“Name a country.”

… Doesn’t name a country.

You know, that’s fair enough. But honestly people confidently spreading ridiculous misinformation can set me off a bit.

I’d love to hear which country you think has “unbiased media” lol

Yes, exactly. There were people who called the internet a fad at the time. Fads go away completely and don’t come back. Plenty of historical examples.

A bubble is the result of hype, enthusiasm, and/or overconfidence in a sector. Usually after a bubble bursts, there are lots of losers and a few winners, then after a decade or so the market stabilizes.

LLMs are very useful in a limited number of applications, and so will go on being a part of society and probably end up as a pretty important market. However, OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic, Nvidia, etc. are all valued close to or above $1 trillion (not to mention the old players like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft).

There is NO way that all of those companies will launch and maintain products that are more profitable than the GDP of most countries. Especially considering that they will be facing international competition from Baidu, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Yandex, etc.

That has not been true of any historic financial bubble. Almost ALL of them have been clearly identified in advance. However, the nature of financial bubbles is that there is lots of money to be made leading up to the burst.

Please learn a little history.

I didn’t say fad, I said bubble.

Do you genuinely think that all of these trillion dollar companies will suddenly become profitable, let alone enough to sustain the rapid level of infrastructure development?

Did the dotcom bubble result in billions of dollars of physical infrastructure in this way? Genuinely asking.

Bless you. I don’t know how to meme lol

Also, IUDs are not particularly risky. That’s just bad marketing.

Yes! This drives me crazy. I will sometimes go back and edit posts to add more info months later.

We have all been in a situation where we are looking for a very specific answer, and the answer only exists in one obscure forum from a decade ago that has the exact info we are looking for.

It’s hard enough to ensure lemmy’s long-term fidelity without people axing their own content.

Never heard of Scout or seen the logo, but that’s a big swirly poo, right? I’m not crazy, am I? This feels like being punked.

It’s most definitely a poo.

You forgot they called it Bing in the middle too

I believe that is correct as far as lemmy goes. The AP protocol is open by nature, but there may be a private implementation —I’m not sure.

There are several Discord-like projects, but I don’t think they are federated.

No, it’s a dolphin embryo

Wait, I knew about the potato, buy I didn’t know you can play doom on doom itself! How does that work?

On the other hand, this is how companies fall. In my area, many small businesses are foregoing Google entirely. SEO is expensive and complicated, and so are websites, map prominence, and most of the things Google sells. They’re not worth the investment.

Mostly, companies are shifting toward Meta products, so it’s not as though everything is hunky dory (want to know when that hip new boutique is open? Don’t bother with the web search, just look up their Instagram). There is a very real threat of collapse if Google keeps up the antics.

Exactly.

I see what you’re going for, but… No thanks.

I want my…
