  1. @tizilogic I’ll take that to be a rhetorical question or a form of sarcasm aimed at the #AISlop industry. I on the other hand can think of many practical uses for such infrastructure, none of which include #LLM #GenAISlop hosting.

    PS. It is worth noting that #ComputingInfrastructure has a limited number of years for #ROI (as short as five years) before it is superceded by cheaper, faster, better technology. I cannot see #TechBros achieving anything near the #profits requried to pay for all their *gear* within such a short time frame. They will bleed #cash and #crash before those 5 years are out IMHO — maybe a little longer if financial #markets find other ways to hide the accumulating #debt with some new *derivatives* clever enough to dupe #finance #speculators and the financial #press.

  2. In less than a year, the #Republican Party is driving a #record number of #bankruptcies across #agriculture, #apparel, #retail, #banking, #realestate, #health, #manufacturing and #technology spaces.

    The #GOP is #crushing #American #business, and #Americans, while a handful of #speculators, #fraudsters and #traitorous #criminals become rich beyond dreams of avarice.

  3. BoT ought to revise #exchangerate #policy
    "BoT bought up $5.8b in July, $6b in Aug, & $2.6b in 1H Sept.. danger of this is foreign #speculators wld be loaded w #Thai baht #BoT used to purchase $s fr.. Some 17% of 🇹🇭 #exports go to US & 12% go to PRC.. BoT might be better off focus'g on these 2 currencies iso stabilising NEER & REER. Thai banks had $31b & Thai corps had $123b in #foreigndebt.. equiv to 64% of 🇹🇭gross intl reserve. Tt is a threat to #Thailand's LT #stability"

  5. Serious #question : Are there any #blockchain #applications or #apps out there doing anything more than providing a sketchy platform for #currency #speculators? Is there anything people or organizations are using the #technology for that we can say is worthwhile, sustainable and legitimately creating #value ?

  6. Bitcoin uses some #eWaste, that can be #recycled.

    Housing #speculators waste entire homes and #land that could be #urbanFarms, demand constant govt support, #helpToBuy schemes, #propertySpruiking seminars to indoctrinate #youth, extreme levels of #immigration and bombing to make #refugees and other #handouts to prop up the #ponzi, wasting needed resources and #energy.

    Tell us again where big bad #bitcoin bit you.

    Housing #speculators waste entire homes, and #land for #urbanFarms, who demand constant govt support, #helpToBuy schemes, #propertySpruiking seminars to indoctrinate youth, extreme levels of #immigration and bombing to make #refugees and other #grants and #handouts to prop up the #ponzi, wasting precious resources and energy.

  8. DID YOU KNOW: #TheOlympics is a #gentrifiers wet-dream and does more to hurt people and entrench privilege and access, than most other global events.

    Its not something we can sustain, especially not in its current form.

    There are cases in which removing the #tree is necessary, but too many times its an overzealous #treefeller that exaggerates risks.

    We used to respect tree fellers but its getting more difficult.

    Also #privateEquity firms and #speculators with more money than sense raze all #trees and shrubs on a block, leaving it vacant and #baronLand for literally decades.

    In this instance, though, a lean towards the house, *maybe* it was justified.

    If other trees in proximity, might be okay too.

    All these good people not using #USD and not supporting the #humanTrafficking, #weaponsSales to extremist groups, #assasinations, and wealthTransfer to #speculators

    …you must be stopped, forthwith!

    May the #moneyPrinterGoBrr.

    Extreme levels of #immigration always favours the extremely wealthy.

    More local #consumers to sell to and lower wages, its a win-win for the #corporates. In #Australia, we typically had #GerryHarvey, #RealEstate moguls and #BigConstruction, #speculators and #universities pining for extreme numbers of people to be pumped in.

    Whether by bombing their country (aka so-called #PushFactors) or #PullFactors like our "WorldClass" #coffeeshops and glass-and-steel living styles.

  12. 2/2

    What's really egregious are the #kleptocrats and #sophists the #CorporateState chose to head the report — individuals that got us into this mess!

    See #InnesWillox, shill for glorified #PropertyDevelopers (we mean #universites), the #MigrationCouncil and other #speculators and #rentseekers. Two years ago, he was all too happy to make us vulnerable.

    Four Corners did a good job of highlighting others on the "commission".

    Well done, Four Corners! Maybe, the last #journalists in Australia.

    You'd have thought that post-COVID, govts would know better than to indulge the #gentrifiers, #rentSeekers, and #speculators, but no.

    At least in #Australia the #oligarchs are marching ahead with their destructive, #highrise third-worldisation process.

    Most so-called leaders in this country are rentSeekers themselves or sychophants to their #corporateDonors.

  14. Funny how #townPlanners in #Australia keep pointing to #Europe as an example of #highDensity done right, and so they work on plans for 10-storey #highrise buildings. But many of these so-called "#planners" and #policyMakers are ***from*** Europe (#China to a lesser extent).

    If #gentrification is so great, why didn't they stay there?

  15. Does anyone on #Fedi actually believe that a #debtJubilee is a good idea?

    Our opinion is that rewarding #speculators (and punishing the #saver even futher) will create the most perverse of #incentives.

    Maybe its just us, though…
