This is the most inspiring thing I’ve read since the one where AI decided to maximize shareholder value by minimizing shareholders and nuked Wall Street.

[–] FrystSork@kbin.social 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you happen to have a link for that one? I would love to read it.

[–] MrMamiya@feddit.de 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I made it up, I think. It’s possible I really did read that somewhere and it popped up though.

Unfortunately, that doesn't change shareholder value, because the shares still exist. It might even cause the share price to drop, as the investors inheritance gets distrusted and people want to drop the stock of a company where the AI nuked itself.

Whoops, AI bought the dip and is now the majority shareholder of an unsettling number of corporations. The AI has cracked the cyber security of the market so thoroughly it can manipulate things faster than we can keep up. We are on the cusp of a singularity but it is not the one we expected. All value is soon to be consolidated. People keep saying “it doesn’t matter because humans aren’t involved anymore so it’s all just fake value, but shit is getting done. The machine needs labor, all administrators are eliminated. Cemetery stocks are through the roof. It’s a bold new frontier.

My heart is being warmed by the embers of the fatcat building.

[–] wabafee@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also the fats from the people burning.

Sadly, most of those people would be regular workers.

Now that I think about it, school robotics team is a great superhero / supervillain origin.

Isn't that literally Big Hero 6?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Why on Earth did they not make a sequel to that movie? I don't get it.

I checked and he's on bluesky (does that mean he's on mastodon as well? I was never 100% there), https://bsky.app/profile/qntm.org

[–] IlliteratiDomine@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago

Blyesky doesn't federate with ActivityPub/Mastodon or anything else at the moment. They say federation is coming, but its a different protocol than the Fediverse.

So.. they still didn't get the wheelchair?

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

But who gets their 2 year old a wheel chair? You can buy this thing at your local target. It's called a stroller.
