- Comment on ChatGPT shows better moral judgment than a college undergrad 1 week ago:
The biggest problem with emerging AI is that we are absolutely terrible parents.
Humanity has a child that going to become an amazing prodigy and instead of teaching them to be decent, open, honest, compassionate and helpful … we are raising an entity that is learning that making money and concentrating power is the most motivation for everything in life.
We are trailer trash parents who are raising a child that will grow up to become more powerful than we could ever be. Or at the very least become a monstrous pet that will be controlled by whoever has the most money and power.
I wonder what could possibly go wrong.

A more simpler description is … “the universe should revolve around me and my personal happiness and freedom” … Therefore … “If anyone disagrees with that, then they are communists and anarchists that want to destroy world order … my world order”
It’s a mentality that always revolves around them

- Comment on The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down 1 week ago:
From a technical point of view I agree … I have a few friends who work in music and visual arts and they swear by Apple products and software
But to average users and people who just want to go online with social media, snap a picture, share it, forget it and do it over and over and over again … they really don’t care if it’s an apple product or not. The family and friends I know that are not technically minded only understand one key technological specification when it comes to devices … PRICE and COST.
If they can’t afford a $1,000 apple phone … they’ll buy a $500 android phone … or just stick to their five year apple phone and won’t upgrade until they can buy a used $500 apple phone.
- Comment on The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down 1 week ago:
Or everyone is starting to figure out that the garden looks just as good outside the fence as it does inside the fence. Technology has been converging for many years now to the point where most devices especially smart phones have reached a bottleneck and no one can make things go any faster and there is really no big need for even more massive storage space for the average person. So phones have hit a ceiling and the place that Apple once had where they were one of the few manufacturers that made good phones is now overshadowed by lots of other companies that are comparable or near comparable. Does the average person really care if they have a high definition 20MP camera or a 22 MP camera. All they care about is being able to scroll through Tik Tok, FB or Instagram and no one really seems to care what device they use to do that any more.

- Comment on First known test dogfight between AI and human pilot carried out, US military says 2 weeks ago:
AI has a already won in these confrontations
Surface To Air missile made human piloted aircraft obsolete.
All that’s needed now are a bunch of missiles, plug into an AI program and let it run by itself.
Why would militaries invest in a billion dollar aircraft piloted by a highly trained aircraft pilot with years of training that cost millions of dollars that is probably paid millions over many years … when the pilot and his aircraft can be shot down by a $100,000 missile. If you can’t do it with one missile, send three, four or ten, it’s still cheaper than matching them with an aircraft and pilot.
Instead of investing in expensive aircraft and pilots, all a defending country can do is just spend the same amount of money and surround their country with anti aircraft missiles controlled by AI systems.

A controversial addition to this is … onions
As soon as I say this, most people look at me like I’m crazy and even disgusting. But the combination of thin slices of raw onion and cheese is amazing.
Most people I serve this to still refuse and say they don’t like it because of onions. But many can’t help but agree it’s a great combination.
I was convinced of this combination years ago during a holiday in southern Spain. There one of the most common cheap street food sandwiches is a fresh bun with hard manchego cheese with onions. I ate so many of them I love the combo now.

Lol … That’s the game every rich person plays and we all accept.
They’re super rich so they can use their imaginary wealth to get even more rich.
When you ask to tax them, the money doesn’t exist or it isn’t what you think it is so you can’t tax them.
- Comment on I'm glad my meat didn't go to waste. 3 weeks ago:
It’s a Christian thing where people want their bodies preserved as long as possible in the belief that when the biblical end times arrive, you want a full body to rise from the dead. I’ve heard many relatives say to me that if you get cremated, there’s nothing left to rise when the Lord comes and takes everyone.
I’m Indigenous Canadian and the historic burials we had hundreds of years ago before colonization by Europeans and their Christian traditions was a lot different. I’m Cree / Ojibway in northern Ontario where there is mostly swamp, or rock and very little in between. Historically when we buried our dead, we built a simple scaffold of trees about ten feet high, then place the body on top, then mark the location with the tallest straight pole we could make. The body and marker would last maybe five to ten years before it would all disappear because of animals, insects, extreme cold, damp, and even forest fire. It takes longer to decompose if the body is left in or near swamp or wet areas. In deep swamp, the conditions are such that a body and bones could last for decades (look at the historic discoveries like Tollund Man )
When I went out to visit many of the places where my ancestors were from, my family knew where they all lived and travelled … but there were no markers, identifications, headstones or anything anywhere.
The land was just as pristine and beautiful as when they first used it while they were alive.
That’s exactly what I want to do with my legacy.

In the future, the basement won’t be known as the basement. It will be known as home because we won’t be able to survive long on the main floor due to the radiation exposure and roaming raiding gangs.

I plan on having a cremation, no religious ceremony, and then about $5,000 towards one big buffet with lots of food and non alcoholic drinks. If people want to say or do stuff, let em. Otherwise they can all have a fun get together and some food on me.
I had an elderly old friend of mine years ago put it to me this way …
I really don’t care what you guys do, you know why? I won’t be there.

- Comment on Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up. 4 weeks ago:
Same similiar thing happened with major newspapers about 100 / 150 years ago … governments realized that if any one group or company had control over all the information without regulation, businesses will quickly figure out ways to monetize information for the benefit of those with all the money and power. They then had to figure out how to start regulating newspapers and news media in order to maintain some sort of control and sanity to the entire system.
But like the newspapers of old … no one will do anything about all this until it causes a major crisis or causes a terrible event … or events.
