15 years ago I was offered money to write an app for shilling on reddit. I didn’t accept the job.
This is not new.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 1 day ago:
This is how I feel, especially with companies adding “AI Use” to their performance reviews. If employees found it helpful, they’d use it. Or did you hire complete morons?
I’ve built several AI tools for my work which do increase productivity. They lean in to what AI is actually good at and improve the speed of getting information, like using AI embeddings to build a quick semantic search, and building MCP tools for agents to look up information in our systems quickly. I’ve built some AI based tools to automate very expensive tasks that require a ton of manual data curation and review, and it works at the same level as our staff doing it, and it runs in 20 minutes, that’s a win.
People actually do use these tools because they save a significant amount of time with very little cost, and everyone gets to do the things they’re actually good at.
Now I’m being asked to spearhead building out customer facing AI efforts. I knew this day would come, but yeah the board and investors want it. They really want to be able to tell investors and clients that we’re an AI forward company.
I’ve been planning for this and researching/studying, and all the internal tools I’ve built have been test runs. I’m not going to force AI on users, but I am going to build tools and systems for the ones who do use AI.

I’ve been a paying affinity customer for years, and I’m not signing up for Canva.
I get it’s “free”, but I’m sketched out.

I’m 3/3 on ps5 controllers breaking.
I bought the pro controller when it came out and it hasn’t broken.
- Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you? 3 days ago:
I set up garage, which works fine.
Advantage of an s3 style layer is it’s simplicity and integration with apps.
I also use it so I can run AI agents that have zero access to a task fine system

Aren’t a lot of those price increases US centric due to asinine tariffs.

Ps5 sets my record for most dead joysticks, followed by the Nintendo Switch joycon disaster.
PS4 I had a few controllers die, but that was parts physically breaking.
PS3 I never lost a controller.
I have to go back to N64 for any other broken controllers where the sticks die or buttons break.

I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God
But building oracles and such is gross. The who AI pope question was insane.
But I will have to read that article deeper, that’s an interesting wikipedia link

Looks like some of the trucks in my suburban neighbourhood that have never carried anything bigger than a Costco bag of dog food and an ikea chair, nor have they ever been more off road than parking on the grass at the park.

Is that Snake driving that truck? I see the eye patch.

I think they could use a good 40 years wandering the desert right now.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 4 days ago:
There’s a lot of good Christian teachings that just make the world better regardless of your fear of eternal punishment or any god.
While outside my education I’m sure most religions too, but too many people get caught up in casting out others, or hating the non believers, or doling out punishments they have no right to.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 4 days ago:
Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.
How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.
I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.
Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.
This gives those vibes.
It feels plain wrong.

This Is more about perspective though.
Besides, if you keep it trimmed then you can’t sprinkle little “cobra” pubes around the bathrooms you visit.

Kinda neat that nothing I use has actually been affected.
The only thing that’s affected is my service for cryptocurrency, which I only use for short term volatility plays anyways.
