Is? It’s done already. But the bots got there years ago, so who really cares about now.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 3 days ago:
That means there’s more money to be made by other more obscure countries, right?
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 3 days ago:
I disagree. That would encourage more VPN companies to open up abroad. Two hundred countries and many don’t care what others think.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 4 days ago:
Right right, block the VPNs and destroy corporate infrastructure and WfH, and then everyone will just use more torrent clients or stream from international servers. It’s all good, my friend.

Organized? You mean like The Pirate Bay? We have had the tools for decades, my friend.
- Comment on Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn 4 days ago:
Haha not if you use a VPN or international websites or pirate that shit.
- Comment on [Research] At least 80 million inconsistent facts on Wikipedia – can AI help find them? 5 days ago:
That isn’t what most LLMs were designed for, though. It’s just one possible use case.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 1 week ago:
You think they haven’t started that?

- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
Quality? Timely? … I disagree, but to each their own.
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
You always have to think like a scammer. Sure, OpenAI isn’t public yet. But there are many other industries that are piggybacking on OpenAI and related services. So you can invest in them instead.
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
Well, the stock market on the whole is about gambling. Legalized gambling that fucks over small-time investors. So … why should long-term viability matter? The gamblers want their cash, that’s what they’re there for, and they don’t care about bankruptcy or mass economic collapse.
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
You could always play the foreign exchange market. It’s an interesting idea, usually quite stupid, but if you get the timing of the USD collapse right, there’s money to be made.
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 1 week ago:
Well that’s not true, is it. The values are insane, but sometimes insane situations occur, for a while, until the bubble bursts. Until it does, money is money, and people will spend it on things.
- Comment on Can posts like this actually be real? 1 week ago:
Doubtful. Rare situations exist, of course, but this post has no real objective, so best to assume it’s fake.
- Comment on Anti-zionism v antisemitism. Bondi Beach "F*** Israel" t-shirt man in court battle for freedom of speech - Michael West 1 week ago:
You can talk about the origin. But we all know exactly what it means now: people who want to expand Israel land area to encompass more (or all) of Palestine.
This isn’t some ambiguous political term. It is quite simple. If you think it is offensive, stop advocating for that future.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 week ago:
No you fucking dolt, it is saving the economy a ton of money to spend on other things.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 weeks ago:
Of course they will never define “fluent”. They can’t do that because then they’d be proven as lying hacks, or else setting a low bar that was met several years ago.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 weeks ago:
One of the older variations of the expression is, “The customer is always right in matters of taste.” Here we’re talking about reactions to reality, so it doesn’t quite apply directly, but still, these people are probably honest about what they feel.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 weeks ago:
It is interesting to see his reaction to reality. He finds out that people think he’s peddling bullshit, and instead of asking why they think that, he dismisses them as irrational… That’s one way to run a company, but only if your company has a monopoly and customers can’t run away even if they want to.
- Comment on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues 2 weeks ago:
The developers are lazy fuckheads. It really is that simple. And some others are vastly underfunded, but most are lazy fuckheads.
- Comment on I never understood what it was people did on Twitter. I understand it even less now that it is X. 3 weeks ago:
Yes, you did. Meh.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
Right, that meant “be slightly better than Microsoft”. They never tried to “do no evil”, no sirree, that’s far too difficult.
- Comment on China reaches energy independence milestone by ‘breeding’ uranium from thorium 4 weeks ago:
Nuclear power isn’t clean, stupid headline. Did we learn nothing from Fukushima or Three Mile or Monju? … Bonus points if you heard of Monju, which is on point because it, too, was a breeder reactor.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 4 weeks ago:
Not really comparable, maybe. This is more scam and less substance… There is no definition of “AI”, is there? If you bring up the fundamental problems with genAI, they just pivot to expert systems. Classic scam artistry. They know they’re selling hot air, promising digital workers that are already complete failures.
Of course computers will continue to be used in various ways … Just like we’ve seen since 1951, right?
- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 4 weeks ago:
Oh, I think it’s a wonderful plan for the startup. They don’t own space, they don’t have any control over space, they’re selling something that they know they can’t possibly deliver because they would have to get people to agree that they’re allowed to steal sunlight and space, and that would never happen. It’s great for them. They can get some cash.
- Comment on The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP 4 weeks ago:
Or maybe this bubble is no different from past tech improvements: mostly small changes over time, occasional big steps, certainly not linear or predictable. In other words, even if most of what you wrote is true, the bubble itself is still a complete failure.
- Comment on Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation 5 weeks ago:
Prove it.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 5 weeks ago:
No, no. It was “Don’t be evil.” A much lower standard, because it allows and encourages occasional evil acts. That meant being slightly less evil than M$.
- Comment on Always question those who are the "teachers" 5 weeks ago:
They find it entertaining. Sad, maybe, because OP didn’t bother to use their brain for a few seconds.
