Interesting how a vast majority of the right wingers I know, including my dad, don’t research anything at all, and only rely on algorithms to give them right wing rage bait.

My dad for example said to me that “all these foreign exchange students are getting $50k grants for entering the country on MY taxes” after hearing it on TikTok, then I did the most minor research and found that it’s only for one of the states (I think either QLD or WA, can’t remember which though). I rebutted his claim by stating that it’s state legislation and has no basis in taking other state taxes nor much federal tax, and he gave me a long winded explanation basically just to say that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Apparently getting force fed slop on TikTok and instagram reels makes you a prolific researcher, while actually researching makes you a bum or something.

Unrelated to algorithms but I opened Roblox yesterday after not playing for a long while and I found that they’ll give you a ‘free item’ if you do an age check

Disgusting, coercive bullshit just so kids can give their biometric data to American companies. Funny how the eSafety Commission managed to completely forget about the privacy rights of children, let alone those of adults, just so they can rush through their age verification legislation like the world depended on it.

When I was in year 12 of high school last year, some students attempted to use ChatGPT to write their practice exams for them. Mind you, these practice exams are the same as proper state mandated exams, where there are to be zero electronics used whatsoever unless it’s a disability aid, but the practice ones are also just that, to practice your skills, not to write it off as some worthless obligation.

There were actually heaps more of these students who entirely used LLMs for their assignments, would be made to rewrite them because it’s AI written, then proceed to have ChatGPT write it again and pass it through a ‘humaniser’ which just made it unreadable. It’s alarming that these people are willing to stop using their mind at all just because some service from half way across the world wrote an essay better than they could before.

Crapless

I swear, AMD and Microsoft are two brain cells competing for third place

Wowza, nobody had foreseen this happening! Well, apart from everyone in the tech sector, and all who were laid off in almost every sector, and everyone else… ahh forget it!

I’ve been told the same thing, they said god gave me my strength, but realistically if this “god” did give me anything, it would be my weaknesses and hostile social environment, where I was forced to find my own strengths that a god couldn’t give unless they wanted me to face some sort of mythological nepotism.

So running a community forum on a decade old laptop, or someone using a hand-me-down phone to watch videos are equal to openAI’s stargate hyperscaler?

We don’t classify a laptop a data centre just because it was repurposed as a web server, and furthermore, devices are so powerful today that you could probably do the same on a smart watch.

Either you don’t know what a data centre is, or are intentionally skewing the definition of “data centre” to fit your snarky reply.

To make it more efficient, we should have as many people as possible doing the hole punching

For what reason?

Wait, didn’t he talk about the antichrist at a conference, and basically describe himself? Pretty fitting honestly

So I guess the plan is to make a somehow buoyant hyperscaler powered on tidal energy tech which is pretty much still in its infancy, and radiate all the heat in an already too hot ocean?

Lovely idea, Theil, I hope it leaks.

I mean, OneDrive did the same, except their tactic was just to delete your files instead of store them, instead of increasing it…

Sure, these glasses are a corporate surveillance state nightmare, but keep in mind, assault shouldn’t be something you consider, unless it’s justifiable.

Most places have law stating the public can be recorded freely by anyone, which is basically why these exist, so the justification needs to actually hold weight, such as being stalked or other reasons.

There’s also the fact that these glasses could be used by disabled individuals who are using them as aids, and quite frankly, assaulting a disabled person, even if you don’t know they’re disabled is a significant aggravating factor in court. You really don’t want that for yourself.

This is some Chernobyl Geiger counter type shit

Pricing for surfaces was already illogically high, why not add more fuel to the fire?

I’ll take that as a sign you’ve never written a single line of code in your life, since if you actually did so, you’d soon realise it’s like having a fast typing, cocaine fuelled intern as a sidekick, who only saw a couple stack overflow code snippets in your language of choice and ran with it.

On top of that, so many people forget it’s April 1st, and actually believe it

Yeah, we’ll have to wait until 2032 for that AI toggle lmao

Windows is like that one artistic shit painting on a public stall door, you first think it looks alright, then realise it’s shit. Microsoft never changed from painting with shit to painting with acrylic, they just decided to change a small few visual features of that painting thinking we’d like it.
