RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung

The AGI you are talking about sounds woke, and that’s illegal under an executive order that takes effect at the end of the year, at least in the US.

We thought we'll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

ho-ly shit. this was a good read and it damn well predicted where we are almost 9 years on. 2 things that stuck out

1. "It's not like I'm predicting that airliners will fly slower and Nazis will take over the United States, is it?"
   this one... just like, reading it was like oh boy little do you know.
2. "It might be Facebook or Twitter messages optimized to produce outrage, or it could be porn generated by AI to appeal to kinks you aren't even consciously aware of." This one really hit the nail on the head. Whether its boomers on Facebook watching fake baby interviews, or everyone else on Reddit and TikTok falling for rage bait (and the gooners on X). Just... man. Why don't people get off their asses and fucking do something about this stuff? Why didnt they? I try to vote, and call local electives, participate in my community and keep people informed but Jesus. i dont know where we'll end up by 2036 if we aren't enslaved by that point.
