Kind of hard to believe that after our ever increasing cost of living (energy, tariffs, unchecked corporate greed), that people are going to then spend more using AI? Which is yet ANOTHER subscription.

What if Tech Company Layoffs Aren't All About AI? - Slashdot

"Running a Big Tech company during Silicon Valley's AI mania may not necessarily require fewer workers or cost less," writes the Washington Post: Amazon, Google and Meta together have roughly the same number of employees now as they did during an industry-wide hiring binge in 2022, company disclosu...

Ohhhhhhh.... Yesssss... I do love it when stores have ZERO employees, so I, the customer, have to do all the work AND pay for any stuff I might need.

It's so great that all the profits go to the top CEOs that can't even bother to greet you or anything like that because they're too busy laughing at you from the 51st floor of their phallus-shaped glass tower while you're bagging and charging for your OWN groceries at the bottom of society.

SCREW CAPITALISM!!

Roblox is pulling a DLSS 5, offering yet another example of a tool mistaking itself for an artist

Roblox makes a new version of the AI slop pitch we've seen time and again: replacing the creative process instead of making it easier.

《The union is calling for a complete overhaul of executive leadership, arguing that the focus on "snake oil solutions" like AI failed to address the actual needs of the developers or the modern gaming market.》

As if I needed more reasons to detest AI. Yeesh. Spiders made my favourite games. They redefined the meaning of AA titles. They will be missed terribly. 😢

Canada's new $25B nation-building projects fund fuels fear of 'back door' oil and gas subsidies

The Canada Strong Fund, the country's first national sovereign wealth fund, has launched to underwrite nation-building projects and enable individual Canadians to invest. Green groups warn it could be another public ‘prop up’ of the fossil fuel industry.

Big Tech investing billions in AI slop is a good thing. Once the mofos at the top realise the money's gone, they'll go into panic mode and start hiring actual human beings again... At which point everyone should tell them, "Where's your shitty AI now?"

Why would anyone want to vote for a warmongering shitty billionaire when millions of people can barely pay the bills and put food on the table? Are these people possessed? What's going on? I need an honest answer, thank you.
