  • Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.

    Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.


  • The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.

    The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.

    What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.

    The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.

    Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.



  • Dig up, mate.

    None of this AI grift is meant to be treated as serious.

    The very foundation it’s built upon is energised sand performing explicitly and purposefully inaccurate and imprecise calculations in an explosively cascading sequence.

    How better to describe the result of this than as slop?

    Much like any other religious adherence, I don’t care what you believe and subject yourself to personally, but my threshold for calling out and ridiculing is the same. When those beliefs and impositions are forced on non-believers without consent, which is what’s happening from this hype cycle.
