The kind shit a centrist would post.

Being satisfied with an "AI" relationship implies that you haven't experienced human connection or couldn't appreciate it. "AI" girlfriends are more like a prosthetic than an alternative.

I've often wondered if the priest/ monk class in the middle-ages wasn't a social program for dudes who just weren't going to be productive any other way. Just lock away the incels together and let them brew beer and breed pea plants.

I browse reddit without logging in and with an adblocker. From their perspective, I'm a parasite using resources but contributing nothing; I'm proud of that.

Microslop has designed a hardware solution to disable AI features on Windows for advanced users.

I'm terrified how many people think buying and selling stuff is moral, civic, and democratic duty. Econ 101 doesn't even work in economics, why are we applying it to everything?

I had an opportunity to socialize with some young people recently and the one thing that struck me the most was how far ahead the girls were in social skill and maturity.

I don't think this has anything to do with sex difference or nature. I think that girls are simply expected to pay attention to other people and boys aren't.

I don't exempt myself, I was a solipsistic goblin at that age.

This isn't a weapon, and probably won't work as intended either.

"Space lasers" don't work over long distances because the light spreads out. (inverse square law) A pinpoint laser is almost 2m wide when pointed at a low flying aircraft.

Increasing intensity doesn't work because you'll need a) a Dyson sphere level of energy input. or b) a mirror big enough to occupy a significant fraction of our orbit.

This is just "data center in space" fiction

unfortunately, Windows is integrating AI into core apps by using AI to code. Microslop has promised that the next version of Windows will be agenic first, which means Windows will be a feature of Copilot, not the other way round.

At that point the only script that'll strip the AI out will be: shutdown /s /f /t 000

Did they fix the bug where Ublock Origin doesn't work?

No bubble burst has ever been a surprise, only the timing is a mystery. It's obvious to the casual observer that the US stock market is a sandcastle. And not just AI exposure, but wildly overvalued tech stocks. Everyone knows that a correction is coming, and it's going to be brutal.
