fyi discord had been enshitifying for at least 5 years now
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 days ago:
there’s a billing dept in my company. i assume they handle billing. they have an office. they sit at desks a lot. they make calls and verify insurance and process payments and whatnot.
I have a friend who is a software dude. i dunno what he does but I’m assuming it involves offices, desks, and software.

in 2020 when bernie lost, reddit tankies were banning anyone in support of Biden, saying that a Trump victory would be preferable in the name of Accelerationism

- Comment on I get that america is failing if it's duty to suppress the rise of fascist but did the rest of the world just put all its eggs in the america basket? 6 days ago:
stop, wait, what, that’s why tankies believe in comrade trump? because any steps towards subverting American hegemony is mistaken as being inherently pro worker? even if it’s a genocidal fascist who makes workers’ lives worse
- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 1 week ago:
It is NOT foreign policy that they try to enforce against other warp-capable civilizations.
But this is not about foreign policy! This is about developing planets within Federation space. (Federation space is a specific region of the Alpha and Beta quadrants and may refer to both members and non-members!)
The only reason I ask is because the Fan page for the Federation says they enforce the prime directive on any invaders in fed space. I think False Profits is probably the only example that I can think of! Enterprise is pre-federation and pre-prime directive unfortunately.

- Comment on A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU. 1 week ago:
easy block potential, a dude tagging people from past arguments to rampage about how “Europe is bad actually!” or whatever the fuck nonsense they were arguing about… cherry picking contentious bill proposals and presenting it as some sort of evidence… the mental acuity of a teenager and none of the meme potential. yea I’m gonna get out ahead of this one and make sure you dont randomly tag me on shit either. easy block

does this have anything to do with the girl in the picture? or is this just “GIIIIIRLLL!!!” moment?

the only way the cult of personality is changing is if they start putting Thorazine in the drinking water
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 2 weeks ago:
something like 95% of calicos are female
color in felines is expressed on the X chromosome. humans with XX have the same kinds of patterns on their skin from combinations each parent’s DNA, but skin color isn’t expressed there so it isn’t visible
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 weeks ago:
fuck off with that dehumanizing shit. you can write off dissonant perspectives with whatever rationalization you want but dont call me a fucking bot
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
I see the misunderstanding, sorry. You’re still in the wrong though. while you weren’t calling it thinking, the article certainly was. THAT’S why we’re saying it’s not. we’re doing what you said we should, but it’s the inverse, and you call it anti-AI. the jackass who wrote that article is jumping the gun and we’re saying “how tf can you call it thinking” and i see your reply calling that anti AI, seems like a reasonable mistake ye?

they post articles like that all the time. warnings make great clickbait
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
shouldn’t you say the inverse is true lol why call it thinking if we don’t know what thinking is or what it’s doing?
why are you cool with pro ai and against anti ai sentiments? either way it’s a value judgment, quit acting like yours is the correct opinion

wow an AI researcher over hyping his own product. he’s just waxing poetic .
we don’t even have a good sense of what thought IS, please tell Claude to call the philosophers because apparently he’s figured out consciousness

morally wrong out factually wrong?
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 weeks ago:
so your rationale for believing this person is wrong about a foreign country’s laws, with notoriously complex immigration law, is that “it would be stupid”
i just feel like i need to point out how stupid these replies are, because if we have no sense of the truth, believing you over the other guy is just as stupid.
stop arguing immigration law online, talk to a lawyer
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 weeks ago:
stupidity has nothing to do with it. are they right or wrong? sorry, but the facts matter here and I’m not trusting popular opinion to figure out immigration law
this place feels more like reddit

That’s BS. She did chores. Did she even earn wages? She stayed 7 weeks, no overstay.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 weeks ago:
you can’t learn from chatbots though. how can you trust that the material is accurate? any time I’ve asked a chatbot about subject matter that I’m well versed in, they make massive mistakes.
All you’re proving is “we can learn badly faster!” or worse, we can spread misinformation faster.
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 2 weeks ago:
lol your other comment also just says “i wont engage”. you say the conversation is emotional but your replies have nothing but grandstanding. ive heard a lot of crazy unsubstantiated claims around Israel-Palestine, but the idea that accusations of innocents being murdered is hamas propaganda is possibly the craziest. what channels are the propagandists going through? whose support does hamas have to disseminate this propaganda?
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 2 weeks ago:
You see an article about a major tech company collaborating with a major world government, and you think the terrorist resistance cells living in dirt are the ones more capable of disseminating propaganda?
What if you’re the one who’s consumed the propaganda? Where’s the money, Larry?
- Comment on Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’ 2 weeks ago:
it’s a very long email. there’s details of how Microsoft contracts with Israeli Defense to make AI that supports war efforts

Maybe if you want it to be a surprise you could talk to a family member? Hm but no one should give you personal information on the promise of money… Maybe the other commenter has the right idea: approaching the loan servicer as a buyer of the loan. That happens once in a while: your loan is owned by one company, then suddenly another company owns it because they’re trading stuff.
