tech bros .... modern day snake oil salesmen
in the 1910s it was a fast talking showmen on a soapbox saying he can cure galloping consumption with heroin
in the 1970s we saw them as fast talking car salesmen with checkered suits
in the 2020s they'll be identified as CEOs in t-shirts and jeans
Nah, snake oil salesman actually look dandy, tech bros are just ugly.

Techbros.
I don't think there are any real techbros on Lemmy. They have to go to the crowd to signal, which is Twitter, Linkedin, and sometimes YouTube I guess.
There are lots and lots of AI enthusiast tech bro communities on lemmy.
Its also how capitalists talk about capitalism
Tech people haven't noticed AI grow over time because it continues being slow. They've noticed continued creative use of Markov chains, though.
Every time it happens the computer is super duper smart and magical and stuff. But we've done this so many times now. Processor speeds increase > math from 1903 can be done faster > company incorporates it into everyday stuff and gets rich > people slowly realise it's not actually magic.
The first chain was literally a language model ffs and they barely had electricity.

Grow or die. Tech’s endgame is Logan’s Run (book version), actually.
Who has a wreath on their door for 3 months?
Parents of a 3 month old who aren't quite sure what day/week/month it is.
(In the US) If it wasn't for Halloween being the other holiday people make their whole personality, Christmas would've bled into 6 months by now. As it is, some people end Halloween straight into Christmas.
My Christmas tree is still up from last year.
This is also anyone selling speculation
So... the entire stock market?
