- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 15 hours ago:
I have some after work martial arts classes and on the other days I practice for an hour or so on my own. I also think up what I want to cook and keep it interesting. Most of our crappy eating and snacking is due to boredom.

Reminds me of the lead up to WW1 where Germany and Britain were in a race to see who could crank out the biggest dreadnaughts.
- Comment on xkcd #3167: Car Size 19 hours ago:
It isn’t safer if all of the other drivers are also in massive suvs.
- Comment on xkcd #3167: Car Size 19 hours ago:
The number of massive trucks I see without a speck of dirt in the bed that are used mainly for commuting and groceries is pathetic.

Not depending on the US for defending them. (NATO)

Yup. Europe needs to become self sufficient again and move on from WW2 and the Cold War.

Other countries are learning how to separate themselves economically from the US more.

I’d say most of “askreddit” is buzzfeed staff looking for article material.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 weeks ago:
Hastening the coming? He needs to reread the bible then.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” - Matthew 24:36

For a 75 inch screen I’d have to watch it from my front yard through a window.

- Comment on Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With 2 weeks ago:
They may seem pointless to those outside of the organization. As long as someone is willing to pay them then someone considers they have value.
No one is “starving to death” but you’d have people just barely scraping by.

What do we need the mega rich for anyway? They aren’t creative and easily replaced with AI at this point.

Can’t AI replace Sam Altman?
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
Pub culture is definitely a thing in the UK though and I wish we had some of these neighborhood meeting places in the US too.
Fraternal/Sororal organizations used to be a big thing up to the 60s with the Elks clubs, Odd Fellows, Shriners, etc. We’ve lost a lot of that community glue.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
I had a GF who worked in a university lab where they would go to a bar after hours and she would bring me along. It was an old school Irish bar (even had pics of Sinn Féin members on the walls). I kept going after we broke up and ended up dating one of the woman who bartended. She was always passing me free drinks. I was always a light drinker though, I just nursed them. This was mostly in my 20s. I did visit another Irish pub after night class in a different part of the city and the guy working there remembered what my usual meal order was. lol

I wonder how long AI will function when it starts feeding on AI generated junk data. Like a photocopy of a photocopy.

We can send them to work camps like during the Depression.

I’d like to read the stackademic link without signing up.

This is right up there with the Louvre security being connected to the internet and was hackable. Maybe some old fashioned alarms and guards would’ve been better.
