B: entered before the pins 0xA-0xF twist.

30+ years experience with computing, and I hate them.

They only ever do what you tell them to, and they’re not even doing that anymore.

Advertising is one of the most prolific environmental pollutants of economic activity, and needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

He’s just come from servicing Bubba’s service member in the Situation Room, no time to reload.

I added his entire discography to my library when he died, but found I had to explicitly exclude him from my general random background playlist as it was too jarring when he popped up.

I decided to include him again about 6 months ago, and I now find him tolerable as the rest of my library has grown in size and scope.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic.

The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.

The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.

What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.

The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.

Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.

OPEC : 1973 :: JEDEC : 2025

Dig up, mate.

None of this AI grift is meant to be treated as serious.

The very foundation it’s built upon is energised sand performing explicitly and purposefully inaccurate and imprecise calculations in an explosively cascading sequence.

How better to describe the result of this than as slop?

Much like any other religious adherence, I don’t care what you believe and subject yourself to personally, but my threshold for calling out and ridiculing is the same. When those beliefs and impositions are forced on non-believers without consent, which is what’s happening from this hype cycle.

You’re defending slop, reacting like the slime in Ghostbusters.

I’d usually call you a slopvangelical LLM thumper, but I’m trying to branch out.

Yeah, you probably should.

The ectoplasm is angry.

This is just Uncle BOFH.

Obesity is a term which explicitly defines an entity which has accumulated an excess of resources, to the point of causing damage to itself and the environment it inhabits.

If obesity conjures representations of normality for you, that’s a function of the gravitational distortion inherent from your current perspective.

Finally, I invoke this notion as literally a medically morbidly obese middle aged white guy, but I’d easily pass for a medium as a Seppo.

Any reality where financial obesity can me interpreted as a positive or desirable notion must conjure other fascinating paradoxes, please tell us more…

The financially obese are weird, a perfectly cromulent framing.

I’ve used computers recreationally for 35 years, professionally for 30.

I’ve never owned a printer.

I refuse to support equipment I don’t use.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.
