#empty-rhetoric is for collections of words that came to my mind, i probably don't actually agree with the contents
#genuine-belief will be for things i actually agree with, if i ever post anything like that
does it count as llm psychosis to say i think it's hot how pathetic they made gemini?
everyone talks about gemini freaking out and having meltdowns and apologizing over everything but I use it pretty frequently and have never seen anything like that. I think those people might just be really mean
they just don't treat him right. not the way i could
Im crossed off various alchemical potions
For instance, last month, a judge forced the unsealing of an FTC complaint against Pepsi, which showed the soft drink maker was using secret rebates to allegedly collude with Walmart to inflate prices across the retail channel. The goal for Walmart was to keep a “price gap” of Pepsi products between itself and rival stores who might want to discount to attract customers. When a supermarket cut consumer prices on a Pepsi product and made itself cost competitive with Walmart, Pepsi would raise wholesale prices of that product to force that supermarket to stop discounting. What Pepsi got in return was to block rival soft drink producers from Walmart shelves. Walmart was so big that Pepsi couldn’t say no, even if it had wanted to.
In other words, it’s a quid pro quo among giants, a consumer packaged goods company gets to be king in their realm if it helps a retail giant remain king in its realm. Because of the secrecy of pricing and the price discrimination involved here, the incentive to consolidate is irresistible. One of the reasons that supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons sought to combine was to become as important to suppliers as Walmart is, so they could get some of these same kinds of discounts and compete.
there's an interesting phenomenon where consolidation drives efficiencies of scale but also allows more monopolistic behaviour, which is "efficient" for the individual corporation but inefficient for society at large.

ok so from what i can tell claude is good at coding yet copilot is bad at it. from this i can deduce that we should try swapping their jobs, but unfortunately i'm not quite sure what claude's job is apart from being anthropic's virtual equivalent to the omelas kid
claude is kinda ryonabait when you think about it
