  Western Europe. Places stopped having any freezing in winter. It just turned into one long autumn.

  In a democracy, no.

  In a dictatorship, yes.

  But it was already clear where things were going.

  Wear polarizing sunglasses and now only you can see the screen. Hardware based incognito mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS IS A SHITPOST⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the only way to preserve our way of life. We had to do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No thanks⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is like slashdot where people got so excited about a tree digit number.

  Can’t. Paywall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't like AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And now companies are slowly rolling this back as the productivity gains are in general small while the cost of AI keeps going up as investor’s money is running out.

  The main character has arrived! Heat up the meteor fragment. It’s time to forge his new blade!

  Then they start talking about the capsule wardrobe for minimalistic living. Every season, throw away half and replace it with the latest fashion. In the end you still buy a lot.

  My clothes fall apart before I throw them out, and those that don’t will be used for gardening.

  It always comes to a point where the only way to improve traffic is to flatten the buildings people drive to, defeating the purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bmw⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The law of the asphalt jungle dictates a strict hierarchy maintained by the current value of the vehicle. The rare and elusive hypercar at the top, Bentley and Rolls Royce after that, BMW, Audi, Mercedes claim their place after the big boys, then comes the rabble with the commoner brands like Opel, Renault, Peugeot, Volkswagen and after that the economy cars. Trailing all of them are the sort of cars that are officially quadricycles and hated by all. The right of way follows that order and no signaling is required for lesser cars. They are expected to yield and make room for their more noble brethren. It’s a stupid status game, all of it, and it endangers safety.

  Then they do the calculation on the costs to raise the children and decide it’s not economically viable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI sh*t as much as you want, but that AGI they promised is not going to be there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next time I swear bro⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Google did something similar. They made search worse on purpose so people would do more searches and see more ads, boosting revenue.

  But yeah, diminishing returns means investor money drying up means squeezing customers and hoping all that putting AI into everything translates to lots of paying customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next time I swear bro⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They had one trick: scaling. And that trick is getting diminishing returns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Argon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re still speaking, but at much higher vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The two or three juniors they’ll eventually have to hire to do the job

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably won’t stop until everybody starts asking for tips, so that those that traditionally receive tips are losing it on tipping everybody else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨glamorous dinos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dinosaurs had feathers. These guys are related to birds after all. For all we know, they had glorious peacock-like shiny feathers

  A hair of the dog that bit ya

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just dont seem to ever learn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tweaked my coffee machine (okay, a simple Senseo) so it always gives exactly the right amount so something like this won’t happen every.

  Technically ducks and velociraptors are both dinosaurs, regardless of what they eat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “A wage growth curve that looks more like a middle finger to the vast majority” is how I heard it described today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you open an new chat and ask from the perspective of the wife, chatGPT will totally agree with her. People can be shocked by that suddenly “betrayal and switching sides”, but these days this peace of technology has become a billion dollar cheerleader.
