- 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 week ago:
Well, one way or another it won’t be too many generations. Either we figure out it’s a bad idea or sooner or later things will go off the wheels enough that we won’t maintain the infrastructure to support everyone using this type of “AI”. Being kind of right 90% of the time is not good enough at a power plant.

They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.
I hadn’t heard of this, but as far as insecticides go, this sounds about as benign as possible.
- Comment on makes more sense than this shit 5 months ago:

Your conversion took a wrong turn somewhere. BAC is just percentage, promille is parts per thousand. So to convert, multiply by ten. Making it 4,2 promille. Really shitfaced. Very potentially life threatening even if you are not driving.
- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 5 months ago:
A truly horrifying prospect.
- Comment on 'Climate change doesn't exist,' says Reform UK mayor despite third summer heatwave 6 months ago:
