The #Enshittification of the American Hamburger
China blocked Argentinian beef for chloramphenicol, Europe blocked Brazilian beef for food safety reasons, and now Trump is importing it all to the US. But don't expect prices to fall much, the monopoly distributers will pocket the savings.Matt Stoler is my favorite blogger.

The idea that the gross over investment in technology is the solution to all our problems, is delusional on the grandest scale of delusions!
Also used as an argument to secure its boom is that new technology like Ai and AGi is inevitable and necessary to obtain a competitive advantage.
What is not much advertised, discussed, challenged and acted on are the current social, environmental, political and economic costs of the deregulated markets responsible for pushing the MAD investments of and in the technology of antitrust monopolies. They continue to undermine the benefits that result from democratic mediation, rights of diverse interests, peace, security, wellbeing and the flourishing that you get with ending the growth in inequality and injustice that their corporate sovereignty profits from! #Philosophy #Technology #ai #AGi #deregulation #Markets #MAD #antitrust #monopolies #corporatesovereignty #Delusions

#GenAI is going to get cheaper and already has gotten cheaper.An 8b parameter #llama3 model performs better than GPT3 which had 175 billion parameters.
You can run a moderately degraded (4bit or 8bit instead of native) Llama3-8b on a top of the line gaming rig, or a $800 ATX.
#Generative_AI is being promoted as dangerous by #BigTech specifically to force people to use the #MegaCorp #monopolies
In fact, the fact that #Generative #AI gets exponentially more expensive for a linear gain in performance implies that it's _not_ going to get more expensive.
