- Comment on Sea Level 1 week ago:
To expand on the idea, even weather effects the level of the tides rather significantly… For a clear example, look at hurricanes. They can approach double digits in feet of storm swell if they’re severe enough.
- Comment on Sea Level 1 week ago:
It’s shown like that because the water is trying to do that, to anthropomorphise it. Though of course that’s not what the water does everywhere because fluid dynamics get pretty nuts when there’s a ton of land in the way.

I dislike pride in general. Nobody should take pride in anything literally inaliable, just like nobody should be shamed for it. They should be comfortable in their own skin and not made to feel lesser for sure, though pride? Ehh… It’s a dangerous, blinding emotion.

“people first”
puts AI in

Something easily turned off is distinctly not opt in. They’re still lying to everyone.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 1 week ago:
Expect the next person in line to take the first’s place. Eventually, the greedy cunts will figure out they’re just stepping in line for the guillotine.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 1 week ago:
I don’t.
Sure, there are many people that deserve it, and sure, there will always be the ability for someone to try to be a shitstain on humanity, but to pretend that the effort is futile is literally just ignorant defeatism.
- Comment on Tencent ‘Horizon clone’ pulled from stores as Sony settles lawsuit 1 week ago:
Nah. If you actually look at the merits of the case … it is obviously a blatant ripoff. They even tried to license Horizon first…

Nowhere did I ever defend discrimination. I merely said some people do not have a form they’d likely be proud of.
- Comment on Christmas Animals 1 week ago:
Nowhere did I ever call making a community cringe.

and moving away from monoculture mass farming would remove the need for fertilizer. There are many solutions that capitalism doesn’t want.
- Comment on Christmas Animals 1 week ago:
I’d say subculture is fine. A subculture doesn’t have to be bad or annoying. Identifying with autism is also totally fine. Recognizing kinship isn’t bad.
Where it goes wrong is using it as an identity outright. “Sorry, I’m autistic” is just fucking more annoying after someone does something annoyingly autistic. Being autistic doesn’t mean you literally cannot learn good social behavior.
- Comment on Christmas Animals 1 week ago:
High functioning autism is a fine character trait to identify with. Though I seriously doubt someone who’s basically mute takes pride in their autism.
- Comment on Christmas Animals 1 week ago:
Support community? Great. Using it as an excuse or identity like many autistic people do? Cringe.
You don’t see black people going around talking jive, and then going, “oh sorry, you see I’m black” when they catch a confused look…

Yea their solution is doing less than nothing. That’s the joke, apparently.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 1 week ago:
Pluribus was such a complete disappointment for me… I don’t know … ok well yea I do know why most people like it. Though for me, I know way too much sfience and tech, so the many parts that are not realistic stand out and fly in the face of Vince’s very realistic style of presentation. That massive juxtaposition royally fucks the whole show for me.

AGI isn’t a myth, it’s just never going to happen with an LLM as its core.

It’s definitely both.

Right, but this is about the noteworthiness of talking about someone shorting AI. Who cares if joe schmoe from accounting shorted their six shares? It’d only be newsworthy if it’s someone with significant investment shorting it.
- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 2 weeks ago:
“multiple people” doesn’t mean much unless it’s one of the top twenty people that own most of the stock market.

They got their user base by being the first ones to have open access to it. Being the first to market OFC gives a massive advantage.
You are also using flawed logic. This isn’t AI vs everything. This is ONLY the “AI” products compared to themselves. These same exact numbers could happen with 1000 users across the entire world, yet you claim it’s evidence of general public acceptance.
Flawed logic is bad logic. ChatGPT also sells their services to other corporations, where several of the others are end-user only, so again, you are using flawed logic to pretend like everyone actually wants this horseshit.
- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 2 weeks ago:
ChatGPT sold themselves as the easy way to add “AI” to products. I would not be surprised what so ever if the VAST majority of ChatGPT’s usage came from other people forcing it into their products (like all the companion apps) and not actual, direct interest in AI from the general populace.
Think of it like mobile gaming. Most people do not spend much money at all on the microtransaction bullshit. Though it’s still successful in making the company money, thanks to whales and other uncommon big spenders. It would be totally unsurprising if GPT is getting their numbers in a similar fashion. Not from end users, but from selling it as a service to other companies and a very small percentage of heavy users.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Optimus Robot shuts down after reproducing the gesture of its human operator removing their headset 2 weeks ago:
I think it was just entering some default stance after the vr headset detected it got pulled off, and the table knocked it off balance as it was mindlessly entering the default pose.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Optimus Robot shuts down after reproducing the gesture of its human operator removing their headset 2 weeks ago:
Nono, this is an Elon product. The bare minimum to sell the illusion is all you get even after years of r&d and actual sales on the books.
How he’s not in jail for fraud is one of many marks against modern capitalism and its stranglehold on governments…

The problem with shorting is you have to guess when the bubble pops. Call it too early, and you don’t get the short at all. Call it too late, and any possible earnings may get wiped out by rebounds and/or new bubbles.

Read my last paragraph, then. It’s not how much MS gets in everyones’ face. It’s the specific avenues in which these companies are exposed. Google is everywhere on a platform that people don’t have to install to try things out, or have it automatically execute without permission.
MS is not. Do you not remember the MASSIVE outcry when MS said they were turning on Copilot for everyone? They tried to shove it everyones’ faces ala google, but their avenues for forcing shit are plainly different.
- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 2 weeks ago:
Because they’re easier to ignore and disable than the biggest advertiser and search platform on the planet that gets their grubby hands in everything? MS doesn’t have nearly as much of an online presence, and that’s exactly where these “AI” are getting used.
On top of that, Google gets to feed search queries into their AI and generate results for most searches. Copilot does not get to arbitrarily answer every search someone types in to Windows.

When the competition is replacing workers en masse, yes.

Ypu realize these companies can force growth via cramming it in to every channel they own, right? You realize growth on paper is not public endorsement, right?
