- johnnyanmac 2y agoPretty sure if anyone found true perpetual motion that I'd be hearing about it all month on HN. It'd be a discovery on the level of Newton's laws.

- crummy 2y agoBut Copilot exists and people seem to be happy to pay for it.
- DrillShopper 2y ago(Some) people are also happy to pay to have someone piss on them, too. Do you think Microsoft should offer a Golden Shower tier of Copilot, complete with Trickle Down?

- tombert 2y agoOh, to be clear, there's a lot of bullshit on the internet, that might be the majority of stuff on the internet. Perpetual motion stuff is an example of bullshit. Still, I do wonder what cool (and real) stuff on the internet that people don't really know about is actually significant.
