Deutschsein für Fortgeschrittene
#Deutschsein für #Fortgeschrittene
Weltbürger, Antideutsche und EU-Patrioten haben zum Angriff auf die deutsche Nation geblasen und wir können uns kaum wehren. Das hat einen einfachen Grund: Wir wissen gar nicht mehr, was "Deutschsein" eigentlich bedeutet. Zeit also, irgendwo zwischen Geschichte, Mythos und kleinkariertem Schrebergartentum die Suche aufzunehmen. Denn die Verbundenheit mit unserem Land ist eigentlich das Normalste auf der Welt. Dass diese Aussage instinktive Rechtfertigungs- oder Relativierungsreflexe auslöst, ist ein Grund mehr, unsere Nation einmal gründlich unter die Lupe zu nehmen.
Über den Autor
Der #PhrasenDrescher wuchs in einem multikulturellen süddeutschen Haushalt bei einer schwäbischen Mutter und einem fränkischen Vater auf. Bei Wanderungen lernte er die Liebe zum Land, in Büchern die Liebe zur Sprache und bei seinen Mitmenschen die Liebe zur Nation kennen. Bei seinem Philosophie-, Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaftsstudium musste er allerdings feststellen, dass man mit dieser eigentlich vollkommen normalen Ansicht für Linksliberale, EU-Apologeten, Weltbürger und andere „Antideutsche“ bereits zur politischen Opposition zählt.

Yeah, have worked at several VC-funded startups, I know. The question is why are they still spending this much on user acquisition.

in reply to Haelwenn /элвэн/ • • •@lanodan @mangeurdenuage I don't mean the general case.
In the specific case of Microsoft spending nuclear-plant levels of electricity and doing massive pushes to send people out to train other companies to use Copilot more, pushing "FREE COPILOT!" on VSCode users and Github users, and having quotas for a percentage of lines of code generated rather than written, right? They're spending way more on this than seems reasonable in order to corner a market that will not ever be profitable.
There's something they believe about this market that is not obvious to me; I am curious what it is.

I just want to buy a house. I'm pricing my service accordingly.
No investors. No Uber model where I lose money on every chat because some VC is picking up the tab. None of that shit. I won't do it. I hope that can itself be a selling point. "There is no end game. I want to be making some sort of profit the entire time."
No need for exponential growth on the exponential growth to please investors.
The problem here is, the people most likely to want that sort of firm at the same people likely to turn up their nose at *anything* I sell, especially if it's an AI product.

These are legitimate uses that will benefit the world, but it's not a gold rush even though all the suits are acting like it. With any luck, the Mark Cubans of this cycle will hodl all the way into bankruptcy.
I think we're seeing some degenerate, collapsing-empire shit here. The sclerotic, hyper-regulated, hyper-inflating, socialist-all-but-in-name economy has been dead for a while and the only big gains to be made are on asset bubbles and scams, so everybody is looking for "the next big
scamthing," be that AI, electric cars, cryptocoins, regulation-dodging taxi services, or orbital burrito delivery systems. Nobody is looking to run an honest, modest, and consistently profitable business.gentoobro

If there's no market for your product, find a new product. But there's very likely a market, especially among other small but serious business owners. It's really hard for them to find good, reliable partners and suppliers that aren't trying to run a scam and won't just evaporate when interest rates rise 0.5%.

They just call it a business or a service; it's a reasonable thing to do.
The VC-fund dicks call this stuff a "lifestyle business": plebs that are just running a business to support their lifestyle rather than disrupting moonshots.

In 2013 I learned that the only way I could fathom starting a business had a special name because nobody ever does it anymore.
It's called a "lean startup" and some guy even wrote a book about it.
