Please like our Al bro This is the last time bro. So many possibilities bro. Its the future bro. Just need you to like it bro. We worked real hard bro. Our stockholders need this one bro.
This, nfts, metaverse, it feels like recently all tech innovations are driven by speculative value, instead of actually offering something that meaningfully impacts lives. Are we really in a post problem world?
If you follow Cathode Ray Dude at all, he sums it up perfectly. We had our technological peak about 2010/2012. Almost anything the majority of humans do can be done fine on computers from that era or even before (IF the OS vendor didn't purposely make it bloated to run slower, ie Ios, android, osx, windows). Put linux on a laptop from 2007 and i almost guarantee 99% of humans wont complain. The problem is ceos demand FEATURES because LINE MUST GO UP!!! Except now instead of features, its stealing more and more of our data so they can sell it back to us once they shutter yhe free internet.
