RIP, Bob Cringely [19:06] schestowitz[TR2] "The Tax Youre Paying on a Chip You Never Bought" [19:06] nobody well, yes, regardless of some interesting scientific/technical aspects of google search AI algorithms [19:06] nobody those are EXTREMELY expensive [19:07] nobody but capital stock exchange is in desperate need for an annual re-financing of 80% interests currently [19:07] schestowitz[TR2] if the economyis not there [19:07] schestowitz[TR2] then you invent it [19:08] nobody they don't at least distinguish earnings and spendings anymore [19:08] schestowitz[TR2] like people who act rich [19:08] schestowitz[TR2] but are not rich [19:08] schestowitz[TR2] they at least feel like it [19:08] schestowitz[TR2] but then it stops [19:08] schestowitz[TR2] abruptly [19:08] nobody even when some of the AI-related boom was interesting from a scientific perspective, this had to be related to COSTS/SPENDINGS (environmental impact, etc. etc.) [19:09] nobody and, furthermore, rather anyone would be interested in science and technology anyway [19:09] nobody it's merely the excess demand for endless cash flow and profits [19:10] nobody and even this could be tolerated to a degree, if they didn't violate accounting rules and laws excessively [19:11] nobody nowadays the AI boom cannibalizes critical science and engineering even [19:11] nobody it's no coincidence germany shut down it's civilian nuclear reactors already, for example [19:11] schestowitz[TR2] true [19:11] schestowitz[TR2] it ssucks media [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] capital [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] attention etc. [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] even politicisns just repeat the hypesters [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] "AI policy" [19:12] schestowitz[TR2] all that nonsense [19:12] nobody if at least a relevant amount of this money did arrive at science, engineering, research, substantial education [19:13] nobody because that's another argument, when in reality for each 1 arriving at education, another 1000 are burned for NOTHING but hey hi marketing fuzz [19:14] nobody although this isn't an issue specific to "AI" and tech sector, the "financial crisis" in year 2007 detonated over real-estate gambles [19:15] nobody it's a systemic issue of never ending lust for gigantic amounts of unearned income, free money, everyone will be rich [19:15] nobody up until when this cannibalizes real economy, science, education [19:15] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techpol [19:16] nobody "That [energy] bill is, in part, a margin payment to a single chip company in Santa Clara" [19:17] nobody well, yes, and it's advertized as "carbon neutral" with "carbon tax" to be paid for [19:17] nobody which was an unpreceeded campaign of propaganda and lies to "safe the planet", with hot air produced in data centers to benefit "shareholder value" of a few [19:19] nobody although german national parliament already passed the "stock exchange pension fund savings plan for [19:19] nobody children born since 2020" [19:19] nobody for this new legislation to have any effect it must pass the german federal state council still [19:20] nobody although energy billing already did blow-up all accounting here in germany with "carbon-tax" and accounting fraud, appartment rent hikes etc. [19:21] nobody those additional 10/month "for the future of our children" it is this time, this might cost this Blackrock Capital CEO chancellor his position [19:22] nobody AfD today in parliament instead of opposing this, demanded even HIGHER such "investments" [19:23] nobody what a coincidence Musk and Alice Weidel (AfD) are known for their mental proximity [19:24] nobody for me it's been the decisive hint, to place entire AfD onto the hitlist among all other corrupt political parties we got here [19:25] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@kcvnmgbxt8eqq.irc) has joined #techpol [19:26] nobody the only political opposition to this we got here is this, another additional(!) 10/month atop carbon-tx to "safe the planet" aren't enough [19:27] nobody for that matter, the current proposal already argues with additional 10/month for low income households only [19:27] nobody while high income households may have to "invest" up to 570/month into the hey hi hyper bubble [19:28] nobody yet according to AfD Musk and friends even this was insufficient to guarantee a "capital stock retirement pension fund" for children 67years in the FUTURE [19:29] nobody because _all_ money "invested" like this will be BLOCKED for 67years until those children born nowadays might "benefit" from it [19:30] nobody at a minimum those "investments" will be blocked for 18years [19:30] nobody government promised a legally-regulated "standard investment fond" for this, so it's government then who will decide how money is "invested" best [19:31] nobody so, when investing "for the future of our children" people might not at least decide for themselves where and what money was invested for [19:32] nobody because, the "carbon neutral" activity in California knows best where all this money should arrive [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] it is a made up system [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] the financial one [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] it's built to benefit its builders [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] the climate issues are real; [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] but there is no genuine intent to solve iut [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] solving it means less people [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] and less people means more economy cuts [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] and they cannot afford to do that [19:32] schestowitz[TR2] "the economyt!" [19:33] *psydroid3 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [19:35] nobody well, of cause California Nvidia will solve climate issue with marketing fuzz, all that's needed is 570/month paid to them for 67years without any RoI nor climate effect other than hot air burning deserts and lakes running dry [19:35] nobody [19:36] schestowitz[TR2] for plagiarism [19:36] schestowitz[TR2] take in 10 photos of nature [19:36] schestowitz[TR2] strip off copyrights [19:36] schestowitz[TR2] make somee inferior copycats [19:36] schestowitz[TR2] with one glass of water and lots of diesel [19:37] nobody a most intresting aspect of this, in favor of "shareholder value" of this, entire german politics, public tv and news are centrally dictated 1984 big-brother style to follow along this campaign [19:37] schestowitz[TR2] no value is created [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] the scarce resources is humans [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] outputting slop wastes time [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] and energy [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] we need tools [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] real tools [19:38] schestowitz[TR2] not plagiarism tools [19:39] nobody the real value that is/was created is cannibalized by the hey hi nvidia fuzz [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] speculative "value" [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] like this [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] nobody: i sell you 1% of X [19:39] schestowitz[TR2] for 1000 euros [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] so x is worth 100,000 euros [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] that si the basic principle\ [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] this is what they do [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] in a loop [19:45] nobody another intersting technical aspect of this, Nvidia reylying upon RISC-V development, hasn't got a complete system-bootstrapping chain for their hardware and software [19:45] nobody from my perspective and what i've been researching in recent years, that's a most stunning minor little detail [19:46] nobody because without a complete system-bootstrapping chain for both hardware and software, i consider the "value" of any such company void [19:46] nobody that's the part of my argument, the entire hey hi hyper bubble cannibalized real science, real research and education [19:47] nobody reading further, ARCH=amd64 seems arrived at a dead-end almost with system-bootstrapping too [19:48] nobody and if you haven't got that, long-term any such company is a total technical write-off almost [19:48] nobody because, for example, engineers cannot rebuild any such computer-system from scratch anymore [19:49] nobody but it's never been technical aspects "investors" were interested in anyway, it's always been greed for cash and profit ONLY [19:50] nobody year 2001 it's been the "new economy" bubble, year 2007 they were praying on real-estate gambles, in between some time it was energy sector gambles and wars ignited over, nowadays it's AI [19:50] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@kcvnmgbxt8eqq.irc) has joined #techpol [19:55] nobody problem politics now got, they can't "recess" cash-flow back to normal, although they must, they simply can't [19:56] nobody because they were all soaking cheap cashflow from cannibalizing economy with taxation ("carbon tax" is their favorite to "safe the planet", and their cash pockets) [19:56] nobody hence the vicious financial death spiral prolongs indefinitely [19:57] nobody nowdays, although record amounts of money were reported, this doesn't suffice at least to route sufficient amounts into education, research, engineering etc. [19:58] nobody currently EU commission is negotiating their next budget btw. with a demand for another 50% interest surplus atop [19:59] nobody +50% for three years or so additional "interest" (although that's not yet nowhere near the 80% interest for the hey hi bubble) ● Oct 16 [20:00] *nobody has quit (connection closed) [20:00] *nobody (~nobody@xvcurqvi5ffa2.irc) has joined #techpol [20:02] nobody recently another two new taxes hit the scene: "sugar tax" and "plastics tax" [20:03] nobody just saying, i couldn't drink as much red bull sugar lemonade nor buy that much plastics sealed foods for government to yield any relevant amount of taxation funneled into stock exchange [20:04] nobody Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden (i think) are the only who oppose the current EU budget planning [20:04] nobody other than UK who already left with Brexit [20:10] *reap (~Username@s8kfk54nxqtqy.irc) has joined #techpol [20:15] nobody in the end, the taxation paid on electricity bills isn't intended for AI data centers themselves either [20:15] nobody it's the shareholder value and stock exchange profits those bills are inflated for with accounting fraud [20:16] nobody they AI hyper bubble boom marekting merely is a utility for this, not the end of the means [20:17] nobody scavengers prey on anything else alike, real estate, appartment rents, a little sugar lemonade or a plastics bag sealing cheese in grocery stores [20:17] schestowitz[TR2] they AI hyper bubble boom marekting merely is a utility for this, not the end of the means [20:18] schestowitz[TR2] like blockchain before [20:18] schestowitz[TR2] the marketing budget was greater this time [20:18] schestowitz[TR2] and the media controil [20:18] schestowitz[TR2] the media was dying already [20:18] schestowitz[TR2] it would lie for anyone by 2022 [20:19] nobody another recent one was "defense spendings", to "benefit" Ukraine of cause [20:20] nobody but that's yet another sheet of wasted paper written onto how RAND corp california tailored their marketing for financial interests in this [20:21] nobody it's a deadlock now, government couldn't pull out their heads from the financial slings pulled from California even if they wanted to [20:21] nobody even german government tenthousand miles away couldn't [20:23] nobody it's been far too much power far too long in the hands of very few people [20:23] nobody recently some "alliance90/green" affiliate praised California for their "renewable strategy", they had succed with the "energy sector transformation" for everyone else the world all over to follow along this example [20:24] nobody ed [20:25] nobody on the political scale, they try to get away with trump-bashing for
