AI is not delivering on it's promises, and we're figuring that out. The market is due for a serious correction.

Electric vehicles are a great idea, and battery technology is catching up to market expectations. However, trying to force everyone into an electric vehicle earlier than they can afford or they want is a recipe for disaster. Put the money into technology research and stop trying to force the issue at the government level.

First, I think Comet is a stupid, brain-smoothing security risk.

Second, trying to tell me the customer I can't use Perplexity to shop is like saying I can't use Safari or Chrome or whatever. Sure you could put technical roadblocks in place to prevent it, but it's stupid for Amazon to try and enforce this.

Did you type that comment from Netscape Navigator? No, because tools change all the time - but the skills to integrate knowledge last a lifetime.

Palantir-specific skills - like data analysis, machine learning / AI, and a government security clearance? I'm pretty sure with a start at Palantir you could get a job almost anywhere.

Many people think of envy as being jealous and wanting what others have. In reality, envy is sorry at another persons good and delight in their misfortune.

Your TDS has made you really envious. Despite a great economy and widespread prosperity, you need him to fail to satisfy your envy. Your demand for failure outweighs the supply so you invent or exaggerate failure to make up the balance.

Many people think of envy as being jealous and wanting what others have. In reality, envy is sorry at another persons good and delight in their misery. Having listened to libs talk about Trump they share a recurring fantasy that he would destroy the whole country and economy- they desire reality ti match their envious thoughts. They want misfortune on Trump and all his supporters. It is envy in a highly concentrated and corrosive form.

People vastly underestimate how little data we have on autonomous vehicles. For context, we drive about 3,300,000,000,000 miles a year in the United States.

All autonomous vehicles across the entirety of the last 10 years have only driven about 200,000,000 miles- six orders of magnitude less. That is the equivalent of driving from your house to the corner store and saying youâ(TM)re as good a driver as someone who has crossed the United States 12 times.

If you simply look at the raw probability of having a novel situation or potentially fatal situation over 1,000,000 times more miles, autonomous vehicles have not even scratched the surface. We need to be very, very careful about the idea that we have mastered autonomous vehicles and should roll them out en masse on highways.

That makes for a pretty philosophical argument over drinks, but no one really acts as though the universe is random. Even the fact that you felt the need to explain your point of view to us shows that you believe there is an order to the universe and want to explain it to us.

You must - MUST - have a human double checking this. Dispatching any kind of response without human review invites catastrophe.

Liberalism is a misnamed mind virus, going all the way back to Voltaire. You are laboring under a false conception of reality.

Liberals were the party of slavery who assassinated Lincoln.

Liberals vastly expanded the government in unconstitutional ways under FDR, who was a friend of communism and fascism.

Liberals sold us free love and great society programs that hollowed out families, especially black families. Their great hero Margaret Sanger was a racist who spoke at KKK rallies.

Liberals told us we had to shut our schools and fear for our lives for a virus that killed nobody under 40, then forced everyone to get an experimental jab that killed people (look up the excess deaths problem.)

Liberals told little girls to undress in front of perverted, mentally ill grown men, and then shamed their parents for saying no.

Liberals told everyone that we had to let murderers and rapists and sex traffickers overrun our borders and cities and anyone who disagreed was a racist and heartless and stupid.

Reality, actual reality, is asserting itself. Trump got elected again because reality has a bias towards itself, no matter how many times you tell yourself the opposite. Wake up- the rest of us already have.

Two things can be true at the same time: the manufacturer can say its worthless and it can still help treat covid.

Despite political pressure to the contrary, numerous randomized studies found reductions in mortality when Ivermectin was used in treatment of covid. You might be laboring under bad / outdated information. Even more than that: if you're wrong about this, what else might you have accepted from the mainstream media that is wrong? It's worth considering...

It's interesting how people get TDS and all science goes out the window. Ivermectin is a great example; it's cheap, safe, and effective for a lot of uses. The discovery won a Nobel Prize. I know a doctor here in town that is using it to treat autoimmune symptoms to good effect.

And yet, some people have a very narrow-minded, talking points memo version of reality if Trump is even remotely involved. It's sad.

I'm already leery of how much my behavior is shaped by search engines and major aggregator algorithms on Reddit/X/etc...

A full-on AI browser is a brain-smoothing privacy nightmare.

When everyone had to make their own website, you had to want to be here and the content you made had to be worth the effort. However, that did keep a lot of really interesting and creative people from making anything because they lack the requisite skills. Today we have a lot of schlock, but we also have a lot of really amazing content that didnâ(TM)t exist before.
