In years to come, when we're crouching in the ruins running from the HKs, maybe about ten years if we're lucky, when people talk about the first human-bot wars, we'll be able to say "I was fucking there man, in the trenches, duking it with uziqGPT at all hours"
To be fair, even with 342 bots online now not one has the balls to take me on in D+ST.
It would be nice to think uziq had been repurposed for something useful, smoothing the traffic flow in a large city, developing algorithms for better weather forecasting, upscaling classic porn to HD, something productive.
More likely to be infiltrating Norad right now. If there was ever a bot that was going to bring about Judgement Day it was uziq.
"Die in a fire" yeah we know thats whats coming.
At least we know why he reviewed films without actually seeing them - a chatbot can't actually see.

That seems to have triggered a surge in bots, 458 at one point.
Yet not one will challenge me in a STEM vs Humanities debate.

chinese deepseek v3 just blew all the american companies out the water. $500 billion funding announced, lmao. the chinese just released an open source AI that is about 10x more efficient than anything the bloated and overpaid prelates of AI in america came up with. seriously embarrassing for the self-styled magii of the valley.
more importantly, it made private and offline personal LLMs immediately more feasible. the cost model has drastically undercut the american giants and their all-in AI moats. the chinese company are doing more efficient computation and aiming for something like 3% profit on the proceeds. totally game-changing. many smaller businesses and university researchers will find deepseek well within their grasp.

The stock market is totally unsustainable. ETFs and Index Funds experienced $1 trillion in in flow in 2024. It all ran up the values of tech companies.Nvidia lost $589 billion in market capitalization Monday, which is by far the single greatest one-day value wipeout of any company in history, more than doubling the $279 billion market cap lost by none other than Nvidia on Sept. 3, 2024 (Meta’s $251 billion loss Feb. 3, 2022 is the third-biggest daily loss).
The US stock market is a massive con job, same for bitcoins, collectables, a whole lot of crap on ebay which is pumped an dumped etc.
There's something strange in the American psyche - buy this before someone else buys it so you can make a profit selling it - its too risky to not do it.

early bitcoin would have made a lot of people comfortably rich, but in fairness it looked really dubious. i can't really blame people who decided not to get involved.
early bitcoin simply wasn't considered an investment for the longest time. its second wind/reinvention was a real zig-zag.
a lot of geopolitical things have lined up to send it sky-high. i don't think anyone buying and using the currency on darkweb exchanges ca. 2013 could have guessed that the next decade would see the rise of not only political populism but also a large global movement in support of new decentralised reserve currencies. that has as much to do with politics in china or the global south as with critiques of the federal reserve, inflationary crises, wars and pandemics, etc. a lot of things have occurred to make a black market currency suddenly seem like a place to store wealth.

re: collectables, moment of silence for all the nintendos and rare cartridges sold for pennies out of people's boxes of private things after they depart to college, and everything like that from generations past.
it would probably be justifiably petty poetic justice if a adult child, who lost irreplaceable baseball cards or something like that to a ninja garage sale while they were gone (with the understanding that it wouldn't be thrown out), disposed of their parents' 'priceless' junk in turn while they were indisposed. "where's my box of porcelain kitsch?" sorry, the place needed some room, and you weren't really using these." secure storage, use it.
the whole collectibles (save that, it'll have value later!) thing is weird to me. older people push that mentality onto younger people, but don't value the things younger people value.

i've seen stores dedicated to pokémon cards in shibuya and akihabara that will make you think twice about calling collectibles 'crap'. like 'low-end' watches, wines, certain designer handbags, etc., they're not to be sniffed at as investments. it's essentially art collecting for plebs who can't afford to spend 6-8 figures at sotheby's as a means of securing and investing their wealth.
a storeowner let me look at some cards that were each worth about as much as a new family sedan. crazy money for a piece of printed card.

Does the average person today hanker after a baseball once hit by Joe DiMaggio or an E-Type Jaguar?
The people who do are lying in hospices on oxygen.
Whats weirder is people buying and collecting stuff on the basis that someone else might want it in the future so the value should go up.
Now is a great time to get into Frnaklin Mint collectables I'm sure.

agree, it's just weird how older generations pushed the mentality of "save it, it'll be valuable someday," and then threw out their kids' things the moment their kids looked the other way for five seconds. because spring cleaning or something. "i wanted to use the box for something else."uziq wrote:

sea of anecdotes out there just like that.
caveat of course that people shouldn't just expect their parents to indefinitely hold onto their stuff for them. but a heads up that the unspoken contract of a dependent's things being safe was about to be broken would be nice. for an adult child away from home with the understanding that they'd be back for their stuff, a lot of unpleasantness could be resolved with this phone call: "did you want to keep your books?" "yes." "ok."
and then put them in storage somewhere else if two square feet of attic space really needs freed up that badly.

before the pokémon fanbase dies? are you fucking stupid? some of the most expensive cards in that store were ones i was opening from blister packs when i was 11 years old. they're been gaining value for 25 years now. it's one of the biggest franchises in japanese culture.Dilbert_X wrote:

how many investments in your stock portfolio do you have that post that sort of performance over time?
many profitable companies go through their entire life cycle well within 25 years, dipshit.
you aren't taking any of your things with you, whether it's signed memorabilia for 19th century sports or your well shored-up investment portfolio. something you seem to forget, sometimes, judging by the way you live your life (and judge others for living theirs). i'm sure pokémon card collectors can deal with such thoughts when they're on their death beds. none of the collectibles we have been discovering cost life-changing amounts of money.The people who do are lying in hospices on oxygen.

Cool, I have an original set of Supertrump F1 cards for sale.
Slightly scuffed, a few mysterious stains.
I think it could let it go for ~$10k

tell me you've never spoken to a person under the age of 40 or ever been to japan.
the size of the pokémon phenomenon is many orders of magnitude larger.
they had one of the biggest ever mobile games recently. when was the last time people were roaming around cities in groups playing supertrump f1 on iphone?
sorry that your hobbies from that vanishingly thin period of joy known as 'childhood' are all extinct, though.

Why would anyone go to Japan?
To meet people who as grown-ups play games on their phones?
I thought the whole point of video games was to not meet people.

pokémon go was primarily a huge phenomenon in the west. have you actually interacted with any young people, period, in the last few decades of your lonely existence?

i've never played it, either, but i know enough to know that a trading-card store in the global capital of the craze isn't going to need a 'closing down' sale any time soon.
i think the low-stakes collectibles people will be okay.

what's your point? the video-game was basically an AR tech demo. it was a craze, share prices spiked, a bunch of people made a lot of money.
the franchise isn't just a single AR iphone game, is it? the gameboy games of pokémon red/blue were the first 'craze' i can even remember in my own childhood. this was the late 1990s. is pokémon a silly thing to collect because, 'my god, what were those people doing, playing on black and white gameboys with 8-bit soundtracks?!'
are you dumb? it's a profitable franchise. people are paying $100,000 for unopened boxes of pokémon cards from 25 years ago. the latest gen-z youtuber icons are buying single cards for $5 million, 25 years+ after its inception.
is it as wise an investment as gold? obviously not, duh. but as far as collectibles go, it's not a flash in the pan, is it?
so philately and numismatics are out of date. i'm still sure they can support niche stores though, at worst, and plenty of people are still exchanging $10,000s for the 'black special prince edward stamp from micronesia' or whatever the fuck. i think the store i visited selling pokémon cards will be okay in one form or another until the sun swallows the earth.

lmao. i just linked you a video in which a middle-aged father took his toddler son to a pokémon center. it's a craze for kids today just as it was for me when i had barely reached puberty.Dilbert_X wrote:
