- Comment on AI Is a Total Grift 1 week ago:
Not sure of an official difference, but my take is a grift is something that everyone’s kind of doing on the DL, but nobody is admitting that it’s a scam.
Think like a cult. Everyone’s a part of the cult, but nobody actually wants to believe they’re getting scammed or scamming others, so it’s more of a grift. People assume what they’re doing can’t last/sustain, but they do it anyway because the benefits are good.
A scam is straight up the party knowing it’s illegitimate and going out of their way to execute the scam so they can benefit at the expense of others.
Basically, I’ve always taken it as one is self aware (scam) and one is only self-aware at the top levels (grift).
But this is all just in my head.

- Comment on European Commission launching #Wifi4EU initative, 93k high-speed private access points across the EU, free of charge. 2 weeks ago:
Every site uses HTTPS which encrypts your data in transit. Even if they sniff the packets, they would spend literal decades trying to decrypt it.
Just be wary of visiting sites or sending traffic not over HTTPS. Its rare, but it does happen.

- Comment on YSK the United Kingdom has the most corrupt real estate market in the Western World. A famous Bangladesh politician bought 350 properties in England. 3 weeks ago:
I think they’re describing a market that allows for corruption like this to be done in near plain sight. You’re correct that it doesn’t inherently make the market corrupt, but it does make it exploitable by the corrupt.
If the UK government has known about this for a while and intentionally chosen not to do anything about it or set regulations/laws to prevent it from happening with corrupt foreign politicians using it to stash stolen money as real estate investments; then it’s up to the magistrates to determine if that counts as corruption and the legislators to patch the holes.
If neither happens, then it might be fair to say that the UK is corrupt, but it doesn’t sound like we have enough information to get to that point yet.

Not too young. People will tell you you will regret it, but they aren’t you. Maybe you will, but regretting a child you don’t want and cant care for is worse.
This is the better path today.

- Comment on How does AI use so much power? 1 month ago:
This is a pretty great explanation/simplification.
I’ll add that because the calculations rely on floating point math in many cases, graphics chips do most of the heavy processing since they were already designed for this pipeline in mind with video games.
That means there’s a lot of power hungry graphics chips running in these data centers. It’s also why NVidia stock is so insane.
- Comment on King forgot his crown 1 month ago:
Seems to fit the official definition pretty neatly. Colloquially, I tend to agree with you, there’s a spectrum for fraud. But this still counts as fraud. It’s a fraudulent misrepresentation of the truth to convince others to part with something of value (a gift).
The fact that it’s a gift doesn’t change that this is fraud, only the severity of fraud in a legal sense. Image

Which we’ll see how long those last. Isolationism means isolationism though. But I bet this admin can’t even do that right.

Correct. But they’re still not as much as domestic debt holders.
- Comment on Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought 1 month ago:
You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you. That’s how this works.
You can’t say there’s science to back up your claims, then not use science (burden of proof) to back up your claims.
If I claimed there was a pink polka dot elephant in the trunk of my car, that can teleport to other dimensions with its trunk; I would be required to post proof of that. If I told people to Google it, because there’s science out there that backs up my assertion, they’d tell me to get bent.
Don’t be lazy and fall into that pit trap. Post a proof, any proof, to back up your assertions, or every single person in this thread is free to ignore you and assume you’re making this up.

Its the consistent part that’s important. Everyone exaggerates by about 15-20%. Everyone.
That actually makes the self reported study accurate, if you account for that happening across all countries.
