Jim surviving the AI layoffs

Talked to an autistic student today. PC specs are a great interest of his. I told him how a bit more than 10 years ago I was building a PC and didn’t want to pay 300€ for a gtx 970 because that was just too much money for a GPU. Got an R9 280X instead because that was a bit over 200€. My entire build cost me 800€ back then. Good times.

One crypto mania and an AI bubble later and you’d be happy to get a midrange GPU for 600 bucks and you’d suck some dicks behind a dumpster to get 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

Well first of all it’s just easier storage for mid-high amounts of cash. It’ll take almost double the volume to keep the same amount in 50’s and takes twice as long to count so if someone does pay for something expensive in cash, 100’s are a lot more practical.

The other aspect I wouldn’t neglect is inflation. Today’s 50s will be 100s in a few decades so those bills will become a lot more relevant.

“This cooperation allowed us to reach our first $1 trillion funding goal that was necessary to reach the next step of our early access journey.”

I mean we once had a student argue that it should be allowed to send nuclear waste to “some African shit hole country” to get rid of it. An AI won’t answer this appropriately because it isn’t allowed to start an answer with “listen here, cuntface”.

If it calms you, I think it’d be hard to start a fire with a 3060 even if you wanted to.

I like that you guys assume after I wake up as an attack helicopter I’d just go to my regular day job and then get overwhelmed with my new grocery bill.

Oh no, I can’t fit through my apartment door and my rotors keep shredding through my jackets.

That’s a wild interpretation of my post. Her inability to lose was merely a symptom. A warning sign that indicates missing coping mechanisms. In my opinion ignoring this is a bad idea. I let kids win a lot btw because there’s only so much frustration tolerance you can expect from a child but if they have none whatsoever you better try your best to help them build it up.

It’s very possible the parents didn’t have any chance of guiding her through those early years without those severe mental health issues surfacing later but most therapists will tell you that you have the best chances if you tackle these issues early instead of letting them dig their trenches deeper.

Acquaintance’s kid was the worst case of sore loser I’ve ever seen. Her parents would always let her win. Eventually she refused to play games with anyone but her parents because she was too afraid of losing. I’d visit and she wouldn’t even want to play fully random games like uno.

Kid’s been in and out of psych wards throughout her teenage years. It’s possible that underlying mental health predisposition caused her behavior but I think giving in to it only hardened those pathways in her head over the years. It’s vital to learn how to lose and still enjoy yourself.

I’m sorry I can’t hear you over my M230 30mm Chain Guns

wake up as an apache attack helicopter

Yes, yeeees, YEEEEEEES! BRATATATATATATA

DRIFT KING

I’ve done it with less

YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

Someone will end up making a post about accidentally shocking a small cylinder.

I know two girls who’d be interested in this kind of science.
