Here's a fact: It was always going to come down to Microsoft and Google and maybe Meta. Because the former already have established physical goods in the world. Anthropic, OpenAI, etc, were never going to cut it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. For more on this read my column on it: mildmanneredreporter.substack.com

Good riddance.
That being said: spend your money on real physical things from small businesses. Go be social with your neighbor, and read a fucking book with pages, preferably from a library. Because the best thing human beings ever invented isn't CHATGPT it's libraries.

And AI's toll on our environment, our knowledge and creativity, and finances I'd say we're a year or two from the whole thing crashing.

All three of the major pillars of modern internet--social media, crypto/bitcoin, and AI--are inherently worthless more and more people are beginning to get wise to this from banning smart phones in schools, to what seems like a crypto crash every other year or something--

Not to mention the financial bubble that AI is already going to pop, it's also environmentally suspect causing rapid poisoning of drinking water, and taking over farm land that we need.

AI, especially Open AI and Anthropic, is already done. Anthropic is bleeding money from copyright infringement cases. Open AI takes trillions of dollars to run and yet is only valued at a couple of hundred billion. AI is pretty much Wikipedia with better marketing.

Finally AI is probably the biggest grift there is right now. It grifts the world's knowledge and creativity into a digestible chunk that doesn't even know its a photo copy of a photo copy looking like that grainy Bigfoot photo from the 1970s.

At the end of the day crypto and bitcoin is just another way for the rich to get richer and doesn't bear any physical good in the real world.

From social media isolating our ability to focus, to crypto crashing for what seems like the fifth time in five years (it's a bubble and always has been), that poses financial freedom but is not worth shit.

The problem isn't Clinton--he has no more power--the problem is the guy who won't give it up.
