- Comment on If we have Black Friday after Thanksgiving where everything goes on sale. Does that mean April 5 is Orange Saturday where everything gets more expensive. 3 days ago:
Every day is Orange Saturday.
- Comment on Hype-fueling science fiction or plausible scenarios? 5 days ago:
Thanks, I do want to read that as I do not believe the current developments in AI to be hype, I think it is probably an inflection point in our civilisation. More even than that really, I think in a universal way an argument could be made the point of organic intelligence is to bring about inorganic intelligence. But it is an afternoon read and I have to find an afternoon.
- Comment on Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess. 1 week ago:
Elon is that you.
- Comment on The people who first invented tools had to invent inventing tools without tools. 1 week ago:
Before that they had to invent invent inventing.
- Comment on Why does Britain feel so poor? 2 weeks ago:
Because the money is being siphoned off and away from the population to just exactly the places you would guess. It is more evident in Britain as we are a later stage capitalist state than most.
- Comment on If you have a thread 9.6trillion millimeter in length, you can circle the earth with it for about 239.5 times. 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t a shower thought it’s a shower fact, assuming the maths is accurate. It is the same as defining as a thought as the idea that when you heat water its temperature increases.
- Comment on Sick notes to be overhauled in back-to-work drive, Liz Kendall reveals 2 weeks ago:
This is a pure Orwellian management of ill health in a population. Universal good health being manufactured across the nation not by improvement in the health services and the kind treatment of people but by prohibition of the concept of sickness.
- Comment on I feel like Tobey McGuire and Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) could be really good friends. I hope they meet. 3 weeks ago:
Did your various analyses on the plural of nemesis avoid an entire series of crises.

That’s the spirit.
- Comment on I feel like Tobey McGuire and Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) could be really good friends. I hope they meet. 3 weeks ago:
You are thinking about Toby Maguire and Steve Burns being really good friends while you are in the shower?
- Comment on Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble 3 weeks ago:
2022 was only a pandemic that at the time many thought might decimate the population and caused a near global house isolation response, this now is far worse.
- Comment on An Elegant Writer For A More Civilized Age 3 weeks ago:
This is talking about cases. This is an article about a bloke in his basement making Dr Who cases for your Windows 11 rig and making it sound like we are now The Culture.
- Comment on Leading AI models fail new test of artificial general intelligence 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t read it and don’t have an account.
- Comment on Keir Starmer’s Government Has Quietly Beefed Up Its Workers’ Rights Bill to Make It More Pro-Worker 3 weeks ago:
They are called Labour I suppose, more of this. What has become lost from our politics is the unannounced introduction of measures to help people.
- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 3 weeks ago:
Do you think Google is proud of this work, do you think the people working on double serving ads feel pride in their ‘experimentations’. In their personal time and at the end of their lives will they be happy they took things people liked and made them worse, even unusable for their money. That their only contribution was to scrawl their mess over that of others. Do they cling to the idea that it makes delivery free at the point of use as they make far more from their low practices than they from would honest subscriptions. Are they glad that their living makes the world more mundane. Happy to mar the endeavours of humanity, and as we push into space and maybe meet other intelligences ours will be the only ships with ads for toilet rolls on the outside. And throughout all of this shame the kicker is we would buy toilet rolls anyway.

It is pretty close to the first of April.
- Comment on Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot 3 weeks ago:
I must say that is an extraordinarily good plan.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 3 weeks ago:
Describing the ability to make a local account as a loophole is letting a little too much real intention slip out.
- Comment on Child poverty hits record high in UK with nearly 4.5 million in low income households 4 weeks ago:
And who do those 4.5 million low income households vote for now because it’s very clear Labour are not watching out for them.
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 4 weeks ago:
No one told the US to be careful what you wish for.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I think the idea was that this is the simulation you outlined and so if you are not ‘Trump, Elon, Zuck etc’ then you aren’t playing, you are a bot.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Maybe that is what is happening and you are an NPC.
- Comment on To most, consensus and truth are the same 4 weeks ago:
Consensus is the instinctive collective response of the mind to the world whereas truth is its regimented output. This is most obvious in the evolution of language, the truth in this instance is things like definitions, syntax and grammar but this is all after the event and looking back explanation. The real growth of language is from consensus. The definition of the word gay in original form by etymology was carefree and happy which is it’s truth but by consensus of usage it was altered to mean homosexuality, which is an entirely separate definition. The consensus idea very easily overran that of truth and became what is real.

Correlation does not equal causation.
- Comment on Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges 5 weeks ago:
No this is not good logic because the specific people that buy your product and use third party supplies know it to be untrue.
- Comment on AI ‘wingmen’ bots to write profiles and flirt on dating apps 1 month ago:
Everything is catfishing, when you put your best foot forward or wear your best shirt or be funnier or cooler than you actually are. Same as couples used to court but courting is grooming, it is the modern world’s desire to terrorise everyone into passivity by demonising the simple everyday activities of life.
- Comment on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge 1 month ago:
A lot of people won’t know but Edge is a browser made by Microsoft that nobody uses and now less than no one will use.
- Comment on Bing officially removes cache link from search results 1 month ago:
If you don’t know what bing is just google it.
- Comment on Two conversational AI agents switching from English to sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents 1 month ago:
The last half hour of Close Encounters made mundane by reality.
- Comment on I disagree. 1 month ago:
Well and good but how is Kasparov and his lilac marigolds anything to do with it.
