Step one on new phone for anyone with ADHD. Otherwise the social costs are too high
- Comment on ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims 1 week ago:
Until LLMs can build their own power plants and prevent humans from cutting electricity cables I’m not gonna lose sleep over that. The people running them are doing enough damage already without wanting to shut them down when they malfunction… ya know like 20-30% of the time.

The most important thing is to protect your mental health so you can function and be resilient.
Being informed on the chaos of the world is far behind that in the priority list. The radius you can impact is tiny compared to the rest of the world and the constant feed of atrocities you get hit with every day. And you don’t have unlimited attention to spend. Focus on what’s around you and making that better. The rest is, for the most part, noise that you have no control over whatsoever.

I’m an American so I don’t understand why you haven’t just put a couple 30 round mags through the wall with your AR-15?

Why do you avoid them?
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t use them. Or screen protectors . I take good care of my devices, and my phone gets its own pocket always, so no scratches. I’ve only broken 1 phone in my life and it was only the back glass on an iPhone 4, which slipped off my motorcycle seat because that fucking phone was frictionless.

- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 3 weeks ago:
Microsoft marketing is the epitome of “fuck up, move up”, I’m convinced. I’m so glad I’m retired and don’t have to deal with any of that bullshit anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 3 weeks ago:
They should work on getting it right for their own stuff, first.

Pretty good opinion, NGL.

- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 4 weeks ago:
I read something similar recently so I went to look it up. According to Donor Alliance:

- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 4 weeks ago:
I do try. I actively boycott shitty companies (for 30 years and counting) and my list is long and swollen.
If more people took action on their principles our systems would be a lot less shitty.
Just because you can’t boycott everything doesn’t mean you should do nothing.
