Comment Re:"Children", they say (Score 2) 28

It's not just children. It's every age demographic. Maybe children might be more susceptible, but every single age group is a target.

Children, is merely the easiest legal avenue to gain traction on this. No one gives a shit about adult digital junkies.

And we know what social medias end goal is with this. Anything that is truly bad but profitable? Attempt to dismiss the harm by normalizing the shit out of it. When everyone is an addict, no one is. Because there is no more addiction. There is just normal.

Expect the “speculative market” to pull the same shit to avoid being called what it is; gambling that should be illegal and WAS for every valid reason.

So you believe that Mythos hasn't been finding vulnerabilities that have existed in code for years, and in some cases decades? Or is it that you just don't think that bad actors who have access to this information before the code has been patched and the fixes have propagated throughout the systems represents a danger? Conspiracies exist, but everything isn't a conspiracy. If you had actually done any research at all you would know how ridiculous you are to claim that AI models are not dangerous, and becoming more so exponentially, is absurd.

What the fuck is a "net zero" HVAC? Every vapour-compression air conditioner is just an air-to-air heat pump in cooling mode and always has been. What do you imagine is being done to make an HVAC "net zero"?

Well given that it's an electrical device you could run it from solar panels... or is your HVAC system diesel powered?

When it’s still 85F at 4AM in August and you’re cycling a 3-ton unit on and off basically 24 hours a day to try to get a Florida home down to comfortable, your unit might as well be diesel powered. Feel free to do the math on the electrical draw. Then Florida will remind you how many solar panels scammers are out there. Like the rest of the country.

Sure. You could have solar A/C. It might just take you 20 years to break even. After you fight your homeowners insurance adjusters bitching about you having a bit too much power independence mounted on your roof sucking profit from the power pigs feeding Florida, claiming the structural integrity of your roof might be compromised by weight alone.

Never mind the fact the solar panel mounts quietly voided your roof warranty. A tactic abused by professional finger pointers speaking in legalese..

overpriced unsellable disposable dogshit made out of plastic and Greed currently rotting away on every new car lot.

Are you angry? I can't tell.

I know. It’s tough to discern when I paint in subtle shades like that. Should have added an F-bomb for flavor.

I can afford a new car and do my own maintenance. My frustration is more for the growing army of citizen victims who absolutely cannot, which is considerable when you factor just how many 500-credit score morons got approved to feed the automotive repo problem, which alone could become the next financial crisis. 2008 it was home mortgages. 2026 will be car mortgages. Where it’s legal to charge 20% interest and fiscally cripple a moron who justifies budgets with girl math and TikTok trends.

Cars are not exactly optional in America if you wish to be considered a capable effective member of society. Not everyone can live in NYC and pretend we’re Europe. Less than 5% of America is crazy enough to even try.

Comment The challenge for AI? Sales. (Score 0) 93

The AI was an excuse for layoffs. They fired thousands of workers. This is signaling to the current employees that the layoffs are done, to prevent them from quitting and finding other jobs.

Really? Because I thought the signal to every employee was being told more in the form of the overpriced unsellable disposable dogshit made out of plastic and Greed currently rotting away on every new car lot.

AI has a problem to solve alright. How to account for the idiocy of comparing line worker pay the the CEO of the company as a basis for hostile union “negotiations” that insisted an American auto worker be paid as much as the new six-figure barbers** out there to build the kind of “quality” dogshit that might last as long as the car loan, IF you’re smart enough to NOT follow the manufacturers maintenance schedule designed to break it prematurely.

** Yeah, no shit that bubble burst for barbers. It’s also gonna pop hard for the UAW when there’s no more reason to have a union because only 5% of America can afford your Greed. The stealership, had too long of a run. Now Reality sets in. Hard.

Treating compulsive shopping, gambling, etc. :)

Woah, hold up. The hell makes you think US Capitalism wants to cut back on all that sweet, sweet GDP?

Did anyone speculate as to why a $200 billion dollar legal gambling market, keeps bookies in Federal prison? Because I’m willing to bet a member of the Congressional Insider Trading Consortium is willing to bet on it.

There’s a reason US education doesn’t include financial education. Treating a compulsive shopping disorder will soon be considered an act of terror against American fiscal policy. Just ask the college campus defending their catalog.

These are people who are in the employ of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. They're literally being paid to encourage people to use AI in the most wasteful, token-burning way possible. Until hard data comes out, one should take anything said by these people with a huge grain of salt and listen to the people who actually have to spend tokens thoughtfully because of budgets.

The average skilled tech worker, fully loaded, is likely north of $200K/year. There's your hard data from the CFOs perspective.

Even the ones trying to use the AI magic 8-ball daily have a lot of tokens to burn if they get rid of even one employee.

And they're addicted to trying because some updayte it will replace 100 employees.
