    It’s the unlucky part that terrifies me… i have seen people get old and forget everything, some of them family members, my grandfather lived to be 88 and his last days were spent having parts of his body just dying of and having to be cut off and then came slow painful organ failures, they were pumping him with so much morphine that he was just hallucinating and if i’m lucky i’ll go to sleep and my heart will just stop (low chance on my mother’s side) apparently it’s heart murmur type of thing but hasn’t shown itself yet, genetics are a bitch, also working till we die is kinda the direction the world is going towards so there might not be a point to plan for retirement either way.

    Talked to my wife a few days ago about this and made her sad with it but she could understand why i feel this way, i said i don’t want to live a long life, 50 is enough (about to be 38 btw) and if i manage to live to be 60 i’m going for assisted suicide, like why the fuck would i want to live long enough just to become someone’s burden and there’s really no point in “looking forward to retirement” because a) i’ll be too old to enjoy anything, if i am properly mobile by that point considering my job does involve heavy lifting and b) while i am earning “decent” money for the fact that my education has no relation to my current job, this money does absolutely fuck all for retirement and will get me about 1000-1500€ per month and that’s if the threshold doesn’t go any higher, investments are mainly risks that mostly don’t pan out and the time when there were investment opportunities i didn’t have money to do anything, so i’m just choosing death.

    The smell of despair is intoxicating, i love it. This made me think of the Watchmen and Rorschach’s speech at the start of the movie, can’t remember the exact words but i think it went kinda like this “when all the whores and politicians beg me to save them i’ll just say no”, mine would be “when all the CEOs beg me to save their overpriced AI paperweight i’ll just say no”.

    All these morons put so much money in AI and now they have to shoehorn it everywhere to justify the investment, watching this year’s CES was appalling with them presenting AI junk for “consumers” and when i hear some say “the bubble should burst, but it shouldn’t burst too hard because it could have repercussions throughout the industry and wider” and i’m here like bitch i want it to implode so hard that all these companies that went with AI to go bankrupt and it takes years for everything to recover because for me having a subscription for entertainment is not an option. By owning our hardware is how WE are in control, as soon as you get that hardware through a subscription that’s when they have taken control away from us and that terrifies me and it should you all as well, just remember how it was with Netflix, HBO and all the other subscription services, how they started cheap and then started ramping up the prices year after year and now they will do the same with gaming but now they won’t be able to just take away your games (example The Crew), now they can take away your hardware as well, so for me saying NO to AI is the most obvious choice because there is no benefit for me whatsoever.
