Is this an AI thing? It’s an AI thing, isn’t it.

Edit: oh, just some normal bot I guess. I got the implication this was someone they were actually video chatting with.

Yeah, this seems like bad timing since it looks like the recession formally started today.

Not technically yet, but effectively.

It requires more vespene gas!

But why would Quark post that

It’s only going to get worse.

Oh, you don’t need those people anymore. Because AI. Or some shit.

$139!

This is fantastic.

Ah yes. (Barf) GamePass.

Fucking Lemmy.

“Hey guys, what are some cool things out there?”

Yes, sign me up. I’m ready. Right now. Seriously. Do they want money?

Get trump to tariff them. Or buy them, like Greenland!

Quite a few people would think $60k is a good price. It’s not, but it’s more palatable in the current car market.

Unless corporations start ruling it somehow, it really can’t enshittify.

That’s not enshittification. Enshiification doesn’t mean “gets shittier”.

Enshittification is this very specific thing where services are initially good to attract users, but eventually turn to making things shittier for user in pursuit of profit growth - where they can’t really grow the user base any more, so the only way to satisfy wall street’s need for exponential growth is to add user-hostile changes to squeeze more out of existing users.

That’s not a thing with Lemmy unless it goes corporate somehow.

Edit: missed that someone else already called this out
