- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 29 minutes ago:
I wanted to comment on another post that had a video show how chatGPT screwed up a basic recipe live…
And now this. You know what this reminds me of? That incident back in the 90s when Bill Gates was presenting Windows 98 to the world and his OS bluescreened on live TV. No one who saw it or heard of it at that time ever forgot about it.
But the flaws of windows 98 were hammered out fairly quickly and it was a decent system (I hung onto it longer than most since it ran many 90s windows games much better than XP for obvious reasons).
With this? Despite far more money poured onto this than any OS ever had they have produced remarkably few decent results.

The problem is that some countries, like Canada, are hell bent on destroying shooting sports. No joke. The gun bans in canada over the past 5 years (there have been no changes in the licensing schemes, BTW, meaning it is not harder to get a gun than it was) is effectively turning almost all shooting sport variations untenable.
It is stupid and they need to stop that. The licensing scheme is fine enough, they don’t need to ban every semi-automatic rifle in existence or stop new handguns from being sold. The regulations on handguns in Canada were highly effective and they could have even legalized pocket pistols for collecting and casual sport shooting and it would not have made a difference.

This is why I loved the scene in F is for Family when Frank responds to the ‘be the bigger and better person and let go’ by straight up punching and knocking his abusive elderly dad after meeting up with him instead of burying the trauma further.

- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 1 week ago:
In Canada, which transitioned to metric in the 70s and 80s, people’s height are still measured in feet in casual conversation. Weights for groceries still often have lbs and kgs with them.
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 1 week ago:
The British didn’t even begin to adopt the metric system until in the last third of the 20th century or so, and even then thr transition was not immediate.

I am a big time left wing guy and I love guns. Of course I believe in gun control, but I do not believe in most gun bans.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 1 week ago:
Cut the ‘deep down they know’ bullshit. They have no principles and sincerely believe that it is their opposition, or perceived opposition, that are responsible for all things that go wrong no matter what. No matter how many people Trump fucks over or have their lives completely ruined by him, they will just blame the democrats or transgender people or homosexuals or whoever else. They genuinely cannot see what Trump and his asskissers are doing and the results it is having.
- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 2 weeks ago:
Not only that, but the embarrassment that was the birthday letter probably drove him to want to get attention off it as quickly as possible.
Also Trump is dying. He wants to cause as much hell as he can before he goes. The shitstorm this has done is really bad.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
200 yards isn’t that big of a deal for a half decent marksman. Thomas Crooks was a lousy shot but if it wasnt for Trump’s last second head movement he would have been shot through the head.
The rifle used to shoot Kirk was in .30-06 AND was a bolt-action Mauser style military rifle which has far superior ballistic qualities as a target rifle and round, meaning it is quite simple to bullseye someone’s head with a little practice and training at that distance.

Given how much information they lost during DOGE’s bullshit. I don’t think they bothered to record who the person was or even cared. Also they have a notorious reputation of never paying people.
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 2 weeks ago:
I studied coding for years and even took a bootcamp (and did my own refresher courses) I never landed a job. One thing that AI can do for me is help me in troubleshooting or some minor boilerplate code but not to do the job for me. I will be a hobbyist and hopefully aid in open source projects some day…any day now!
- Comment on AI Startup Flock Thinks It Can Eliminate All Crime In America 2 weeks ago:
Flock routinely buys leaked personal data off the darkweb. They also have a highly insecure network and a ton of false positives. They need to banned and their CEO jailed with all his assets confiscated and/or frozen.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The corrupt prosecution will probably insist that the shooting would not have happened if Luigi didn’t shoot Brian Thompson (he didn’t do that) even if the two murders are entirely unrelated.
- Comment on Too soon? 2 weeks ago:
Happy birthday!
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I just read somewhere that… well maybe this was an inside job? The reason being is that since Trump’s creepy as fuck birthday letter became public, he needed something big to distract and shut down discussion so he had Kirk shot?

Crime in the US peaked in 1993… when Doom first came out. Then it started dropping until recently.
Conclusion: violent video games cause a drop in crime.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I remember every single time someone they didn’t like died. They would rejoice in the most vile manner imaginable. Fuck them.
I am betting that Kirk’s killer was a fellow conservative who found him too soft and not hard right enough.
Or… maybe it was the same guy who killed Brian Thompson… because Luigi is innocent.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 2 weeks ago:
No, but you implied it, and you also implied that the reason we have it grow as it did is because of the government. This is bullshit. Capitalists did not invent that or the system anymore than they would have invented telegraphy, radio, telephones, and other such stuff. Even shit like the telephone was done initially out of a ‘hey do you think it can be done?’ by Alexander Graham Bell (And yes, I am sure you will bring up Elisha Grey and the race to the patent office, but even that is irrelevant).
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 2 weeks ago:
I remember when some nutcase asked Kirk ‘when will it be time to use the guns?’ referring to an all-out armed insurrection, he was in an awkward situation there. What is the takeaway? Fucked if I know…
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 2 weeks ago:
The internet would not have existed without government investment. Back when the idea of the internet was being floated around in the early 1960s the US government did contact every major telecom company in the country snd all flat out refused meaning the government had to publically foot the bill (and the work).
No, capitalists would never, ever have invented the internet.
