number of positions for whatever the Wall Street version of virtue signaling is, but they're quietly still hiring.

    Yeah, this seems obvious. The money I don't owe the government on April 15th has a whole extra year to make me more money before I have to give it to them. Then again, tons of people let the government keep 1000s of dollars of their money all year, while carrying a similar (or more) amount of...

    If you didn't think people were going to take profits from that Santa rally as soon as the tax year rolled over, I dunno what you were smoking. Honestly it's held up much higher than I expected, except for my fucking INTC that I was 1 click from selling on the 29th. :(

    If we're gonna have one, it's gotta start somewhere. Jihad early and often. I'm gonna start another thread, but my basic thesis is that most of the shit that's come out of these SF weirdos has made life worse. Tech that has actually improved my life since the 90s: Having a map and the...

    Not alt-right but definitely clownpilled and arguably always blackpilled. And SF 'effective altruist' tech weirdos are the new 'The Jews.' We don't need another 'The Jews' controlling everything, we've already got 'The Jews.'

    There's a lot of speculation that this would also happen with crypto ETFs.

    Yes. If you haven't been paying attention the past 15 years or so, this is all humanity listens to anymore. Next, it'll be a fancy mass surveillance machine, then a fancy thought manipulation machine. This technology produces no new ideas. It can only be used for two things: Fake and/or Gay.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    This whole game is an homage to 'the future' as envisioned in the 80s. It's so meta and so perfect.

    The fact that it's so blatantly ripping off Death Stranding's and Stranger Things' aesthetics is so fucking funny to me.

    This wasn't a speedrun, it was an attempt to reach a kill screen, the screen at which a game crashes due to usually some memory overflow due to some variable being too high. The only way to reach a level or score or whatever this high is to play extremely well to survive long enough to reach...

    A lot of equities have traded sideways since Jan 2021 and people have still made money off trading them.

    That is the worst intro to an advertisement I've ever seen. They should have jumped past the weird dude and weirder girl to the even weirder girl.

    Why are you okay with humanity's future being stolen by hyperwoke SF polyamorous CP aficionados? Shouldn't this be everything you people are against? I don't fucking understand you people. I haven't seen so many people arguing for their own enslavement since the Bolsheviks. So you're...

    I'm critiquing a current product, that they are charging money for, that is plagiarizing other people's work and passing it off as their own. Yes, it is possible to train these models without doing that. Adobe has proven you can do that rather easily. OpenAI and Midjourney chose to steal...

    Every generation does this, tries to make some metaphor to the technology of the time. It's always hilariously incomplete. Given all the evidence, Occam's Razor leads to one conclusion: they've built an extremely expensive plagiarism engine. The 'one clever trick' is that it feeds our own...

    There's some slight artifacting on fences but everything else got patched. The input lag went away with the correct FPS cap and v-sync settings (off ingame, on in drivers.) Low-latency mode set to Ultra in drivers, on in-game.

    So, a bunch of hyperwoke polyamorous SF weirdos stole everyone's art and writing, mixed in some of that special Podesta Pizza Sauce, put it all in a giant GPU-powered blender, threw up a barebones UI to get useful results back out of it, and people here are still gonna defend it because they...
