TTRPG enjoyer. ♒︎. Yugioh (Edison) and Pokemon enjoyer @bammaxtcg.bsky.social. MO / STL. why use AI when you could get good? thoughts are my own. #playmoregames 👤 he/him 🔗 bammax.carrd.co 🎲 bammax.itch.io

Everyone who's been paying attention knows that the reckless full-send on AI has always been with the goal of siphoning billions of our tax dollars into AI companies artificially through government bailout. That has always been the goal. That has always been the plan. That has always been the scam.

I've been saying this for almost 20 years. Once the government decides the solution to economic instability is to bail out a corporation every company is going to race to become too big to fail. Once 1 corporation gets a bail out and others don't you've basically created a state-sanctioned monopoly

If you have a Steamdeck, do yourself a favor and set up EmuDeck so you can play PS, Xbox, GameCube, Wii, etc. games in your library. Also do yourself a favor and avoid my mistake: go larger than a 128gb microSD, you're gonna want more room than that for games.

hello I hope you all have been awakened to the real reason why AI companies have been courting US government officials so hard and enshitifying everything: AI is unsustainable, and to get a 2008-style bailout of OUR TAX DOLLARS, they need to convince the government they're critical infrastructure

A day of pro-AI shareouts as Microsoft, Google, and the entire Chinese market have reported at least a trillion dollars combined of AI-overinvestment and spec losses in the last week.

Today we are releasing a significant update to our Team Trump Financials disclosures app. We've added over 700 new appointees and 2,400 new ethics documents. I'll walk through the changes and how you can use them to explore the financial ties of government officials. THREAD 1/

So is that $4.2M in settlement money for Bar PM coming out of city hall or Jefferson City? I get so confused, what, with Jeff City doing a hostile takeover of SLMPD.
