It’ll end with 9 out of 10 packages returned and a lot of companies complaining about that.

That translates to “always tells things I want to believe are the truth.”

Maybe The Onion has a book section.
- Comment on How the Web Became Unreadable 1 week ago:
Let’s just build a new web based on the old BBS terminals, and 16 color images. Too much graphics was a mistake.

- Comment on Twinkle twinkle little star 1 week ago:
That’s like asking if boys don’t want to do stuff unless they can turn it into a game or competition.
- Comment on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities 1 week ago:
That’s the story of humanity. It’s always alarmist BS until some higher up gets personally burned and it’s suddenly red alert.
- Comment on He makes a great point 1 week ago:
Humans can’t even comprehend everything by speech alone. “I’m fine” and the need to add /s on the internet for examples.
- Comment on Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package 2 weeks ago:
In the market these days, it’s not what you’re making now but the future potential of what you might make in the future. And Musk is an expert in dreaming big and make other people believe it.

That’s dragon eye rolls, if you want to order some. They’re goood.
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 2 weeks ago:
It’s good at making up realistic looking fake data for testing and mock-ups, instead of the usual Person A in Town B.
Small scripts also work out as long as they’re small enough to print on a piece of paper.
Writing some sales fluff in a document also works reasonably well.
But those are just niche applications. For something serious it’s not really usable so far.
- Comment on Please no, just stop 2 weeks ago:
It’s a funny one. I forced it to give links to the information it produces, so I can check. There have been a number of 404s in those links.
- Comment on An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbit 2 weeks ago:
We just need to invent space construction, cheap fusion power, autonomous robotics, improve AI and set up astroid mining first, then it’ll be a snap.

A browser with added data collection.

It doesn’t have to be that style. That launcher is so flexible, you can customize your phone like crazy. Apple’s glass look, windows phone look, … But that’s me. People don’t touch my phone because they can’t operate it anymore.

Then you get the witching hour, when she’s asleep, relaxes, and all those farts escape.
- Comment on Bill Gates warns AI will take over most jobs and leave humans working just two days a week 3 weeks ago:
Because apparently that‘s a normal thing to assume in our society.
It’s just very difficult to think outside of society , to think of a working society without the organizing power of money and labor. And even more difficult to think about the path to get there.
- Comment on Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam 3 weeks ago:
And all it took was one mail address being blocked at the ICC in the Netherlands to kick them into action. Before that, the problem was mostly theoretical.
- Comment on Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban 3 weeks ago:
I’m more afraid of the AI propped stock market collapsing and sending us in a decade of financial ruin for the majority of people. Yeah, they’ll do bailouts but that won’t go to the bottom 80%. Most people will welcome an AGI for president at this stage.

A great time for those that didn’t replace their people with AI to take some market share.

Parameters are even more. A quick search tells me:
ChatGPT-4 is estimated to have roughly 1.8 trillion parameters

Hundred billion circles should be close enough
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 4 weeks ago:
like pervasive distrust of Jews
Historically that’s a manufactured thing. Christians were not allowed usury, charging interest on loans. Jews didn’t have that limitation. One solution they came up with was barring Jews from doing other jobs and forcing them into the money lender role, with the Christian landlord asking for their cut in fees. That gave Jews a reputation for being distrustful greedy bankers.

Maybe. But I always loved this scene from Young Indiana Jones.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Corporate undercuts co-ops making a loss until the co-ops die, then increase the price to make it all back. They’re predatory like that when not stopped by local laws.
