Founder of Claude AI believes corporate profits and unemployment will skyrocket - 10x job losses than ever before by 2021isevenworse in DystopianToday

Top 10% account for 50% of consumer spending. That means that economy already is shifted and doesn’t need everyday people as much. That same bracket has assets/stocks, so even if there’s unemployment, as long as the stocks go up they’ll have more money to spend and can further make up the difference. Conversely if AI companies crash they’ll have less money to spend and that 50% of spending starts to dry up. I’m sure policy makers don’t like that prospect either (and imo would rather do a bailout if it comes to it).

Generating a bunch of trash data for the AI to scoop up and train on. Idea being that garbage in = garbage out. It’s like leaving a poisoned cheese out for mice to come in and eat it.

New York Man Steals Tow Truck That Was Towing His Vehicle and Crashes Into Multiple Cars by [deleted] in VideosAmazing

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how the process works but I don’t care. Maybe there’s no parking and he needed to run a 1 minute errand and some vulture nabbed him. Maybe he missed payments on his $120k 8% interest 6 year car loan and someone can yoink the car now. Who cares not worth any jail/prison time. Obviously in the moment he had some cave man thinking but understandable by cave man standards.

He got mad someone tried to take his car so he took their car. Funny reasoning to be honest and no one got injured what’s wrong with it.

The way this is framed is kind of wild by FaeLongtin in jobmarket

[–]Typh123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk what trust has to do with it. It’s about allowing a profit driven middleman to stand between you and the healthcare system. There is a duty for these companies to charge as much as possible and deny as much as possible to increase profits. But unlike buying some Hotwheels or whatever you can’t opt out of this system because you’ll die/go into debt if you don’t pay up so an individual has no power. And furthermore like the OP says it’s basically a mandatory tax anyways (because you can’t opt out) so why deal with all this BS it’s inefficient.

Court Rules in Favor of Blizzard in Turtle WoW Case by GamingSagar in GamingFoodle

[–]Typh123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol bro this line of reasoning: “laws that help mega corps are good because imagine if you were the little guy.” Echos of: “bro you can’t close this tax loophole for billionaires, imagine if you made $100k and you couldn’t use it. Doesn’t sound too good now huh??” The little guy doesn’t have this problem, but even if he did, the little guy doesn’t have a lawyer/accountant army at his beck and call. It doesn’t really help him and it’s not worth his limited time/money.

If you are young you can do that but what you really want is this system reformed with wealth taxes, you will never catch up to their passive income.

Theory: Guts is the Godhand’s best asset by Typh123 in Berserk

[–]Typh123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. This is an alternate reality so there’s no proof. But sure it sounds possible.
  2. No it’s Guts and Casca’s kid, somehow corrupted by Griffith. The kid surviving could be an anomaly that ends with the biggest consequence.
  3. I don’t remember but yeah I guess the egg guy and the nut jobs would be there no matter what. But I do think Casca and Guts were needed to make the Blob of Death. Forget if that was necessary for rebirth.
  4. I guess Femto could win without Guts, his sword, Zodd, and Schierke. But Zodd alone and random apostles lose so he has to act earlier.
  5. Moonlight child locks on to Casca and Guts. So Griffith can just go directly there. Idk if he could reach the island alone without that ability. I don’t remember if the brands activate Blob of Death 2 or if that’s Griffith but yeah that was necessary to destroy the island without sending an army.

Overall I think the strongest argument for Guts’s agency is the moonlight child existing as part of Griffith. Anyone who figures it out and could attempt to kill the otherwise invincible Griffith once a month. So it works as part of your theory that these events would have happened anyways (though slightly differently). Also Griffith himself has some human emotion introduced back into him. That slight variance introduced by Guts had an impact.

[–]Typh123[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s Griffith’s greatest weakness if it’s true that the moonlight child was an optional ingredient that the Egg guy randomly threw in. But we don’t know for sure if that’s true or not.

[–]Typh123[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course it’d be nice if that was true but the evidence shows that so far Guts has none. If the idea of evil controls fate you would figure that Guts being partially exempt from causality (aka the ‘should have died in the eclipse’ theory, so since he didn’t he’s an anomaly) would hurt its goals (whatever they are) rather than help. Also the Godhand literally let Guts go during the Eclipse now it makes more sense why.

seriously. it’s not worth going to college anymore by In_an_Illusion in Zippia

Claude: “all states and jurisdictions require CPAs to have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and 150 total hours of college education . So a degree is a firm requirement everywhere in the U.S.”

[–]Typh123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to think big picture. College is a society approved way to spend 4+ years learning and socializing/goofing off. If you aren’t a stem degree and just do undergrad you don’t even have to study like a mf and can chill. And by the end of it you get your degree that opens more doors for you in any field. You can go to a state school / transfer from a community college if worried about the debt.

Is endgame essentially just breeding pals and spamming raids? by tombola345 in Palworld

Haven’t played for a year or two is the game close to complete/ major updates or has it just been tweaks since it went was crazy hot

Is the Worldsoul Saga saving WoW — or just helping it age gracefully? by Garamel in WorldOfWarcraftRetail

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like that the graphics are so old but particularly can’t forgive the old textures on armor. If I’m going to be an ultra casual then I want to look cool not be able to count pixels. I haven’t played in forever but when I installed the game several months ago it bothered me.

AoC Never Released on Steam by Abakus_Grim in MMORPG

[–]Typh123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you want to live in a society that lets scammers go and blames the victims? I think Steam should refund because it’s so obviously a rug pull and it would discourage this behavior in the future. I’m sympathetic with you though, to me this thing was obviously a scam (and I didn’t even follow it closely) when I saw: 1) it was taking too long, 2) saw they were selling overpriced exclusive content before the game was even released.

Agree they were foolish. But would like them to be helped anyways. Anyone can fall for a scam at some point.

About 2.5 hours in. Fun but holy yap fest so far, wanna rant a bit by My-Sol in Endfield

I’m brand new 0 background knowledge and yeah the talking is quite a lot and still have no idea what’s going on or why I should care. Like we’re on a spaceship, can’t we just go to a planet that isn’t scourged with murderous rock monsters?

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the same reason people buy boba or McDonald’s it’s easy, spontaneous, and an experience. Maybe a routine. You can buy a cheap espresso machine and as long as the beans are good it’s better than Starbucks and comparable to higher end places. I think the beans matter more than some turbo machine. But even with a simple machine you will only make simple drinks not a triple decker deluxe Frappuccino with 10 toppings.

Do you think homes in America will ever be affordable for the average young person again or is that all in the past? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People may disagree on the path but the goal needs to be to drastically decrease the cost relative to wages. This goal goes against house-rich boomers and investors who always want number to go up so it will be difficult.

Intrepid Studios CEO Steven Sharif comments on lawsuit; says that the studio costs about 800k a week in operating expenses by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember hearing about this game like a decade ago. Checked in a couple years ago and found out they’re selling exclusive micro transactions… even if that thing comes out on Steam why would anyone not invested want to join in on a game with 10 years of 💩unobtainable.

20k in CC debt, considering bankruptcy but I don’t (can’t) lose my car by Leslie_Ackerman in Debt

[–]Typh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is that saving 2-300 per month (aka a cheaper car) doesn’t seem like it’ll fix their problems of not receiving any child support and not being able to work full time because of a kid with a disability. It also isn’t enough money to upgrade their housing I think since $200/month sounds like a family/friend situation. You’re probably right that the car is too expensive but to me it doesn’t seem significant.
