What is the Venn diagram of "People who can't stop arguing in online forums" and "People who have become addicted to obsequious, flattering LLM chats?"
Is there any overlap? Is it perfect overlap? Is it some boring in-between answer?

Solar panels and infrared heat disposal into space can both work just fine right here on the ground.
Ooh, I've seen this one. The secret is just to build them out of paperclips.
Instead of interviewing a rich, famous, busy person, wouldn't it be easier to ask an AI to pretend to be that person, and interview the AI?
Or even to ask the AI to just write both parts of the interview itself? Wouldn't that just be helping interviewers get the stories they want to share out into the world?
Star drive and Torx are so much better I can't believe they haven't taken over the whole world
Your assertion baffles me. The CC client is sending information about its execution context back to Anthropic HQ in a sneaky, obfuscated way that most people wouldn't notice.
If that's not a hidden message, if that's not steganography, what is?
Contract prices for DRAM and NAND have risen steeply through 2026 as AI server demand outran supply, pushing memory makers toward 40% to 50% operating margins on NAND in the first half of the year.
So, does that sound like a functioning market?
1080p stream in acceptable bitrate is around 1MB/s.
I think most of the privacy-violating and abuse-facilitating scenarios that we're all too plausibly imagining could be served by the transmission and storage of even a single photograph per drive.
Why would car manufacturers even consider doing that? What is the purpose?
All of the existing consumer-surveillance tech seems to be focused on 1) Finding ways to make your attention more valuable to advertisers and 2) Selling information on your movements and proclivities to interested governments.
Pictures from inside a car could fit right in with those priorities. They could tell car makers, advertisers, insurers, and governments a lot about who really drives the car the most, that person's demographics, taste in clothing, driving ability, distractability, fatigue levels, health issues, etc.
I should be clear: I'm absolutely speculating. But I don't know how anyone might look at the landscape that exists today, with surveillance in our phones, our televisions, our music players, and our cars, and think that such speculation is far-fetched or unrealistic.
Traininisation
I used to do this but I got burned once or twice, wound up with cracked eggs that hadn't leaked enough to stick or hadn't stuck, for whatever reason.
I'm sympathetic, I think media that can be borrowed, lent, sold and otherwise transferred is better. But I've given up on video games being that way years ago. I don't have a "collection" of video games any more than I'd have a collection of used chewing gum.
The other side of that coin, though, is that I never pay more than $20 for a game. Almost everything I buy is even under $10. (I think the Orange Box was the last time I paid anything like a retail price for a game. And that was three games.) The games are ephemeral, they could stop working at any moment for any of a million different reasons, and I'd have no recourse. So I'm not going to pay crazy archival prices.
The whole point of corruption is that powerful agents are no longer bound by rules in any way that matters.
Sure, "ban" those models. The way insider trading is banned. The way sex with minors is banned. The way felons in office are banned. The way taking state secrets home with you is banned.
That's not going to work, because we broke it on purpose.
