I mean, there’s just no way it’s entirely AI, at least. That Coca-Cola logo on the machine, the soda labels on the Coke machine… the odds that AI would get all that right are so low. I’m not speaking to any other aspect, because I didn’t spend a lot of time studying the whole image.
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 3 days ago:
Re: inflation, growth in pure gross/intake has to increase to match the currency devaluation, and that can mostly be done by adjusting your prices in line with inflation. Employee count, market shares etc. can all hold steady, all else being equal.

Niece playes Smash. Calls DK “Donkey Donk”. I corrected her for awhile, then I decided her way was really better.

Survivor of crime becomes crime-fighter, survivor of catastrophe saves people from disasters.
“Be the person you needed when you were younger” feels applicable.
- Comment on EA Close To Sale That Would Take The Company Private 1 week ago:
I love the one response I saw, “wouldn’t that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?” Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don’t paint Stephen Miller in the lights he’d rather be seen publicly.

- Comment on BBC News - Jimmy Kimmel's show to return to air after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments, says Disney - BBC News 2 weeks ago:
The lesson on the attention economy that we are getting from Trump is that each “distraction” doesn’t necessarily have to be meaningless, but rather that each lessens the impact of all the others. Perhaps “distraction” wasn’t quite the right word in my previous comment, but instead I guess I mean, “Does anyone else think Disney created and ‘solved’ this problem with Kimmel as a means of making it so that when the price drop is getting more discussed over the next couple months, attention paid to that will be somewhat clouded by this event?”
I’m aware there are also flaws to the strategy. If any company manufacturers one error to make another potentially less problematic, they still have to suffer the fallout from the first one. The net result can easily be worse than if just the second happened in isolation. The president gets to live in a world where he is extremely difficult to fire/cancel/get rid of for the next 3+ years, and so many of the fires he sets are meant to achieve some end of their own, however petty they may be.

Anyone else thinking Disney did this whole dance to distract from their Disney+ subscription price increase next month?
- Comment on Greta Thunberg Steps Down from Gaza Flotilla Steering Group 2 weeks ago:
It really feels like you’re just kind of yelling at people for things you imagined they meant, in response to things you said that were confusingly written. I don’t see how assuming their whole identity is Misogynist Nazi over any of this is warranted, especially since they seem to be disagreeing that they hold any of the positions you ascribe to them.

- Comment on OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws 2 weeks ago:
One interesting consequence of the rise of AI is that fools place them in higher and higher positions of information parsing and decision-making, it will be the AI marketers will have to bullshit, and depending on how decent that AI ends up being, this could be quite difficult.

- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 2 weeks ago:
I’d say the biggest difference is that Millennials tend to be more aware that Boomers of who else is actually using the platform and why, and to have/acquire knowledge about other platforms and transition to something new.

Im not a Bible scholar. I have always taken the distinction between abolish and fulfill here to be, I’m not here to say the old law was wrong and so let’s get rid of it, I’m here to say we have completed the period of time for which the old law was right, and we have a new way going forward for this new time.

The Federation doesn’t attempt communication or diplomacy.
I understand where you’re coming from broadly with your thesis, and I agree with you more than I want to. The above line struck me, though, because The Left writ large at least has been trying to communicate and attempting diplomacy with our Bugs for decades, and especially lately it’s become essentially useless.

I saw the reply in my inbox and had a reaction to “females” there, like “ugh, not one of THESE folks who still talk like that.” Because I didn’t remember the nature of this thread until I got back into the comments :)
