Why has it taken me so long to hear the term Slop-bowl’s. I love it!

Does that make delivery drones, Slop-birds?

David Graeber might have something to contribute to this subject.

We could call it the Intel Principle. ;)

To be pedantic, value is in the eye of the beholder. Cost is how much goes into something, Price is how much someone wants to pay, Value… that is much more subjective.

Oil costs $50 a barrel to pump, priced at $100 on the market but when it comes to value could be seen as providing $20,000 of human labor.

Not trying to defend AI junk, like seriously people, just do the work yourself. But value is such a hard thing to quantify.

About the only time I have been like ‘Yeah alright, I get it’ is if you have a sort of writers block. Get a rough draft spat out but then bounce of that, but do not rely on LLM junk for anything more than that.

Five figure!? That’s a bargain. many are going well into six figure territory nowadays.

Ram man Sam should fall into a Dam.

It was Douglas Rushoff who said something like, Some people do Ayahuasca and they figure out their place in the universe. Tech bros do Ayahuasca and they are just tech bros doing Ayahuasca. That is, there is no deeper layer to them that they can access.

You think this is bad, the guys at OpenAI probably realized they are cooked! IPO is a way to cash out and flee to Argentina, instead they might walk face first into a combine harvester that is the remnants of the AI market. Poor Atlman can sell some RAM.

No that is a conspiracy I can get behind.

In an economic system that has striped people of self value, some will find their own in value that attacks said system. However in a really weird way. One that has them telling you Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced with someone who just happened to be as good if not better than the original McCartney?!

Now how on earth could that create any kind of performance anxiety?

To quote Adam ruins everything from 10 years back! THE HYMEN DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY!

Don’t get me wrong, the Democrats to occasionally Jerry mander (they aren’t perfect), but it was wild to see that even with all the republicans tricks to push on the scale, it didn’t work to such a large degree that they just had to accept defeat.

Remember, cast iron isn’t land fill, it is an heirloom.

Ah that explains it! No lead would survive the initial casting but using it for that after the fact makes sense.

To be fair to the 1980’s, a Hercules video card in 1982 adjusted for inflation would only be about $1700. We are way beyond that point.

An original Macintosh 128K would set you back $8100 in today’s money, so I guess in that regard Apple hasn’t changed. ;)

At least the Macbook Neo comes with a lot more flashy stuff.

It is starting to feel like it. Might not see price decline for a while yet, but the upswing on pricing is nearing breaking point.

I suspect if anyone is buying these is because of them needing to meet an existing strict spec. Not sure what that would be but it is a possibility.
