- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 3 days ago:
This is what I’ve been calling it. Not as a pejorative term, just descriptive. It has no concept of truth or not-truth, it just tells good-sounding stories. It’s just bullshitting.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 5 days ago:
Nah. The current crop of US pickups is, I’ll agree; but there’s plenty of older pickups that are much more reasonably scaled. Not to mention non-American models.

Get it home and you’ve got the start of a pretty good generator!
- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 2 weeks ago:
Sure, and such regulations should be reformed. We should not just start turning stuff off and seeing who breaks!

Everyone is busily selecting a fork, and I’m trying to figure out if the apostrophe was an intentional troll …

Why do they even want to encourage cow milk consumption?

That is a fascinating take on the general reaction to LLMs. Thanks for posting this!

It sounds like you can connect with your phone, which reduces the energy footprint quite a bit.

It’s well within tolerance. Functionally 1 billion :p

- Comment on AI Energy Demand Can Keep Fossil Fuels Alive, Tech Backers Promise World’s Two Biggest Oil Producers 3 weeks ago:
The rest of the world has been trying to move away from fossil fuels for decades. Why these guys didn’t figure out they should diversify beyond oil I do not understand.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 5 weeks ago:
I’ve also found it helps to, if you have just a few questions that aren’t really related, break them into separate messages. And space them out a bit, if you’ve got time.

When we’re driving, my wife often acts as navigatrix
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 1 month ago:
Not to mention how many posts are made to get you to react viscerally, instead of engage with the community - things like AITA seem especially prone to this.

Honestly, does Canada have any incentive to respect DMCA requests at this point?
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 2 months ago:
They do have something special that the rest of us don’t have. They have money.
That’s what I mean when I say they have room to try again. They don’t go broke when their business fails, so they can try more than once. Most of us don’t have the time or resources to have another go without some serious recovery time.
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 2 months ago:
Goddamn, victim blame much? Most of them are trying to survive!
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 2 months ago:
Great! Most new businesses fail, which makes sense given the people starting them are new at this. Billionaires often have had several failed attempts. The difference is, they have room to fail and try again.
How do we give others that chance, if not by keeping billionaires from hoovering up all the resources?
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 2 months ago:
What billionaire didn’t start out with a healthy infusion of cash? Sure, some turned millions into billions, but I don’t know of any that didn’t start with a line on several millions of investment available.

Quietly swapping your earlier edition with the current edition was not, however.
