Listen man; I agree but I’m old and I got a kid now, I don’t have time to tend a firebox for 16 hours, and I ain’t got 4 grand for one of them pellet jobs just so can cook tender meat that I can’t afford.

- Comment on Over the past week I have spent considerable time contemplating this 3 days ago:
Top loaders have had locking doors on them since 2015. In order to meet energy star standards, top loaders are no longer deep water agetators but are now load-weight-sensing fill heights for energy and water conservation efficiency. This also necessitated spin cycles > 50RPMs, which is no longer safe to coast-stop under UL certification. So now the lid needs to lock when the unit is in use, and that’s why they all have pause buttons now so the machine can safe-stop whatever it’s doing.
It’s also why people say they don’t work as good, because they probably are still setting their settings like they always have. Also I bet a lot of them actually suck ass.

I dunno where the fuck you’re from but American cops definitely aren’t fat 40-60 year old slobs. That’s one of the things that is so dangerous about them, they’re young dudes with a chip on their shoulder and shit to prove (and now let just ICE, they’re the bottom of the barrel but they’re hadly an exception)
Now if you’re from a rich community where everyone has gates and private patrols then yeah maybe it’s all fat old cops collecting a check where nothing happens because they roll out the SWAT team when people from “those other neighborhoods” get near, yeah maybe I see where the idea comes from

- Comment on Anon notices what they've taken from us 6 days ago:
This is the true reason for AI being shoved down our throats. All you can afford are cloud based walled garden dumb terminals. They can lock them down, they can monitor everything you do, and they can charge a subscription for access.
Oh and if they don’t like you for whatever reason then they can just cut you off from your data and the services you need to pay your bills, commute with friend and family, be entertained, everything.
A complete and total Barf-o-rama.
- Comment on An award-winning ESPN producer resigned after 24 years over the network's embrace of sports betting: “I’m not going to have blood on my hands.” 6 days ago:
It ain’t even just sport anymore. Election coverage on CNN includes Kalshi odds like it’s a fucking scientific study. Gambling is everywhere online too? Games, livestreams. Crypto casinos where they can get kids hooked.
Some of the initial friction between live streamers with the online left was when “gamba” became prevalent and they started calling it out.
It used to be illegal to have online poker like 25 years ago and now there are DraftKings banners in metro train stations and LeBron got $15mil annually to stump for Polymarket. What are we even doing?

You’re right, you should use it MUCH less

Your prompts are not without system prompts.
When they complain that Chinese models will do propaganda on you, what they really mean is “we didn’t get to put our propaganda into them”

- Comment on time to starr shootin some AI execs 2 weeks ago:
Remember kids: we let enough people get so rich that they’re able to convince others that they will make them rich too: all they gotta do is not sell any computer parts to any consumers anymore and the suckers will have to rent them via the cloud where everything they say and do can be limited and monitored.
It’s a trap!

It can, but it’s not an accident they made it unaffordable.

- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 weeks ago:
If you could make self driving reliable you’d have a good point. Currently that tech isn’t good enough, and may never be.
The problem is that ground travel is uncontrolled space, and there is very little room for error.
- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 4 weeks ago:
USPTO changed its rules in 2013; prior art only counts if it was patented first. This is why Nintendo has been trying to patent stuff other companies are doing that is similar to their games (eg PalWorld).
Part of me wishes Nintendo was doing this to lose on purpose so there is precedent to not use this against them in the future, but I’ve become far too pessimistic for a “good-guy Nintendo” arc…
