- Comment on Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware 6 hours ago:
Yeah, so this is the part where the market regulates itself? Y’know, the part where ultra billionaires just dump money by the boatloads to buy up stuff that everyone needs?
Capitalism will ONLY work if we put hard caps on how much wealth a single person can hoard. Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Millionaires shouldn’t exist. There is no need for them and there is no human right somewhere that says that you really van become one.
Any wealth over 1 million should be taxed 100%, doesn’t matter the country.
With that, we can say goodbye to hundreds of problems that plague the world, including this one

I’m sorry, so for the past 4 years we only had “ugly” women in ads?
Does this idiot understand how marketing even works?
Yeah, we had more plus sized models, because for one, they are a target market for advertisement because, and I know this sounds crazy, plus sized women also need clothes and gasp humans like to see “people like them” in ads and people like “pretty people like them” even better.
None of this is new and this is just more Maga brain rot
Man, i do wonder how general intelligence.in the US compares to Canada or Mexico, or Europe. It can’t be good.

Ooohhh a venture capitalist social media platform! I wonder how and in how many overly creative and putrid ways that site will try and fuck me over, inside and out.
Yeah, hells no

Do people like that hear themselves when they speak? Do they see the words they write?
Are they living in the same planet? I mean, how can you have such warped views of the world?
Fuck the 1%, ban millionaires
We need hard caps on personal ney Worth. Any income over a networth of 1 million should go 100% to taxes until you’re worth less again. There is no right to having and hoarding more than that. You don’t need more than that.
- Comment on A Project to Poison LLM Crawlers 4 days ago:
Nah, AI will already do that automatically because any and all system loses something in inefficiencies. Same like if you put a theoretical 100 miles of gas worth in your tank that turns into 20 in practice because the combustion engine has an efficiency of 30ish%, you have air and tire resistance, etc etc.
AI has the same for information, and what comes out is always a certain fraction of the 100% that went in
Since poisoning the pool makes AI unreliable up to the point where it becomes useless, it has the potential to stop the AI madness. I’d be all for that.

Reading all the comments here and then having to deal again with religious assholes who keep claiming that God gis good, god is kind, my imaginary god is everything that I am not
Fuck your imaginary stone age religion. Religion is a mental illness

Nah, fuck wings.
What trans people need is to have the same rights and be treated 100% exactly the same as everyone else worldwide.
Those wings they can buy themselves

- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 1 week ago:
And store all their critical data with US providers

And got confused fast
- Comment on We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languages 1 week ago:
Aaaaand that would be me
Countless hours of German and French and at best a few words remain
Time well spent?
- Comment on Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia 1 week ago:
Though obviously funny, I can’t escape the feeling that were basically doing the equivalent of “oooohhh huurrr duurrr wikipedia says that Himmler is a ghoul in 1939, so funny!”
They murder innocent civilians, we fight back with mildly funny memes?
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
Apparently word online will just st random drop pieces of text during saving.
Why?
Microsoft. That’s why
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 week ago:
Eh, no?
It’s really REALLY hard to know what content is, and to identify actual child porn even remotely accidentally, even with AI
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 week ago:
Not AI as the common people think it is, I guess I should have cleared that up.
AI as we currently have it is little more than a specialized database
- Comment on Get on that grindset 1 week ago:
I might be wrong here, but iirc the virus doesn’t automatically pass on to the embryo and HIV doesn’t always “take” either. Even a blood transfusion has a limited chance of infection, like 30% or so IIRC
- Comment on Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge 1 week ago:
It’s technically possible because AI doesn’t exist. The LLM’s we have do exist and these have no idea what it’s doing.
It’s a database that can parse human language and put pixels together from requests. It has no such concept as child pornography, it’s just putting symbols together in a way it learned before that happen to form a child pornography picture
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 week ago:
Nukes won’t burn the world to a cinder, but they will end the world’s infrastructure.
Say good bye for probably a longer period to clean water, electricity, healthcare, etc. There is a point to say that the dead will be lucky.
Having said that, there will likely be pockets of livable arras where humanity will survive, but life for the survivors likely will be shitty for a number of decades until things stabilize again
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
Good?
It’s godawful, to the point of being barely functional
My company runs on office and I write everything in Google drive, then export it to a word document and import it into office because working on office web is just a joke.
Seriously.
Sometimes it just randomly and quietly deletes some text I just typed
Sometimes it just changes layouts on other pages where I’m not even working
Sometimes it says it saved the work and it saved didly squat
I see Microsoft office as something that only “enterprise” level customers would be stupid enough to use and to pay actual money for.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 1 week ago:
prior to Iraq, no police officer ever fired their gun
Somewhat paraphrased, but still, wut?
US police officers always have been corrupt as shit, and violent. None of that is a new thing

Guns are fun toys, never a solution
