I know Sam Altman is the modern version of a classic scam artist, presenting just enough real results to skyrocket valuations out of all proportions. I know having too much money causes grandiose narcissists to just lose their mind spending on the most random shit possible. But, a talk show being bought by an "AI" company is still a thing I did not put on my bingo card.

Yesterday working from home was for lazy do nothings that didn't want to be tortured by narcissists, but now that it threatens "people that matter" it's suddenly a good thing.

They don't make technology, they're just a fanciful patent troll, all they make is threats. Fuck Dolby and anyone that pays them anything

Colbert is a noted Tolkien fanatic, I never watched much of him but sheerly through internet osmosis I know he loves the property. He's also been getting into adapting fiction, owning the rights to and trying to a produce a series from The Chronicles of Amber, one of the major inspirations for Game of Thrones. I guess I don't know if he has any skill at writing narrative fiction, but unlike the dreadful LOTR TV show produciton he's at least got the enthusiasm and appreciation for the subject matter.

it's been a neverending stream of blatant lies out of Nvidia around this, the kind that spells "easy lawsuit" when the bubble pops. Someone finally got through the PR machine at Nvidia to find this thing is nothing more than a slop filter pasted over video games. All the stuff about "materials and lighting" and artist input and etc. are easily provable lies. The demo itself is basically a lie, 5 second clips without camera movement because if the camera does move stuff can start warping around randomly. That's the point we've reached in the hype bubble, when even the biggest companies feel free to spout nonsense, legally actionable lies to keep the hype going then the collapse is probably within a year.

-next year, for the next 10 years.

I have announced Oxygen+. Better than stale old oxygen, I've re-engineered it for the future of breathing. Better, faster, stronger, and since "old" communist deployed oxygen suddenly seems to be running low as of late you'd better take out a lifetime subscription now, as you could certainly be caught dead without Oxygen+!

1. Subsidize product running off "big iron" 2. Get people hooked 3. Jack up the price as high as it'll go 4. Wonder why everyone decided to run the software on their own hardware instead. Rinse and repeat decade after decade.

-the week gas prices shoot up 25% due to a war. Nice.

Cheeto man literally tried and failed a year ago. There's a congressional law that mandates any state that starts using daylight savings time cannot legally stop without permission, and Congress is filled with so many dusty liches that they refuse to repeal this law despite overwhelming popularity to do so because their literally fossilized brains cannot comprehend doing the jobs they were chosen to do.

America's problems go far deeper than dementia Hitler, the two houses of Congress are nothing but petty robbers so old they think walking on two legs is a modern invention, and it has a populace so disconnected and uncaring about how the government works or what it does they keep re-electing these paleozoic cretins indefinitely. Cheeto man is just the apotheosis of glitzy, substanceless drooling uncaringness that is the United States.

Now where's my $20 million dollars in venture capital? BTW I'm 3 and my co-founder hasn't been conceived yet.

Understanding the US is currently under the thumb of an ancient, tyrannical dictator US President Donald Trump has vowed to end the regime of the United States and free its people from oppression. The President is quoted as saying "They have oil, they have all the oil, did you know this? I just learned how much oil they have, and land. So much land, the United States will be the biggest the country on the continent after we take over the US. The US President better surrender quietly."

... doesn't know what school is for. I hope this grift is entertaining enough to warrant a podcast so I can be entertained by it years from now. Maybe I'll think about horses while listening to it.

someone were to post an image of exactly what a Flock Surveillance camera looks like in this very comments section.

also likes when other people hear him talk. Local psychologists concerned he may have untreated narcissism but can't stand listening to him long enough to find out.
