I would be concerned about Boris wrecking a perfectly good foyer. Maybe put at the end of your street, leaning on a tree, just make sure the neighbors know what he is, but not who put him there.

- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 1 week ago:
My partner gets some similar fancy eggs and loves them, but I have to hide 'em in something. They’ll definitely enhance a fried noodle dish, but if you’re just frying the egg on its own, I’ll pass.

I guess maybe some of us are more sensitive to sulfur than others. I’ve never had an egg that didn’t seem at least a little bit farty.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 3 weeks ago:
Ah no, definitely not losing your mind! I wish you luck (and infinite patience) in talking some sense into your friend.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 3 weeks ago:
“Crony capitalism” is a term invented by defenders of capitalism so that they can put all the bad parts of capitalism in a separate bucket and say “that’s not real capitalism.” It’s a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

I wouldn’t even recommend using LLMs in place of search engines, since they make stuff up. If it’s providing sources, you can check those, but you have to be rigorous enough to check every detail, which just isn’t realistic. People are lazy.
The best way I’ve heard them described is “bullshit machines”, and I don’t say that because I think they’re stupid, but because they “bullshit” as opposed to lying or telling the truth. When you’re bullshitting, the truth is irrelevant, as long as it sounds good. That’s exactly how LLMs work.
So if there’s a problem that can be solved by bullshitting, that’s where an LLM might be the right tool for the job.

Oh man, this would be hilarious if it didn’t make me feel like I was having a stroke.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced 4 months ago:
I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.

How do they think the sun works?
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 4 months ago:
I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.

I never cared for seafood. Always keep a little shaker of cesium next to my salt and pepper though.
- Comment on Why Do People Keep Crashing into CVS? 4 months ago:
There’s a Not Just Bikes video that actually explains this phenomenon. Technically he doesn’t talk about crashing into CVS, but in Canada we crash into shoppers drug mart, which is basically the same.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 months ago:
Who even has time to play full price games? I have enough unplayed games piled up in my steam/epic/gog libraries to keep me busy for decades.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 5 months ago:
Perhaps along with de-industrialization; as more labour is outsourced, less labour_ers_ are needed.

I mean it starts off with “we have killed your leaders”, to which my immediate thought is “oh sweet, good job aliens,” and then it just keeps making sense from there.

And then you have to rebuild them farther away, creating even more traffic!

I’ve literally seen a test with 4 cars driving around a circle, and they tell the drivers, “go at a consistent speed and maintain the distance in front of you” and after 5 minutes they’re all bunched up on one side of the circle. No amount of zipper merging and nice ramps will fix this.

This is the correct answer. There isn’t a city on earth that has fixed congestion by building for more cars. It’s the places that build for trains and bikes that are best for driving, ironically.
