- Comment on ‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI Flaw 1 day ago:
Worked for me, but I couldn’t include any names or swearing.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 weeks ago:
This is what I was thinking too. Failure to exercise brevity is the leading cause of people not having the time for your email.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 3 weeks ago:
The natural outcome of making jobs easier in a profit driven business model is to either add more work or reduce the number of workers.
- Comment on Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn a 5-star safety rating in Europe | Euro NCAP will introduce new testing rules in 2026 requiring physical controls for the highest safety score 1 month ago:
Be still my heart
- Comment on After Copilot Trial, Government Staff Rated Microsoft's AI Less Useful Than Expected 2 months 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 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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] 4 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 4 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.

Yes.
- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 6 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.
