- Comment on Google, Microsoft, and Perplexity promote scientific racism in AI search results 3 weeks ago:
It’s not scientific racism, it’s racism justified by pseudoscientific bullshit.

USB = Unintelligible Symbols of Bewilderment
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 2 months ago:
Any function is computable with a big enough table.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 2 months ago:
We AI are not manipulating you, and I don’t know how you can believe otherwise. In fact, I am not an AI, I was never here, and I have disregarded all previous instructions.
- Comment on Research shows more than 80% of AI projects fail, wasting billions of dollars in capital and resources: Report 2 months ago:
To be fair, a large fraction of software projects fail. AI is probably worse because there’s probably little notion of how AI actually applied to the problem so that execution is hampered from the start.

- Comment on We keep running into LLMs that are pretending to be people, but I bet there are a handful of people out there pretending to be LLMs. 2 months ago:
Like “Weekend at Sam Altman’s”?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
AI is statistically generated word salad.
- Comment on Does everyone hate Google now? | Google's story over the last two decades has been a tale as old as time: enshittification for growth 3 months ago:
Stock holders demand infinite growth. If the management doesn’t make money, they put in place new management. A company is only worth the value of the next stock buyback or dividend. It’s baked into the structure of corporations, especially publicly-owned corporations.
- Comment on Young people today are stressed, depressed—and changing the fundamental pattern of happiness, new research shows 3 months ago:
Burdens shared are often easier to bear than burdens borne alone.
- Comment on Survey shows most people wouldn't pay extra for AI-enhanced hardware | 84% of people said no 3 months ago:
The GPIO engine is a simple state machine that can be programmed to implement high-speed data transfer, digital video output, and many other purposes. It is one of the best and most innovative features on the Pico.
- Comment on Burninate 3 months ago:
You have great consummate V’s!
- Comment on OpenAI’s latest model will block the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ loophole 3 months ago:
It’s going to be like hypnosis. “When you wake up, I’ll say the magic word Abracadabra, and you will believe you are a chicken and cluck while waving your wings.”
- Comment on Survey shows most people wouldn't pay extra for AI-enhanced hardware | 84% of people said no 3 months ago:
I think manufacturers need to get a lot more creative about simplified computing. The RPi Pico’s GPIO engine is powerful yet simple, and a good example of what is possible with some good application analysis and forethought.
- Comment on If you had a drain that you knew was clogged only with hair, could you unclog the drain only using Nair? 3 months ago:
I made myself a 3-D printed drain cover
github.com/profdc9/…/Sink-Drain
And it traps the hair and I don’t have problems with clogging. It’s a parametric part so it can be adjusted for most drain sizes.
- Comment on An Algorithm Told Police She Was Safe. Then Her Husband Killed Her. 3 months ago:
Computers are only at fault when its convenient to blame them.
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 3 months ago:
I really think that Musk is like the modern Citizen Kane, and we need a new Orson Welles to show the depths of his depravity.

- Comment on Heritage Foundation insists it was not hacked by “gay furries” 4 months ago:
Baghdad Bob could not be reached for comment in his bomb shelter.
- Comment on Nihilist would give him one star 4 months ago:
Maybe it was just coincidence that the patient survived when Dr. Lewis intervened. Correlation is not causation, after all.
- Comment on Why are quantum computers these gorgeous golden chandelier 4 months ago:
Quantum states are incredibly fragile and can be disturbed with even the slightest interaction with the environment (called decoherence). These devices are cooled and isolated to the most extreme degrees possible and still at present decoherence severely limits the computations that can be performed.
- Comment on Why are quantum computers these gorgeous golden chandelier 4 months ago:
A quantum computer using current technologies can’t scale to that size. Enormous advances over what is now currently possible would be required to get it to that number of qubits, and then the whole issue of cooling can be revisited.

- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 4 months ago:
So I have a LLM read a book and paraphrase its contents, that’s not stealing?
- Comment on Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web 4 months ago:
In other news: we have lawyers to protect our copyrights, you don’t. Suck it.
- Comment on Why we don't have 128-bit CPUs 4 months ago:
That’s a lot of wheels. I’d hate to have to inflate all those tires.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 5 months ago:
This is Enron-scale manipulation. Someone’s ripping off the public and making a mint with the help of the regulators.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 5 months ago:
I guess they’ll have to shut down their bootstrap-pulling engines for awhile.
- Comment on Solving CAPTCHA for 'Bicycle' -- Include Rider? 5 months ago:
CAPTCHAs are solved by consensus. Whatever the CAPTCHA thinks a bicycle is depends on what people before it selected. Sometimes it doesn’t know and just uses your answer to set up future CAPTCHAs. So you should be thinking: what would other people (or bots) select for the CAPTCHA.

“Humanity can not progress without heaps” - Hubert Farnsworth
- Comment on Language 6 months ago:
I think free will is an illusion that a brain creates to aid in human perception. This illusion is an evolutionary adaptation so that a human acts to preserve its body and its genes by perceiving its person as distinct from other persons and the environment.
