Go all the way back to the echelon conspiracy. You were a crazy person to believe the government could intercept your phone calls at any time. 30 years later it’s an accepted norm.

We should do away with directories. Just one big block of files.

You actually can smoke foes with parries and reactive skills.

The ellipsis being offensive is rough. For me, it conveys giving space to the reader. It’s polite.

Oh is the stupid fucken wall ineffective? Who could have predicted this?

“This must be about hate and anger!”

Well, yes, but not like that…

How has UniFi not been suggested yet?

Why, so they can write even more shitty software?

I’ve felt like an adult since I was a child.

Lenovo was caught putting a root kit on their computers a few years ago. They are no longer an option for me.

Guess I bought my last Toyota.

I would bet on AGI arriving sooner rather than later.

The primary limiting factor right now is availability of power and space. Once small modular reactors start to really take off, we are going to see insane growth in AI development.

I totally understand the challenges with infrastructure that need solving, but that doesn’t mean AI is useless or that it’ll never be better than it is now.

Frankly, the “AI slop” crusade isn’t working. It’s time to choose a new fighter.

This is what I’m talking about. “Always will be”? AGI will come. Don’t bet against it.

People are way too pessimistic about AI. NVIDIA is going to sell GPUs by the truckload until research finds a way around CUDA.

Sure, the pace of big leaps has slowed, but I liken this phase to the early 1900s. Cars were slow and unreliable, but once the technology took foothold and the 4th Industrial Revolution really took off, look how much progress was made. We went to the moon by the 60s.

My dad was in the military, but I never heard the sorts of things from him that I do now. He has started saying the N word to try to get a rise out of me, thinks Trump is going to “fix” everything, and every time I talk to him on the phone, I can hear fascist talk radio in the background.

We have learned not to bring up politics with each other. The last time I challenged him on it, he said I was being disrespectful, but I don’t accept that. He just thought I was supposed to sit quietly and listen to crazy ranting.

I have learned that in general it’s best to change the subject if someone wants to talk politics who I know I don’t agree with. Most people have gotten the point. We still get along great! We just have polar opposite politics.

Now I know that some people would question why I remain friendly with those people. The answer is that we have more in common than not. Someday, when everyone finally comes to the conclusion that the powerful and foreign are manipulating our political discourse to sow discord, we will finally be at peace again.

And the Rami Malek movie “The Amateur”.

He recently said George Soros should face RICO charges, this is the obvious continuation of that thought.

Are we still pretending .ml and hexbear aren’t almost exclusively fronts for Russian propaganda?
