Be still my heart
- Comment on After Copilot Trial, Government Staff Rated Microsoft's AI Less Useful Than Expected 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, it’s not completely devoid of value, but it’s definitely not saving me any super meaningful time.
There’s some labor efficiency but I would be really surprised if it even got to an hour a week in productivity gains.
- Comment on After Copilot Trial, Government Staff Rated Microsoft's AI Less Useful Than Expected 2 weeks ago:
I have copilot at work and honestly it’s not worth the price.
The number of times it has created grossly inaccurate meeting notes or summary items basically means I can’t trust it to be shared with someone who wasn’t there, so it’s mostly just there as a roll the dice memory jogger for participants.
The components embedded in office apps like PowerPoint are absolutely useless, and that’s where I really wanted it to help.
- Comment on OpenAI: Our models are more persuasive than 82% of Reddit users 3 weeks ago:
This is the buried lede that’s really concerning I think.
Their goal is to create AI agents that are indistinguishable from humans and capable of convincing people to hold certain positions.
Some time in the future all online discourse may be just a giant AI fueled tool sold to the highest bidders to manufacture consent.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 4 weeks ago:
One of the things I love about my Lightning is that it doesn’t look like a fucking cybertruck
- Comment on Microsoft is killing its “free” VPN with Microsoft 365 subscriptions, just days after increasing prices 4 weeks ago:
Pay more, get less. Sounds like a healthy and competitive market here!
- Comment on Google offering ‘voluntary exit’ for employees working on Pixel, Android 4 weeks ago:
This is a pretty nice way of handling the situation really.
When you merge two groups like this there is redundancy created in mostly management roles, and they’re offering a severance package to anyone who wants to take it.
The alternative is just firing people who are now redundant. This is way nicer.
- Comment on Philippine president offers a deal to China: Stop sea aggression and I'll return missiles to US 4 weeks ago:
That’s a terrible idea that we’ve seen play out countless times now.
Here’s how it will go down.
- Fool offers to disarm in exchange for a promise of peace from the aggressor
- Aggressor promises
- Fool disarms
- Aggressor aggresses

Wow what a glow up, that was a lot of work!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.
So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.
When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.

That’s not really how language… or humans… or culture… work.
- Comment on Stat of the day 2 months ago:
This is a common mistake for many native English speakers and highlights the different challenges in speaking a language and writing a language.
In many regions of the US for example, “than” and “then” are often pronounced exactly the same.

- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 5 months ago:
My “office” is a network of interconnected multi-story buildings. It’s actually really convenient for me to know if I need to go meet someone in person or just use video.
Sometimes we have a room booked ahead of time and I learn they are wfh when I get to the empty room.

tl-dr;
The things he said about me and the place I live are lies and I’m upset, but surely all the other things he says must still be true.

Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.
- Comment on Solar power is shattering global records | 428 gigawatts of solar capacity was installed last year — more than in the previous two years combined. 5 months ago:
Nice, more please.
A large manufacturing facility I do some work adjacent to recently installed a massive many acres large solar facility to power the plant. Hopefully the experiment goes well and demonstrates an economic advantage that incentivizes others to follow.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 5 months ago:
I once got screwed by my mortgage provider and was helpless. I submitted a complaint to the CFPB and they contacted my mortgage provider and made them make things right. That directly translated to significant money back in my pocket.
- Comment on Average Amazon user intelligence 6 months ago:
Yeah if you go deep enough on an item there’s a good chance you’ll find that it was once something else.
Sellers don’t want to start over with reviews so they just take a retired product entry and change the pictures and item.
- Comment on Google Chrome ships a default, hidden extension that allows code on *.google.com access to private APIs, including your current CPU usage 7 months ago:
Is this for malicious harvesting or is this part of their chrome device trust product for enterprises?
