RETRO:
I'm downloading Pimiga 5 that includes over 4200 Amiga games plus retro emulators with more for other platforms. It will be great on my 16GB Raspberry Pi 500+.
It will also install on x86 machines. You do need an Amiga Kickstart ROM image, which I already have. You can get them from Cloanto.

I thought about setting up a VM with all sorts of retro games on it, after I saw that JayzTwoCents video. But I hardly play the games I have! I only play two or three games now. Let alone a thousand!

Gamergate, Anti-trans movement and loot boxes were all Epstein.

Total clown show. Even with a runaway hit show now on to it's 3rd season they still can't get their shit together. 10 YEARS since the last fallout game was released and they are nowhere. 15 since Skyrim! Starfield was worthless trash that had to be modded and reskinned to be playable.

20 years waiting for Half Life 3.

Fleetwood Mac released Rumours 60 years ago. Get off my lawn!

The AI Ouroboros Explained

The video highlights how these companies are interconnected through investments and partnerships, often with money circulating among them. For example, Coreweave, an AI infrastructure provider, uses Nvidia's money to buy Nvidia's chips, and then rents them back to Nvidia. This creates a financial loop dependent on continuous investment and inflated valuations.

Unsustainable Spending and Debt Despite huge cash injections, companies like OpenAI are losing massive amounts of money due to high operational costs. The major AI spenders have accumulated record levels of debt, often using private equity firms to keep negative numbers off their balance sheets. The profitability plan hinges on replacing human labor with AI, which would ultimately lead to widespread job losses and economic instability.

AI's Lack of Practicality and Declining Usage:

AI, particularly generative AI, is being forced into various industries like game development, not because it solves existing market needs, but to justify investment

The Looming AI Bubble:

The current situation is compared to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s, where massive investments in unproven internet companies led to a market crash. The AI industry is in significantly more debt, and the projected demands are impossibly high. A potential recession is largely projected to happen around 2028 due to the inevitable failure to meet investor expectations. The video also mentions how government actions, like loosening regulations for 401k investments in private credit, could worsen the impact on individuals.
