This is a part of the beginning of it. Centralization results in layoffs and worse products. This is why we have antitrust laws, now they go unenforced because of corruption. AI is going to replace a lot of jobs and we're going to get shittier products while the winning corporations continue to make more money. Winner take all system is bad for everyone.

You're referring to something that is changing and getting better constantly. In the long term LLMs are going to be even better than they are now. It's ridiculous to think that it won't be able to replace any of the workers that were fired. LLMs are going to allow 1 person to do the job of multiple people. Will it replace all people? No. But even if it allows 1 person to do the job of 2 people, that's 50% of the workforce unemployed. This isn't even mentioning how good robotics have gotten over the past 10 years.

If we get another 4 years of Trump, at least we'll know why. The system just needs less people to vote for Trump to win. If we get another 4 years of Trump it's going to be Biden's fault, not mine.

Riots from a food shortage because potatoes became too cheap? Funny speculative statement. What about riots because everything is too expensive?

The amount of cash in circulation will always outstrip the amount of gold in whatever vault it been tied to.

That's... the entire fucking point. They printed away our futures, now we suffer.

GPUs are obscenely expensive

If you wrote this about 2 years ago I'd agree, but since then have crashed in price. You can get a 4060 for about $300 now.

a lot of game studios

I'd agree if you wrote "some AAA game studios".

We're in late stage capitalism. Getting rid of the gold standard was one of the biggest mistakes in US history.

You can't judge PC gaming by cherry picking shit releases. I could easily make the argument that it's the absolute best time for PC gaming.

Weird, first time I'm hearing the term "jaydriving". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-driver

Most sources indicate that the term "jay driver" came before "jaywalker" there being numerous article headlines from 1905 through the next decade that include the term "Jay Driver." Peter Norton's book Fighting Traffic on 78 indicates that in 1922 use of the term "jay driver" was an attempt by George A. Davies to use the known meaning of "jay walker" and apply it to drivers of vehicles.

I think you missed my point. The joke is the idea that one asshole driver spoils the ability to drive for anyone else, shitting on the statement "Don’t ride like an asshole or you might get ebikes banned in your area". Replace with "Don’t drive like an asshole or you might get cars banned in your area" with the same logic. Would never happen, because fuck this system and our infrastructure strictly designed to benefit oil companies.

Imagine driving like an asshole got cars banned in your area.
