2 months agodumb people have always bought crap. just because components are more expensive doesn’t change anything–a savvy computer user is always going to go for pre-built. i’d personally take out a loan before i bought a meta pc even if steep discounts are on the menu.
it also makes me think that all the conspiratorial talk is just talk. maybe all these companies are conspiring to raise prices so they can sell you garbage like this pathetic excuse for a pc.
but that doesn’t fit into the ‘all rich people are geniuses’ narrative. greed doesn’t require intelligence. even someone with an intense hunger and a 50 IQ is gonna try and put their hand into your burger king bag and swipe a fry or two.
how are humans going to progress if you eliminate all the resources for humans to share experience?
imagine 20 years in the future where you no longer have a resource like stack overflow to troubleshoot the latest technology.
where is AI going to steal its answers from?
this seems like a dumbfuck gambit based on hopes and dreams. even if an AI can achieve what they’re hoping, it won’t know everything. they’re banking on AI having the experience and intelligence of billions of humans.
we’re fucked.
