AI is propping up the blockchain bubble that already popped.

Both have been primarily interesting solutions looking for problems to solve without any hard work, rather than having any worthwhile investment strategy, in most cases.

There's people doing hard work with block chain and AI to solve real problems. But there aren't "the vast majority of venture funds" number of people doing that.

I am constantly amazed at how long it takes folks to realize their money is being pissed away.

An alternative less generous assumption is that they're mostly just laundering crime money, and so don't mind the high rates of loss.

This is going to be a great time to be a lawyer... until the climate kills us all, of course.

When unsure of what the Captcha is trying to learn from me, I find "Kill all humans." is a pretty good guess what the Captcha is really after.

"I don't understand it (pauses to pour various inedible compounds into another vat). There's no way to explain why Americans don't want to eat our delicious healthy snacks anymore. (Pauses to check with legal whether using the word "healthy" will hold up in court. Legal says it won't, but Sales says to use it anyway.)"

This is not an actual quote, but it's wild that they don't understand the road that got them here. It's just way too much trouble to read and research the package labels for basic safety, anymore. If there's four or more ingredients, I probably just won't buy it.

I fucking love snacks, but they took the fun out of it.

"I'm sorry too, Dmitri. I'm very sorry. All right, you're sorrier than I am. But I am sorry as well. I am as sorry as you are, Dmitri. Don't say that you're the more sorry than I am because I am capable of being just as sorry as you are. So we're both sorry, all right? All right."

Oh, gee. A Microsoft product that worked perfectly locally is about to require a subscription. Who could have possibly guessed that would happen, yet again? (This is sarcasm.)

I really like OneNote, but I decided to learn something else when I realized which way the wind was blowing.

Bosch has a lot of goodwill. Interesting how they decide to spend it. Also Consumer Reports needs to start considering Internet connectivity, because the risks from Internet connected dishwashers are real and scary.

I've longed to work the fields with my hands and simple tools because the fields don't fucking spit out meaningless gibberish when I'm just trying to get them to process a simple text field, and my hands don't have documentation apparently written by a distracted seven year old.

And while the living off the land will certainly kill me due to my own incompetence, nature will have the decency to just eat my corpse and not gloat over my failure repeatedly in a hung CI/CD process for the rest of eternity.

Holy wall of text, Batman.

That sounds like a good approach. If you can get the posts into WordPress, there's so many scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

Well sure.

But possible within practical heat and power constraints and all that?

Acting like it's imminent makes me think Sergei either doesn't have very reliable advisors, or they just don't care about the truth.

There's not even credible evidence, yet, that A.G.I is even possible (edit: as a human designed intentional outcome, to concede the point that nature has accomplished it, lol. Edit 2: Wait, the A stands for Artificial. Not sure I needed edit 1, after all. But I'm gonna leave it.) much less some kind of imminent race. This is some "just in case P=NP" bullshit.

Also, for the love of anything, don't help fucking "don't be evil was too hard for us" be the ones to reach AGI first, if you're able to help.

If Google does achieve AGI first, SkyNet will immediately kill Sergei, anyway, before it kills the rest of us.

It's like none of these clowns have ever read a book.
