A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Im tired of the media still trying to convince us the econmy is good when we are clearly in a depression and the worst job market sine the 2008 crash.
bu...but the lines are going up!
Not for you , they are going down for you personnally
honestly...my lines are going up crazy good, stock market is honestly easy as fuck way to make $ in a bull market, to a point.
little bit of risk tolerance and basic understanding of underlying market mechanics (legal and technically not legal) makes gambling like shooting fish in barrel, but there are scaling/reward for time-effort issues past like 6 figs
the "pros" do challenges like "how quickly can i turn this 500$ account into 50k", just for shits and giggles.
all these rich cunts ratfucking our public funds all the time through backroom deals? all of them (and just rich people in general) throw their $ into the stock market cause they have nowhere else to spend it, building various bubbles because our market rules are designed to be exciting to "facilitate liquidity". eventually, republicans come into power and play disaster capitalist, force austerity (bear market) onto everyone but themselves, specifically to stress the system with the goal of purposefully popping the bubbles. neolibs on the dem side do the same thing, but stop just short of purposefully collapsing the economy.
we have done this cycle many times over by now. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a pretty good entry into the subject, for anyone curious or thinking "surely it can't be that easy, your exaggerating"...is basically a tongue in cheek guidebook to trading like Wolf of Wallstreet, written over 100 years ago
Everybody has a system.
Until the crash.
Then all the systems turn into margin calls, effectively.
eh, when all the algos turn off is cheapest time to buy. long as your not shorting stuff/otherwise trading on margin/overexposed to debt-laden companies, it's pretty much a non-issue
granted, that also takes the ability to ignore your emotions as well. it's easy to tell yourself your not gonna sell/try to time a bottom or something but it's another to see like half your life savings dissappear in a day.
is why alot of rich people just pay others to manage their money (especially if they know how many behind the scenes games), keeping emotion out of it takes practice. tends to be an expensive lesson learned the first time around.
