- Comment on Lawyers increasingly have to convince clients that AI chatbots give bad advice 5 hours ago:
Meanwhile I strongly suspect our legal reviewer of using chatgpt to review contracts, because he sends some laughably stupid comments that look fully AI generated.

To abscond should be in more peoples vocabulary.
- Comment on Anyone old enough to have used this before GPS? 1 week ago:
By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”
And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.
But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.

- Comment on Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained 2 weeks ago:
It’ll be quantum computing. Since the last hype around it, a lot of progress has been made to the point that quantum computers are actually becoming useful, since error correction is now mostly resolved.
- Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 2 weeks ago:
I initially thought he was great. Their cloud business was booming, it looked like they were converging their tools, windows 10 had its flaws but was pretty good. But now the tools are an enormous mess because they have changed their minds 5 times over, Windows 11 is complete dogshit and all the tools that are actually handy are paywalled behind expensive licences. Copilot is being forcefed to unwilling users and every single one of their tools is becoming worse.
So yea, I think he’s a business illiterate because there is no strategy behind this mess.

I just checked and of course the stock went up.
- Comment on Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming? 2 weeks ago:
Listen mate, the capital of Greenland is literally Nuuk. Isn’t it always winter there? As if it were a man-made nuclear winter? The Americans merely built the bomb, but the Greenlanders are the bomb. Don’t open your mouth against the Inuit or they will intuit a nuke into it.
- Comment on Do we ? 4 weeks ago:
To be honest, those baby on board stickers are pretty dumb. Nobody goes “This car doesn’t have a baby on board, awesome, now I can break check them like a maniac”.
- Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers 5 weeks ago:
A friend of mine is also left handed and I only found out when we started a game of darts and he switched hands. Under communism writing with the left hand was not allowed for some reason.

- Comment on It is theoretically possible to constantly travel so that it is perpetually daytime wherever you are 1 month ago:
I remember reading somewhere you can do this with cruises. When you are on the border UMT -11 and -12, you can have 2 and that leaves you 22 hours to travel to the border of +11 and +12. You might even squeeze an extra celebration out.
- Comment on YSK: If you're forced to use Microsoft 365 for whatever reason you can at-least get a cheaper plan that doesn't include the AI features 1 month ago:
I didn’t have the option either. Waiting for the renewal to come up and switching to Nextcloud with Proton.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
2 years ago I went to youtube without logging into my account. The amount of right wing manosphere crap being recommended to new accounts was frightening. Within 5 minutes there was a video playing of how women should be subservient to men because their role is basically a house cleaning baby factory with no free will.
I genuinely think google should be sued the everliving shit out of them for allowing this crap to be pushed. They looked at what facebook did and went “Oh, that’s great. Let’s do that as well!”
- Comment on Bruh... 1 month ago:
I’m still convinced he’s a sith lord, so I think he doesn’t talk as weird as he does when he’s not playing the bumbling idiot. But I probably would still prefer to look like him just in case.
- Comment on Woke up this morning pondering THIS question 2 months ago:
They build their homes in the pond out of reach of predators like wolves or bears. They also dig escape routes from their den under the water. They’re herbivores so it’s not for fish, btw.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
The hole for the tool (I actually don’t know the proper name) is small enough for ants to get through.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 months ago:
I’ve got 3 of those at home (actually got one as a gift last week) but we don’t use it because the open honey jar attracts ants. So we use spoons. I do like it though.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 2 months ago:
I bought my wife noise cancelling ear plugs for sleeping because I (in her words) snore like a pig. She has several recordings to back that up. So I bought her these noise cancelling earplugs (Soundcore A20 in case anyone is interested) in the hopes it will allow her to sleep. I will eventually get surgery done for it, because I also have apnea. She hasn’t put them to the test yet because it’s not always that she can’t sleep, but I hope they will serve her well.

Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.
- Comment on Russian ambassador slams EU frozen assets plan for Ukraine 2 months ago:
I don’t like Russia one bit, but there would be serious consequences (undermining the trust in the euro as a financial asset) that would have long term negative consequences, not to mention the dubious legality of the plan concocted by the European Commission and the fact that any EU country can veto the extension of the sanctions (Hungary or Slovakia being the most likely culprits) which would mean the funds are free again.
I think the Europe should finance Ukraine, but this is the wrong mechanism to do so. The only politically viable way is through bilateral country-to-country financial support, where the EC can play a coordinating role.
But the seizing of the frozen assets is just not going to work, as every lawyer involved has already stated multiple times and not a single competent finance minister in the EU (or anywhere really) would ever agree to it.
- Comment on My Religion 2 months ago:
My brother was studying to become a Jesuit and there was this running joke amongst the Jesuits about praying where they would go “Why? God doesn’t exist.” This may sound hypocritical and it kind of is, but they consider the religion more a moral framework rather than something to rigorously believe in. That’s also why Pope Francis resonated with many non-believers because, at least the modern Jesuits, apply the moral lessons of the New Testament with a healthy dose of rationality (they are considered the intellectual branch of the church for a reason).
Very few, if any, Jesuit these days believe in the existence of a god, but they find value in the moral framework and how they can apply that to make this world a better place. It’s the only religious order I can stomach to have conversations with.
- Comment on As AI wipes jobs, Google CEO Sundar Pichai says it’s up to everyday people to adapt accordingly: ‘We will have to work through societal disruption’ 2 months ago:
Pichai will have to work through the disruption of having set billions of dollars on fire and seeing hardly any returns.
- Comment on EA Announces No F1 26 Next Year, F1 25 Will Get a Major Expansion Instead 2 months ago:
Initially it made a lot of sense though. The differences between each fifa version between the first one and 2003 were massive with each iteration. But as the graphics got better and better and the gameplay was more or less settled, it became less sensible to have a new edition each year. After fifa 2003 there were noticeably less differences between the iterations.

The copilot in outlook feature is super handy for summarizing mails from one colleague who writes half a novel each time. That’s about the only handy use I have found for it, for the rest it’s annoying.
