I directly quoted a study from Duke University, how is that “even less substance” that your anecdote?
- Comment on OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform 2 weeks ago:
Cool anecdote. Every time we actually see real data, though, the numbers don’t reflect any productivity gains or increased efficiency or better output. People say that LLMs are useful because it feels useful, but we aren’t seeing actual usefulness. The most recent study out of Duke University observes “a productivity paradox, in which perceived productivity gains are larger than measured productivity gains, likely reflecting a delay in revenue realizations.”
A delay. Sure.

Robots aren’t like software, it’s immediately obvious when they don’t work the way they’re advertised whereas chatbots can trick people into thinking they’re way more useful than they actually are.

The most frequent porn watchers don’t fantasize about meeting new people and having sex with them, they fantasize about having sex with someone that’s already nearby so they don’t have to go anywhere or do anything.
- Comment on Which government he might be talking about 🤔 3 weeks ago:
And wouldn’t you know it? The same states where child marriage is legal are also states where marital rape is treated as legally distinct from non-marital rape. As recently as 2003, twenty-six states retained marital immunity in one form or another.
In Iowa, for example, subsection (2) of article 709.4 Sexual abuse in third degree, excludes sexual acts committed by adults with children as young as 12, provided the parties are “cohabiting as husband and wife.”

Child marriage is legal in most states.

Even if you want to give some people the benefit of the doubt because of poor education and indoctrination, Mueller went to Princeton. He went to Vietnam knowing exactly what he was signing up for. He wasn’t tricked. He wasn’t desperate.
He just really wanted to kill indigenous resistance fighters, because that’s the #1 USAmerican passtime.
- Comment on The difference is real 3 weeks ago:
So he went to Vietnam to avenge his monster friend who was rightfully killed for being an invader?
We’d be better off as a society if every single person who volunteered for Vietnam never came back.

Let them fight.

Mueller enlisted for Vietnam
Anyone who would volunteer for that war is a fucking monster.

The difference between and hour walking and biking is easily 10+ miles, not exactly negligible if you have somewhere to go.
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 4 weeks ago:
Why the fuck are you talking to me like that? Why can’t we just have a discussion without the personal attacks?
Patriot missiles are running low, and when those run out intercepting missiles will get much harder. How do you think that happened? Maybe I’m just a stupid worthless piece of shit, but it sure fucking looks like Ukraine depleted the US’s stockpile.

… no I think that’s actually the first of your worries. You need to find a new job, which means you need to work on your resume immediately.
- Comment on There are people in first world countries with only 1 hard drive 4 weeks ago:
If you got laid off how would you even apply for another job?
- Comment on Without a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war 4 weeks ago:
They helped deplete the US’s munition and now they’re in a much worse position to fight Iran.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 4 weeks ago:
The world watched a livestreamed genocide in Gaza before Trump. That world wasn’t good.
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 4 weeks ago:
The world will be better off if the US and Israel lose. If they’re allowed to do whatever they want we’re all going to die.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 4 weeks ago:
I want the US to lose. 🤷♀️

More a problem with the marketing, right? Imagine if guns were marketed as safe and helpful back scratchers, and then someone shoots themselves because they used the gun to scratch their back.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 5 weeks ago:
It doesn’t sound like people bend over backwards to give me a job. I work in a factory. They bend over backwards to give rich people jobs, and it has literally nothing to do with being queer. You’re getting mad about gender, when you should be mad about inequality.
Which is the point.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 5 weeks ago:
It’s important to me, a trans person, that I’m allowed to take my medicine, use the bathroom that aligns with my gender presentation, and be addressed with my chosen pronouns. But I don’t matter to you, I’m just a freak and the source of your problems.

- Comment on Device that can extract 1,000 liters of clean water a day from desert air revealed by 2025 Nobel Prize winner 1 month ago:
That’s still embodied energy, so the question becomes; “How much energy does it take to actually make these materials?”
In particular, the device is packed with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are synthetic porous materials engineered at the molecular level to have huge surface areas. A few grams of an MOF can have a surface area equivalent to a football arena, according to the source.
That sounds pretty energy-intensive to me.
