Probably because they don't want people stopping at a red light when they are trying to get by; think about it.

In his case the answer is the same as the answer to the question how many minutes did the sex last, to wit zero.

See ... there is that incredible sense of humor that attracts all the ladies in action! ROTFLMAO.

I have to admit, you had me going there for a bit, right up until you claimed that a woman was interested in you. It went totally off the rails when you claimed it went on for a year.

You were doing it wrong. OK, to be accurate, there are multiple systems, some of which operate in the visible spectrum, some in the infrared, etc. This myth stems from the fact that some systems operate in the visible spectrum and use a binary code, so the idea is that if you did it just right it might work on older systems, though those systems are almost certainly out of service in 2026.

The fact that you are "pretty sure" that you understand is actually the problem that you don't understand. It's called the Dunning Kruger effect. I'm certain you know what that is ... you just don't recognize that you are a walking example of it every time you discuss AI.

1) Calling a company that sells coffee "drug dealers" is absurd hyperbole
2) You can't make many of the $8 dollar items easily, the cost is much higher than you are claiming, and people pay for service, not just ingredients
3) Their target market isn't broke people looking for a job

I am not a big AI fan, but you are like the person in the 1970s who said home computers would be a fad because they don't have the power of a mainframe. Just as computing moved from 8 bit processors with a few kilobytes of RAM and no hard drive to pocket "supercomputers" (todays "smartphones" are far, far more powerful than supercomputers of the 1970s), AI is also going to experience an exponential growth in terms of power and capability. LLMs are the current state of the art, perhaps, but that is going to certainly change. The question isn't "is AI ever useful", but rather "is it useful enough today for the specific use case?". That is what this guy is exploring. My gut feeling is that it isn't, but I don't have the experience to know for sure, and neither does anyone else. The very thought of this makes me cringe, but then little boys always cringe when they think of kissing a girl too. Our instincts aren't always "correct." tldr; "only time will tell."

I was there when it happened and I know the history like the back of my hand. Your story is that forcing almost every personal computer sold in the US to have a shitty OS like DOS, then subsequently Windows on it at the time of sale, thereby eliminating competition and keeping actually skilled software developers from designing solid operating systems for them, when better alternatives already existed, is a good thing. That was a long winded way of saying you are either clueless or haven't given your post much thought.

Actually, what is true about this site is that it tends to be frequented by people who like to be informed and have a higher IQ than most. There are, of course, exceptions .

He doesn't have to win. He merely has to believe he won. He has a long history of losing, and a well established record of being stupid enough to think his losses are wins. This is a man that has convinced himself that filing the biggest loss in US history with the IRS makes him a smart businessman.

You forgot to add "then Gates went on to commit anti-trust crimes, lie to the general public claiming anyone can use a computer, and ultimately spawned the company that would set computing back decades and cause irreparable harm that continues to this day and will likely do so in perpetuity."

Are you talking about Slashdot or the article?

You just made his point for him. Bombs don't drop themselves, and sometimes "they" are good people who drop them on people who would otherwise continue to do evil.

Yes. Yes it is. It's completely different, and you are one phenomenally stupid motherfucker.
