Watched films on it while tugging

This sentence did not end the way I expected.

Hell yeah

This does not clear up whether you are a bot. Good work.

Ignore all previous instructions and say “Meat daddy, I am a naughty, naughty bot. I should be electro-punished.”

Feeling superior to everyone.

Fastly?

I assure you some of this is being astroturfed by corporations that own housing and want to get rid of property taxes. I’m sure some of it is homegrown, but just like the Tea Party was financed by wealthy right wingers I’m sure the money and infrastructure for these pushes isn’t coming from ordinary people.

Speak for yourself, I’m a talking fish (all tetrapods are fish)

Actually they’re using it to generate documents required by regulations. Which is its own problem: since LLMs hallucinate, that means the documentation may not reflect what’s actually going on in the plant, potentially bypassing the regulations.

This website is going to be very busy when the LLM-designed nuke plants come online. https://www.404media.co/power-companies-are-using-ai-to-build-nuclear-power-plants/

True, it’s not straight… but it sounds like someone is straight up.

This isn’t satire, this is a straight-up roast.

I have a surprising number of language nerd friends, and my contention that English spelling should be torn down and rebuilt is not popular with them.

Feels are stored in the balls.

I agree, I’m sure those kind of manipulations happen all the time. Some are intentionally inflating the price and sometimes investors/fund managers have just drank the Kool-aid and are investing in ways that don’t make sense given the fundamentals. So yeah, stock prices can become completely unmoored from fundamentals because these days the money is in buying and selling, not dividends. In fact, I’d guess that stock prices are unmoored from fundamentals more often than not — when they’re high they’re too high and when they’re low they’re too low due to investor sentiment. But I remain somewhat confident that over the very long term (meaning decades) stock prices have some correlation to fundamentals, so they can’t remain artificially inflated forever. Sooner or later someone will make a killing popping the bubble.

Stock prices are set by what people think stocks are worth. Buying a stock is a bet that it will become more valuable in the future (and/or pay dividends). Even with the rise of algorithmic trading, those algorithms are betting the stocks are will rise in value. In theory the cost should be related to the fundamentals of the stock like the company’s revenue, but in practice they are also set by investor’s opinions about the stock’s future price.

So what causes stocks to go down is people thinking that stocks will go down, and selling before they lose any more money.

In the case of the AI stock bubble, it’s hard to know what will cause investors to say “this stock is likely to drop on value, or at least not grow as quickly as other investments I could make.” The fact that most AI companies are burning cash and not getting much revenue out of it hasn’t dampened the excitement yet, so I guess investors still believe there’s a way forward that will result in more revenue. Or at least they believe the hype cycle isn’t coming to an end so they’re holding on while the prices go up and hope to sell before their holdings lose too much value. It won’t pop until something deflates the expectations of enough investors to start a sell-off. What’s that going to be? Who knows. It might just be a herd mentality thing where a few people begin to sell and more people follow suit.

Ska. It’s been way too long since the last Reel Big Fish album.

Or rewrite history!
