Chopping up the ship to sell for firewood while you are sailing on it.
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 5 days ago:
I am not sure if you are a student of history but twice before the Germans decided to go to war and have as their foe the world.
- Comment on ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off 5 days ago:
I am not sure 1.5m Germans all deciding on a single course of action is something to be happy about.
- Comment on Google has dropped its promise not to use AI for weapons. It’s part of a troubling trend. 5 days ago:
Google: ‘I am bored, today lets make ourselves a legitimate target in a war’.
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 6 days ago:
See that bandwagon over there, I am going to jump on it.
But everyone already is on it.
Merde.
- Comment on The extremely rich would rather not have another Einstein unless they knew they could control them and it wouldn't hurt the bottom line. 6 days ago:
Poochie we have to move past this, the reason you failed Basic Physics is not because the rich are trying to hold you back.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 week ago:
What comes for people today will come for them tomorrow.
- Comment on Every time there's a new type of "prove you're not a robot" gate put up on a website, I don't have to figure out the human answer, I have to figure out what a robot thinks is the human answer. 1 week ago:
That is what a robot would say.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 week ago:
Yes but this is not a move to increase civil rights within a still recognisable political system it seems to be the openly declared transition from a democracy to something else via an explorative but expanding coup that is being actively ignored by the sitting powers and wider population.
- Comment on Man, their reputation really has gone to shit 1 week ago:
I think that extends to America generally, all the talk of freedom and equality and now so easily camps are being set up to concentrate undesirable groups of people in and everyone is complying or pretending it’s not happening.
- Comment on Glass ceilings are not necessary see-through. 1 week ago:
I think the entire point of the glass ceiling analogy is that it is see-through. When you start on a low rung you can see your career path potentially rising to the very top and you are told with hard work this is the case but in reality some unspoken filter the company has will not let you progress above a certain level. If the ceiling can not be seen though it is just a position that is openly constrained and loses all the nuance of the modern world telling everyone they can be anything when they really can’t.
- Comment on This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone. 1 week ago:
Is there not some flaw in this logic in that you are asked to decide if you wish to see a photograph before you have viewed it. Maybe we need an additional app on top of the Safety Core, called something like Android SneakPeek that lets you have a quick flash.
- Comment on Tree Shredder > Guillotine 1 week ago:
They may well be but they have no science education, have obtained their position through a lucky fall of the chips and are not that bright. I am sure there are companies that tell them what they want to hear and take their money but that does not alter the fact that any real longevity treatment is generations away.
- Comment on Tree Shredder > Guillotine 1 week ago:
It is not a very real prospect it is a grift, you could get enough genetic material to clone the gullible idiot but archiving memory, personality and brain structure is not even close, the frozen brain is just jam. And even if it were not there is no way to return that information. Jam, its all just jam.
- Comment on No one takes time to parse which germans in germany between 1933-1945 supported the NAZIs and which didn't. 1 week ago:
About the same proportion as is actively pretending not to notice now.
- Comment on As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan 1 week ago:
When they cut winter fuel allowance do you think their own homes went cold. When they cut benefits do you think they will cut their own tax payer funded expenses, because expenses is just another word for benefits. Everything you need to know is right there in those two questions.
- Comment on DeepSeek’s rise shows why China’s top AI talent is skipping Silicon Valley. 1 week ago:
I am unsure so much should be spoken of innovation here, good luck to those Chinese researchers but DeepSeek really only is KhatGTP.
- Comment on As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan 1 week ago:
There have been many studies suggesting austerity measures do not provide real improvement and may trigger downward economic spirals. Cutting benefits is an attempt to provide an underpaid workforce to corporations siphoning wildly unequal shares of profit off the wider population. A thing which also leads to downward economic spirals. So it is not different in the least to the Conservatives, neither party places the welfare of the majority of its constituents above that of business.
- Comment on School phone bans don't boost grades or wellbeing, study suggests 1 week ago:
Repeated intermittent forced withdrawal from an addicting influence shows no significant positive impact on comprehension in the short term.
The authors go on to suggest water is wet.
- Comment on Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
How about domestic then, we promise not to make domestic killer robots for urban pacification, read control. Unless the domestic population requires it of course. Or we deem it necessary ourselves, or we feel like it. Your compliance with this message is assumed by the act of reading it.
- Comment on Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
I remember when the motto was do no evil, now it is we promise not to make killer robots.
- Comment on Workers at NASA Told to ‘Drop Everything’ to Scrub Mentions of Indigenous People, Women from Its Websites 1 week ago:
When it is easy everyone thinks they are Oskar Schindler but when it is hard most people are Hugo Boss.
- Comment on The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover 1 week ago:
‘So this feels like a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world’, they call that a coup.

‘I shall become the thing I hate’, Duke Nukem.
- Comment on UK shoplifting on the rise and more brazen, new survey says. 2 weeks ago:
The plundering of communities for profit to the point of collapse is being overseen by the people put in place to protect and manage society and now there is surprise and shock that people will not go home and quietly starve to death?
- Comment on Water bills in England and Wales to rise by £123 a year in April 2 weeks ago:
The great business minds running these public services into the ground for profit without any thought for the society that needs them and patting themselves on the back for being so business savvy should maybe stop plundering monopolies and move into the actual private sector and see how able they are there with real competition but I think we know the answer to that one. And while we are about we could stop tax payer funded regulatory and watchdog bodies that are constantly learning lessons after being discovered to not even provide the most basic functionality for which they were set up and then going right back to the same old willful negligence.
- Comment on Britain will not recognise Trump’s new name for Gulf of Mexico 3 weeks ago:
The Torygraph never did pretend to be egalitarian.
- Comment on Microsoft Bing is trying to spoof Google UI when people search Google.com 5 weeks ago:
This is a search engine showing open evidence of skewing results away from true for their own motivations. Slightly comic when it is Microsoft doing it to Google but if they do this so blatantly how else are they more subtly redirecting our searches towards biased or even false results that benefit them and misinform the user.
- Comment on DWP spent £50,000 trying to stop release of review into disabled man’s death 1 month ago:
The Department had found that to meet transparency targets it was quicker to increase opacity and thereby loop around and back into transparency from the wrong direction.
- Comment on Is consciousness dependent on input to the brain? 1 month ago:
People placed in isolation tanks for long periods have reported that consciousness seemed to become more vivid when deprived of external stimuli but that it was increasingly less grounded. Without real world input consciousness does not shut down it constructs its own simulated input.
