It's maddening that they did actually take away the headphone jack from all modern phones and there's nothing we can do about it even though it objectively sucks

I like the format of this video except for that mid-plug for Patreon. Leave it for the end.

As to the actual text of the video:

At the end of my short adventure at MSFT I realised I organically obtained the abiity to read through Satya's emails. He had the uncanny ability to take a single sentence and extend it into a 3-paragraph email. Like, he would send a message whose actual information content was "we're cancelling the annual base salary increase" but it would take up your entire fucking screen. However, after receiving so many of those, after some time I was able to read it effectively -- skip the first paragraph, there's never anything of worth there; if the sentence starts as if it weren't leading anywhere then it's not, don't bother; read every second word -- there, you just saved 5 minutes and learnt exactly the same thing.

I never considered language ability to be any indicator of smarts. I've learnt your godawful language from scratch, literally anyone can do this, Elon Musk spoke reasonable English (before drugs and 4chan ate his brain). I don't mean it as something virtuous, as if I was better by not having this "flaw", but rather as... I never realised just how much of your image comes from that. So you're telling me people think this guy is smart because he uses four-syllable words? Wow. One of the best engineers I've met speaks like B1 English, makes constant grammar mistakes, and speaks with an accent thicker than Yud's skull, who the fuck cares, everything he says about software is pure gold. And now I realise he probably never got that promotion he was aiming at because some dipshit above him thought he sounded dumb?

There's no wonder the managerial class loves genAI so much, their entire shtick depends on copious amounts of form hiding the roughly five words of substance they come up with monthly. At least Satya doesn't have to spend so much time writing that slop I ignored anyway...

Jesus GNU Christ, Live your life so that no one ever produces a systematic classification of your opinions that looks like this

I was reading David and Amy's stuff on energy costs of AI and ended up skimming the MSFT "environment sustainability report" and... god

Like I don't even know how to satirise this. Help me sneer pros, for I am too depressed to make fun of this.

Very chill and ethical behaviour daddy Microsoft

vaguely libertarian computer programming intern to radicalized full-stack anarchist

I just have to ask, is full-stack here referring to the programmer path, or is it "full-stack anarchist"? If the latter, I need an explainer of which part of anarchism is the back-end and which the front, and also where can I find the job postings.

it will have to be airtight but also its connection to ice will have to be so

just flex tape it bro why you so negative

1. Sure, I'm not even going to verify this one since it's so low stakes.
2. This is ill-defined.
3. Again ill-defined, and I need dates on this, we've been sequencing DNA for like 50yrs at this point.
4. Lol, Neuralink kills monkeys, there's zero indication of its "inevitability".
5. Lol^2, none of that shit works mate. Name one person whose life was extended with cryonics.
6. AI is ill-defined, plus dates please.
7. And how well did that go?
8. First of all, that's called Moore's Law after the actual guy who made this prediction, you can't credit someone else than Moore for Moore's Law, wtf. Second, this hasn't held for at least a decade now; we've been focusing on completely different things than raw CPU speed to actually increase compute.
9. "Answer questions" there is a load-bearing term. Did he mean search engines? Is this deriberately vague?
10. I'm sorry? First, a 3D printed prosthetic is not an exoskeleton, what kind of a logic leap is that. Second, citation needed on "3D printable prosthetic limbs" actually being in use right now on any scale.

If we grow AIs too big, say, bigger than the Moon, then well, the Moon could get jealous and mad at us.

Wytham abbey was technically a manor house but “EA gets a castle” is objectively a funnier meme.

My "My non-profit castle is actually a manor house" t-shirt provokes a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

Also I'm sorry, but "EA buys a castle, but akchualy it's a manor house so it's cool" is objectively the funniest meme.

V0ldek, the largest poster in the Sneer industry, announced a strategic expansion of his big swinging dick. This significant move underscores V0ldek's dedication to advancing Sneer accessibility and efficiency, further solidifying his role as a pioneer in shaping the future of Sneering.

With a dick length exceeding 100cm (according to V0ldek) and a reputation for strategic investments in diverse subreddits, including SneerClub and Buttcoin mining, V0ldek continues to demonstrate his commitment to calling out bullshit.
