>They (everyone) are not forced to buy it. They’re buying it on the hype.

I think you may not understand the problem. As noted, unmanaged/passive index funds invest using market capitalization as a metric. And anybody who is invested in these ETFs thus unknowingly buy into these astronomically overhyped companies, and once these company valuations fall (and they will), pension funds/IRAs/401k will be the bagholders.

All of the mentioned will dump their overhyped and overvalued trash onto retail investors which are forced to buy it due to it being part of the NASDAQ. It will tank in value afterwards due to public scrutiny revealing thr fiscal unprofitability. Retirement funds will be ripped apart, trust in the financial system will evaporate, people will be left holding the bag on a scale that makes Lehman brothers seem like a trial run.

Use Firefox, uBO works great. While I really enjoy seeing people find creative technical workarounds, the reason for it being needed in the first place is Googles fight against Adblockers with Manifest V3. Firefox allows people to sidestep this artificial downgrade of adblocking capabilities.

I disagree, I think you cast the net way too wide. Asymmetric cryptography enables secure communication in the first place. It's being used nefariously by Google and Apple, of course, but that's to be expected from big tech.

I think they absolutely have the ability to see it, it's part of the value proposition for them.

From somebody that used to live in the Delphi world for about a decade: very nice!

AI is like a slow acting poison which spreads and contaminates every industry, until big AI can rent-seek in form of token expenditure while advancing sloppification of everything it touches. I want to get off Mr. Bones wild ride

Nah, that rule is more relevant and true now than it was a year ago.

I agree. I have no idea why this story is upvoted. Hacker culture is truely dead, it's all slop now.

Why is this downvoted? What the (far) right wing has done to american institutions is incredibly destructive and it will take decades to fix it, if that's even possible. People are hurting because of it.

The normies are what makes Microslop money, though. We need to get the normies onboard in order to fight MS' stranglehold on computing. Gatekeeping isn't the right move here.

No, it's not conscious, and anybody pretending it is has either no clue, or, more likely in the AI space, is a grifter.

Probably yeah, but we could at least try to not make it worse, though even that seems very hard for the tech grifters in silicon valley.

Have you ever been in India while they have those incredibly hot heatwaves in the summer? That kills thousands of people every year. This will only get worse the more greenhouse gasses we emit so slop machines can generate funny videos of the pope breakdancing.
