Haha well that’s one way to do it
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 3 weeks ago:
I found that page too but I don’t think that is what OP was talking about
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 3 weeks ago:
Wow you got me
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 3 weeks ago:
All due respect, wtf is a battery ship
- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s past time, the working class has basically lost the class war and we’re just running on fumes now. At the same time, the owner class is working double time to implement AI so they can employ even fewer of us.
Anyone not in a corporate atmosphere is probably not as privvy to this, but it’s insane the effort going into replacing human work with AI. Of course it’s all under the guise of ‘improving working conditions’ or ‘keeping current employee levels’ but in the end you know they’re salivating at the thought of firing a bunch of people.
And we can’t fight progress but we sure as hell should be fighting for some kind of UBI and share of the work that gets done by AI.
- Comment on Why is Trump orange? 1 month ago:
Once you start thinking about the relationship between Trump and his base like pro wrestling it all makes a lot more sense
- Comment on In the American class warfare, there seem to be an awful lot of parallels between typical Republican voters and Uncle Tom, a negro who was exceedingly subservient to his slave masters. 2 months ago:
Anyone who makes that argument has no idea how bad things can get and how fast.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 2 months ago:
Hm that seems like something I’d want even if I don’t want Windows 11
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 2 months ago:
My PC is really up to date and yet somehow it fails the Windows 11 ‘test’ you can run. Not sure why but it’s pretty nice so I haven’t looked into it.

I though Trump would be in this punchline somehow

My wife said it’s fine

Oh yeah my favorite is a plain cheeseburger with fresh sliced jalapenos. So yummy.
- Comment on I'm as white as snow but I'm still not white enough to eat this. 3 months ago:
In my experience the spicier jalapenos are also the tastier ones so I have a hard time imagining how this works.
I mean, I also probably wouldn’t eat the spicy stuff if I didn’t love the flavor - I’m not suffering just for bragging rights! So I’d definitely be down for trying something like the coolapenos here, just would be going into it with some skepticism that it’s anything more than a mild pepper with the mild flavor they produce.
- Comment on TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion 3 months ago:
IMO it’s even worse than that. At least from what I gather from the AI/Singularity communities I follow. For them, AGI is the end goal - a creative thinking AI capable of deduction far greater than humanity. The company that owns that suddenly has the capability to solve all manner of problems that are slowing down technological advancement. Obviously owning that would be worth trillions.
However it’s really hard to see through the smoke that the Altmans etc. are putting up - how much of it is actual genuine prediction and how much is fairy tales they’re telling to get more investment?
And I’d have a hard time believing it isn’t mostly the latter because while LLMs have made some pretty impressive advancements, they still can’t have specialized discussions about pretty much anything without hallucinating answers. I have a test I use for each new generation of LLMs where I interview them about a book I’m relatively familiar with and even with the newest ChatGPT model, it still makes up a ton of shit, even often contradicting its own answers in that thread, all the while absolutely confident that it’s familiar with the source material.
Honestly, I’ll believe they’re capable of advancing AI when we get an AI that can say ‘I actually am not sure about that, let me do a search…’ or something like that.

Why does that work?
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 4 months ago:
Not an expert but I’d suppose it’s nothing more than marketing getting in the way and insisting on an over engineered solution because it’s flashy

So the Dark Forest theory is true

Oh nice I’ve been waiting for this.
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 4 months ago:
I thought the larger point was that they’re using plenty of sources that do not lie in the public domain. Like if I download a textbook to read for a class instead of buying it - I could be proscecuted for stealing. And they’ve downloaded and read millions of books without paying for them.
- Comment on Google denies reports that it’s discontinuing Fitbit products 5 months ago:
It’s what Google does, launch products -> cancel them, buy products -> cancel them. I have been burned enough times by them that I don’t use anything they make anymore out of the certainty that it’ll get canceled just as soon as I’ve grown to depend on it.
- Comment on Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia 5 months ago:
You didn’t know they had a thing? It lasted until Australia found out Pluto wasn’t really a planet.
- Comment on Why does Olympic Breakdancing get top 40 music, while other events get a lot of royalty free stuff? 5 months ago:
I wonder how many songs they licensed are by artists that would actually need that kind of exposure.
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 5 months ago:
They’ve done this so many times now, one of these days we’ll know better
- Comment on Day 1 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until A) I forget too post a Screenshot or B) I somehow run out of screenshots too share 6 months ago:
That’s the one thing I finally learned with the DLC that I should have learned long before this - leaving and coming back later instead of fighting and dying to a tough boss 30 times in a row
- Comment on Day 1 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until A) I forget too post a Screenshot or B) I somehow run out of screenshots too share 6 months ago:
Huh, is this maybe the newer Tomb Raider?
I’d do this too but every screenshot I posted would just be Elden Ring.

- Comment on Meta removes special restrictions for Trump's account ahead of 2024 elections 6 months ago:
Great idea, because it’s less important to hold someone to account when they’re lying to become President. God it is so infuriating how much power loves to support power, fucking sociopaths.

You think Trump will walk away with it?
- Comment on “Don’t worry honey, I got this” 6 months ago:
Honestly, if it’s a close call Trump/SCOTUS and all their cronies will steal it anyway
