I wish he was still making posts.

It's been a year and a half since the last one, compared to 1 or 2 posts per year. Here's hoping he's taking some extra time to make something amazing

He isn't? What happened?

lol they made a movie about this called minority report.

Also Psycho-pass explores the concept in depth.

Have you tried qwen 27b q4_K_XL? It's a little bigger than the 4080 but not too much

Have you considered this may never happen? What if datacenters continue to swallow all capacity?

>can train insainly powerful models on my laptop

Can you give an example or two?

>Tech companies should ignore it and just publicly name whoever attempts to prosecute them

The most powerful tech companies are in favor of this.

Didn't the Combine give humans immortality?

Nah that was just Breen’s propaganda. They do however disable humanity’s ability to reproduce with the “suppression field”.

>That in aggregate makes the economy much worse.

Does it really? A lot of our problems seem to stem from conspicuous consumption. People will still need things (food shelter clothing) and that will motivate purchasing. "Oh n0es people won't buy flavor of the month consumer garbage, what ever will we do" just doesn't track.

> Does it really?

It does, really.

Conspicuous consumption is a miniscule part of the economy, and for every person whose conspicuous consumption drops, you'll have 5 people who can no longer afford food and shelter.

If you'd like to learn more, I'd encourage you to take an economics class at any local community college. Intro level should teach you about lots of new things including this, much more than you'd learn reading HN comments.

I took multiple econ classes in college. Just because it's in the books doesn't mean it's true. Not to mention some of the books we studied were contributed to by people involved in the interventionist monetary regime. LIRP scooped the guts out of the middle class & handed it to the tech industry and I've seen nothing convincing to the contrary. Expecting everyday people to learn about inflation and manage a portfolio to try and make sure their earnings aren't eroded is borderline class-war. And I'm no socialist.

Did you miss the part in the classes where depressions happened ever decade or two before current policy?

Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. History spent a lot of time being deflationary, and most of that time had abysmal economies for anyone who wasn't nobility.

I always wondered how someone who wrote that could go on to chair the fed with LIRP policies that fueled crazy asset bubbles.
