because they need houses to keep going up

>>55296820
when they talk about efficiency they're talking about the capitalist class's ability to more efficiency extract value from the worker. kind of like how farming is so unprofitable that the government has to subsidize it with tax dollars and allow for unskilled retard brownoid H2-A labor -- but no one except the jewish corporations that own corporate farms are coming out ahead. farmers are poor and consumers are actually paying more inflation-adjusted money for food over time. really makes you think.

>>55296820
Because when EVERYBODY in the job market outputs more product, it doesn't make sense to compensate based on productivity. Just like when everybody is rich, then nobody is rich.

>>55296820
The elite gaslight the public that they are evil and need to give up their “gluttonous” standard of living because they are destroying the planet and are the reason for the suffering of the 3rd world and that we are obligated for the sake of equality, equity and reparations to increase their standards of living at the cost of our own.

better question is, why NVDIA's market cap is double what it is while we haven't even achieved AGI to justify it's price. Are we in a bubble?

Why doesn't everyone just stop working? If the population isn't happy with things, revolt. It's literally that easy.

>>55297136
>Are we in a bubble?
Yes and no. Demand has increased because of AI. Look at all the subsets that have popped up in the last two years, not just image, text, video, and music generation, but companies trying to use it to automate drive-trus, etc. However, yes because it is also based on speculation that this demand will continue to increase.

>10 people, each can cut trees with axes with the speed of cutting down and working on the tree so it can be used for something so that each gets 1 tree downed and worked on per day
>10 people, each have the best tools imaginable, they can cut down and work on the tree so that each can get 100 trees per day
>somehow the latter group is not richer since "everyone is rich so no one is" even though they now have 10000% larger productivity and can build huge fucking houses in short time
The mentality "if everyone is rich, no one is" only works when you think purely in terms of fiat money. If there are 100 people and you have 100 dollars, the small things cost 1 cent. If you have 100 people and 10000 dollars, the small things cost 1 dollar.The reality is that the people owning the factories are getting the profit and also the financial "industry" is fucking stealing from everyone constantly so that the 1% gets everything and the rest get shit. If the nation is more productive then the nation should get more products. If they don't, that means someone else is stealing the fruits of the labour. Now of course just being productive aka making hamburgers very fast or waiting tables very fast is different than having real industry.

>>55297256
If demand continues to increase and practical applications of AI continue to expand. no u, disregard you.

>>55297256
>>55297177
exactly. I do say, it is fair to give NVDA maybe 500m-750m. I rather would see actual money being sent to actual AI and robotics companies, which I've checked haven't been pumping that much.
But what I've noticed are companies just name dropping the AI meme. I've been seeing the most unrelated crap saying "we use AI, but our stock!!" It's like the IoT bubble, where every fucking device has to be connected to the internet.

>>55296820
There's a lot of criminals, welfare dependents, and bullshit government jobs soaking up the increased productivity.

>>55297307
even if AI demand does grow exponentially that doesn't make NVIDIA worth 1 trillion dollars, not even close.
The AI mania was perhaps the easiest bubble to spot in a while.

>>55297098
Now let's see that on the log scale.

>>55297289
>The mentality "if everyone is rich, no one is" only works when you think purely in terms of fiat money

No. Even in a deflationary money system, nobody has the capital edge if everybody has the same amount of money. On the other hand, everybody's purchasing power is getting stronger because of the deflationary system. Thus, our services will get us less amount of money.
If I get a new machine to cut hair, which boosts productivity, and everybody gets one too, our output and income will not budge since the demand remains stagnant. The only thing that will advance our business is if other companies stay behind and lose customers.

>>55296820
Because the theory that we will eventually reach some point where the benefits of technology outweigh the negatives is a mistaken one. For every problem solved by a new technology, multiple others are created. Technology enforces slavery.

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>>55298164
With every bit of technology comes 1000 Indian call centers using it to to scam elders and retards.
Either nuke India or get rid of boomers

>>55298191
You have no idea how much worse it's going to get in the coming decades. There are entire countries just now getting widespread internet and smartphone access and many more that don't have it yet but will later this century. If you think the internet is bad now, just wait until another billion third worlders get dropped into it.

>>55296820

Technology is deflationary. It makes goods and services easier and faster to produce, and makes them higher quality. This is why poor people in America today have goods and services beyond the wildest dreams of the wealthy of 100 years ago, not to mention why obesity is what kills poor people instead of starvation. So yes, technology should have reduced the need for work for everyone.

Some claim this is offset by the fact that everyone is comparatively richer, but that's not accurate. Again, poor people today have access to food in quantities beyond the dreams of the middle class of a century ago. You can obtain more stuff with less effort, which should have a deflationary effect.

Truth is that constant money printing has offset that deflation, while unsustainable population growth (mostly from immigration, though the same would have happened with zero immigration if people had continued to have 5 or 6 kids each) have driven up the demand for certain goods that are difficult to make more of: namely, prestigious positions, ownership of prestigious land, and prestigious degrees. Basically exclusive luxury goods. Sure, hypothetically everyone can get a top-flight education online for free, but the *prestige* still belongs to limited-space universities. Hypothetically we could turn swamp into nice neighborhoods, but there's only *one* Beverly Hills. So those prices climb inexorably up, while money printing makes everything else climb up, too.

Consumption creep is a real thing. If you make 5K a year you adapt to a 5K a year consumption pattern. once you make 10K you switch and you simply buy more expensive versions of the things you used to before. Better clothes, better sodas, better shoes, etc. That keeps going all the way to when you're so rich that you can buy anything you want. You'll eventually be rich enough to afford a lambo but then you just compare it to vintage lambos or custom tuned lambos and so on. The you can afford yachts and then you start thinking about getting big yachts with bigger pools and then a helipad and so on.

for fuck sake I'm currently in the process of hawving to talk myself out of buying a silver plated copper cooking set that'll runt me 1000 dollars or so even though all that's really wrong with the stuff I have right now is that the handles on my sauce pans are a bit lose.

>>55298665
Speak for yourself consoomer. In 2018 I was making $14,000 a year street perfoming and wheatpasting concert posters. Now I'm making $143k as a software engineer. I didn't get into dev work to buy a silver plated cooking set, though. I got into it to stack cash and investments. And now, about 3 years into it, I've increased my savings from $16k to $152k and am saving about 71% of my post tax income. I still live poor. Not quiet as poor as when I was only making $14k a year, but pretty damn close. I'd much rather flex a big investment portfolio than cookware.

>>55296820
Because of greedy fuckers

>>55296820
Technology creates more goods faster. The problem we have is that with that increased supply our population grows faster meaning any sort of supply benefit gained (having to work less) is completely lost because now there is more demand. Basically people need to stop having so many children, but they won't because 90% of them are sub 100 iq retards who can't go 5 seconds without thinking with their genitals.

Of course you do, because you're a flexer. You couldn't add to the discussion so you made it about how much of a better person you are than me an dhow you make a lot of money and how your flexes are better than mine. Because you don't even consider the fact that the reason I'd buy the cookware is because I just want to have good quality cookware that'll help me cook food better, all you see is someone trying to flex and taking it as a chance to flex even harder.

Competition still exists between nations and empires committed to diametrically opposed worldviews, and these institutions require you to want to win in order to keep the game going and get ahead. Please get back to work

I live in a europoor shithole and the only way you can starve/freeze to death is getting lost in the woods. I know plenty of people that don't even work 40h a week and are doing just fine.

The bit about "needing to work 60 hours a wee just so we don't starve and freeze to death" is patently false and ridiculous, so the rest of this shit can just be dismissed out of hand.

Capitalism was unironically a mistake

Because there's overpopulation

inb4 some emotional reaction because the topic makes you uncomfortable

>>55296820
The technology is getting there, but we still don't have the resources. Everything is still limited, especially luxuries, and especially when you consider there are more and more people being lifted out of poverty in Asia and Africa and they all want luxuries/Western lifestyle too. Supply is simply not keeping up with demand, so so we have to work to pay the premium to get the stuff we want.

>>55302415
it doesn't make me uncomfortable, it's simply not true that there's overpopulation in any sense of the word

>>55296820

>wife is miserable but her team is slowly turning against new manager

Is there anything that can be done here besides quitting? Her entire team hates this boss so I'm wondering if there is some HR strategy to play here. Could they collectively just submit complaints to HR to get her fired?

So tired of women managers. Never again.

No it isn't. If you're happy with a tiny shack, no modern utilities and luxuries, basic food, entertaining yourself with nature, you can quite literally live off of $1k per month. Everybody else is working hard to live richly and modernly you don't get to have that just for existing.

Technology has undoubtedly brought significant progress and convenience. It has enhanced communication, expanded access to information, and improved efficiency in many areas. However, the extent to which technology can bring freedom is influenced by how it is harnessed and utilized by society.

One reason why technology may not have led to absolute freedom is that it often reflects and amplifies existing social, economic, and political structures. In other words, technology itself is not inherently liberating or oppressive; its impact depends on how it is integrated into our lives and the systems in which we operate.

Moreover, the unequal distribution of technology and digital access remains a significant challenge. While many people in developed countries have benefited from technological advancements, there are still significant disparities worldwide. Economic inequalities, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to education hinder the realization of technology's potential as a tool for liberation.

Additionally, technological progress can have unintended consequences. Issues such as privacy concerns, increased surveillance, and the influence of powerful corporations highlight the need for responsible and ethical development and use of technology. Balancing technological innovation with ethical considerations is essential to ensure that advancements are aligned with the principles of freedom and well-being.

Ultimately, achieving freedom is a complex endeavor that involves societal, cultural, and political dimensions. Technology can be a powerful tool in this pursuit, but it must be accompanied by efforts to address systemic issues and promote inclusivity, equality, and justice. By critically examining and actively shaping the societal impact of technology, we have the potential to unlock greater freedom and positive transformation in the future.

This is because humans self organize into competition-based hierarchies, a behavior we developed as we evolved. We form tiered social structures and provide exponential rewards for valuable work/behaviors. The outcome of this is an elite class forms, some who rise up with social skill and others through merit-based skill, who together gain outsized resources. This is advantageous because we want those with valuable productive skills to continue exercising those skills, and we want those with social skills to continue using them to reduce conflict and keep the tribe oriented on goals and collective purpose.

In the modern era we've gone from tribal elders and skilled craftsmen having multiple wives and plenty to eat to uber-billionares who are serial philanderers and have more money than they could spend in multiple lifetimes but the concept is the same.

Everyone is most definitely unequal. This isn't because of capitalism, it's because we're human. The same thing happens in communism, or in socialism, or any other ideological structure. Humans will game whatever system is imposed in them as best they can and they will form a hierarchy. There will always be insiders and outsiders, elites and common folk, and anyone who thinks they can legislate or legalize away these fundamental structures is a complete idiot.

Capitalism is full of flaws, injustices, and inefficiencies, but it best channels our natural behaviors in a way that best raises the standard for everyone and provides the most opportunity for advancement while doing the least damage to individuals.

>Dude invented cool rock

Why do these people throw out these moronic words like "Supercomputers" and "smart robotics" like they're magic wands you can wave to make problems go away? Supercomputers are big fancy rocks. Smart robots are big fancy rocks. A supercomputer doesn't identify and figure out how to solve problems in a vacuum. It requires someone to deploy and maintain the supercomputer, and that person needs food.

Wanting technology to free you from labor has literally NOTHING to do with whether or not technology can free you from labor, just like me wanting a cute big tiddie goth girlfriend has no logical connection to whether or not I will get a cute big tiddie goth girlfriend. Sitting on twitter bitching and moaning about how you shouldn't have to work is idiotic. The technology exists. You are still required to work. QED these are not technologies that eliminate the necessity of work.

In fact, the likely and logical conclusion of this observation, as this anon >>55311480 points out, is that we will probably NEVER eliminate the need or desire for labor because the requirement for people to labor has literally nothing to do with resource access. It has to do with competition and status hierarchies.

Think about it logically. By sheer GDP, we can ALL afford to live at the standard of a 12th century peasant. We choose not to do so, and have instead prioritized certain modes of living and products that are needed to preserve those modes of living. Even the existence of fucking insulation in homes is a bizarre modern luxury compared to the historical practice of using wall rugs, fires, and heavy clothing to maintain warmth in the winter. We have collectively experienced lifestyle creep and now when we're told to live on our means like we did 100 years ago we whine about oppression.

You point out many advances we have made but use no imagination on what we could be without a pack of psychopathic control freaks leech class that designed this system to be in.

How about those world wars past hundred years very advanced and “civilized” right? You proud of your leaders huh?

>>55296820
We are addicted to it, that's why.

The first step to solving a problem, is observing it.

> Try doing nothing for a little bit, let your mind think freely about whatever you want.
> Don't suppress your thoughts, but let them fade away naturally.
> If you have a fear or worry, disassociate from it. Step back, and look at it like an object.
> Ask it why it's there. Give it a voice, pretend it has something to say.
> Separate the good from the bad, the practical from the useless, and the truth from the lies.
> Embrace double think, and find the intersect of truth.
> Let the impractical beliefs fade away naturally, no longer relevant.

You will see two things:
One is a more accurate truth, a more reasonable idea to believe.
The other, is who has been lying to you.

Be aware of how long we look through our black mirrors, and who controls the reflections.
Cure yourself of this media induced schizophrenia.
And make sure you take your real reflection into account.

When everyone is acting irrational, it is everybody's responsibility to rationalize each other.
Game theory requires rational actors.

Embrace the chaotic mind and settle it.
Become a shadow priest.

Shine a light for others, to uncover those covert hands.
Cast your own shadows, and conjure your own beasts.
Show the true nature of those shadow puppets.

Manifest an ego for the public consciousness, then balance it carefully.
Too much, and destroy yourself.
Too little, and be destroyed.

I got carried away. I might be terminally online.

Well your advice seems to be bend over and get used to it, not sure what to tell you, worm boy

>>55296820
Because get to work wagie.

That's an Olive Nigga, dummy.

Stop talking to me, I don’t talk to trannies or faggots, thanks punk

>>55297782
why would population be logarithmic?

>>55311571
Why don’t you address my comment on bill gates profiting 20 billion on the plandemic? Can’t defend that you spineless worm?

>>55311600

I'll repeat myself, what does your alternative system/society look like? I'll wait, let's hear your full thoughts on the subject.

>>55311613
It's okay I'm into it, please snuff out a cigar with my forehead. <3

>>55311637
I just mentally obliterated you, fuck off agent

>>55311637
See that’s the problem, you can’t think for yourself

You want me or bill gates to create your world

>>55311134
I don't like the system. I like hard work. Imagine being so arrogant and short sighted you completely ignore human nature. Even when you have a Space Car1000 or some shit, you'll still be pissed someone else has a Space Car2000. Then that system will have be destroyed too.

>>55311650
>>55311664

Lol

>>55311679
Anything other than a system where a billionaire like hell gates makes another 20 billion off a plandemic and people like you champion that, I’ll take any other system for 100 alex

>>55311707

Thanks for your detailed and thoughtful analysis anon I'll definitely take this under consideration after I take Mr. Gates big throbbing cock tonight

>>55311731
It’s all jokes to an unaware peon like you, sad man you might like real life as a man discovering truth…but most likely you’d crumble so I’ll spare you from more wisdom

>>55296820
>Why didn't technology free us?
Remember the Jetsons? Economists in the 1960's knew advances in productivity due to automation / computers would save billions of dollars. They assumed this money would get passed on to employees, but Bezos, Gates, and Musk kept all the wealth for themselves.

They only give us enough technology that they can maintain control over.

We may have the internet now to speak, but they are harvesting data and learning us better as well , while everyone gets hooked on it they’ll spring the trap at the right time

>>55311571
The focus is on the massive concentration of wealth because it’s NOT necessary for innovation AND breeds greedy psychopathic control freaks with too much power

You guys ever think about how a nation can create a group, that's main purpose is to cast shadows in front of influential people with a large audience?

You don't have to persuade the whole country, just persuade the loudest people with the most connections.
Spam an idea in the comments.
Find the games they play and post that idea in the chat.
Even try to show up on their streams and plant a seed in their head.

How could a bot farm manipulate the algorithm, to get certain types of people to see certain content?

Could a bitmap image be created with Photoshop, that inflicts "brain damage" on the viewer?

Food for thought. Ideas can be contagious. Ideological small pox blankets.
Read Snow Crash. Rationalize this idea out of the Sci-Fi realm.
Not everybody realizes this.

So like Plato’s cave

>>55296820
Fiat is inflationary and works against technology, which is deflationary. That's why you should own bitcoin, as the price of everything will fall against it.

Like this? On top of incentivizing/threatening professionals

>>55312314
>>55312253
Yes. Exactly like these things.

That is why you should focus on things nearby, and do what you can locally to influence people.

Leave trails of information for people to educate themselves on what you believe online, small seeds for your ideology.
Take seeds from things you want to consider, toss them if they end up being weeds.

If you hate the "What is a boy/girl" argument, try and twist logic around to rationalize the other side.
If you have strong opinions about orange man, see if you can play devils advocate for the opposing view.

You can consider everything you see without believing it.
Just like how you can believe the "Nigerian Prince" up until they ask you to do something or give up your information.

Keep in mind, people can figure things out about you through side channel.
Keep good opsec, but everyone goes to the doctor and has that one relative who posts everything online.
Every data dump is connected to you in some way.
We're gonna have to deal with being borderline naked when it comes to privacy for the rest of our lives.

The best defense I can think of, is to spam a bunch of fake and misleading information about yourself to muddy the water, but even then that can be used against you somehow.

Start clicking on things you aren't actually interested in?
Visit sites you normally wouldn't?

Idk.

>>55296820
It's because we have giant governments we can't afford lmao. How is this not the standard view btw?

>>55296820
We are not working to have an ez life
You are working to give your boss and slightly advantage above my boss

And there's always that guy in the school who enjoys working extra hours therefore the human will always be enslaved by the boss abd the bitches

>>55312589
Man. If only we had smaller pieces of the country that could focus on a select area, instead of a giant federal one that tries to control more than it can handle. Maybe we could break those up into smaller ones too.

What are those called again?

>>55296820
we keep importing people to more than offset any population decrease while our natural resources decline. nothing computers can do about that

>>55296820
Why can’t I just live in a pod and eat bugs? Why do I have to fucking DO STUFF

>>55298641
>Technology is deflationary. It makes goods and services easier and faster to produce, and makes them higher quality
Have you even bought a normal pack of tomatoes from your generic food chain store? It is unflavored, hormones-pumped garbage.

>>55311770
a true schizo showed up on biz huh. shouldnt you be spamming in your xrp containment thread or /pol/? communism would spread that money to maybe a few leaders of the only (not one of two) ruling political party and also without family and good friends you would starve because the system doesnt allow freely making money, thats what capitalist pigs do

>>55296820
You don't need to work to not starve and freeze to death.

food for common people has always been watered down, water in the beer, chalk in the flour etc. a little potassium sorbate is a historical high point in median food quality

It wasn't meant to free you

fake numbers, it's 1.5 billion max

Because AI will always be wielded not by those with knowledge, intellect or skills, but those with power or money.

>>55296820
The problem is not technology, or no technology. It's wage labor.
Thinking technology will free people, instead of changing the relationship of production.
