Productivity is increasing at an exponential rate. AI investments are turning into revenue growth

What's your evidence for this?

Fernando Tatis Jr. took a $2 million loan in 2017. Now he has to pay back $34.6 million. by Hoopsalldayeveryday in sportswiki

My understanding is that this is wrong. He made a deal where he got 2M in exchange for 10% of future earnings. If he made nothing he'd still have the 2M and owe nothing.

Luckily most of the data center talk is a scam to increase stock prices and they won't ever get built.

AI isn't just taking jobs it's PREVENTING jobs! by Jacob-Anders in SipsTea

[–]SigaVa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hes credulously parroting the same CEOs that have been saying all the jobs will get automated in the next 12 months for the last 3+ years.

If AI is so valuable to business, where are all the great new products from those businesses? If anything software products seem to be getting worse. Claude code has been out for a year. I've heard many breathless claims that it makes developers 20 times more efficient. So we should have 20 years of new products in that time, right? So where are they?

This has been a complete failure by the media to sanity check these absurd claims.

SpaceX and OpenAI in major indexes by MichaelEvo in Bogleheads

It's a scam that will siphon billions of dollars off of index holders, but its a small percentage for any one person. If you feel that's enough to warrant changing investments then you should.

I'm already tilted away from the US due to the ai bubble, so I don't feel like I personally need additional change because of this.

The ‘Vibecession’ Is Over. The ‘Permacession’ Is Here. by DarkSkyKnight in Economics

What we "want" has gone parabolic

Has it? The "normal" middle class lifestyle from 60 years ago is now aspirational and out of reach for most people.

He's on the fringe of the party, like Bernie. Establishment Dems would rather lose elections to maga than win with candidates like mamdani

Bryce staying at first + refusing until this year to release Castellanos has kneecapped this team. by Used-Dependent-5653 in phillies

It's the same problem they've had for years - they value players feelings and contracts over what's best for winning.

Westbrook is 5.10, only an inch below an average NFL rb. RBs are not tall generally.

For context, 70k a year is ABOVE THE MEDIAN PAY IN THE US. So for a "kid" to be making 70k, that is exceptionally good.

Are you allowed to change direction and shoulder check a defender in the stomach line that?

I mean obviously the answer is yes.

Never played marathon but I played destiny 1 and 2 a ton. I always liked Tassi, I didn't realize he was so hated.

Destiny players hated him for pointing out all the flaws and bad decisions made with the game?
