  1. If you aren't you're saying all the same arguments that an AI apologist offers. You keep going back to the fallacy of it being a useful bubble - none of this hardware is long-term viable. The reality is there's been billions, if not trillions, of debt taken out to fund these data center build outs. The majority of that spending has been to buy nvidia chips. There's gigawatts of unused nvidia chips sitting around because they can't build out the data centers because of how unique and specialized they are to run genAI workloads. Each rack takes 600KW of power to run, is liquid cooled, and requires specialized network infrastructure to properly operationalize. And for all that effort, they aren't making ANY profit or net positive revenue. Each query they service costs more than they charge for it.
  2. There's people who get so far down a wrong line of thinking that they let it take over everything in their brains, for fear of admitting they were wrong. Your dad is unfortunately one of them it sounds like. He doesn't want to admit that he wrongly trusted a fascist, and so he's lying to himself to soften the blow to his ego. There's lots of people like that these days.
  3. That's an outright act of war to blockcade a country. Black and white, that's definitionally an act of war
  4. This is a hilarious fabrication that is so often repeated as a grievance. What an absurd equivocation: the federal government punishing speech it didn't like, versus a message board telling someone they're repeating lies? Where's the neg into Bolivia? Where's the trail of abandoned accounts? It's just GRUhorn derailing and the performative victims proclaiming how unfair they're treated. Tell me you've never faced a bully without telling me. You can't ignore them into submission or just give them what they want and hope they go away. It really is funny how you're mad at the """CR""" for the derail by a troll sock account. If anything, you should be mad at the mods for reclassifying trolling as "just doing a bit".
  5. The density and power consumption of these things is unreal. 600 kilowatts through a single server rack is mind boggling, and then when you throw in closed loop cooling and heat pumps to move all that heat away from the chips... It's insane how much power is being burned on these things that don't actually make a profit
  6. I've been "encountered" by border patrol a few times going to/from and on my wife's family's ranch down near Presido. Once was on foot while hiking on our land - he looked at our boots and made note and kept on doing his thing. Another was driving to the ranch, and we got stopped by BP because they didn't recognize my car and wanted to ask why we were in the area. Have more BP, get more encounters. That's just how their job works. It's funny to see GRUhorn or whichever troll sock it is come in and so successfully stoke the false victimhood of """unfair thought policing""". Must be nice to never have to change your playbook
  7. glass fiber laid in the ground is not vendor-specific hardware that has a three to five year operational span, which is what the majority of AI capex expendatures have been on. Not on datacenter capacity, not on power generation or delivery, not on reusable infrastructure. Not like the other bubbles that you and AI apologists keep going back to lol. 60% of overall "AI" CapEx spend has been on hardware that has a lifespan shorter than my wife's last iPhone. That is going to leave a smoking crater in the books.
  8. Not lied to, but both rather https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-bubble-ai-debt-credit-big-tech-bonds-borrowing-2025-11 Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have issued around $100 billion of bonds year-to-date, according to a recent Bank of America analysis, more than double the amount the same firms raised in the bond market last year.
  9. It is. The businesses investors need their money back, so they must pump your aquifers. Don't be a commie, just bend over for the corporate fucking
  10. Oh boy I've always wanted to live through the AI debt bubble popping while in a period of stagflation
  11. Get ready for that to be even worse with AI """summaries""" that make shit up
  12. Even the musical guest sucked ass this week. I get that she's got the hot gossip album but holy hell I've seen better karaoke performances
  13. But he HAS successfully derailed the focus on Trump's pedophilia and child sexual abuse. Great job, ya fucking death panelist.
  14. This season of South Park is pretty on point on this subject. Jesus goes full Christian and hits rock bottom
  15. The trump administration makes the most progress whenever people make the presumption of regularity. It gives MAGA the constructive cognitive dissonance to reflexively believe any news is just librul bias and TDS and reject their lying eyes. Then in the meantime they operate like a bunch of slapdick idiots and it all gets handwaved away with a whatabout or facile #bothsides
  16. https://apnews.com/article/brown-university-shooting-suspect-search-1da03b12b2eac2b530172667d3df30c4?utm_source=onesignal&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=2025-12-14-Breaking+News Top men are on it. Top. Men. Edit: if anyone is unaware, this dip shit spiked the football yesterday on all the hard work the FBI had done to catch the person they let go. Which is becoming something of a trend for Ka$h's FBI
  17. Righteous Gemstones really had its finger on the pulse, IMO
  18. Ahmed al Ahmed is a hero, what a brave and selfless act to go disarm an active shooter with nothing but your giant brass balls https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/hero-bystander-tackles-bondi-beach-shooter/news-story/fc37324c807ffba71e212cd5c6915a18
  19. It's a weird #bothsides to equivocate maga with Bernie Sanders and his movement, but it's fun to see AnimalTobacco take the mask off every now and then
  20. Bro hysterics like this on a Saturday morning are wild lol. Fox must really be hitting their Epstein counter coverage HARD
  21. So trump killing the Republican border bill in 2023/4 is bidens fault? The legislation that the republicans had been fighting for until they got it, and then threw away like toddlers? You need to calm down, grandpa. Eat some applesauce, it'll help your crazy pills go down better
  22. https://www.wsj.com/economy/jobs/fed-chair-jerome-powell-says-u-s-may-be-drastically-overstating-jobs-numbers-741c635d?st=QN8TWY&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink Powell said that Fed staffers believe that federal data could be overestimating job creation by up to 60,000 jobs a month. Given that figures published so far show that the economy has added about 40,000 jobs a month since April, the real number could be something more like a loss of 20,000 jobs a month, Powell said. “We think there’s an overstatement in these numbers,” Powell said in a press conference following the central bank’s two-day policy meeting.
  23. Well it's a good thing the trump administration has a good record of faithfully following court orders then
