@kidwarp Do you set an alarm clock to wake up at a particular time every day?

Unsolicited feedback about @beejay Her jerky is good and she has good support after the sale. Story time. A while back I bought some jerky from her, mainly to support a fellow midwesterner who is actually making things. My Nostr DMs never received, but I placed an order by email and that worked fine. When it arrived, I wanted to share it with the household, but someone here has food alergies and an ingredient was "soy sauce". Uh oh. Does it have BHT, disodium EDTA, MSG? No idea. But I hit up beejay and had an answer within minutes. None of that junk was in there. Just real food. So we all got to enjoy the snack. I'm usually very cost concious, so I go for the least expensive option at the grocery store, which is a fraction of the cost of handmade jerky. But if you want the high end stuff, try beejay. She's the real deal.

Yesterday I spun up a Nextcloud instance that will be a shared resource for multiple communities that I am a part of. 1. Reverse proxy rules updated by Ansible 2. VM created by terraform 3. Nextcloud/postgres/nginx/TLS certs set up by Ansible After I edited a few text files, it took a bit over 10 minutes to between nothing, and fully working #Nextcloud server. #SelfHosting is great!

OK. So someone explain it to me like I'm 5. The big tech companies have been holding the US stock market up for years now. They are all heavily investing in AI and their value is based on expectations of huge breakthroughs which will enrich the lives for everyone. Some people say it's all hype, hopes snd dreams and when people figure that out everything comes crashing down. That's easy to understand. But what if these rich dudes like Zuckerburg and Altman and the others are right? They make a machine that can do things better and faster than humans. No need to keep paying the workers anymore. Great. Mission accomplished. How do they turn a profit at that point? If people are out of work, who is going to buy the output of the AI? Other rich dudes who already have their own AI? Governments? Is so, where do they get the money? We all know printing it isn't going to work, and if it's just going to taxes and then backto the companies, I don't understand the point. Where is the money supposed to come from? It just doesn't make sense to me. Give me the straight dope here. Teach me something.
