- Comment on Intel collapsing? 4 days ago:
I think the overall risk of investing in a single company is still too much right now, but I’ll be damned if I’m not regretting the timing of selling my shares. I made a big profit either way but dang.
- Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation 5 days ago:
I didn’t have many but I’m pulling all my repos from GitHub.
- Comment on U.S. Government to Take Cut of Nvidia and AMD A.I. Chip Sales to China 6 days ago:
But taxes don’t come out of the blue, there’s a tax code. This sounds like someone in the Trump admin just negotiated a quid pro quo agreement.
- Comment on Mexit, not Brexit, is the new priority for the UK 6 days ago:
Then… Isrexit maybe?
- Comment on mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people 1 week ago:
If the EU (or China) steps it up we’ll eliminate HIV in Africa before it’s eliminated in the US. Christians still need a way to punish homosexuals.

Porn has been around since cave paintings. 😐

I mean, for once, this isn’t just a chant. Epstein was the supplier but we have yet to nail his customers to the wall.
- Comment on Is there anything I can do to decrease the gap in my blinds? 1 week ago:
I have a “center curtain” for this very reason. Depends on how much it hurts your soul to basically turn one window into two smaller windows.

And they know your medical conditions, your income, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies, your vices, your insecurities, your deepest desires. Fast forward 10 years and every page and site you visit will be AI generated on the spot to lead you around by the nose and which way they feel like.
“Your local team just won the championship! Buy one of their limited edition jerseys now for only one hour of your income! Act now and we won’t send videos of you jerking it to your coworker your wife is super jealous of. If you pay for express shipping we’ll disable your home security and quietly sneak in and hang it in your closet, even while you sleep! Just kidding! We bought all of this for you anyway, because we own your drug store and we would’ve just withheld your insulin until you bought a jersey… I mean TWO jerseys.”
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 1 week ago:
Protect from what? I mean seriously. Most of us (guys at least) probably saw porn way before we were old enough and most of us probably didn’t end up as rapists or pedophiles. It’s not a good thing by any means, but it really feels like we’re trying harder to keep sexual material from entering their brains than we are trying to keep them fed, clothed, educated, housed, healthy, loved, and physically safe. Of all the things I mentioned the last seven have a monumentally greater affect on their success and well-being as an adult.

- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 2 weeks ago:
Holding them accountable would be jail time. I’m fine with even putting the salesman in jail for this. Who’s gonna sell your vehicles when they know there’s a decent chance of them taking the blame for your shitty tech?

Me realizing what I just redeemed.

Bankruptcy filing in 3… 2…
- Comment on Helion Secures Land and Begins Building on the Site of World’s First Fusion Power Plant 2 weeks ago:
If it’s like any other nuclear plant it could go on for decades with an ever-increasing budget and nobody would raise an eyebrow.
- Comment on AI-backed medical debt company claims payment plans can help US healthcare costs 3 weeks ago:
And as a result of our ass backwards system it’s not uncommon for me to see 2-3 bills for ONE visit. Of course, each bill has its own payment system too.

That counts as your break. 🤨
- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 3 weeks ago:

Just reason sayin.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 3 weeks ago:
The main clencher that got me running a blocker were the few sites whose payload was 90% ad related and as long as the page was open it kept feeding me more ads until a gigabyte of RAM and 5% of my CPU were dedicated to something I wasn’t even looking at.

Auto collision lawyers were excited I’m sure.

I’m just dumbfounded they’d ask AI to write the menu without having tasted any of the food.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X platform investigated in France for alleged data tampering and fraud 5 weeks ago:
After the recent Nazi outbursts from Grok I’d be amazed if it wasn’t banned in Germany.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 5 weeks ago:
The tool I use can rewrite code given basic commands. Other times I might say, “Write a comment above each line” or “Propose better names for these variables” and it does a decent job.
- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 5 weeks ago:
My boss insists I use it and I insist on telling him when it can’t do the simplest things.
