It’s wild that the first generation to do LSD in mass

I want to say hippies were less than 1% of that generation, but for some reason I think it was recorded as 2-3% which would be a gross over-estimate.

But for every hippie you think of sticking daisies in rifles, there was 100 spitting on Black kids for going to the school they were legally required to go to.

It would be like if in 2080 they think we’re all catboys with blue hair and 37 facial piercings.

Sure, those people exist as a fringe demographic, but they’re not the norm.

Bmost hippies had more issues with peers their own age than their parents age, that part of the folk tale gets left out tho, because the people who want us to think they were hippies and “grew out of it” were the ones beating hippies for being different.

All they were ever trying to do was lie to younger generations in the hopes they’d confirm to decades old social norms. Like, it’s weird how many people still don’t understand the boomers just lie about shit instinctively. They grew up in a world filled with lead and are literally incapable of caring about logical inconsistencies. They want younger generations to think they were cool, so they just fucking lied about what they were like as a generation.

If you ever run into a real deal old hippie some day, ask them what the majority of people their age was like back then.

2k is 1440p.

720 doubles to 1080.

1080 doubles to 1140

1140 double to 4k.

Companies all skipped 2k for the most part because all consumers cared about was resolution. That’s why the jump to 4k took so fucking long, for the most part we skipped an entire resolution generation. So even with 4k, all the other stuff wasn’t caught up.

Pretty much the same thing happened with 4g, the telecom corps agreed on a set of requirements to say they’d reached a new generation, but the numbers needed to go up before the tech was ready, so they all agreed to just claim 4g arrived, that’s why there was so many different flavors of 4g.

People really need to understand a lot of what “smart” TVs do is upscale the “4k” signal to something actually resembling real 4k.

Like how some 4k torrents are 3GB, and then a 1080p of the same movie is 20gb.

It’s “worse” resolution, but it looks miles better because it’s upscaling real 1080 to 4k instead of taking existing shitty 4k and trying to make it look better without just juicing the resolution.

So we don’t need 8k.content for 8k.tvs to be an incentive. We need real 4k media, then 8ks TV would show a real improvement.

Boomers economic policy is like if Issac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and came to the conclusion it would always accelerate at the same speed no matter what, even though the ground with the entire ass planet behind it is right fucking there.

Numbers can not constantly go up, it’s just that’s what was happening their whole lives and they can’t accept that their childhoods was a blip and not how things always were and always will be.

They just can’t wrap their heads around it. They have such shit tier empathy they can’t comprehend that they’re an exception.

They get to that level of wealth and power by a compulsive need to one-up each other…

Which means they’re gonna do horrible shit just to be the one who’s done the worst shit.

Let that cycle spin for a couple decades, and shit gets ugly

Yes…

Advertisers want you to pay attention to ads…

Unless OP is a corporation trying to get people to buy things, I don’t see the connection besides the word “attention”.

But I don’t think I’m gonna be able to help you understand that if that didn’t work

And it’s attention that we crave

You.

You crave attention, lots of people don’t

You shouldn’t assume everyone else thinks like you and is built like you, it’s never true and a sign of low empathy.

Fix that and you’ll get more attention and won’t crave it so much.

Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?

What?!

Larry Ellison bought it last week, bad things you’re hearing isn’t “propaganda”…

It’s people who know what is happening, or even just who Larry Ellison is

Sony charges a monthly fee to play online…

It’s really getting to the point Gabe needs to cash out and turn Steam into a non-profit…

I trust him while he’s alive, but some day he’ll die, and who knows what will happen to Steam.

We could wake up one morning and find out there’s a $10 monthly fee to access Steam’s “services” including every game you ever purchased.

We can’t just cost on the hopes nothing changes forever.

Did they ever get it to be actual AI?

Last time I heard about it they were just paying very low wages to people in India to watch everyone on webcams or something stupid

Ease of use, manages updates and just keeps it all together.

My first PC games you had to exit windows and load the game thru DOS, it meant we learned how computers actually worked, but it was a hassle.

Not really…

The reason it will domino is AI companies can’t afford the hardware, so Nvidia “invests” in AI companies and trades hardware for shares.

They have like 100 billion just in OpenAI, which they’re leveraging into loans to make more of the chips no one can afford.

If openai goes down, the banks call in the loans Nvidia has openai for collateral. So then Nvidia will have to sell all their other shares of other AI companies to cover the loans, and likely will have to drastically cut production of AI chips, driving the cost up.

Now all those other AI companies that Nvidia just sold, can’t afford the higher price, because they couldn’t afford a subsidized price along with shares.

As those companies fold, it makes even less people who would even want to buy those AI chips at any prices, driving Nvidia further down and maybe all the way to bankrupt

That’s when it starts fucking with index funds and the wider market

But all those shadow banks won’t really get hit. They’re not holding stocks to make money, they’re buried treasure chests filled with liquid assets in case of emergency. The only way they’d be hit is if the currency they’re held in collapses. Even then, that method almost always includes safety deposit boxes with precious metals/jewels to account for that

You’ll know because when it dies it’s going to cause a huge market crash and take a shit ton of other companies with it…

Huh?

Assuming that’s true it wouldn’t mean “no”, it would mean:

They do, but they used to too

Well nVidia just sells the hardware to the AI companies, so even if the bubble pops, they won’t go bankrupt.

Except all those companies are in an investor circle jerk with each other…

If AI bursts it doesn’t just hurt nvidia’s sales of products used by AI.

Nvidia has over $100 billion invested in OpenAI:

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/26/nvidias-investment-portfolio.html

And even more billions invested in other AI companies. Because the AI companies can’t afford to buy what Nvidia is selling at the price.

This means Nvidia “owns” a bunch of those AI companies, and can take loans out on the valuation…

If AI goes bankrupt, all those investments are worthless, which means banks call in the loans that used it as collateral. It could easily wipe out Nvidia.

It’s not just one surface level thing, even tho that’s all you seem to have thought of. You’re worried about a couple hundred million in sales like it’s not sitting next to 100 billion dollar loan.

Like bro, come on man…

They’re Stanzo’s, the smell means they’re quality…

They’re nice

So…

It’s not a bubble because…

“This is the largest infrastructure build-out in human history,” Huang said of active and promised data center projects. "And so the AI bubble is, comes about because the investments are large. And the investments are large, because we have to build the infrastructure necessary for all of the layers of AI above it."

It’s something we’re sinking money into soley because we’ve already been sinking money into it, and we don’t want anyone else to get ahead of us even though literally no one has found a way to monetize it enough to make back prior investments let alone new investments…

Like, he knows that’s literally the definition of an economic bubble, right?

Is he just trying to grift dumb rich investors, or does he legitimately not understand his company could go bankrupt literally at any moment if the investor class ever comes back to reality?

Fucks the water up too.

People that live too close turn their taps open and can get barely a trickle, sometimes literally nothing.

Because the data centers are sucking up potable water for cooling because it’s cheaper to run it wild open no matter what than paying for a sustainable cooling system up front.
