- Comment on Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation 20 hours ago:
That would be nice, but outside of major cities, I can’t see that happening.
I may just have to start wearing a hoodie and mask everywhere. I really, really don’t like the idea of these glasses.

Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this?

Can someone EL5 me on how this is different from our data being stolen under the Patriot Act for the last two decades?
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 5 days ago:
Nice.
I recently sold a portion of my crypto at a profit and am just keeping it in a money market for the moment. I want to have a certain amount to throw in stocks when the next crash comes, but don’t want to lose out on some of the good things happening now in terms of investing.
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 5 days ago:
It’s true. A person has to make the best choices for themselves.
Oil stock, in my case, paid off my student loans and paid for the down payment on my home, and just in time too given that the US leaders have allowed things to get so bad for the people in those arenas.
The way I justify it to myself is that, as far as investing goes, I am among the smallest of the small fish. Unless you own enough to sway votes in a public company, your investment doesn’t particularly matter as far as a company’s policies and behavior.
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 5 days ago:
Oil stocks were down 90% in March 2020. That’s what I went with. You can profit off a lot of things if you’re willing to hold for a few years.
- Comment on MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing 5 days ago:
I hope you’re all keeping some money set aside for when the AI bubble pops. It could end up being the best time to invest at a discount since March 2020.
- Comment on If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? 5 days ago:
Could be you’re right. I don’t know, and I hope I don’t live to find out.

I think that, in a world where legal systems have collapsed completely and billionaires have survived, I don’t think labor will be a matter of choice anymore. I think they’d turn to slavery and likely already have designs on how they’d do it.

Current general LLMs are decent for prototyping or example output to jump-start you into the general direction of your destination, but their output always needs supervision and most often it needs fixing.
This.
LLMs do not produce anything that can be relied upon confidently without human review, and after the bubble pops, that’s only going to become more true.
Hell, I’m glad the first time I ever used it it gave me a
buggedhallucinated and false reply. I asked it to give me a summary of the 2023 Super Bowl and learned that Patrick Mahomes kicked a field goal to win the game. - Comment on If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? 6 days ago:
Oh, they’ve planned for it. They have their billionaire bunkers. Bezos has three that we know of.

Haven’t really had anything I’ve enjoyed lately, but I am ready an exceedingly good video game-esque novel. It’s called ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’.

Switch to Mint, folks! It’s easy and works just like Windows, except better.

They don’t.
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 weeks ago:
Probably. I haven’t read JL in a long time.

Oh cool. I didn’t know that. :)
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 weeks ago:
It’s actually worse than that.
Batman actually keeps green kryptonite in the Bat Cave as an insurance policy, should Superman ever go rogue. He has contingencies for everyone in the Justice League except Wonder Woman.

Rolling blackouts, my dude. Dig it.

Bleak.
One of the great things about my screws coming loose is that I’m actually happy alone. I wish everyone could be.

You can rip MP3 files by using a Youtube-to-MP3 converter.
Just stop using Spotify entirely.

Do it.
It’s easy. Just use a Youtube-to-MP3 converter.

Most of the MSM outlets report it that way, and it always feels ghoulish as fuck to me.

My eighty year-old parents are driving for DoorDash. In my car.
If they don’t, this supposedly ‘free’ country of ours will allow banks to force them onto the streets where they will be left for dead.
Fuck capitalism.

And yet, still illustrative of the parasitic, evil mentality of billionaires.
- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 3 weeks ago:
Smart and evil.
His company could buy a fucking bank and start a movement toward more equitable housing. It is possible to turn a profit without destroying people’s lives.
Instead, he’s stacking money on top of people’s corpses.

Exactly. I saw the headline and it just made me a little sick watching this guy, that so many think is the ‘good billionaire’ casually tossing out that he’s a-okay with finding people who’ve been fucked over by the banks and housing markets and stacking more cash he’ll never actually live to spend off of the corpses of their American dreams.

Just in case you needed another reminder that all billionaires are bastards.
