- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 4 days ago:
The current regime is full of ignorant buffoons but at least in that case it would normally be temporary.
In the private model where the gov pays for everything anyway, the taxpayer pays the cost of doing the thing plus whatever profit the oligarch wants to make and you have no way of switching to another oligarch should the current one becomes unacceptable. There is simply no upside to SpaceX as a private entity
- Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government. 1 week ago:
that was always a transparent excuse… only a total rube would believe that was a legitimate reason to sell guns like popcorn in a theatre

- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 2 weeks ago:
You’re moving the goalposts. You said you need nuance in how to measure a shirt size, you’re arguing just to argue.
I said I needed context to verify AI was not giving me slop. If you want to trust AI blindly, go ahead, I’m not sure why you need me to validate your point
If a model ever starts answering these curiosities inaccurately, it would be an insufficient model for that task and wouldn’t be used for it.
And how would you notice unless: you either already know the correct answer (at least a ballpark) or verify what AI is telling you?
You would immediately notice this is a bad model when it tells you to measure your neck to get a sleeve length
What if it gives you and answer that does not sound so obviously wrong? like measuring the neck width instead of circumference? or measure shoulder to wrists?
So I’m making the assertion that many models today are already sufficient for accurately answering daily curiosities about modern life.
And once again I tell you that you can trust it blindly while I would not and I will add that I do not need another catalyst for the destruction of our planet so I can get some trivia questions answered. Given the environmental cost of AI, I would expect a significant return, not just a trivia machine that may wrong 25% of the time
- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 2 weeks ago:
but to dismiss their utility completely is just idiotic.
not what I said at all. I simply stated AI answers cannot be trusted without verifying them which makes them a lot less useful
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 2 weeks ago:
not at the current cost or environmental damage
- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 2 weeks ago:
The last thing I googled is how to measure dress shirt size. Do you need context and nuance for everything you Google?
if AI is answering, yes.
Do you prefer to click on the seo optimized first page results that are full of ads and read through a nonsense article…
No, but that’s not what i claimed so you can have your strawman back
Most of the Internet is NOT intellectual writing, it’s blog spam to answer your daily curiosities and practical needs. A sufficienty trained model is a really good (and environmentally friendly) alternative.
Let me know when we get one. In the meantime, enjoy your thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 2 weeks ago:
…and it’s only expensive and ruins the environment even faster than our wildest nightmares
what you say is true but it’s not a viable business model, which is why AI has been overhyped so much

people still on twitter are complete, brain washed idiots… so this behaviour tracks
- Comment on News outlets in crisis mode as Google-led AI search push crushes website traffic 2 weeks ago:
why would you read a whole article to answer a simple question when AI gives you the answer directly?
context?, nuance?, verifying the AI slop?

Tell me you are blind to privilege without telling me you are blind to privilege…
I get what you are saying but claiming that Capitalism and the Free Market got you there is laughable.
A shit ton of people in the USA do not actually have a choice in carrier and choice of phone seriously depends on how rich you are, the spread is wide!
More importantly, how many people do you think have the tech knowledge (or access to pay) to get an open source OS in their phones?

Maybe the western world can be given some credit on being a tad more subtle, but overall the difference here are in tecnique, not goals

I still don’t get how anyone thought this notion was ever considered a good strategy for anything… it clearly shows these people have no skin in the game because there is no way they would break their own things

- Comment on SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S 4 weeks ago:
Well, the truth of that is quite a bit different than how you put it, and it’s also more carrot than stick.
True, I misremembered… however, this is anti-competitive practice 101 anyway
What Microsoft did surely sucked for everyone, but fortunately, we live in a world where their recent efforts to do similar things aren’t working.
But the fact they keep trying these anti-competitive strategies and have no consequences for them is a problem. We cannot rely on “it didn’t work for them this time” as if that is a solution because next time it would work for them and then we are all fucked for another few decades
