Nah the emphasis was the italics.
- Comment on rest in pepperoni 4 days ago:
Agreed. That’s why I put “scare quotes” around the word “do” to imply that he actually did do something. I wasn’t defending them I was responding specifically to the comment above.
Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.
The why is simply that disrespecting the fans that supported your success is a recipe for failure.
- Comment on rest in pepperoni 4 days ago:
He didn’t do anything. He’s just another artist/entertainer who doubled down on magatry despite their career being built by a diversity of loyal fans.
Wayne Gretzky is still considered the greatest hockey player of all time… but as far as most Canadians are concerned his home ice is in Mara Lago now.

Capitalism will let us all eat shit and die and still cut that shit with the last of the Amazonian sawdust.
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 1 week ago:
A lot of the reasons unions form in the USA are mitigated by Canadian labour laws. So you generally only see them in large work forces such as government employees, school teachers, and trades. People already get severance pay based on length of employment for getting fired without cause. If you’re laid off you can get EI (60% wages from gov’t).
So to answer your question… nothing probably -though I am speculating. Unless they did something egregious they likely broke no laws.

- Comment on Are we deprogramming empathy in the US? 3 weeks ago:
I still think you need to present examples that fit your definitions first. Assuming we’re only talking about selectivity here. Also you’ve kind of raised the bar on yourself by stipulating democracy, egalitarianism, etc.
IMO if you control for selectivity you will find that it’s statistically insignificant and that the success of those examples was due to other factors not how selective they are.
Like the closest thing I would agree exists is mormons/etc but you don’t count patriachial and religious.
- Comment on Are we deprogramming empathy in the US? 3 weeks ago:
I feel like examples that prove it using some standard definitions are a prerequisite to that conversation.
Without standard definitions such as selection method/criterium and controlling for variables such as external factors your basically asking me to refute apples with oranges.

Even exceptions require due diligence.
Should you meet a man of terrible crimes,
do not draw your sword, do not force him to draw.
Do not cut, do not let him cut.
Do not kill and do not be killed.
Teach him kindly and lead him to be a better man. Only if he will not be led, cut him down with a regretful stroke and send him to Buddha.

- Comment on ideas for deadspace behind fridge 5 weeks ago:
What’s on the other side or the wall?
The “best” use of that space would be to punch a door in the wall and make a floor to ceiling pantry IMO.
- Comment on ideas for deadspace behind fridge 5 weeks ago:
The fridge doesn’t go in front of it does it? I’d assume not cuz of the light switch.
Store bulk paper products like toilet paper, paper towel, and tissue boxes.

You don’t need an account for 4chan anyways. My point is that no social media accounts means nsfw posts on twitter, reddit, youtube are off limits.
- Comment on Australia begins enforcing world-first teen social media ban 5 weeks ago:
Which does mean they can’t access a lot of adult content. So there’s that.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 5 weeks ago:
I feel like silver is a more practical apocalypse metal than gold because of its anti bacterial properties. Even if you can’t turn it into surgical tools you can use it to help preserve drinking water.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 5 weeks ago:
The USB drive has to be the right format but otherwise I’ve had almost no issues. Works much better than the $30 android box from china.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 5 weeks ago:
I never had issues with it. But when my old pc died I opted to buy the 4k ONN device and store the files on USB.

I guess you’d take it sitting down.

So you gotta understand, I’m a history buff with a financial background that dabbles in cybersecurity. So like this is me speculating based on my own view.
Do you have any sources that cite figures that would suggest this? To be honest, I have my doubts
Can you be more specific? I want to give you a high quality response when I have time.

So you’re not concerned about general purpose humanoid robots being used to replace human workforces entirely?

Most of what you say is nonsense,
Refute it then. Cuz right now you’re just displaying the brain off behaviour I was describing.

I think everyone banking on the AI bubble bursting and that being the end of AI slop are going to be very, very, disappointed with what is about to happen.
-
AI is going to keep getting better at things. The existence of AI slop or trash vibe coding has no bearing on future capabilities of these models.
-
The AI “bubble” is less of a bubble and more of a ball and cup game exchanging real assets. So while the redundancy in stock market valuations is fluff… the data centers, energy production, and computer chips are not. Those things will still exist after any bubble bursts.
-
The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy. Their goal with AI is to entirely eliminate the need to pay human labourers. Whoever owns that AI will defacto become the most profitable & powerful entity in the fucking world.
-
AI will transform warfare and violence on levels on comparable with the invention of projectile weapons and gunpowder. When the AI bubble bursts the Military-Industrial-Complex will simply buy the dip.
I really don’t like AI… but we can’t afford to turn our brains off at “AI Slop” and not think realistically about what’s coming next.

I’m guessing to capture the consumers that just upgrade without thinking. Like they’ll 100% put this shit in next years iphone and people won’t even blink.

Beside greed, forcing people to use fully integrated AI. Cuz they damn know well that 90% of us will disable that shit like we did One Drive.

90% of the time I’m only looking for advice on a single aspect. How long to cook X at Y? Can I put X in Y? List required ingredients. etc.
Just makes sense to add gemini to the search and get the answer I’m looking for immediately.
- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 1 month ago:
Jesus wouldn’t gripe the practice of tithing so much as what the modern church does (or mainly doesn’t do) with the money. Obviously if that money was spent helping people he would be cool with it.
There’s even a bit in the bible where he say the poor woman who tithed the 1 penny she could spare was giving more than the rich people who gave much more.
