A long time ago I was in old Blighty for the first time for work and the locals took care of me foodwise. I remember getting all the usual “English food is terrible” remarks before going and I didn’t know any better so I was worried when I arrived.
Everything was delicious, I loved all of it. The full English especially, that could power you through supper.

God damn it, if the US collapses who will supply weapons to all its peaceful democratic allies in the world? I’m super fucking pissed off about this.

Let me guess though, Russia doing the same things is just pure evil or propaganda. Because guess what? Countries don’t do any of the things you mention out of Christian charity, they do it for power and control.
GTFOH with your soft pedaling of this bullshit.

Pfff next thing you’ll tell me is that 3.5" floppies are obsolete too?

Is “US soft power” a euphemism for sowing destruction and proxy wars everywhere? Or do you mean things like the awful show NCIS being barely disguised pro-Israel pro-war propaganda? Like that?

People need housing, no one needs this AI crap. Even in boring engineering jobs using tools that solved problems decades ago, we are getting AI shoveled in left and right in places no one needs or wants it. And calling old features “AI” is also another problem.
And now these stupid “barking bears attacking fat sleeping people” videos are everywhere, and people seem to think they’re real.
We should focus on natural intelligence first, that is to say each other, and education…
Oh and the headline should read “Every day”, “everyday” is an adjective, like an everyday occurence.

And the internet was once simply a handful of interconnected university mainframes transferring text. What are we doing right now?

Who needs any of this digital feces? Not want, but need? I don’t have a single problem that can be solved with technology these days.

Well, if it spreads democracy overseas, stands to reason it will work even better locally.

Do you think if we pool every AI in the world it will be able to figure out the difference between its and it’s? Seems unlikely.

- Comment on AI has had zero effect on jobs so far, says Yale study 1 week ago:
Just bring on the leisure society with UBI. We’re awash in renewable energy, right? Why does everyone need to work, especially the meaningless kabuki theater of modern office work?

- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
I’m waiting for actual fire to start in my laptop before switching. I’ve had to do so many tricks to keep Win 7 going that I’m invested in keeping this thing going as long as possible. Plus all my porn is on it.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
I am horrified by what computers have become, from expensive magical tools to solve real problems, to ubiquitous shit-shoveling malware appliances controlled by some of the worst elements of society.

- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. Take a routine problem and invent a new language for it. Then split it into various incompatible dialects, and make sure in all cases it requires computing power that no one really has.
