It's giant, it's stupid, and i love it. This is what tech should be used for: Art, not math to maximize stock trades per picosecond.
It's for ads. A wasteful beacon of light pollution for ads.
We all know that.
Look, if im gonna live in a late-stage capitalist hellscape, im gonna enjoy when one of our murderous overlord douchebags decides to do some wacky.
Its all we can do.
Or break shit. That's an option too.
Enjoy signing up for 21st century slavery in prison!
Vegas in a nutshell.
I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.
Or, ya kno, to another AI center.
Most prolly another AI center.
I prefer the goofy ball.
Full agree. It’s flashy and stupid and impressive and it represents a lot of terrible financial decisions. What could better represent Las Vegas? It should be on Nevada license plates.
Will you PLEASE think of the shareholders?
It’s great from 2000 miles away only ever seeing it on the internet, it would probably be amazing in real life for a week maybe two… three…a month… a year… a decade…….
I've heard that the vast majority of the time it's just advertisements, though.
We had a big digital display put in my town and they did that shit and in less than a week it was made illegal because they drafted an ordinance that specifically only affected that building and sign. They could stop it if they weren’t owned by corpos
Huh, I've never heard U2 described as "goofy" before, but it works.
I sent this to my wife assuming she knew about the existence of the sphere...
That's amazing.
Could be worse.
I stayed near the sphere when in Vegas for a friend’s wedding. It’s strange but I’ve never seen anything that belongs in that city more. It’s a monument to the 21st century’s Las Vegas. And yeah it’s amusing seeing something serious and looking over at whatever it’s doing
