- Comment on Grok AI to be available in Tesla vehicles next week, Elon Musk says 6 days ago:
It’s because that is the only thpe of machine learning/ai that C-suites and MBAs can wrap their head around. They keep pushing it because they need to look like they ar doing something at their know-nothing/do-nothing job.

- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 6 days ago:
It’s dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

Seems like we shouldn’t encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous
- Comment on Just.....why? 1 week ago:
Who is interested in that data other than Oral-B and their competitors though? Oral-B isn’t collecting that data to sell to itself, and they certainly wouldn’t want their competition using it
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 week ago:
They have been doing machine learning for novel proteins for over 15 years now. “AI” is just a buzzword grant writers have to add these days to have any chance at funding is all
- Comment on Connor Myers: As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI 1 week ago:
AI just gives executives an excuse to layoff their staff without spooking their investors.

You can still buy gros michel bananas, they just cost $20 a bunch because so few people grow them these days
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I live in a small town, so everyone at least knows who both judges in town are. 10 years ago one had a decent reputation, the other everyone hated because he was just a bully in the courtroom. He was suspended by the state for a year back in 2021 because he started harassing a woman at the back of the court room who was minding her own business, commenting about her brother who OD’ed the week before, and then held her in contempt of court for not submitting to a drug test.
Anyway, when his suspension was up he ran for his vacant seat to try and get his pension back. So I joyfully voted against that asshole and was very satisfied to see him get absolutely clobbered since everyone in town hated him.

- Comment on Bumble's AI icebreakers are mainly breaking EU law 2 weeks ago:
Bumble was my last straw for dating apps a few years back. I paid for a the premium service for a few months, then i started dating a girl so i cancelled it. I even had an email notification and everything saying it was cancelled. Four months later i was still getting charged, and they had zero customer service contact info to try and dispute it. So i called up my bank and disputed the charges, forwarded on the cancellation email, and then got a full refund from the bank.
Fuck dating apps. They profit off the misery and loneliness of people and have every incentive to keep you single and miserable.
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 3 weeks ago:
I live in an area where half the vehicles on the road are pickup trucks and giant SUV’S. A KIA EV2 isn’t doing any added harm to the roads here.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 4 weeks ago:
I’m don’t having a functioning computer right now because i can’t afford even a used one. I’m just using the YouTube app on ny phone or tv
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 4 weeks ago:
I’ve got 500Mb fiber internet and YouTube refuses to stream above 360p unless i manually change it. Which each update becomes harder and harder to do as they hide the video quality button somewhere else.

I went to a microbiology conference a decade agothat was talking about creating novel proteins using algorithms. “AI” is a just a marketing buzzword that is meant to attract morons with MBA’s

Sure, but you won’t get guys at a bar trying to lure you onto pissing in their mouth or exchange Cleveland steamers. But most women have had a guy go straight to “nice toes”

Yeah, being into feet isn’t inherently bad. But foot fetishists are always so damn creepy about it.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
This is the inevitable result of “No Child Left Behind” linking school funding to how students performed on standardized tests. American schools haven’t been about education for the last 20+ years. They are about getting as much funding as possible.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 1 month ago:
What do you think testing is for? It’s to show what you know/have learned

The Ohio HoR just overwhelming voted to remove all state funding from any city that implements ranked choice voting. It threatens the parties in power, so they are both eager to stomp it out
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
They just pulled that in the Ohio House this week. They have been calling it “One Person, One Vote” and are going to withhold state funds to any municipality that uses ranked choice voting. It passed our house 22-5 iirc
- Comment on And sir cumference, the sphere 1 month ago:
One thing that is important to note is that King Arthur was sorta used as a template for story telling in medieval England, Wales, and France. There are dozens of conflicting stories and accounts because some tales are from the 7th century, and some are from the 14th. King Arthur and The knights of the round table are essentially a folk hero tale for the nobility of the middle ages.
Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur is the first compilation of Arthurian tales that were collected, but it was written in the 15th century and can be a real bear to read if you want something more casual.
