VCs are so absurdly dumb, it’s mind-boggling. Absolute toddler brains that will be amazed by the slightest bit of flattery combined with jingling car keys in front of their idiotic faces. If every single VC dropped dead tomorrow, it would literally just be a net positive for the world, which is not something you can say about many jobs.

The egg card in Balatro gains 3 dollars of value per round, which you can redeem by selling the card. This card has the eternal tag which means it cannot be sold, and the rental tag, which means it costs 3 dollars per round just to have in your hand. In effect, this card earns money that you can’t access while charging you money for the privilege of doing so, and also prvents you from doing something more productive with the joker slot. – It’s effectively a parasite
Yeah but if you get the ceremonial knife you can get rid of it and it becomes useful… wait we might be onto something here
Knife doesn’t eat eternal jokers unfortunately
Pirate joker tho
Hey AI plumber, the AI drywallers covered your domestic water before you tested it. What do you AI do about?
pulling my phone out to tell grok to roto-root my toilet again
Tesla’s humanoid robo plumber shows up, walks directly into a wall, and catches on fire. The clogged pipe is no longer a problem because your house burned down.
reports it as a success in his statistics.The robot turns off autopilot moments before the accident, allowing it to claim it technically wasn’t responsible.
Who’s gonna buy your shit?
The invisible hand
The contradictions are sharpening
Tech companies don’t even sell products, it’s all speculative value
Yeah but that value COMES from somewhere. You speculate on the prospect of people BUYING something at SOME POINT.
Fair fair, but it is more removed from that reality than companies in the past is my point there
least stupid venture capitalist
Aren’t white collar jobs the most likely to be replaced?
If factories existed anymore it would be factory jobs. White collar jobs will be replaced in the same way they’re always replaced which is that computers get a little better and as a result you don’t need to hire the same number of people per unit of work. Or you can hire the same people and have more work.
I work in a factory.
The material handling drone-scooter things they have to replace the forklift operators keep running into shit lol
The warehouse I work at hasn’t started using robot labor to replace humans on the floor yet thanks to the Unions, but they switched 4PL providers to one that uses some robot thing for load planning and it’s been a nightmare.
you gotta find out who’s pooping on the factory floor
Sold my soul to the company store
That’s why I poop on the factory floor
Factories do exist. We still make a lot of shit, we just don’t make a lot of shit that other people want to (or can afford to) buy from us.
With the current LLM or LIM stuff? Unlikely.
LIMs are only used for high quantity quality assurance in factories rn. Mixing the stuff with automation in a way that will actually impact the factory floor is likely a decade off or more, at least in the U.S. Idk how LLMs will ever be able to get into the mix, given how specialized most factory processes actually are. Hell we can’t even get CAM programs to automate themselves properly without correction and that shit has been in the work since CAD software was designed.
Most firms that are turning towards automation are not looking to remove workers (if they are competent) just up production quality and quantity and not have to raise wages by lowering basic manual vocational expertise. They are trying to make factory jobs, which had become more specialized with deindustrialization, into more general entry level jobs like the service industry again, where you can more easily plug and play less skilled workers rather than having to have a skilled operator, machinist, welder, etc on a machine for efficiency. Of course, all of this will also require semi-competent manufacturing engineers, which is a very slowly growing field in the U.S, despite being one of the O.G. engineering fields, so it will add white collar jobs.
The only reason these people are allowed to speak freely is because there is no
I’m conflicted… such a punchable face… but what if it bursts on impact?
Wear gloves
All VC know is write bad manifesto, eat computer chip, and lie
So what he’s saying is that all that’s needed to stop this AI bullshit is
I can automate his job with a 100 line Python script
we shouldnt replace venture capitalists with AI. we should re-place them into prisons
…Who’s gonna buy your stupid shit Marc?
I’ve been curious about the background of Futurism, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the snarkiness their articles often exhibit.
