- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 day ago:
Must do something useful? You’re the one selling the damn thing. You can’t build a Pinto and then tell people “we have to stop burning to death or we’ll lose permission to keep production faulty cars.”
There is something inherently wrong with your product, and you can’t even fix it because you’re too busy shoving it down everyone’s throats.
It’s like you’re trying to bake cookies using pieces of every plagiarized baking recipe, whether or not they’re related. Then, before you’ve actually tasted the cookies, you’re telling everyone to reach into the oven and try using this “basic” cookie to modify and make their own cookies.
Except the cookies haven’t even baked yet. And before you’ve ever tasted a single fully baked cookie, you’re announcing modifications to your cookie dough recipe based on feedback from your previously undercooked, improperly made cookies.
Go back to small scale. Let people bake their own cookies at home, and report what they’ve discovered. Try upscaling those recipes, and see if you can make any parts more efficient.
And quit telling people to eat your tainted cookies that are poisoning everyone, and then telling them that if they don’t start enjoying your cookies soon, then you’re gonna have to shut down your factory.
Your cookie/Pinto/AI venture deserves to be shut down. Take the L, learn from it, and try again after you figure out how to get it right. Bake a better cookie instead of trying to make better consumers.

Did you know that it’s impossible to choke him out? His neck is just too strong. He can’t be choked out, not by any puny wrestler, stunt man, nobody can choke out- hey, what smells like shit?

I also can read! But just so I know that you understand it, why don’t you read it to me? Do that thing where you follow with your finger and enunciate syllables for me, er, for you. Not for me. I can totally read.

- Comment on 200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far 2 weeks ago:
I also got the party started by being the first to downvote myself. The first person to upvote me probably made it look like I didn’t downvote myself.
But the second person to upvote me… Now that’s the real bastard. They made my comment seem like it deserved upvotes, and ushered in others who thought this was a comment worthy of their support.
If I ever find out who gave me that second upvote… I’d probably be like, “huh? What second upvote? What are we even talking about?”

- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 2 weeks ago:
A good friend of mine who recently passed away told me about purchasing his first car, brand new, using money he made from repairing TVs around his neighborhood. He started by running tubes to the local store, testing them, and replacing them. Then, he bought a tube tester and a small stock, which he’d carry in a wagon.
There was a doctor in his neighborhood with the first model of a color TV, and the tubes would constantly overheat and pop. This was the cash cow that bought him his first car. He eventually realized that he could solve this issue by adding some active cooling to the TV by running a small fan off of one of the TV’s circuits. And that’s how he accidentally killed his first job.

I can’t find a copy of it right now, but there was a show on Nat Geo called “Going Deep with David Rees.” In it, he explores seemingly trivial concepts. One episode is about exactly this.

Lex and Superboy are friends until Lex starts and gets caught in a chemical smoke party, which Superboy blows out with his super breath. In the process, he blows smoke into Lex Luthor’s hair, which falls out. Then Lex swears to, “use all of my scientific genius to one day destroy you.”

You’ve got a good point there… Have you ever considered using your car as a weapon against bicyclists who have indirectly offended you?
It’s incredible that we feel the need to make up monsters for our movies and ghost stories when we’ve got prime examples living amongst us.

When I’m feeling really stressed out or overwhelmed, I like to get my guns out, disassemble them, admire their engineering, do a gentle cleaning, and then put them back. Of course, double checking that they’re not loaded at every step where they’re effectively guns.
