Literally the AI sector right now, except it is "low prices for your AI backend!" And in a few years it will be "extremely high prices for your AI backend, now that your entire product is heavily reliant on it"
nice depiction of any new techbro VC powered startup "revolutionary" online service (which I think it was the obvious interpretation, but didn't see it in the comments)
That's what camel rides at the Giza Pyramids are like. They'll quote you on a cheaper price, take you out into the desert and then demand a bunch of money to take you back to the pyramids.
I wouldn't let out that weight if I thought of it but for sure (not that it's much but gotta conserve that mass). Besides must be a way if there's no remote right? Hopefully. Maybe the sign was for hope so they could laugh more.
But I don't know much about hot air balloons except hearing them fire up for hot air close to one place I lived was kinda neat to see them around though. And obviously what makes them go up...I'd end up in a power line I assume.
For anything else yes I'd do my best to show my best to show my displeasure of the situation for sure.

The bridge that leads to Prince Edward Island in Canada is a toll bridge but "Tolls apply only when leaving Prince Edward Island".
You can drive on to the island for free, but you have to pay to leave.

It's fine as long as they don't remove the bridge out from under you

The Golden Gate Bridge is a toll bridge, but only heading into San Francisco.

I'm the captain of this balloon now.

"Balloon Returns: $10,000"
That balloon probably costs $30k-$60k to replace. The owner created his own hostage situation.

There is nothing more sweet as someone walking into "unintended consequences" when they were the first to act in bad faith.

Luckily the AI sector, like the balloon, will eventually run out of fuel to keep the thing afloat.

The guy on the ground has no way to get the balloon back down, unless he's got a rifle stashed somewhere..
squaresinger@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 48d
He can rope the balloon back down.
BillyClark@piefed.social · 4 pts · 48d
Just hand over hand pull it down? That's a lot of work, even if the balloon has neutral buoyancy.
