- Comment on 'Something really shifted': Inside the software company that laid off 40% of its staff 2 weeks ago:
“But new jobs will be created,” they say.
Have you looked at entry jobs these days? Those new jobs are going to require 5 years of experience for something that didn’'t exist 6 months ago.

Reminds me of the apartment complexes from Cells at Work
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 2 weeks ago:
In a nearby harbor they were crying out for dock workers. You have to be at location, but there was no transit option. The nearby city was too expensive for housing for the salary they got so the commute by car from somewhere affordable was long and not worth the pay. Commuting isn’t free.
- Comment on Why aren't we doing this 2 weeks ago:
“We expected that they fly around each other and they never have physical contact,” Hristov said. “We have found, shocking to us, that bats crash into each other quite often. It’s a messy situation, but generally it’s very safe and it works very well.”

Looks like it’s one of those romantic movies that in real life would be cheating.
- Comment on COWARDS! 3 weeks ago:
but it sure as shit rhymes.
because it always comes down to human nature and that hasn’t changed. Greed, idiot leaders, apathy, devotion, revenge, … Stories about that are as old as writing.
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 3 weeks ago:
Remove pedestrians, biking and transit because they take up car space. Now everyone drives and you’re 45 minutes stuck in traffic.
- Comment on Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies 3 weeks ago:
Yes, some great “pride and accomplishment” vibes. Anothergreat slapnouncement for another slupdate from good ol’ microslop. Just fought with their onedrive not wanting to work because the installed onedrive is too new, and somehow forgetting my account when opening a shared document, functionality not present in the web version, … So much just getting in the way with doing the task you need to do.

- Comment on Superconductors that operate at room temperature and no electricity loss? Harvard team of physicists map samples at millionths of a meter to correlate behavior with temp, pressure, stoichiometry, etc. 3 weeks ago:
I like that you can build a global energy grid with superconductor. Power Europe at night with the solar panels in Australia, that kind of thing.
- Comment on I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa, 3 weeks ago:
Everytime people start talking about age extension, I’m reminded of the old geezers we have now staying in power for another century and how bad that would be for us.
- Comment on I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa, 3 weeks ago:
An allegory to people being forced to work way past retirement age because of the economic system going bonkers and its consequences.

Foie gras version of enshittification
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 weeks ago:
So we have to make a new programming language that uses keywords that are slurs and curses so not allowed to be used by LLM. PI+. Politically Incorrect programming language.

Is goatse.cx still around? Have that in QR for the meta glasses.
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 3 weeks ago:
Pax Americana is coming to an end. The de facto empire that USA formed is declining. And usually the decline is because the nobility got greedy, what makes the owner class go in a looting frenzy and the hollowing out from the inside go faster.
The whole AI thing is one last hail mary of the elite to still pull ahead and score, to maintain control of basically the world. If it fails then somebody else like China probably takes the lead. China’s been riding USA’s bumper for some time now.
What makes it even more bizar is how the British found out they were no longer the big power at the Suez canal and USA seems to be doing a repeat at Hormuz.

Answer from tech bros: is going to be an exponential loop of AI self improvement right into Super Intelligence
Reality: model collapse, bad performance, weird bugs, if it runs at all
- Comment on Trump’s counterrorism chief, whose own wife was killed by ISIS, quits over Iran War saying Tehran posed ‘no imminent threat’ to US 3 weeks ago:
And as we noticed, Israel equating anti zionist with antisemitic made a number of people shrug and go “guess I’m antisemitic now.”
- Comment on Major investor is 'shocked and sad' that the games industry is 'demonizing' generative AI 3 weeks ago:
similar to the majority of reddit users
The famous “a sense of pride and accomplishment” incident comes to mind.
- Comment on Europe’s ‘tech sovereignty’ ambitions carry security risks, military warns 3 weeks ago:
Then do a military stimulation and assume all American tech had a kill switch triggered. See how far you get.

Telling the world Iran will have nukes in a few weeks since 1992
- Comment on relatable 3 weeks ago:

Great question, Mr. Koyun.
First, you start with hiring great people to do the task you want. Do you need more information about hiring practices and selection criteria?

My Honor, I submit this post as exhibit F95 why the rich will be eaten
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
ChatGPT told him it was possible. Then he spent a few grant on DNA sequencing and other machine learning to make it work. So step 1 here is being rich.
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 4 weeks ago:
It’s more like the old adage but extended: “To err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer, but to make an unbelievable mess you need an AI.”
- Comment on Haha yes society is great 4 weeks ago:
Every society values status and wealth. This time we’ve taken that to the extreme, to the exclusion of everything else. It’s going to be one of the failed experiments in history.
Ancient Greece even had those episodes where the rich managed to get farmers deep in debt. A bunch of them just left. Another bunch became serfs. The end result was productivity tanking and food security becoming problematic. Cue debt relief, changing laws, … The rich will always fuck it up for everybody and themselves given enough time, sometimes they learn, and they do it all again a century later.
