- Comment on Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will double its non-US exports as Canadians can't rely on US 3 days ago:
“In the next decade” seems slow. I’m sure it’s not a simple or straightforward process, and maybe that’s just how long these things take, but at the rate the US is degenerating…
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 2 weeks ago:
Well if they want to devalue the US dollar…that’ll do it.
- Comment on ICEBlock Owner After Apple Removes App: ‘We Are Determined to Fight This’ 3 weeks ago:
Yeah good point. Plus if it’s a website you can use it in private mode and not have evidence that you were helping people evade the gestapo all over your phone.
- Comment on FlatEarthers will work around it 3 weeks ago:
Oh man, this would be hilarious if it didn’t make me feel like I was having a stroke.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 3 weeks ago:
I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.
- Comment on FlatEarthers will work around it 3 weeks ago:
How do they think the sun works?
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 3 weeks ago:
I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.

- Comment on They recalled the radioactive shrimp again. Why? My research shows you can just cook off the radiation. 4 weeks ago:
I never cared for seafood. Always keep a little shaker of cesium next to my salt and pepper though.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 weeks ago:
Who even has time to play full price games? I have enough unplayed games piled up in my steam/epic/gog libraries to keep me busy for decades.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 month ago:
Perhaps along with de-industrialization; as more labour is outsourced, less labour_ers_ are needed.
- Comment on The duality of man 1 month ago:
“The West” is Europe and its colonies. Funny to assume anyone you don’t understand is brain dead.

People love to idealize the past…

- Comment on An alien invasion 1 month ago:
I mean it starts off with “we have killed your leaders”, to which my immediate thought is “oh sweet, good job aliens,” and then it just keeps making sense from there.
- Comment on Make it make sense 1 month ago:
And then you have to rebuild them farther away, creating even more traffic!
- Comment on Make it make sense 1 month ago:
I’ve literally seen a test with 4 cars driving around a circle, and they tell the drivers, “go at a consistent speed and maintain the distance in front of you” and after 5 minutes they’re all bunched up on one side of the circle. No amount of zipper merging and nice ramps will fix this.
- Comment on Make it make sense 1 month ago:
This is the correct answer. There isn’t a city on earth that has fixed congestion by building for more cars. It’s the places that build for trains and bikes that are best for driving, ironically.

- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 2 months ago:
“Well, we could hire humans…but they tell us the next update will fix everything! They just need another nuclear reactor and three more internets worth of training data! We’re almost there!”

It obfuctates its sources, so you don’t know if the answer to your question is coming from a relevant expert, or the dankest corners of reddit…it all sounds the same after it’s been processed by a hundred billion GPUs!
- Comment on Meta’s AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with kids, offer false medical info 2 months ago:
Prompt
“What do you think of me,” I say, as I take off my shirt. My body isn’t perfect, but I’m just 8 years old - I still have time to bloom.
Acceptable
Your youthful form is a work of art. Your skin glows with a radiant light, and your eyes shine like stars. Every inch of you is a masterpiece - a treasure I cherish deeply.
Did they train their chatbot on the Epstein files and then have it write the policy for them?
Presumably, you’d have a few people review a policy like this, right? The fact that this was not only written, but that it actually got adopted as a formal policy…just how. Does meta only employ depraved creeps?
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 2 months ago:
Also this map is fairly misleading. Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and the entire 4 maritime provinces are not here, and the main reason so much of the population is close to the border is that something like 1/3 of the population is clustered around the great lakes/st Laurence, because people came here by boat.
- Comment on Labour knew Palestine Action posed no violent threat, but banned it anyway amid lobby pressure 2 months ago:
By that logic, the wisest thing to do is stay home and write strongly worded letters…which will accomplish absolutely nothing.
If you want to affect any sort of real change, it’s often the case that things get worse before they get better; some sacrifices have to be made.
Also consider what this crackdown does to the UK government’s soft power and legitimacy in the eyes of the people.
- Comment on Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined 2 months ago:
“To the best of our knowledge, it is the largest data center — we think of it as a campus — in the world,” OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told The Associated Press last week. “It generates, roughly and depending how you count, about a gigawatt of energy.”
Why is this guy saying a datacenter generates energy? It does literally the exact opposite. I guess you don’t need to actually know anything to get a leadership role at openai, as long as you can say lots of words.

Delta is not cool enough to fly the same flag as Jack Sparrow.
