What? Men are the coolest humans on the planet. They built the entire city you live in, including all the infrastructure for electricity and water and plumbing, and many are a lot of fun to talk to. Maybe not all, I dont know, but some guys are hilarious.

If anything, I feel like men should get hell of a lot more credit than they do. They are taken for granted a lot but are doing so much actual important work every day.

That’s true. I’m also not a fan of it.

I hate the entire culture of being in office. Where people are laughing at the boss jokes, only saying what the managers want to hear, and playing politics.

Covid was really a great time because we could finally produce work without all that, and productivity from the actual workers went up very much. And the people who felt bad at home were the ones who needs the office environment to feel motivated, because they enjoy the politics and social games people play at work.

I asked many colleages what they like about the office and the answer was always the “social” part, and thats because they don’t have any friends to hang out with after work. That’s super common for the entire working class I believe. We simply don’t have anything except work. How sad is that.

I used to work in tech and I think it’s very draining these days, with AI and the constant pressure to deliver more and more. Could be why people are “sick”, they just can’t work on that level all the time, even being young.

Unions are why we have 30 days vacation every year in Europe. Its the entire reason why we are not completely exploited like in the US.

Many people fought very hard to make that happen.

Yeah I guess that’s true.

It’s basic supply and demand… If you have customers willing to pay more for your product, you will sell your stock to that person. I think we tend to judge these companies for doing what we would do ourselves.

Lets say you have a lemonade stand and some adult comes along and says he will buy it all for 2 dollars per liter when the normal price is 1 dollar per liter. Are you going to say that he can’t buy all the lemonade and sell it for lower price to the kids? Maybe you would, and that makes you a very good person, but a bad businessman.

Lol, Lemmy downvoting this comment 23 times just shows how sensitive the Lemmy crowd is. :)

It wasn’t even something offensive and it’s the truth too. Unless “gather around kids” is offensive to today’s generation…

Im 50, and just like this guy I remember ram being very expensive. That doesn’t mean we should be happy to go back to that of course. This pricing hike is 100% caused by data centers creating the infrastructure for dystopia. Nobody is laughing about that.

But still, he is correct.

Absolutely they will.

I mean, people do all kinds of things in games they never want to do in real life. Smashing up a parade with a shot gun would be fun. And if it’s pride, it’s even more fun because it’s just so wrong. You know?

When I was playing gta, I had so much fun just hitting people on the street. Who didn’t do that? And who didnt look at the girls in very inappropriate ways?

Games are games. It doesn’t mean your collegue is an asshole. When I was playing duke nukem in the 90s, I was playing co-op and I laughed my ass off when I killed my buddies with remote triggered explosives. I mean I was laughing so I got tears coming out of my eyes. :)

It’s just games. And when we start acting politically correct in games, it’s all over. We have become machines.

Yeah and the wars are created by America many times, because its huge profits for the military industrial complex and also serves as a way to increase the American presence in countries with resources like oil.

The CIA is super good at what it does actually.

He always was a good guy. Ripped off by Steve Jobs. Steve was brilliant but he ranked very low on empathy. It’s surprising that he was a good speaker. Sam Altman and Zuckerberg is more like the pictures of a smart psychopath but Steve wasn’t like that.

It’s the infrastructure for mass surveillance and dystopia so it’s hard to find any positives.

I think he is right about tech workers working on a higher level, using a bulldozer instead of a shovel, but thats going to be a good thing for the company, not the worker.

He sees the company as the main driver in the economy and if it’s good for the company, it’s good for the country. If it sucks for workers, it’s a sacrifice he is willing to make…

Boosting productivity is very bad for the stressed worker who gets a new performance baseline that is 10 times what it was before. We already see this happening.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

He is right about this too, because he knows the taxes in America is not going to those people. America has so much money but they spend it on weapons instead of their country.

So he is not lying in this interview. He is saying the truth which is why things are so sad. Him paying more taxes would just give more money to the weapons industry. He is existing inside a country where the presidents doesn’t care about ordinary people at all. Same as Russia.

I also did those things not too long ago, maybe 3 years ago. It’s a lot of fun and brings back the teenager enjoyment, that’s true.

Using the cloud is good at work but at home, it’s much more fun to have your own stuff running.

Doesnt have anything to do with fighting with ourselves. America has never invested a lot of money into its own population and environment.

The state of things is what if, that’s true. It has not happened. :)

At some point, it should happen. Still not going to put a dent in the datacenter / dystopia rally though, since they will pick Nvidia and known brands.

It’s not going to pop because it’s about building datacenters and Ai for the control system of human beings. Not for chat bots.

This is the infrastructure for dystopia that is coming up and people think it’s about AI chat bots… Why do people continue to trust what these companies say instead of look at what they do?

Nvidia is heavily invested in robots as well. Because they know where this is going.

Maybe 5-10%?

I thought they were way too expensive even at launch. Switch games are also great with friends.
