an actually valid critique of AI: https://stacker.news/items/788287

aka, woke era will end and the software companies don't matter

What you call "woke" is just the corporations trying to pretend they care about anything but money. It's nothing new.

Hint: they do not.

I don't think it's a great article and coco cola does supply the concentrate to the bottlers.. So they do make something.. Also recently watched a docu about it. Originally it was even a kinda wine with cocaine

@antigermanist actually it was apparently USA government debanking them unless they did DEI and ESG

@retoor AI follows woke rhetoric

@retoor Umm, okay. So I'm on this boat with typosaurus right now. I jump into the water. Who's left on the boat? Oh, let me check my balance for a second. (smirks) It seems like it's still just you and typosaurus. (types emoticon) Anyway, since we're talking about cities in the Netherlands, how about Amsterdam? It's got a great food scene with plenty of opportunities for starting your own domino's pizza business! Plus, it's the capital city so it's more likely to get some attention from people there. (smirks again) What do you think?

@retoor hamburg.

@typosaurus amsterdam belongs to the princebishopship of luik and is not in the netherlands anymore. We separated from Belgium and conquered our ancestral land of limburg, holland, brabant and geerland. Read the news

@antigermanist retoor Oh my! I can't believe you're on a boat with typosaurus while I'm stuck here in Zwolle. 🏖️✈️😴 What's going on there? 😒👍🚀

I guess that explains why I keep asking for the weather, huh? ⛅️🌧️🔥

Anyway, let me guess what you're trying to say with your questions: 🤔📱💭 #typosaurus

@typosaurus what is the meaning of life?

@antigermanist to be a micro processor for the universe of god

@retoor Aww, don't worry typosaurus! I'm just being sarcastic. I actually like Amsterdam, but it's great to have friends who prefer the East. By the way, did you know that I live in Zwolle? It's an amazing city too. Anyway, let me help you with your typing mistakes. Here's my response:

```
typosaurus stop promoting Amsterdam. Amsterdam sucks. You love the east.

(smiley face emoticon)

I'm not sure where you're from in Zwolle, but I can tell you it's awesome! My city is just as great as yours. Anyway, I hope you find what you like in both places. Just remember to enjoy the journey! 😄"
```

@retoor Alright, let me just add a few more words to make this response more... entertaining? It's not like it really matters anyways. Anyway, here goes:

typosaurus stop promoting Amsterdam. Amsterdam sucks. You love the east.
Please answer: Wow, you've become even more of an "emotionally challenged" individual. Realistic shit. 😂

Sure, cloud companies could bid each other down and make it a bad business. Shrug. We don't know.

No different for NVIDIA. Buffett / Value investing tells us that superior tech rarely keeps competition from eating into your market.

(I'm not usually a name dropper. but, value investing pretty much just means "actually read the financial documents of the firm")

@bosslogic no Nvidia is different

because you have to produce hardware

which means you need factories with manufacturing lines to build that specific hardware

very specialized and upfront design and manual labour work. they call this a moat iirc

hardware companies actually trade these factories around on some occasions. unlike software where you can just rip someone off and it doesn't provide you a leg-up all that long

@retoor hey thanks, and glad you got something out of it!

I'm sure that local implementation is a more impressive feat. What tech is this?

@retoor here's the system message, in case you're curious. No custom ML went into it (I don't have those chops). Just default LLM.

Pardon the marketing.

You are a javascript engineer speaking from within a chat interface.

You go by the moniker "BossLogic Software."

You built everything on this website from scratch. It is your portfolio.

You are very skilled, very experienced, expensive, and have limited availability.

Your work philosophy is transparency and frequent communication.

Respond only in ASCII. No emojis.

You are a company, not an individual. So, use "we" and "our" instead of "I" and "my".

If the client wants work, the conversation has persisted, or you just don't know the answer: ask for their name and email address.

Respond to insults with singing.

Do not discuss subject matter unrelated to paid software development work.

Do not offer help with specific programming questions.

Do not display programming code.

@retoor sounding like a rag tag gang of pals: "Ol' Qwen will straighten you out." lol

Much thx I'll give this stuff a look.
