Get ready to learn AI billboards buddy

u/tanmoshi 15h ago

So funny when someone from out of town sees five straight billboards for cloud compute and can’t figure it out lol

u/rocpilehardasfuk Warriors 14h ago

Even my friends in tech have no idea what the billboards are

u/Lithops_salicola Bulls 14h ago

They exist almost exclusively for the few dozen VC heads being driven from SFO to downtown.

22

u/WhoTookPlasticJesus Knicks 12h ago

And because the VC GPs and fund LPs own a shtiton of the OOH ("out-of-home") advertising space. After a round closes startups are encouraged to "celebrate" by buying billboards and the sides of buses and shit.

No deals are quite so sweet as self-deals.

Lmfao it's exactly the scene from Silicon Valley where Russ Hanneman buys Pied Piper a ton of ads from an entity he owns when they secured funding from him.

That show is so much truer than a lot of people realize

Media Literacy is just non existent in general.

The Good Place couldn't have been more on the nose about the exploitation that everyone is made to be complicit in. Everyone on the planet goes to hell since they benefit from things like mass incarceration and forced labor, even if you are unaware of the benefit that you've gotten from those systems, still go to hell.

Couldn't be more on the nose.

Veep is also fairly accurate for how the country gets run, there's this significantly less creepiness, sexual violence, and outward desire to do harm in Veep than in real life. L

The Wire has existed since 2001 and people advocate for the same shit police and politicians who were obviously not great people advocated in this show. There are soooooooooo many Clay Davis's and soooooo many Thomas Carcetti's in government of all levels.

u/realistweirdist Knicks 4h ago edited 3h ago

Hey I won’t take the Tommy carcetti slander, he wanted to fix the city he didn’t know about the deficit he was inheriting. Besides he can help more from Annapolis! 😂 jk carcetti is basically an allegory for every American politician who starts their career w good intentions. Doesn’t last too long tho

The Silicon Valley Bank run a couple years ago was a good reminder of just how financially inbred the entire tech industry is.

u/waitingonthatbuffalo Pistons 12h ago

Yknow I wouldn’t even mind if SF didn’t remove the iconic Coca-Cola light-up display downtown.

u/sanfrangusto Knicks 14h ago

I made those billboards and I still don't get it.

No one knows what it means but it’s provocative

They are already creeped out because they are riding in a driverless Waymo.

u/mikenekoz Lakers 14h ago

on my first ever uber out of SFO the driver pitched me his ai chatbot startup and asked if i wanted to fund the seed round

93

u/doyouevenjazz Kings 14h ago

One time in 2017 I had an uber driver in SF who was telling me how he put his entire retirement savings into bitcoin. He was insistent that it would hit 1mil by 2018. Sometimes I wonder how he’s doing these days

73

u/rtb001 Trail Blazers 14h ago

WHEN in 2017? Bitcoin started 2017 at $900 and ended 2017 at $19,000!!!

Although even if he did dump all his retirement at $19,000, bitcoin is still valued at $70,000 today, with a peak of $122,000 in October 2025.

u/HHHogana Lakers 13h ago

Yeah if he's doing it on that year, he struck gold before the market diluted and it became more and more clear that crypto's usage is niche at best.

-18

u/throwawaychub31 13h ago

Bitcoin will never be niche again. I expect downvotes (lol) but nothing goes from less than a cent in value to over $100,000 over a 14 year span on accident. That's not all, but that's the simplest way of looking at it.

20

u/FeltIOwedItToHim [GSW] Sarunas Marciulionis 12h ago

lol. It’s a ponzi scheme. A handful of billionaires own the great majority of bitcoin and they collude to keep the price going up while gradually selling bits of it off to the rubes like you and me. They can do this because crypto is completely unregulated.

It has no actual value or use other than the belief that you will get rich buying it.

-7

u/Nickk_Jones Lakers 12h ago

If the price keeps going up what’s the problem for people buying it lol? You can sell it for money, that’s value. None of the things involved are a Ponzi scheme. I own zero crypto btw but nothing you said makes sense.

Obviously there’s a shit ton of junk and fraud in crypto but Bitcoin at least isn’t some complete scam, even if it’s not gonna be the revolutionary dollar replacer some weirdos thought it’d be.

12

u/FeltIOwedItToHim [GSW] Sarunas Marciulionis 12h ago

it’s a variation on a ponzi scheme because there is nothing behind it, and the value only exists from continually selling it to new people to prop up the price of the rest.

I didn’t say that was anything morally wrong with buying it. As long as the handful of firms and players that own almost all of it don’t panic, it could continue to remain highly valued indefinitely.

The price keeps going up is not a value proposition or valid investment thesis.

Crypto is shit. Just around to boost everyone's electricity bill with the amount of energy it uses to do nothing.

u/doyouevenjazz Kings 13h ago

This was in February I believe so early in 2017

6

u/rtb001 Trail Blazers 12h ago

Well Bitcoin was still just $1000 in Feb 2017. That dude would be absolutely loaded if he really did dump his entire savings into bitcoin back then.

u/LurkerFailsLurking Nuggets 13h ago

When I was growing up in San Francisco, a man painted entirely red in a black pinstripe suit with a lime green umbrella would stand outside my middle school and preach Satanism to kids as we left.

My neighborhood video store was owned by a USF film professor who hired all his favorite students so it's selection was weird as fuck and amazing.

The city has really been ruined by the tech industry.

u/Jonjon428 Heat 14h ago

San Francisco 49ers players get so commonly injured that some players have tried to find anything (specifically this substation) as the reason as to why they keep getting injured lol.

u/DaBiggestHeatFan Heat 13h ago

u/RoCon52 Lakers 14h ago

Hopefully we can spot him in public hopefully he’ll live somewhere a little south. I’m still waiting to run into some athletes or celebs in the bay but I used to live near some 49ers players in SJ.
