I'm sure the man who sleeps with his secretaries on company time has great ideas on how much time I should be in the office.

I must've read the words "Jevon's Paradox" a hundred times today, I didn't realize that many people had their livelihood predicated on NVidia going to the moon forevermore.

The conspiracy theorist who lives in my brain wants to say its intentional to make us more open to blatant cheating as something that's just a "cost of doing business." (I swear I saw this phrase a half dozen times in the orange site thread about this)

The earnest part of me tells me no, these guys are just clowns, but I dunno, they can't all be this dumb right?

It's the imbalance of power. No one wants to be the gatekeeper at the local game store telling the 12 year old kid "Sorry, you can't play your Spongebob deck here tonight", whereas as the ones printing the cards, they can be gatekeepers of "Sorry, you can't play your deck without the One Ring here tonight" off of the basis of "normal" power creep.

Now I wonder if Musk calling the diver "pedo guy" was him thinking "yeah, this is exactly what Tony Stark would say to the bad guy" because he doesn't understand media literacy even a little bit. (More likely, it's just him being the regular type of weird we've come to expect from him)

Meta's happy to give away models for free, so models are evidently worth $0.

You're correct that I can't stop them from making pants on head stupid decisions, but I'm not going to stop making fun of them.

very likely making it economically viable…

They're going to fund currently economically nonviable nuclear plants to power their currently economically nonviable genAI schemes? Over the time horizon of ~~25 years~~ a decade (edit: misread the article) before they scale up energy capacity at all past the rnd stage? Maybe pants on head is too generous.

Exactly, its a natural conclusion of accepting commodification as the One True Path. Words don't mean anything if they don't make a profit, and clearly you're a bozo who can't Make It (and the bar of Making It is always rising because Number Go Up), so you should join the borg and let my buddy Claude speak for you.

This is 10000 words to promote being a garbage person, what the fuck.

When the average rationalist screed looks like this, I assume the reason they're so absolutist for freedom of speech is because they never actually read each other's speech.

Wait, the thin frames in the first picture are the "sound barrier". Good lord.

Orange site post with a bunch of people saying burnout is a learning experience and that its okay to be perpetually depressed because it makes you more disruptive.

I don't have anything clever to say about this.
