- Comment on Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation 6 days ago:
I don’t know about OpenAI, but Gemini is pretty bad and so is Google AI.
If you use a pretty good AI, they can be helpful. Even though I don’t take AI advice at face value, I use it for stock projections mainly and search for earnings report schedule of specific companies. I also use AI to hunt leads for the next potential stocks to invest. Again, I don’t take its responses as fool proof, I research before diving in head first.
AI is mainly a tool to help, not be a substitute to do your own work, at least not in its current incarnation.
- Comment on Ok, boomer 1 week ago:
When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to “while you are still going forward, I’m turning back”, which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn’t say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her “you’ve turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed”.

It took me awhile to understand the punchline (god is saying the speed of light is 1 dumbass, not calling the person a dumbass as I first thought). Does that mean the speed of light is slow?

Someone used the monkey’s paw to wish politics not to be boring.

Right…who used the monkey’s paw to wish that politics should not be boring anymore?
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 week ago:
Truth of the matter is that predicting and determining when the stock market crashes or if a recession already happened is hard. Saying definitively “there were warning signs and I should have sold my shares” is hindsight bias. When COVID happened, everyone thought that a recession will occur and pulled out their investments. The COVID-induced recession didn’t happen and we have come with a better economy than before thanks to good handling of the economy by governments across the world. Those who sold their investments have to re-buy their shares but it is now at higher price than when they previously bought, and they missed out on potential higher profit had they stayed.
Of course, the world is not black and white and not all circumstances are the same. It is always a case by case basis and there are variables always at play. We came out well after COVID because we know that we definitely had a good leadership back then. But with economy under Trump, there is a higher chance of recession happening for obvious reasons, not just with AI bubble burst. In that case, it is still bad idea to sell all your shares because you would have to re-buy them at now premium price, but you could diversify your investments to safer countries or sectors in preparation for the high likelihood of a market crash. I have divested from US stocks and bought more European and Japanese ones, and invested in energy sector because it is more resilient even during economic troubles. I might have to rethink about my US healthcare stocks, however.

I am more shocked that there are people who are interested in “smart” furnitures and appliance.
- Comment on Upload Me Into The AI God Hivemind 1 week ago:
Connected to fascism but also to extreme left as well. The idea is to accelerate social decline so that either side could finally get the chance to implement their vision of the world.
- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 2 weeks ago:
Serious question, would countries with their own predominant religion also have religious books in their local hotels? Like, do Indian hotels have baghavad gitas on the bedside?
- Comment on English moment 2 weeks ago:
This what fascinates me learning about languages. They have their own characters and quirks. Languages are the embodiment of the people’s culture and history. That said, the English language shows how messed up it is.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 2 weeks ago:
There are anecdotes of people changing for the worse. I remember a poster who said his parents became Trump supporting bigots, even though growing up they taught OP not to be racist.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 2 weeks ago:
Social media, that’s why. The brain being cooked in dopamine all the time by algorithm and fake news fries the brain. People forgot how to be nice.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 2 weeks ago:
So boomers are rich.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 2 weeks ago:
I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don’t want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.
- Comment on Nobody ever remembers Gen X 2 weeks ago:
The true forgotten generation. But Gen X are eating popcorn while the rest are having generation war.
- Comment on Get a load of this guy! 3 weeks ago:
1940s don’t mean boner the same way we mean boner. It’s like the word gay. I had a boss who grew up in the 1950s and mentioned they say “gay” to mean happy and it’s an everyday word, like they would say “we’re gonna have a gay time.”

I deleted my original Hotmail after it got hacked. However, I am keeping my Gmail despite Google’s monopoly practices. My Gmail username is from a time when they allow addresses like g_star99@gmail.com or skankymistress@gmail.com.

PS. The name of the person on the link is actually Ronald Read, and yes, he worked as a janitor until the day he died.
- Comment on Labour Party members just defected to Your Party en masse 4 weeks ago:
I want to take this opportunity to say that Starmer’s face looks like he is put on the spotlight, confused and doesn’t know what to do, his eyes jolting, jerking and looking around listless with his head, until he confides to you and asks sheepishly: “what do you suppose have me do?”
Yeah, that explains a lot; aside from being in the pocket of the rich and copying the American Democrat mindset of “wE hAvE tO cApTuRe tHe MoDeRaTeS” (which is a code for don’t anatagonise their rich donors and NIMBYs). The moderate unicorns that neoliberals are trying chase have galloped away long ago. They were called the middle class of the 1990s and 2000s, and now the term middle class itself is questionable at best since the financial crisis. People want more public investment, not austerity.
- Comment on Cause and Effect 4 weeks ago:
That is why I am appalled at Neil deGrasse Tyson’s belief that philosophy is obsolete and exalt science as the ultimate foundation of truth and society. Where and how does he think science first came about? It was called natural philosophy before. And the scientific method has its roots from Socratic questioning. But I know that NDT is too egocentric to change his mind if called out on it.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 4 weeks ago:
Gamepass only ever made sense to people who had time to play or dabble in a sufficiently large amount of games per year
Exactly. I only played two games before unsubscribing. You have to have so many free time to make the gamepass worth your while and money.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 5 weeks ago:
I just realized that the GenAI craze is like the modern version of Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars project, but somehow both countries got fooled into pouring money into a colossal folly.
That’s a good point. I was listening to a YouTube podcast on the topic and the hosts did say international competition is the primary reason for developing AI. US rationale is that even if they want to regulate AI, the “bad guy” won’t so it’s better to develop it first before the bad guys. They made the same comparison with the Manhattan Project and the race to beat the Axis from developing nukes.
