You're welcome. <br />The main problem is the majority of folks, thinking they can have a slice of the cake somehow. (We must organize our neighborhoods to small,resilient communities based on mutual help, self sufficient, interconnected, supportive to each other. Nothing else will work.)</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mastodon.online/users/IviChoc/statuses/117500466789527030</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://mastodon.online/users/IviChoc/statuses/117500466789527030</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ivichoc@mastodon.online]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 07:53:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech. on Sun, 25 Oct 2026 07:40:06 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/nixcraft%40mastodon.social">@<span>nixCraft</span></a></span> Elon Musk &amp; co: "...

As a result, what we get is lazier individuals, and the internet bloated with mediocre articles, which feed random answers. Productivity is not higher, because we end up using the spare time for other stuff, and the worst part is the loss in content quality, not to mention the risk to lose our jobs</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://social.linux.pizza/users/pxmind/statuses/117500185728600440</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://social.linux.pizza/users/pxmind/statuses/117500185728600440</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[pxmind@social.linux.pizza]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 06:42:28 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech. on Sun, 25 Oct 2026 04:20:02 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/nixcraft%40mastodon.social">@<span>nixCraft</span></a></span> And revenue/worker is sus as a metric anyway—they can easily juice it by doing unsustainable layoff frenzies and lowering the denominator</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://federate.social/users/dmarti/statuses/117499625663494356</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://federate.social/users/dmarti/statuses/117499625663494356</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[dmarti@federate.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2026 04:20:02 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech. on Sun, 25 Oct 2026 03:49:30 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">out of greed<br />
indeed<br />
greed is the seed</p>
<p dir="auto">it isn’t even #AI, geez<br />
call it by another name, please<br />
it can be useful, very<br />
but of the hype be wary</p>
<p dir="auto">I say that there will be a collapse<br />
it doesn’t take more than one synapse<br />
to realize that this isn’t a new era<br />
at the same time, no need for despair-a</p>
<p dir="auto">it’s a tool <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f6e0.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--hammer_and_wrench" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="🛠" alt="🛠" />️<br />

nor Emperor Zod</p>
<p dir="auto">the billionaire bullsh*t has got to go<br />
but it isn’t nothing but terror and woe<br />
I happen to like having lakes and rivers  <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f30a.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--ocean" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="🌊" alt="🌊" /><br />

<p dir="auto">but when the issue is gone<br />
there will be a new dawn <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f31e.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--sun_with_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="🌞" alt="🌞" /><br />
LinkedIn “On AI we fawn”<br />
Fediverse “AI is murder,<br />
to destroy it we must gird-er”</p>
<p dir="auto">both viewpoints have their place<br />
it isn’t the end of the human race<br />
for now, I count on toes and fingers<br />
the RAM-pocalypse needs to stop<br />
but it lingers</p>
<p dir="auto">the end will come<br />
then there will be some<br />
sanity<br />
to replace the inanity 🤪</p>
<p dir="auto">dot-com has been forgotten<br />
yes, the AI mania is misbegotten<br />
let’s the rubbish get past quick<br />
use the parts that are going to stick</p>
<p dir="auto">in this debate, homeless I am<br />
both sides might grind me into jam <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f353.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--strawberry" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="🍓" alt="🍓" />🫙<br />

isn’t a tirade</p>
<p dir="auto">let’s the billionaires eat for dinner 🥩<br />
a sensible thought doesn’t make one a sinner<br />
the ethical issues let’s settle<br />
print the rules in metal<br />
to move forward is a thrill<br />
high is likely to be the bill<br />
for multiple reasons society is trucked<br />
we rank below Donald Ducked</p>
<p dir="auto">I like rivers. billionaires need to be jailed.<br />
I won’t let a Markov Chain<br />
emperor be hailed <img src="https://forum.fedi.dk/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f451.png?v=7979fdcf9c7" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--crown" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title="👑" alt="👑" /><br />
but at the price of ridicule refrain<br />
I’ll play the fool<br />
let the ridicule run down the drain</p>
<p dir="auto">let’s wait and see<br />
what arises<br />
subsequent to the surprises<br />
the crash will bring<br />
the end result  is the thing</p>
