- Comment on Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation 3 days ago:
I don’t know about OpenAI, but Gemini is pretty bad and so is Google AI.
If you use a pretty good AI, they can be helpful. Even though I don’t take AI advice at face value, I use it for stock projections mainly and search for earnings report schedule of specific companies. I also use AI to hunt leads for the next potential stocks to invest. Again, I don’t take its responses as fool proof, I research before diving in head first.
AI is mainly a tool to help, not be a substitute to do your own work, at least not in its current incarnation.

I wasn’t aware about this with regards to mobile phone tbf.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 3 days ago:
When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to “while you are still going forward, I’m turning back”, which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn’t say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her “you’ve turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed”.

It took me awhile to understand the punchline (god is saying the speed of light is 1 dumbass, not calling the person a dumbass as I first thought). Does that mean the speed of light is slow?

Someone used the monkey’s paw to wish politics not to be boring.

Right…who used the monkey’s paw to wish that politics should not be boring anymore?
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 1 week ago:
Languages have their own quirks and characters, representative of what the people’s cultural values and express ideas not even present in other cultures. As many languages have to be preserved as possible.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
Truth of the matter is that predicting and determining when the stock market crashes or if a recession already happened is hard. Saying definitively “there were warning signs and I should have sold my shares” is hindsight bias. When COVID happened, everyone thought that a recession will occur and pulled out their investments. The COVID-induced recession didn’t happen and we have come with a better economy than before thanks to good handling of the economy by governments across the world. Those who sold their investments have to re-buy their shares but it is now at higher price than when they previously bought, and they missed out on potential higher profit had they stayed.
Of course, the world is not black and white and not all circumstances are the same. It is always a case by case basis and there are variables always at play. We came out well after COVID because we know that we definitely had a good leadership back then. But with economy under Trump, there is a higher chance of recession happening for obvious reasons, not just with AI bubble burst. In that case, it is still bad idea to sell all your shares because you would have to re-buy them at now premium price, but you could diversify your investments to safer countries or sectors in preparation for the high likelihood of a market crash. I have divested from US stocks and bought more European and Japanese ones, and invested in energy sector because it is more resilient even during economic troubles. I might have to rethink about my US healthcare stocks, however.

I am more shocked that there are people who are interested in “smart” furnitures and appliance.
- Comment on Spyware maker NSO Group blocked from WhatsApp 1 week ago:
If Meta actually gave a shit, they would make an actually secure app instead of putting on a play in the courts.
Yeah, you don’t hear this kind of thing about Signal.
- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 1 week ago:
Serious question, would countries with their own predominant religion also have religious books in their local hotels? Like, do Indian hotels have baghavad gitas on the bedside?
- Comment on English moment 1 week ago:
This what fascinates me learning about languages. They have their own characters and quirks. Languages are the embodiment of the people’s culture and history. That said, the English language shows how messed up it is.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 week ago:
There are anecdotes of people changing for the worse. I remember a poster who said his parents became Trump supporting bigots, even though growing up they taught OP not to be racist.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 2 weeks ago:
Social media, that’s why. The brain being cooked in dopamine all the time by algorithm and fake news fries the brain. People forgot how to be nice.

It’s funny that Trump acknowledges China thinks in decades, but hey, money speaks.

- Comment on Get a load of this guy! 2 weeks ago:
1940s don’t mean boner the same way we mean boner. It’s like the word gay. I had a boss who grew up in the 1950s and mentioned they say “gay” to mean happy and it’s an everyday word, like they would say “we’re gonna have a gay time.”
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 2 weeks ago:
Your life will be much better if you avoid commercials
Yes, but far too many people don’t know better, and they are the majority. They love targeted ads and especially that’s why so many of them are radicalised by targeted political propaganda. That’s why it’s a Sysiphean task to tell people about this, tell them to dismantle capitalism because we’re heading to its logical conclusion-- fascism. I didn’t think that Brave New World’s soma (the digital devices in our case) will directly lead to 1984’s Oceania. And what a great combo!
- Comment on Batman probably checks for the bat signal the way we check our screens for notifications. 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t catch it, despite watching 1989 Batman several times, until someone pointed out that Bruce in his mansion was looking bored and listless, until the bat signal turned on, and he looked very much animated.

I heard an anecdote of an old white American couple visiting Mexico and the wife remarked “wow, there are so many immigrants.”
- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 3 weeks ago:
The Labour under Starmer is closet Tory. I wish that the popular Manchester Labour mayor (whose name I forgot) takes his place as PM, which actual leftist politicians try to make him to be. Although this will be a Sysiphean task under the ruthless politicking in British politics and Labour Party’s own strict rule on who could become PM.
- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 3 weeks ago:
Politicians: That’s the point.
Joking aside, now that I think about it, what difference does does it make if companies are stealing infos and spying on you with government mandated age verification checks, and hackers stealing your government mandated age verification info? This just reinforces my view that governments (and companies) are nothing but glorified gangsters.

- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
And these 1/3 are perfect horde for fascist brainwashing and consolidate the power of techno-fascists. The fascists will tell the jobless that immigrants took their jobs and not robots.

I deleted my original Hotmail after it got hacked. However, I am keeping my Gmail despite Google’s monopoly practices. My Gmail username is from a time when they allow addresses like g_star99@gmail.com or skankymistress@gmail.com.

I’m talking about the Star Wars prequels. George Lucas touched upon alienation and loneliness, which is what Anakin was feeling and then exploited by Palpatine. It is starkly prescient and parallel to real life.
