A trillion dollar affair is going to be an all timer.

BonziBuddy was a thing just before the dotcom bubble burst. Just saying.

They even look the similar.

It’s silly how “the internet remembers” saying gets repeated. That was true pre-2010 roughly. These days it’s evidently not that difficult for someone to be disappeared or disappear themselves from the internet.

Unless you’re high profile enough or you’ve really angered a crowd. Nobody is going to be archiving you. Certainly nobody is dedicated enough to ensure that your content is perpetually hosted somewhere.

There are some Youtubers from the 2010 era who I used to watch. It’s as if they never existed. They made their ad money and vanished.

They were going to lose anyway. Everyone seems to memoryhole that the Biden administration was on the verge of forcing Google to sell of chrome. They were probably going to enforce more antitrust on big tech.

But of course people memoryholed it. They control what you see and think.

It’s no surprise they comply with Trump’s arbitrary whims. The tech industry didn’t gamble. Trump was their only choice.

The odds are non-zero that someone has argued with their own toaster.

I’ve managed to convince investors that my brute force solution is worth trillions.

It’s the end of the personal computer era. Who’d have thought it was going to be so soon. Or at all.

Someone said you’re not human until you turn 35, and that line stuck with me. I think it was an actor or comedian on a podcast.

This is entirely Putin’s plan to dismantle America and attack Ukraine so Europe rearms.

The restrictions are so they can gradually institute tiered access fees. This is how the industry becomes profitable.

I made the discussion threads for a few shows in their early seasons from around 2010. There wasn’t automation to do it back then.

There’s always that guy, usually American, who regales on how they lived in China or some where in Asia for some years. Blog posting as if it makes them an authority on anything really. I can’t help but picture them thinking themselves as an 18th century frontier man who sailed across the oceans and walked across vast distances to journey to the Orient. And now he’s returned to tell everyone the tales of the far away mysterious lands.

As if nobody else has ever got on a plane and traveled some where else in the world before. As if the internet isn’t full of people from around the world who know much more than they do. I’m sure this way of talking captivates audiences in their rural America town where farthest anyone else has traveled is one town over, and so they’ll readily believe the fantastical stories of a traveling caravan of Siamese twins, hirsute women, and other such attractions.

Or it might be more apt to say that it shriveled like a rapidly deflating balloon: over the past four months

Not as catching as “bubble burst”. LLMs have proven their use. There’s a lot of superfluous stuff, but people are coping if they think the bubble is going to burst and their jobs will all go back to how the were.

It’s more than SpaceX and Anthropic. The entire market is financial mutually assured destruction. Anyone who has any sort of invested savings pretty much relies on the index funds in some way. If we eat the rich, we don’t get to walk away happy with full bellies. We’re going down with them.

Investors want repeats of the iPhone and social media revolution. They won’t get it by making tweaks to the smartphone or social media platforms. Nothing will stop them from trying, but all of this is just spinning the wheels.

Social media were already doing this with more relatively more primitive tech. The advent of social media mass control got me thinking. All the political and social strife. It’s only the beginning. The 20th century was marked by conventional warfare and terrifying new weapons.

The 21st century conflict is going to be something we’ve never seen before. Not unlike 20th century global conflict ushering in new forms of weaponry. We don’t know what the nuclear bomb of the 21st century will be. It will likely be something like this. Maybe we won’t be fearing an atomic bomb. Maybe people themselves will turn into violent mobs or something. What terrifying things will come out of using the world as live psychological experiments with zero ethics.

The main product they’re pushing is Muse. It’s a glorified Bonzi Buddy. A chat bot with customizable avatars. They’re screwed unless they have an enterprise LLM product. I don’t know if they do.

Facebook remade the world. It was a one in a generation thing. Zuck isn’t escaping the allegations that he was in the right place at the right time for that. He’s not going to catch lightning in a bottle twice.

The smoking gun for me is how much they’ve been screaming about others cheating. They cheated.

They completely memoryholed the_donald.

I thought this was a thing everyone was concerned about…

We’ve already seen a similar phenomenon happen with social media. It made everyone more stupider. Everyone uses social media so individually one person can opt out but the whole world is revolving around it.
