Bernard de Mandeville, 1670 - 1733. First "neo liberal" author and the man that coined the ethicless economy. I was off by 100 years tho 😁

Not to say everything was perfect and nice before, but he's one of the father of modern capitalism and the first to theorise businesses didn't have to be ethic.

For him, the virtue of the society would be a guard against the sin of the economy. Like that, businesses could focus on making as much money as possible.

Of course, it was stupid. Greed and cupidity were not magically contained...

Of course not. He's a pos of a YouTubers, he's not a genocidal maniac.

Yet, he's a proud representation of the absolute mess we're in. Some genius 200 years ago had the great idea of saying it was ok to remove any ethic/humanity from the economy. And now, we're living in a dystopian hell where it's ok to profit from misery and where empathy is a sin.

He could organise squid games to sell cereal without blinking. Empty husks profiting.

Not the problem. Most of his videos are exploiting human misery to makes a few bucks.

The dude made people torture each other, jump in burning houses to make views. That's simply pure evil and not something I intend my child to think it's normal.

Any barely good society would simply shame him out of business .

I see your point. It's evident valve don't have the production power of a Sony (even if they got absolutely destroyed for months for each release) or Nintendo.

I don't know if it's really a "problem" per se. They're a lot smaller as a hardware builder so they can't have the same infrastructures,I don't think the demand would be strong enough. But that certainly makes them an easier target for scalpers

That's a really shitty take my friend. Scalpers are people with money and time that are creating scarcity.

They're basically building a temporary monopole to impose stupid price. It should be illegal just like concert ticket reselling is being blocked in a lot of country.

They are shitty people who don't give a flying fuck about anyone else and who would sell their mother's if they could. Soulless husk

They did not. Computers were able to do things that were almost impossible to do by hands.

LLMs don't do that. They regurgitate what we've been doing for decades.

They're great to brute force some problem tho. You give them shitloads of data and they're incredible to go through it.

Problem is, we took a REALLY unfinished tech and tried to package it as the saviour .

All "rate" metals are pretty common in space. Hell, all the lithium we're gathering is from asteroids falling on earth.

The most rare material in the universe is ... Wood.
