  • Don’t understand graph. is dark line what people think of songs released 11 years ago? WTH is graph before age 0? Oh ok, maybe. A song released when you were 40 is rated the same as one released 45-80 years earlier.

    There is huge bias in “popular music” category. Can get very sick of old songs, or just stop listening to contemporary pop after a while. I’m surprised old people would still like pop songs of their youth, after being overplayed over the years.








  • Very difficult project to track data for. Major difficulty is that capex budgets are like share buyback budgets. Implementation speed subject to change. It’s hard to measure revenue/profitability because AI credits tend to be bonus perks for enterprise customers, and in Meta’s case they use it for better brainwashing/ad revenue.

    The best way to measure Bubbliciousness is trends in spot GPU rentals. Nvidia has been selling more datacenter GPUs than datacenters completion for over 1 year. Those GPUs filter down to tier 2 providers because they cost $1.30 to $2.70 per hour to just sit in a warehouse. Anthropic’s deal to replace grok at Colossus 1 has significantly reduced tier 2 provider usage, and those spot rates have collapsed below their runcosts. https://lemmy.ca/comment/23443450

    There are massive economic plotholes in the movie. Namely that other currencies for coffee or busfare and the like would be normal.

    it seems arbitrarily unnecessary to give everyone 25 years at birth, even if technology to stop aging makes that a “good age”. For normal education progression, there is a massive penalty to goof off at college for 4 years, if you only get 1 year to start earning income from degree. There is an infinite money loop of having babies (killing them for their 25 years), though maybe they’re unable to spend until age 25.

    What is certain, is the system promotes stronger oligarchy/aristocracy than current one, because everyone is forced to stay in a system with cops protecting the artistocracy. You can’t just go live in the forest off berries and squirrels, or move to Africa and buy yourself a goat and build a hut on an empty spot, and survive on $3/year. Mandated systemic participation ensures the increased inflationary gouging that is part of movie’s world/plot.
