I am a huge asocial nerd that lives in a hovel surrounded by vintage computers.

Hmm, do we work at the same place? I can set you up with my old camping gear…

She looks odd to me. Ever since I saw the video to Black Hole Sun…

You mean Clippy++ 2.0 auto-complete with jpgs isn’t a business model?
- Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit 3 days ago:
But you helped money to flow in the right direction, right? You helped them dusty dummies to understand that’s our stuff under their sand, right?

Or take them to a Coldplay concert.

If she’s good enough for Justin, she’s good enough for me.

Me too. I can then go back to 3D printing quantum blockchains out of room temperature superconductors in my private space station with Katy Perry.

Ah but you brought freedom and democracy to a bunch of dumb dusty people, right?

Heh, thanks. I see more and more similarity between Paranoia and the real world, as well as all the dystopian 1970s sci-fi I grew up on…

Citizen, Friend Computer has detected Bad Thought ^™^ in your area! Please do not be alarmed! Remain where you are, a team of selected Troubleshooters will begin deploying Martin-Marietta neuron adjusters as quickly as possible.
Do not worry about side-effects: Martin-Marietta’s studies have shown most people respond positively to having their neurons rewired! Plus it feels good.

Awful Idea? Anal Intrusion? Actually Irrelevant?Activating Idiocy? Adding Incompetence?
- Comment on Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species” 4 days ago:
Sure, mostly to make up for the shortcomings of BASIC 2.0. You could use a bunch of different approaches for easier programming, like cartridges with BASIC extensions or other utilities. The C64 BASIC for example had no specific audio or graphics commands. I just do this stuff out of nostalgia. For a few hours I’m a kid again, carefree, curious, amazed. Then I snap out of it and I’m back in WWIII, homeless encampments, and my failing body.

BASIC 2.0 is limited and I am trying some demo effects.

Citizen! Good news! Your writings have been randomly selected by Friend Computer for review!
A select team of Troubleshooters has been dispatched to bathe your general area in soothing Raytheon ^™^ Brain Beams until your attitude improves.

Suddenly trying to write small programs in assembler on my Commodore 64 doesn’t seem so bad. I mean, I’m still a disgrace to my species, but I’m not struggling.

That’s not the way it works. Do you think the Roman Empire just picked a particular Tuesday to collapse? It’s a process and will take a while.
- Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified 5 days ago:
Too late. The systems we are building as a species will soon become sentient. We’ll have aliens right here, no UFOs required. Where the music comes from will no longer be relevant.
- Comment on AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified 5 days ago:
I remember that X-Files episode!

Well fine, guess I’ll have to make my obese fart videos the old fashioned way. Anyone seen my kimchi?

Um, OK.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Oh OK, the only logical counterpoint is we’re going to space.
Wheeee!!! Dibs on Neptune!
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Never. Some people think the universe owes us Star Trek and are just waiting for something new to happen.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Uh, it’s called “reality” my friend, try it.
You can’t “invent” your way out of fundamental physical limits.
A Boeing 747 looks the same in 1969 as it does today. It still flies over the Atlantic in six hours burning kerosene in turbofan engines.
Sure, you can get a few percent here, a few percent there, but do you think suddenly we’ll have warp drive?
Come on. Do you know how empty and huge space is?
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Far too late as well. It will never happen.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Do you think physics and chemistry have changed in some significant way over the last thousand years?
Yet somehow, YOU can see reality in a thousand years, and it matches the sci-fi mindrot you watched as a kid…
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
If you don’t see how that’s a completely dumb comparison, this is hopeless. I’m reality-based, you are not.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 1 week ago:
Are you a Space Nutter?
It’s not going to happen. No one is going to move to space or send nukes down or mine asteroids.
Ever.

No room-temperature fusion reactors, space-based solar, or private space mining? Luddite.
