Reddit has answered almost every question I’ve ever had for years. The potential loss of all the knowledge is my greatest concern.

My thoughts exactly. It’s all devolved into savage economic darwinism. Giant corps won’t stop until they own literally everything, and even then, it likely won’t be enough. It truly is a cancer on society. It’s not like I want to abolish capitalism, I’m no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There’s a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:

Wow, that’s a lot of the franchise to dislike. You don’t even like episode 6?

I’m not an economist, but what is the endgame here? Eventually, in their ideal delusions, every household has their own subscription. How do they intend to fuel growth then? Just more price increases? I don’t understand this extreme capitalism. Can’t a business just be happy to be profitable? Why do they focus so much on indefinite growth like some kind of tumor?

I love the tactile feeling of writing on paper.

Isn’t that also referred to as Virtual Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence? What we have now I’d just very well trained VI. It’s not AI because it only outputs variations of what’s it been trained using algorithms, right? Actual AI would be capable of generating information entirely distinct from any inputs.

I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.

The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.

β€œOkay, so it’s the 41st millenium and there’s this guy called The Emperor. He doesn’t have a name, he’s just The Emperor and he’s the most powerful psychic in the galaxy. He’s also a skeleton that’s barely even alive sitting on a giant physic-amplifying throne. You see, what happened is that around the 30th millenium…”

I did. I’m disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
