- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 5 days ago:
It’s not about waiting, it’s about enticing people to use Amazon fresh rather than the other grocery options they typically use.
- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 5 days ago:
My guess is that Amazon fresh makes its prices even more absurdly low to get more people buying.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 days ago:
That’s literally how “AI agents” are being marketed. “Tell it to do a thing and it will do it for you.”
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 days ago:
What are you checking against? Part of my job is looking for events in cities that are upcoming and may impact traffic, and ChatGPT has frequently missed events that were obviously going to have an impact.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 days ago:
Sadly a lot of that is probably marketing, with little to no LLM integration, but it’s basically impossible to know for sure.

Claude why did you make me an appointment with a gynecologist? I need an appointment with my neurologist, I’m a man and I have Parkinson’s.
- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 6 days ago:
I’ve known a number of homeless folks, and not a single one has made anywhere near that flying a sign, but plenty of them have had everything they owned trashed by the cops, who also confiscated any cash because the homeless folks “couldn’t explain where they got it.”
- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 6 days ago:
That sounds like an urban legend. The Sherlock Holmes story “The Man With the Twisted Lip” includes a wealthy man who had made his money by begging. The “beggar king” trope goes back further than that, and as far as I can tell it’s just a comfortable fiction to excuse society’s failure to care for its most vulnerable members.

That is clearly a wolverine.
- Comment on Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue 1 month ago:
I’m so glad I don’t use telegram.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 1 month ago:
That’s not really a side effect, more of a condition.
- Comment on Being called a loser for liking animation while the entire world is falling for AI slop is beyond. 1 month ago:
It was bullshit before generative slop was a thing. It’s even more bullshit now.
- Comment on Tea ☕ is leaf juice. While, coffee ☕ is bean juice. 1 month ago:
Coffee beans aren’t beans, they are pits. Vanilla beans aren’t beans, they are seed pods.

I just read it as “guys who are douchebags often say hello in languages they don’t otherwise understand.”

Fuckin’ a, friend. Well done.

Ooh, look at these fancy assholes who expect to “retire” someday!
- Comment on Any fediverse like discord clones? 2 months ago:
I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

Unexpected Vonnegut.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Cory Doctorow has made a pretty convincing argument that in your real specifically, all designs should be open source. That way, if a company goes bankrupt or simply stops supporting a device, like (say) an implant that allows them to see, or a pacemaker, or whatever, they can pursue repairs without the help of the OEM.

I think Disney might have a few things to say about that.
Along with every other film studio, record company, publisher, video game studio…
…engineering firm, architecture firm…
…pharma company, law firm…
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 3 months ago:
It’s not really a matter of opinion at this point. What is available has little if any benefit to anyone who isn’t trying to justify rock bottom wages or sweeping layoffs. Most Americans, and most people on earth, stand to lose far more than they gain from LLMs.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 3 months ago:
2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.

Morphine should be as far to the right as they are to the left. Not sure what the original creator of the chart was thinking.

You absolutely can, comrade.
- Comment on 🙄 Rule 3 months ago:
In the heyday of punk there were also fascists claiming to be punk. They got the shit kicked out of them then, looks like it’s time to lace up the boots again.
- Comment on How Tesla blew its lead. 3 months ago:
True, I can’t imagine buying a used Tesla knowing that I’d still have to make monthly payments to keep some features.
I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a jailbreak community that completely replaces the Tesla OS with something else.
- Comment on How Tesla blew its lead. 3 months ago:
The article should just be “This Guy” followed by photos of Elon doing his thing for the last year or so.
- Comment on What's the best way for Elon to remove the parasite class? 🤔 4 months ago:
And therefore the best way for him to handle the parasite class would be quitting ketamine and using fentanyl instead.
