The concept of using already existing technologies in smart ways won't make anyone rich, so it is laughable -- nobody is going to go along with something that could change things but won't line the pockets of politicians or megacorps.

It's actually easy, but we need to temper our expectations. You could have an EV revolution if we could build a city car that costs a fraction of the cost of an automobile and doesn't go very fast and doesn't go terribly far, but everything is piled against what is a practical solution.

fr, it's all well and good that Jordan Peterson was shocked to see ChatGPT producing code, but what the fuck does Jordan Peterson know about code? The tests I've run looked good but weren't actually good -- the code often fundamentally couldn't work because it wasn't real.

Not totally useless, but like most AI, it's an algorithm that can solve specific problems extremely well, but you need a human to choose which problems to solve and to check the algorithm's work.

I could end up proven wrong later -- I've heard the newer GPT model works much better than ChatGPT -- but I tried using Bing chat which allegedly uses the newer model and it didn't provide better results when I tried. I ended up having to build something for myself using my human brain to learn about a thing that didn't exist before.

I think it most Indians took a look at some of the recipes from Rich Englishman in the past, they'd want to throw up.

I like, we get it. You're rich enough to afford spices. What the hell did you put in my plate?

How many resources industry wide have been spent on the thing that was always going to fail, the metaverse?

"we handed trillions to the rich! You union idi∆h∆h∆hvoters love that, right?"

Run, don't walk away from Paypal. They think they are your god.

"why did this bank do the thing we caused them to do?"

Congress is dumber than a box of rocks.

Rev 1 of my new fan blades really didn't turn out very well; The print was big and bulky, and really had issues with weight and off-center weight. I've tried to redesign, next weekend I'll print it off and see how this works. One immediate positive is that the amount of material is way lower.

Taking "trad" pretty far, "Of course back then everyone was having affairs!"

I don't usually watch his show much anymore, but I just happened to be watching it today because it showed up on my rss feed and they have Ezra Levant on who is the owner of an alternative outlet in Canada.

Not just other central platforms though. Right now, Tim's show is being hosted off of his servers. That's a lot harder to pozz than someone else's service.

Youtube ended up apparently ending the Timcast IRL stream that was discussing today's shooting. This is the sort of reason you want your own infrastructure!

"Jimmy was about to shoot up his homeschool co op but his dad smacked up upside the head and told him to stop being a retard."

We need to let all the companies that took risks to take over the entire world fail so companies know not to take risks to take over the entire world.

Bailing them out after the fact isn't good. It only incentivizes more bad behavior.

You know, if they just returned the money to the parents and ended the school system, no more school shootings.

Just sayin'.

"No, you don't understand! I'm so miserable following my miserable ideology -- I need all of you to me miserable too! STOP HAVING FUN!"

If you ain't Russia, then you ain't black.

"now with 40% less asbestos!"

I'd heard that peroxide wasn't actually a disinfectant, but this video seems to show it absolutely is.
