  1. It's different when folks are presented different prices at the same time. That's pretty plainly discriminatory, and just a step away from arbitrarily pricing certain demographics higher as a social punishment. The "AI" angle is a red herring - traditional machine learning models were being used for that a decade ago, this is just a shitty extractive unsustainable business practice
  2. Grievance culture, humorless comedians, and incels. What a great time lmfao
  3. You're right, I'm sure going through a trial and the public recitation of evidence would have done absolutely nothing and not been worth a single shit.
  4. Fuck Merrick Garland that fascist enabling bag of dicks. He's like the Greg Davis of AG's, only lateral plays that go nowhere
  5. Given how scaling works, they don't need to take out all the nodes to negatively impact the network. Take out 10 or 20% of the nodes, and you'll likely realize a greater than 10 to 20% degredation of the networks throughput and usability. Plus, if Russia decides they don't care about Kessler Syndrome they could just shoot a few canisters of ball bearings into similar orbital inclinations and that'll do the same thing
  6. I mean, there's been a concerted effort by the presidents chief strategist to mobilize their grievances into action. Steve Bannon has been bragging about steering GamerGate for a literal decade now. Much of the poison that flows in the veins of the incels at discussion here originates from those campaigns and strategies
  7. IMO the problem is that there is no place for kids to just be kids, outside of maybe church. And even then, church isn't normal social interaction. Has social media made that problem worse? Absolutely. But at the root, you take away cell phones and porn, what difference do you expect to see? It's loitering to hang out somewhere. Kids walking to the park get CPS called after their parents. You can't really exist anywhere without a meter running and running up a bill. There's no jobs for them to get and build those skills either - it's just a foundational undermining of the social fabric.
  8. Show your work. How is Waymo using genAI and large language models to do sensor fusion and conduct a closed loop self driving entity? It's comparing apples and oranges - LLM's are trained on unstructured datasets and produce a multimedia output. The PID control loop that drives your car ain't that. I'm annoyed because you're equivocating LLM's with machine learning and closed control loop robotics like self driving cars. I'm annoyed because you're making the bull argument and saying you aren't. Self driving cars don't require hundreds of billions of dollars and gigawatts of power, because they're solving a much smaller problem. I get it, you want to be optimistic about the freight train of debt coming down the track. It's not gonna be pretty, no matter how much sunshine you pump about how useful it can be. Yes there's uses for genAI, but that's not what hundreds of billions of debt have been raised for and are chasing
  9. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 8/EFTA00025010.pdf This file contains an allegation that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raped a pregnant 14 year old girl on a boat in Lake Michigan in 1984. The girl allegedly gave birth while they were assaulting her, and her uncle allegedly killed the baby in front of her before throwing the body overboard. This is hosted on justice.gov and released by the Trump administration.
  10. You're hand waving and conflating generative AI with self driving cars, calling them all """""AI""""" No. Traditional machine learning isn't generative AI. GenAI isn't a closed loop PID control for a couple thousand pounds of steel and batteries, and the underlying technologies and datasets are pretty wildly different. Fucks sake, you keep claiming you're not a genAI apologist and you're making the same fallacious and overly general arguments they do
  11. They also self-immolated in the Charlie Kirk thread
  12. It literally was, but the fear was of trans people existing and that somehow translating to child abuse. But ya know, voting for a serial child abuser and rapist like Donald Trump is just not something that seemed to bother very fine people. As ever, every accusation is a confession with these fucking fucks
  13. Jesus fucking Christ that letter to Larry Nassar is gross as fuck. We've known about its existence since 2023, but we just now found out about its contents. Boy howdy, Donald Trump sure seems to vibe awfully good with pedophiles and grabbing underage "snatch"
  14. it lines right up with trump's normal tactics. Instead of addressing the matter at hand, he muddies the waters further by counfounding the issue with more errors. It's a firehose of falsehoods. It's extremely effective at getting people to just check out and be nihilistic because both sides are doing it, ya know?
  15. lol are you posting screenshot to surly while driving? That's what it looks like when you take a screenshot with carplay going
  16. This game sucks ass and is boring. Aggy could at least have the decency to lose
  17. What the fuck I was curious so I pulled up my last PC build, each 16GB stick of DDR5 was $41 back in April. The exact same SKU is on sale now for $175, with a normal price of $400 per stick. What the absolute fuck lmao
  18. he could make it part of the bull-moose platform. Deny the holocaust? You get a face off with a bull and a moose. Good luck.
  19. I was gonna say like a fork in the garbage disposal, or my dog choking on some bullshit he found on the ground. I can't imagine how anyone is able to fucking work with that walking brainworm
  20. The majority of the cost of the AI data centers is the chips, not the surrounding infrastructure. Those chips will be EOL in 3 to 5 years, which means year one being negative revenue is really putting them behind the eight ball for offsetting that capex depreciation
  21. I wonder if invading Venezuela for their oil will help or hurt oil markets
  22. Which company is the far and away most valuable in the world right now? It's Nvidia. That's all just AI chip sales, all going into those data centers. The 60% number is from articles like this one https://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-spending-on-ai-capex-q3-2025-10?op=1#microsoft-spent-a-record-34-9-billion-in-capex-in-the-first-quarter-of-its-fiscal-year-1 Where "short term assets like AI cpus and gpus" are getting 50% of gross capex spend, and most big tech CFO's are reporting in earnings calls that the "vast majority" of capex is going towards AI chips. So there's hundreds of billions of investments just this year that have to return a profit within three years, and are currently losing money every time they conduct a LLM transaction with a customer
  23. Good news! Fossil fuels no longer contribute to climate change! https://apnews.com/article/epa-climate-change-censorship-fossil-fuels-1c83071f9eea81e8e31ebad0c4444775
