What you want is a potato ricer. They’re awesome.
- Comment on 'The most stunning demo I've ever seen in my life': ChatGPT impressed Bill Gates by acing AP Bio exam 1 year ago:
It’s not like ChatGPT actually knows these things. It’s essentially a search engine. So if it aces an AP biology exam, it basically looked up the answers. It does a great job of making sense of data and putting it all together, but don’t be fooled into thinking that it knows everything about everything.

I always found it hilarious how specific the porn subreddits are. Girls playing Scrabble while showing you their butthole.
- Comment on HP printer USB port covered with warning sticker in hopes you won't use it | Boing Boing 1 year ago:
You would never know it from the brand name, but Brother is a Japanese company, and the Japanese are known for making elegant, well made, and easy to use stuff. Konica Minolta is also Japanese and makes pretty good stuff, but for a basic printer I prefer Brother. And don’t bother with inkjet, get a Brother all in one laser printer, and you’ll have a very reliable machine that isn’t expensive to operate. The ink won’t dry up if you don’t use it, and the drivers aren’t constantly trying to sell you anything.
- Comment on Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem 1 year ago:
“I swear, officer, I was just searching for CP to catch OTHER people!”
It would be just as pathetic as that scene from Something About Mary. “Yeah I was just going to pee, too!”
Maybe they had some kind of legal sanctioning to do it, but holy crap, I wouldn’t want that in my search history. I would hope software like that has some mechanism where if people search for certain words it results in an automatic reporting to some FBI API somewhere. I actually know of a couple of people who got caught with that stuff. One got 25 years. The other jumped bail and they eventually caught him. I’m not sure if he’s been sentenced yet but I bet he’ll get double of what the other guy who cooperated got. Those people are creepy AF and nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with any of it. Those people are 10 times worse than neo nazis.

So they went on mastodon and started searching for CP? WTF is wrong with these sick people? I hope they’re on an FBI list now.

Why would you open a chip fab in Arizona? Doesn’t it use a lot of water?

It’s like deconstructed food when they bring you a plate with all the ingredients on it.

Oh no, don’t throw me into the briar patch!
- Comment on Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month 1 year ago:
Exactly. If you want me to subscribe, lower the price! Don’t these corporations do some kind of analysis, where if you lower prices, you get more subs and more money…or raise prices, less subs, and overall less money. The soda companies are the same way. It used to be $3 for a case of soda, now it’s $7+. I’ve noticed that since they did that, the soda aisle at my local grocery stores is about half the size it used to be.
