After reading that link, that quote makes sense now :)

Thanks for the laugh! :D

Don't you have any shame and get tired of repeating the same tired talking points of the zionists?

Iran has supposedly been 2 weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for the past 30 years?!

Meanwhile in the real world, Iran's ayatollah published a famous religious edict (fatwa) banning nuclear weapons development, and Iran has been a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty (NPT) along with the JCPOA and UN inspectors have always stated there was no evidence of a nuclear weapons program.

Even the CIA admitted their intelligence showed Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon, and Tulsi Gabbard stated as much just before the war.

All the while, the rogue terrorist zionist regime has never signed the NPT, nor joined the JCPOA, nor admitted to stockpiling nuclear bombs despite intelligence to the contrary⦠and having the "Samson option"!

It's rather amazing that many now believe Iran should have just gone ahead and developed a nuclear weapon, it might have kept the terrorist apartheid regime from launching massacres every few years with their neighbours - or, "mowing the lawn" as the zionists like to say.

All this because America on behest of their master in the terrorist apartheid regime started an illegal war against civilians.
Marco Rubio stated as much, that America was pulled into the war.

Not only has that made Iranian people side more with their government, especially after revelations that Trump was providing weapons to protestors early in the year, but the new government has become more hardline.

Imagine if Iran unjustly attacked America to "save Americans from their Epstein paedophiles and corrupt MAGA politicians", while bombing a children school in New York on the first day, and then going on to destroy other schools and hospitals in the following weeks - you wouldn't become more patriotic and rally around your government to go after the attackers?!

Iran is doing exactly as they stated they would, and gave us at least a year's notice of their intentions to close the strait, and bomb American interests in the Middle East - also exactly what the terrorist apartheid regime wanted: they want to destroy the Middle East, especially UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia as almost half of Saudi Arabia is part of the "Greater Israel project".

Thanks to the terrorist apartheid regime, we have been giving over 20 years of warnings to Iran to destroy their country - they had plenty of time to prepare.
Remember former NATO commander and US Army General Wesley Clark shortly after 9/11: plan to “take out” seven countries in five years, naming Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't going to be any AI bubble-bursting event for a while to come.

If anything, more companies are jumping on and finding intriguing and amazing uses for AI such as in the medicine and surgical space, whether using reasoning models or image/video/audio generation.
I may not agree with AI, but sadly it's looking more and more like the future behind everything, and many of us will sadly, soon find ourselves as reviewers/testers in organisations powered by AI.

As huggingface shows, AI is growing leaps and bounds and new general intelligence and reasoning models keep being produced, along with the data centres to back them - e.g. Alibaba's Qwen, or moonshot's Kimi, or Xiaomi's MiMo, or DeepSeek, etc, all of which are right up there together with Google's Gemini 3 and OpenAI's GPT-5 in benchmarks like GPQA Diamond or Humanity's Last Exam.

These benchmarks show that the newer reasoning AI models do far better than those with PhDs or subject matter experts.

Then there's nVidia and Amazon who are pursuing and creating their own AI models, Nemotron and Nova.

I think most agree with what you're saying, especially the first part.

The problem is modern software development, especially with "Agile" - in the real-world - means sacrificing quality over speed of delivery. Sadly most organisations don't care about code quality (thus cheap offshore devs), or the hardware required to run it. In fact, hardware is rather cheap compared to a developer's time, even with such high memory costs.

As for the second part - the reason modern games require massive amounts of storage is due to higher fidelity and photo-realistic games. Thus, much larger textures (like 4k quality), much higher polygon count means complex maps and layers of textures, and then there's the localisation files, high-quality audio and actor voices and orchestral scores, cinematic videos, and countless other assets like huge maps and unique terrain unlike repeated tiles. Many assets are stored with light compression for on-the-fly decoding and loading to minimise stutters for fast-paced 60+ fps games.

I don't quite agree with everything you said, but I'm willing to overlook everything because of your correct use of the word fecundity. 10/10, would reply again.

It's been a while since a comment on Slashdot made me happy. Thank you, sir.

Also, thank you for being a teacher. People say "thank you for your service" to military men when I'd rather say "fuck you for participating in the violent colonial exploitation of militarily weaker nations".

Thank you for your service.

I have kids too. I'm not going to pretend that I have all the answers. But parents have lost the ability to properly impart etiquette to their kids, in many cases because they have none themselves. So kids' behaviour in public has gotten worse. Simultaneously, adults have become spoiled brats unwilling to tolerate even the slightest discomfort, which is why you have people whining about having to listen to crying babies on flights. For fuck's sake babies are the literal future of our species.

Kids' etiquette needs to be improved.
Adults need to grow up.

I've travelled around the world, and it's only the so-called advanced Western countries that have this problem. For example, I was in Vietnam recently and kids' public behaviour was practically alien compared to kids back in Australia where I live. When kids did cry or make a ruckus, nobody even looked up. It was just understood that that is what it meant to live in a society that had kids.

Alternatively we fix that problem at both ends: we raise kids to behave well in public, and we as a society understand that putting up with kids who are in the process of learning etiquette is the price we pay for not going extinct.

Interesting that you feel that those are the only two options. Modern American society provides neither of those. In any case, the rest of the world finds it hilarious that no matter how often and how many of you dumbasses are driven to bankruptcy over mundane medical incidents, you STILL don't see the value in having a few social services provided at the government level. Don't mind me. You keep shrieking some shit about communism because I have to go. I have a doctor's appointment, because getting a regular checkup here in Australia isn't something I have to save up six months ahead for.

No, they use it because they feel that living in a fair society is a good thing. Fucking scumbags.

Sorry, I didn't mean to twist your panties. I was merely pointing out (pedantically, I admit) that the rules of logic are not identical to the rules of statistics. LLMs (and arguably all current generations of AI models) are inherently statistical systems. This can be pretty easily demonstrated by the fact that all current LLMs can be coaxed into saying things that are illogical. As you point out you can "approximate" logic and arrive at logical conclusions with these systems, but you are not doing so using a logic engine. You are doing so using a stochastic system.

At the philosophical level, logic exists outside of our neurons. Its rules are (as far as we accept anything in reality) independent of human existence. So just because our neurons are also subject to the imperfections of stochastic systems does not mean that ALL stochastic systems are logical.

Point of order. LLMs are not applying logic to a data set. They are applying statistical probability models to a data set. Not quite the same thing.

I've argued for a while, AI may not take all jobs, but it certainly will cut down on number of hires.

So instead of several testers, and a team of back-end and front-end devs, depending on size of company, they can get away with half or quarter of the team.

Sadly as AI gets ever more advanced, I envision a time perhaps in a year or two where the senior dev is left mostly just reviewing pull requests generated by AI.

AI is already taking away design opportunities, and you only have to look at some of the professional and frankly, quite amazing presentations and infographics coming out, not to mention the countless thumbnails for YouTube/Rumble videos!

Yes, God is the Greatest.
And?

Isn't that what every religion that believes in a deity, also believe?
