Joe doesn’t have any more money to spend on video games
Companies have no more profit, because people don’t have income, so people can’t spend on their AI produced products

Funny thing, a Scottish fellow named Adam Smith figured that an economy where people don't have money to spend ends up stagnated and/or fucked over. Somewhat ironically, that is the piece that is most often overlooked by today's liberal economists (the kinds that are in favor or less regulation and taxes)

Most rich assholes like the idea of lording over a bunch of dirty peasants, of feeling superior to the unwashed masses, having them offer themselves into slavery out of "free will"

10 seconds between rounds over the immortal? Easy fucking peasy to solve - let it over him once, stay in place for when you have 10 seconds to pull him out. Check-fucking-mate.

Besides, since the tram will be looping, it'll be very easy to force it to stop somehow, like derailing or putting a concrete block on the track.

Also, if our immortal friend's tissues and bones end up in the rails and the wheels, the chances of the tram failing to move increase with every trip, it might not even make it to loop 100. Also also, if, for whatever reason, one of the tram runs turns the fellow around, such that the chains end up on the track, the bump will derail the thing.

I wonder how our immortal friend's suffering will go once the Earth has been swallowed by the Sun

Reminds me of a Veritasium video I saw last week about molecular polymorphism. They spent a good 6 minutes talking about the different forms of crystallization of chocolate and how to solidify it back into form V - the shiny one we usually see after unwrapping it.

No lollygagging, only ice lollying

Well, she is some 640-760 times thiccer than the Sun

But I think it’s more likely they’ll just switch to free, self-hosted AI models.

Implying anyone left there will even have the know-how to set one up

The sociopaths want everyone isolated, that's better for control and their business

I received a flyer for "Let's celebrate Jesus' death" this April. Terrible choice of words

I'll take 0,01 if it ensures that the person who dies is a billionaire

Partially related: I remember some months ago, down here in Brazil, UberEats and iFood drivers were getting restless about the complete lack of any rights when working with the apps - no rest time, no charging stations, low pay, all while being told that you're "being your own boss, working when you want to!". They usually formed whatsapp groups to complain about that.

In an almost inexplicable twist, the majority that wanted more rights also wanted the govt to stay the fuck away and were against a law that was meant to regulate working for apps. Said law included many of the rights they wanted.

"What do you mean this 4 hour meeting could be summed up in a single, 100 word paragraph without losing any important context or decision?????" - higher ups seeing the summarized transcript, probably
