Everyone knows the winning move is gambling instead of investing. :emoji_smile:

I live where booze, pot, prostitution, and gambling are legal and I do none of it.
I was killing time one evening when we were waiting for my in-laws to meet us for dinner and I put $1 in a video poker machine. I doubled it and took it out. My wife gave me shit about it so I put my now $2 in and won $8. Cashed out then. No rush from gambling and I work too hard to give money away. Hell I even put a pic of my 'big winnings' on FB.

Just a joke. I don't drink. I am retired at 55 besides health problems I would be retired now anyway. Mostly due to gambling, not the kind sitting in a casino. Buying stuff that can have zero value for some time or none at all forever. Then having it pay off largely. A lot of stuff is gambling without being the tradition sense of betting on a card game or sports game and such. The most I've ever gambled in a traditional sense is maybe $10.

Of the opnion some small business operations are gambling in a way, not tons of people doing research and investors to pump money in. But a single person gambling their idea may work.

while its not exactly lizard people own the world kinda conspiracy, there does seem to be a general hard push by big companies - google, microsoft, nvidia, amazon, etc - to get people to only use phones and cloud based compute, so they control every aspect of your digital life. driving people away from high compute devices to dumb screens has a lot of advantages for evil tech assholes, and lets them insert themselves in every step that can't easily be circumvented anymore. it helps governments too so they have no incentive to investigate.

younger people have been brought up this way too, so they don't see anything wrong with giving up personal info, letting random companies know all their info, being served ads everywhere, making everything a sub service, not owning anything, etc.

I don't think you need a more sinister explanation here than 'money'. Why sell someone something when you can rent them something indefinitely instead ?

Lot of shit with subs now. I was looking for a program to control fan speed and LEDs in a computer. One of them the LED part was free but the fan control was a monthly sub. Umm no.

"AI is about to die" simply because of ChatGPT is a stupid take. Also, I'd bet more that Google's new AI compression has more to do with dying RAM prices than ChatGPT. I've never had a Twitter / X account but it seems whenever people post these hot takes from them they are always shit. Makes me wonder why people still go to the site.
