  The only ethical thing you can do with $1 billion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This has been correct for all of human history. I’m not sure why anyone would have assumed the invention of the cubicle would have changed this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're so predictable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because million would be incorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean having an AI watch everything you do isn’t a good selling point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're so predictable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I did a cursory glance at the groups to see that it was 428 rnillion, so I think that’s enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You fool⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And when you’re incorrect.

  Fuck man, I’ve been looking for a place to get a good opstume.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything has a bit of overlap⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To a physicist, sure. To the lay public, observe means you’re watching it. If you’re looking away, you’re not observing. When in reality, it doesn’t matter who’s looking, if the particle is interacting with other particles, it’s being “observed”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨plump pumkins⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass. Whatever. :P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything has a bit of overlap⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to nominate Observer Effect for the Worst and Most Confusingly Named Thing Ever award.

  Funny meme though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨plump pumkins⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I doubt they can get larger than earth, so I’d say it’s somewhere between 3,000 lbs and earth’s weight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers show that training on “junk data” can lead to LLM “brain rot”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is compressed air the best way to clean my pc that I consider dusting once every 2 years?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. It won’t damage it with static electricity or physical contact. Unless you’re using some really powerful air pressure.

  The Epstein Ballroom?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blood Moon Bones⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ridiculous unachievable AI generated beauty standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that it isn’t wildly ridiculous and stupid to have an internet connected bed, but couldn’t you just unplug it if it’s overheating?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's that time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Omg. xD

  Octopus, an animal famous for having no bones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's that time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With ribs all the way down. xD

  Even if it were accurate, it still wouldn’t be accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's that time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that a fucking

  SCORPION SKELETON???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protect yourselves!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  hurts so good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You mean there's a better way‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But then how would you store it in the fridge without the cardboard shards to wrap it in?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Then and Now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It took him thirty years to eat the back part of the TV?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The shape of the roots of the shrubs is somewhat exaggerated. Many do go that deep, but they’re not that wide all the way down. There are only a few types that grow roots that look like that.

  There are also deep root grasses if you want a lawn, but don’t want to ruin your soil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone fact check this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you don’t know if the equation they used was for if the owl is swimming through the deep ocean. That would take a lot of calories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone fact check this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t fact check something that doesn’t provide any of its work. Where did they get those numbers from? What equations did they use, and do they actually apply to this situation?

  Since it’s non-falsifiable, you can just disregard it. Claims require evidence, not assertions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This mostly only happens to companies with outside investors, and it’s in order to make the investors happy.

  Companies owned privately by one or a handful of people who all just want the company to keep going, make a decent profit, and be sustainable, don’t always exhibit the “need for growth” behavior.

  It’s usually because the investors don’t really give a shit about the company or its mission, they just want money.

  Whats wrong, sweetie. You’ve barely touched your refried fetuses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Real answer: because the CEO is the figurehead of the company. An AI can do exactly what a CEO can do except actually interacting with people. So the only necessary and “irreplaceable” job of the CEO is to meet with people and get them to make a deal or invest or whatever.

  That being said, I don’t think there’s any job an LLM can replace a human for. Human’s aren’t hired as next word predictors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Need To Rewild The Internet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. That’s a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Need To Rewild The Internet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, let’s start by getting rid of Gmail and Outlook (Live, Exchange, whatever they’re calling it now).
