The Elder Memes

Image of Tarhiel standing where he is normally laid out cold. Dialogue boxes say "I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people".

Image of two ordinators in Skyrim with confetti around them. Text says "another successful regime change from the country most obsessed with freedom".

Poorly put together meme of a dunmer from Morrowind labeled "me" in times new roman. Their hand is up to shield themselves from "the horrors". There is a stretch smiling hideous thing opaque in the background. I dunno y'all

games industry sure is bleak huh

My 3 month old is now TWICE as big as when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10

it's this but in reverse

Of course, the reason for the declining birthrate in the U.S. is multifactorial, but almost certainly primarily about income. In the affluent ’90s, people felt confident about being able to afford two or three children, but in the 2020s that’s a far more costly prospect. If people in big tech were genuinely concerned about the number of children being born, their attention would be wholly focused on making American lives more affordable, providing better benefits and support, and increasing wages. And not, say, on replacing workers with ineffectual AI while driving industries that rely on paying low incomes.

New Xbox Boss Is Worried About Birthrates, Says AI Will Save Us Five months ago Asha Sharma talked about how AI could turn around declining fertility rates

Big tech’s obsession with birthrate figures is something that should certainly make you feel uncomfortable, given it’s usually about half a step removed from matters far more sinister. Which is why it’s so disappointing to hear Asha Sharma, in an interview on a podcast from five months ago, saying that the thing she thinks about the most—other than GPUs—is whether her son “will have classmates in the future.” (Thanks Sam Machkovech.) This is because, she says, “fertility rates are declining, the average birthrate in the ’90s when we were growing up was, like, 3, and now it’s 2.3, and in 2050 it’s estimated to be below replacement.” This is strange on its own, and also completely wrong, but her next words make it far weirder. “I think that AI can have such a big effect on it, and already is.”

Did you Know: the new CEO of Xbox thinks AI will improve birth rates?
