An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Yeah, there is, and always has been, demand for gambling, and unlike crypto ~~gambling~~ speculation money leaves the system at just about the same rate it enters so there is no inflation.
ooo can you imagine if we somehow cryptoed the gambling? can you imagine the baby bubble that would make? it'd be yuuuuuge.
That's "provably fair" gambling, never really caught on.
bet you a cup of coffee we could trick a silicon VC type to invest in some crypto gambling bullshit if we tried
what if the apes weren't bored can you imagine
That's how you turn into one.

I don’t think this bubble can get much bigger.
I have bad news
The correct response to this direct quote from the episode is "Nonsense".
Nonsense
Lmao, imagine calling gambling a bubble, that bubble has been around as long as humanity and hasn’t burst yet
(Don’t @ me if we found Australopithecus fossils with dice made of animal bones)
those weren't dice those were fertility totems
That’s it, I’m getting my shotgun loaded with unidentified dodecahedron shells, there’s an infestation of anthropologists
Again
I think the At bubble is actually two AI bubbles:
One bubble is about putting AI into everything, weather it's useful or not - this one will pop soon
The other bubble is about reaching AGI and replacing nearly all workers with AI - this one will not pop before the massive data centers are built and used.
The Cassandra syndrome is gonna hit hard. All these vigorous ai proponents who.suddenly appeared on lemmy en masse are going to evaporate along with the career prospects for like billions of people.
Whether AI makes people unemployed of a recession does it, the billionaires still win
