hey i’m running on solar and battery so no waste of electricity here ;)
but yeah that was it, i just noticed how here and on mastodon i read ‘ai is a scam’ and then turn my head and read ‘ai will take all our jobs’, makes for a nice whiplash effect
also it’s 4am here i’m going to sleep, appreciate the chat

Snake oil yesterday, magic beans today.

we’re not in the slower than walking era, we’re in the ford model t era, i’m reading someone call the ford model t magic beans (eg. a scam) while millions of people are driving one every day and simultaneously worried it’s going to ruin transportation all over the north america
“It took years of hard work for us to steal beans from farmers, apply our unique brand of magic, and seek investment from our nation’s finest rubes and oafs,” a Beanco spokesman said. “Now DeepBean wants to steal our magic beans, rebrand the magic, and get money from their own buffoons and clods? It’s just not right.”
again, these are contradictory statements, it cannot be both a scam that has no value eg. magic beans and going to take all our jobs

But cars have always had value, we’re talking under an article that calls AI “magic beans”
How could magic beans which produce garbage enslave humanity under capitalism? Would you argue that cars which replaced horses as the primary mode of transport in a few years be called this?
You can argue that AI does some things badly, it’s still very very early on and the progress people are making is insane, like nothing I’ve seen before, but you can’t argue it is worthless and a giant threat to us at the same time, this is contradictory
- Comment on China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen 2 days ago:
companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees
But then if they produce garbage with AI people will buy the non-garbage product
Either it produces something of value or it doesn’t, if it’s producing garbage, lowering output, etc then it’s not a threat to our jobs because most people don’t like garbage, if it’s producing genuine value then it will be.

i have noticed that there are two competing narratives in the leftwingosphere:
A) ai is 100% slop garbage and a giant waste of electricity, pumping out garbage images with multiple hands and the text is nothing but hallucinations that can’t even count the number of r’s in “strawberry”
and at the same time
B) AI is going to take all our jobs and we will all be homeless and poor while tech billionaire CEOs turn us into slaves

perplexity.ai is a better search engine than any current ones and that’s about as mainstream a use as you can get

Sorry I thought you meant local context like:
chat.mistral.ai/…/44fa329b-99db-4cb6-969c-4134ee3…
So when you ask it to translate something in context with local slang it will use it rather than the actual definition of it

That’s immediately the app I thought OP was using
- Comment on Anon tries to learn Japanese 1 week ago:
some sanitized AI that doesn’t understand context or slang
That doesn’t make sense to me, AI does understand context and slang, that’s what makes it great for language learning, previously with basic language translation like google translate/dictionaries etc wouldn’t understand localised context and slang

Yep I rate Melbournes trams quite hard, they helped us out when we were down there for the formula1 twice, we walked 99% of the time except at the end when we were literally too tired to walk anymore!
Melbourne doesn’t have a train to the Airport either (currently) and all attempts are receiving severe political roadblocks.
Ridiculous!
- Comment on Motorists able to lock in low petrol prices for 24 hours under Victoria’s new ‘fair fuel’ plan 1 week ago:
I don’t see any mass migration to PT without the infra changes along with it, Brisbane doesn’t even have a cheap train to the airport and when I have to catch a train to the city for work my trip time doubles compared to my motorbike and I still have to use my car to get to the station… and that’s assuming I’m not 1 minute late and miss the train so then you have to add another 30 minute wait in :( … but at least we are getting some improvements with cross river rail.
At the moment the best bet that I can see to reduce co2 emissions is to encourage EV adoption because at least it is something familiar to people and until the infra changes required to make the place a ‘15 minute city’ come along it’s the best chance we have to reduce co2.

due to the extra weight of the battery.
We’re working on it:
SAIC-owned IM Motors currently offers its L6 saloon with a semi-solid-state battery – a halfway house to a full-solid-state battery that uses a more viscous, gel-like electrolyte than the liquid in a lithium ion cell.
This pack allows an extra 33kWh of battery capacity to be crammed into the same space as an equivalent lithium ion pack. That equates to a 28% improvement in the car’s range to a total of 621 miles (1000KM), according to Chinese homologation testing.
autocar.co.uk/…/solid-state-battery-round-2025-be…
At 1000KM of range we are already within the space of 10 years of EV’s hitting the mainstream reaching beyond what petrol cars can do.
Also before you reply in addition to the weight reduction they’re also working on reducing the amount of critical minerals in batteries and reducing the chance of fire and increasing the range and improving the charge times,

Yep those OG passively/air cooled batteries really have done a dent in the reputation for battery lifespan, hopefully over the next 10 years as more people understand that we’ve been on actively/water cooled batteries for like 10 years now that the lifespan degradation is much slower
www.carsales.com.au/cars/…/SSE-AD-18401866/
7 year old EV with just 24KM range loss
EV’s have come a long way in a very short time, just like how big of an impact Solar is having some people haven’t kept up
- Comment on Motorists able to lock in low petrol prices for 24 hours under Victoria’s new ‘fair fuel’ plan 1 week ago:
I get what you’re saying, but by the same logic, anything that encourages adoption of EVs (or continued use of petrol/diesel vehicles) is bad because it ultimately encourages less people to just use PT
I’m not necessarily encouraging adoption of EV’s I’m discouraging petrol cars via cheaper petrol prices although I do argue for far cheaper electricity rates which will increase EV adoption but it is what it is
I’m also not 100% sure encouraging people to use PT has any effect, people use cars because they allow you to go to anywhere you want at any time of the day or night or public holidays or unions in sydney striking etc right from your front door, PT cannot compete with this especially in Australia where everything is so far apart
- Comment on Motorists able to lock in low petrol prices for 24 hours under Victoria’s new ‘fair fuel’ plan 1 week ago:
It reduces co2 output and for me that’s the most important thing at the moment especially here in Australia where everything is built around cars
- Comment on Motorists able to lock in low petrol prices for 24 hours under Victoria’s new ‘fair fuel’ plan 1 week ago:
For me anything that helps out petrol car drivers is bad as it inadvertently encourages less people to move to EV’s
but good for people who still drive petrol drinkers

tbf i probably wouldn’t like tradie storytime or ceo storytime either, just seems…suspicious…but at the same time parents are more than welcome to just not go, not sure where the issue is
the teenagers attacking gays is just maddening, i wonder where they are getting it from
