Stock image of a ram stick with this text above it: "the reason ram prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put in gpus that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist,to satisfy demand that isn't actually there,in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible"
This may be a repost, but it's a good summary of the AI bubble
Hence the "accidentally" on the post .w.

Tumblr post by foxboytail: "As a young adult, I used to think what messed me up as a kid was having completely unfiltered access to things I wasnât ready for, like NSFW content, gore, heavy discourse, and the existence of predatory adults online. But now that Iâm older, I see it differently. The problem wasnât what I had access to. It was that I didnât have access to a safe adult I could actually talk to; someone I could trust to help me without immediately cutting me off from everything and everyone. I remember getting messages from strangers on Skype. I didnât even respond. But when my parents found out, they banned me from using it entirely. That meant losing most of my contact with friends outside of school. So what did I do? I went behind their backs. And once I was hiding, I couldnât tell them when something actually dangerous was happening, like when I started being groomed. By the time things escalated, I was already alone with it. I think about an episode of Scared Straight where a girl was dragged through a prison because sheâd been talking to adult men online. She wasnât doing that because she was reckless or malicious; she was lonely. Her parents werenât present, she was being bullied at school, and these men gave her attention, told her she was pretty, told her she mattered. She was already being harmed. And the adults in her life responded by terrorizing her. Humiliating her. Calling her a slut. Telling her she deserved it. Breaking her to pieces."
Second half of the tumblr post: "What lesson does that actually teach? Not âthis is dangerous, come to us.â It teaches: If you get hurt, we will hurt you more. Do you really think that makes her stop, or does it just make the predators look safer by comparison? They might as well have driven her straight into the jaws of those predators with torches and pitchforks. Because when every path back to safety is lined with punishment, kids donât run away from danger. They run deeper into it. If you want kids to be safe, stop treating them like problems to control and start treating them like people worth protecting. Stop ripping away their autonomy the second they make a mistake or encounter something risky. Stop teaching them that honesty will cost them everything. Be the person they can come to without fear of losing their entire world. Because safety isnât built through control, itâs built through trust. And if you arenât safe for them to tell the truth to, then you arenât keeping them safe at all."

This tumblr post finally put into words WHY I can never speak with my parents about anything, even when I actually have a problem. Their way of "helping" is to punish me for having a problem
*EYE TWITCH* đ˘
It do be like that sometimes.
A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month.
Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it.

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.
Call your reps NOW.
You should always, at the very least, seriously consider making that project idea exist because you never know how much of it might inspire someone else to make THEIR project exist and then we ALL win

for jitters!
like maybe the public would be getting less frothy and toothy about this if big tech hadnât spent the last three years constantly threatening the public with impoverishment and feudal control, idk
I do feel bad for all the legitimately good tech people out there catching strays over this, but letâs make sure weâre keeping our eyes on the âgenuine threat of technofascismâ ball
More serious thoughts on this in this thread

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what theyâre *reacting* to?

Hey, this is worth taking like 60 seconds to fill out. Its not a commitment towards anything, its just to help the Free Speech Coalition gauge interest in such a credit union
Please share this around! This could end up being huge!
A drawing of a flame's silhouette with text inside it that reads "All you had to do was pay us enough to live".
Feels poignant.

Thereâs nothing wrong with making fun of or celebrating the deaths of terrible people.
