This will happen just as likely as all the hundreds of GWs of “AI compute” datacenters, for which there exists not enough power on the grid. All hype.

That chart is not about “AI smart glasses” (the ones with cameras and such), but about actual glass that has some “smart” functionality inside. Such as dimming or going opaque on command. So kinda relevant to this discussion.

Even more! In the EU it has to be marked/identified as AI generated, if you publish it anywhere (not that it’s enforced much yet, but competitors might/will sue if it’s used in a company setting). I think this should be adopted world wide (although fat chance, I know)…

Honestly, a crossover between Project: Hail Mary and X4: Foundations would be rad!

Someone has to pay for all that Microslop copilot bs and it’s just not enough with the intended customers

Yeah a real shame with channels like smarter everyday. Although for some there may be a way back the way things are going in the US, if they have at least a little bit of empathy and intelligence that is.

But more poor people means more mindless consumers, which means more profits. And if we know one thing, it’s that what the ultra rich want most, is be more rich. They are hoarders after all. And they couldn’t concentrate more wealth onto them, if there’s no one to take wealth away from. Or maybe that’s hypothetical doesn’t really work ;)

Why would they want so few people to oppress and exploit?

I dunno. Probably lots of lead poisoning, micro plastics crossing the blood-brain-barrier, other harmful stuff in our city-atmospheres and of course social media (for “old” folks facebook, for young people Instagram and tiktok). All of has fried our collective brains and tendencies for what you described increase because of it. But maybe that’s just an excuse to ascribe what’s wrong with people to something external.

It’s Microslop now
