- Comment on I feel like Tobey McGuire and Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) could be really good friends. I hope they meet. 1 day ago:
Did your various analyses on the plural of nemesis avoid an entire series of crises.
- Comment on I feel like Tobey McGuire and Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) could be really good friends. I hope they meet. 1 day ago:
That’s the spirit.

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 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days 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 days 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 days 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.
- Comment on A Stunning Fusion Rocket Could Cut Interplanetary Travel in Half—and We'll Try It in Just 2 Years 4 days ago:
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 5 days 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 6 days 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 1 week 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 1 week ago:
No one told the US to be careful what you wish for.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week 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] 1 week ago:
Maybe that is what is happening and you are an NPC.
- Comment on To most, consensus and truth are the same 1 week 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.
- Comment on OpenAI, in partnership with MIT, releases its first study on how ChatGPT use affects emotional well-being: Study Links Between ChatGPT Use and Loneliness. 1 week ago:
Correlation does not equal causation.
- Comment on Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges 2 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 3 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
The last half hour of Close Encounters made mundane by reality.
- Comment on I disagree. 5 weeks ago:
Well and good but how is Kasparov and his lilac marigolds anything to do with it.
- Comment on [Report] OpenAI says it found evidence of an AI-powered surveillance tool used by a Chinese security operation to identify anti-China posts on social media in the West. 5 weeks ago:
OpenAI states there are doubts over the legality of some of the actions of its competitors, further stating there are no doubts over the legality of some on its own actions.
- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 5 weeks ago:
For Android read Google backup storage equivalency - Google Drive, Gmail and Google Photos.
- Comment on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row 5 weeks ago:
They have not asked Google for similar does that mean they already have backdoor access to Android?
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 1 month ago:
It was a quote from Norm Macdonald, comedy - look it up if German search engines lower themselves with such humourous returns. The Germans are what they are, today they fought against appeasement and led a European announcement of greatly increased defense spending to support Ukraine and the world more widely, a difficult and noble decision. Filling the gap left as the US falls ever further into shame.
- Comment on Could Musk damage OpenAI even if his $100bn bid for it fails? 1 month ago:
Double, double toil and trouble, server burn and model bubble. I was there too and I believe there is a chance this is the start of inorganic intelligence. I think LLM might have hit upon the way the subconscious organic mind arrives at thought, by best guess of the most probable based on learned experience. That is then passed to the conscious mind - when you wrote your reply you did not grapple over every word, whole sentences and responses simply popped into your conscious mind passed from the subconscious where all the work was done.
- Comment on Lending e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems 1 month ago:
At a time when reading books is dwindling we who have as our ultimate sole purpose the distribution of books have decided to make it more difficult to have access to books in the hope we might make a little more money through our self destruction.
- Comment on Could Musk damage OpenAI even if his $100bn bid for it fails? 1 month ago:
He would have paid with other people’s money but I do not think it is right to think of OpenAI as grifters working a business plan. They are zealots who think they are creating an inflection point in human civilisation, my hope and my fear is that they might be right. It is not over inflated, it is not another assistant it is the start of inorganic intelligence.
