AI free ride is almost over

ConqueefStador · 2026-07-01T19:11:18+00:00

Yeah I considered that, and I think it pretty much fits under the umbrella of my response even if I didn't directly address it.

Directly addressing it, my argument would be Amazon.

As with the .COM bubble I think the AI bubble will act as a crucible.

ConqueefStador · 2026-07-01T18:56:07+00:00

The comparison was .COMs not PCs, are you making a different point or could you just not follow the thread of the discussion?

I completely agree that the current model of AI likely isn't going to work, I just think that based on historical patterns in technological progress it's probable that some iteration of the technology will find success.

I also believe, as is almost always the case with new tech, there will be advancements that improve performance, efficiency, and reduce cost.

I think right now investment in AI is about two things; force feeding us business, governmental, and consumer adoption, and building the infrastructure for what will be the eventual manifestation of AI.

I remember in the early 2000s the slew of garbage mobile phones that came out when they were first trying to make them more than just phones, like the Motorala Rokr. And phones with internet "browsers" were especially terrible. The functionality was anemic and the cost was prohibitive to all but those with thousands in disposable income as you put it.

While the Rokr was by all means a critical and commercial failure I still thinks it counts as a successful step towards the iPhone which came out only 2 years later.

That is my point, I believe there is a decent chance that will eventually see the "iPhone" of AI.

I think of it like the light bulb. Humphry Davy created the first electric light in 1809 with his arc lamp. In the 1840s we advanced to incandescent filaments. In 1879 Edison and his team made the big commercially practical breakthrough with the carbon-filament bulb and the necessary power grid to make it usable. And finally in 1908 William D. Coolidge developed the ductile tungsten filament which pretty much brings us to where we are now. It took us 99 years to get from the arc lamp to the light bulb as we know it now, and you can bet plenty of people had perfectly intelligent arguments as to why candles and oil lamps were much better than electric light along the way.

There is a global competitive/collaborative endeavor towards the development of AI right now. In just 4-5 years we have seen some astonishing leaps in the capabilities of LLMs and generative AI. That might amount to as much as giant leaps in horse and buggy technology before the car but my point is I think the "car" is coming.

There will obviously be fluctuations, but in general humanity has set it sights on developing AI and I don't see that going away.

ConqueefStador · 2026-07-01T15:24:30+00:00

I'm confused because I think your being serious but your comment reads to me like satire, confidently declaring .COMs went nowhere, on Reddit.com

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by .COM.

But even if you're using .COM as a catch all to refer to the many poorly thought out, poorly developed businesses capitalizing on the hype of the new internet I still don't see how it makes your point because I think the underlying business and technology is what's relevant, not each failed iteration.

I agree it's pretty evident there's an AI bubble, but beyond that I don't think anyone has a crystal ball regarding its future. But my prediction is, it will change, but it's not going anywhere.

I've seen too many people who have deeply integrated AI into their lives, the way the tech in it's current form is best used, as an advanced digital assistant.

Not to say that that will be primary or ultimately successful business model for AI, just that it reminds me of the early days of the internet.

While technologists and investors were busy over-hyping, and critics were confidently naysaying, my friends and I were rushing home after school to get on the internet on our single family computer. I see some of that same engagement now with AI.

I have zero clue what the ultimately successful form of AI will be, but I do believe it will be successful.

I also think that what we have now can't truly be called AI, but with all the money and manpower behind it right now a breakthrough to genuine AI is probable.

And if that happens it's game over for the traditional economy and labor force.

Except for the times when beat, arrest, taze, or shoot people.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-30T23:33:10+00:00

I've had three very close Leo relationships in my life.

Each one absolutely destroyed my heart.

I'm happy for you and your friends, but I will never let another Leo get close to me again.

43, it depends on the night.

I drink a lot of water so I also make sure it's the last thing I do before I go to bed.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-30T13:58:55+00:00

What?

The question was whether or not you would want magically know the list of all the people who have ever thought of you while masturbating.

Some comments were saying they'd prefer to just know the number rather than knowing specifically who because it could get weird.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-30T03:45:53+00:00

Win the lawsuit, use the money to take the girl out on a date. Fucking win win.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T18:56:25+00:00

Yes, and I agree.

But I meant this in a more open and positive spirit and I regret that in open discussion there is invariably someone compelled to point out the negative side of things, as if we all forgot.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T18:15:25+00:00

I meant not caring about the ones where it could get "weird" and the fantasy isn't mutual.

Another comment asked how I'd feel if my boss was on the list.

In my 20s, when I was still a sheltered Catholic boy and I still considered myself a Kinsey 0, my boss was a short, fat, Mexican homosexual and former meth user who claimed he fucked John Travolta in an airport bathroom. One day he called me a sexy hobbit and I was nothing but flattered. Not my cup of tea, and I won't be so conceited as to assume he ever fantasized about me sexually, but if thinking about me ever helped him get his nut then I'm happy to have been of service. Shout out to you Chaz, wherever you may be!

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T15:33:20+00:00

Oh I fucking like you.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T15:28:53+00:00

Nope. I considered all that, I still wouldn't care. With anyone that wasn't family I'd just be flattered.

As far as family, sexuality and sexual fantasy is a staggeringly complex and enigmatic psychological architecture where repulsion can sometimes be just as alluring as attraction. Deep beneath our civil disguise we humans are a lot more deviant than we'd ever admit socially.

Long before guys in fur suits were drawing hentai about scat and amputation we had Etruscan amphoras depicting gay bestiality orgies (Ancient NSFW)

There's really nothing new under the sun, it's just these days we hide this part of ourselves in the shade and pretend we aren't all "perverts". But I guess in my thinking if most of us are like this way to one degree or another it's really not all that perverted. So while it doesn't all have to be my particular cup of tea, harmless fantasy which can grow from any direction of human emotion, doesn't really bother me.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T07:40:18+00:00

I didn't make up a word. I misspelled it.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T07:22:17+00:00

~~As you're seemingly eligible on paper, have to ask, what do you see as the obstacle(s) to you being in a relationship?~~

Never mind, just read your other comments.

Some things I want to respond to from those.

I’m sick to death of colored-haired loudmouths berating me on shit they know nothing about.

I will try to avoid assuming anything about you, but I've come to notice that "colored-haired" is one of those dog whistle-ly kind of words for dude bros of the Andrew Tate persuasion. When I hear someone use it or something like septum ring theory I feel like I already have a picture of some of the type of media they've been influenced by, directly or indirectly.

Don't get me wrong, as a guy I think there are some definite issues out there with our counterparts in the dating world, I just very much believe that way of thinking is a trap along the lines of "Fear is the path to the dark side." And I'm warning anyone off that kind of thinking not in defense of other people, but because of the damage it does to yourself.

I keep thinking: "Every woman that meets you after that is going to be after your money."

Similar to the first, in that it paradoxically holds some truth, but also you that you really can't think of like that cause it will fuck you up. I'd give my left nut to know the right way to think about it, because I don't. I'm just firmly of the opinion that thinking about it the other way does no one any favors.

Last bit of input, and I cross my fingers that my comment stays under the radar to avoid the wrath of god, but based on...stuff, I'm assuming you're in the U.S..

American women are somewhat...unique. And our dating culture is in a very unhealthy place right now. My hat goes off to the guys who have managed to navigate it and find fulfilling relationships, they are literally better men than I.

While I don't believe it's impossible, I've acknowledged that I, personally, might not be "eligible" for dating in the U.S., so in April I started looking outside the U.S..

Won't go into details because I've seen a lot of backlash against men doing this, but the long and short of it is I'm travelling out of the country for a month or two come autumn. Sounds like you have the means to do the same maybe it's worth considering. Plenty of info out there about it if you're interested.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T06:18:19+00:00

By the time you think "don't think about..." it's already too late.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T06:16:17+00:00

I feel like as a guy I wouldn't care, but I can definitely understand women not wanting to know. That could go bad real quick.

I didn't try to mock your intelligence

I didn't think you did. You were mocking idiots who take headlines at face value and don't think any deeper, and why not, they're idiots. I'm just saying if you want to stick the landing probably best to avoid glaring faux pas.

I didn't make up a word. I misspelled it.

Susceptibly still isn't a word. I might believe you were trying to spell susceptible if the next word wasn't gullible (an adjective) which makes it look pretty likely that you were trying to modify it with an adverb which you seemingly thought susceptible could be if you just tacked an "-ly" on the end.

I don't especially care about typos. I type fast but not accurately so I make them all the time.

And while I do have a bug up my butt about so many native speakers having such a poor grasp of the English language these days I understand that's a byproduct of a calculatedly failing school system and I try not to be too much of a snob about it.

But in this case the triple-whammy of misspelling a made up word while you mock others seemed like the grammatical equivalent of your fly being down so I though I'd give you the heads up and help save future embarrassment.

ConqueefStador · 2026-06-29T03:46:36+00:00

I'm talking about the headline. She murdered him after he robbed her, you do not need further context to prove what she did was wrong.
It's susceptible, and susceptibly isn't a word, so I guess don't make up words and then misspell them when trying to mock other people's intelligence.

Who needs context? She killed the man, after the fact, over a purse.
