It’s possible to complain about both because the improved hammer makes the guy smashing everything with it an even bigger problem. Either way it brings attention to the issue, but I have no confidence in politicians making a change for the better at this point, they’ll probably just make it even worse.

AI has been around in many forms for decades FYI Enhanced capabilities and availability of tools make a difference. If a company gets the “brilliant” idea to “use AI” to file DMCA requests, encouraged by recent hype of AI and proliferation of many AI tools to make it easy to deploy, then it suddenly becomes a problem, hence why this article exists right now.

AI makes it easier, thus amplifying the suckitude.

Is this a CoreWeave-like setup? Smells fishy. I don’t know how the almost $4.5 trillion market cap is justified.

This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 2 weeks ago:
If a cryptocurrency concentrates into the hands of a few, as assets tend to do in capitalism, then wouldn’t proof of stake mean those few control the cryptocurrency anyway?
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 2 weeks ago:
Couldn’t those transactions be cut off at those swapping points to fiat? I assume if a bank doesn’t support a business directly transferring funds for a particular purpose then they’d take issue with indirectly transferring funds for the same purpose and would work to close those accounts.
- Comment on Techcrunch reports that AI coding tools have "very negative" gross margins. They're losing money on every user. 3 weeks ago:
Yep, and they were helped a lot after the 2008 financial crisis when interest rates were dropped super low and loans were cheap. That’s a major reason why the market has been screaming for the fed to cut the interest rate as much as possible.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 3 weeks ago:
I’m no fan of capitalism, but nothing in it requires public schools to install surveillance software on laptops. This seems purely like an administration issue, which is often the source of problems in general, not just in schools, but also in other sectors like healthcare, where they put in stupid policies while sucking up funding for themselves and their pet issues instead of towards the core purpose of that sector.
Agreed on the snow days. In fact, I think we should reduce the number of school days (and work days, for that matter) in general.
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 3 weeks ago:
I was already glad being out of school before widespread take-home laptops and required after-school logging in to check for homework and shit, but this AI-driven surveillance is on a whole other level. Sometimes I’m wondering if it’s just me getting old and doing the old people thing thinking things were better “back in the day” but is this current state not objectively worse, being monitored so much and having no way to really disconnect from school?
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 3 weeks ago:
This is why the argument that paying for something would prevent ads falls apart. If they can squeeze more money out of people then they will, even if those people are paying $80k+ for the damn thing.

Funny thing to say after using their code to train the shitty-ass AI. Developers don’t need AI, but AI certainly needs developers.

- Comment on mentoring 5 weeks ago:
Ironically you’re getting downvoted for telling people what they don’t want to hear. It’s tough to compete with someone claiming “you can have all you desire”. It’s similar to how trump won by recognizing what his target audience wants, validating their feelings, but then putting the blame on why they can’t achieve what they want based on all the wrong things.
- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 5 weeks ago:
The economy is always bad. The idea is to make people feel insecure and desperate so that they take on more/worse work for less pay. They’ll use every excuse under the sun, from “we can’t afford to pay workers” to “AI could do your job” and it doesn’t matter if it’s true because there are fewer companies growing larger who control so much of the employment landscape that they can unify against workers and make it so.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 1 month ago:
Econ 101 also states that a failed business stops existing. In reality, failed businesses are endlessly bailed out as “too big to fail” and they pay their executives bonuses with that bailout money while continuing to rip off customers along with the other one or two companies in the same industry that do the same.
- Comment on Japan using generative AI less than other countries 1 month ago:
Use it for what? Generating a bunch of nonsense text that others have to waste time reading? Generating shitty images with fucked up hands and garbled text to use in stupid ads for worthless trash?
This is a “competitive advantage” not worth pursuing. Most AI products/services lose money and even if they didn’t, they’re creatively bankrupt as a whole and shouldn’t be admired for squeezing money with lower quality.

Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.
- Comment on China hits 1 TW solar milestone 2 months ago:
Being the country with the most solar power generation by far is not “green washing”. For being the world’s factory, they’re doing quite well and it’s obvious from trajectory that they’re going to be among the greenest countries overall, including those countries that have externalized their pollution to China by using them as their factory.

It already jumped up about 10% on monday simply because the service launched. Even if the service crashes and burns, they’ll jump to the next hype topic like robots or AI or whatever and the stock price will stay up.
