It looks like the current administration hates solar, but maybe things will change in a few years. California and Texas are among the world leaders, so there's still hope.

This is not true. Energy prices are rising globally, even in countries with few or no data centers and declining industrial activity. It increasingly looks like a coordinated effort to extract as much revenue as possible from consumers befo

A service economy is an utopia or a scam if you wish. You don't have to be a conservative to understand this. That being said, maybe you shouldn't burn bridges with the biggest producer in the world when you're trying to be a

None of the above. Cruel as in manipulating others and taking advantage of others for their own personal gain whenever they get the chance.

This might be controversial, but I genuinely love AI-generated “video slop”. Hear me out for a second: I’m utterly exhausted by influencers peddling their endless “buy this crap” content. Honestly, the AI slop often feels more creative, les

I wouldn’t say it’s particularly good, at least not based on my limited experience. While some people argue it’s significantly better, I’ve found it to be noticeably slower than Claude, often taking two to three times longer to complete the

Democracy? Strengthened! Nothing says “informed electorate” like not knowing if a politician actually said they support nazism or if it was just a hyper-realistic AI puppet. Trust in media? Soaring! Why believe your eyes or ears when you ca

I never claimed gold is the fundamental indicator of greed. It's just one of many greed indicators. And greed is at all time high. Including gold.

I’ve got more money than I know what to do with and now, thanks to OpenAI, I’ve found the perfect custom-built solution: an AI agent ready to spend it for me.

I don’t think it’s just a quirk. I’ve tested Claude across Java, Python, TypeScript and several other projects. The results are consistent, regardless of language or project structure, though it definitely performs better with smaller codeb

My subjective personal experience is the exact opposite of yours, GPT-5-codex is super slow and the results are mediocre at best. I would probably stop using AI for coding if I was forced to use GPT-5-codex.

Are we really just copying China now, while pretending that our system is superior and that we hold the moral high ground?

It's lawyers. Definitely lawyers and copyright laws. You could also add corruption and age, but these are problems that can be found in China as well.

But these guys don't care about your social and political problems. All they care about is winning the technology race with China and making ungodly amounts of money in the process.

In 2008, the system collapsed because politicians and global institutions hadn’t yet fully embraced debt-fueled illusions as the only path forward. Back then, Ponzi-like schemes still carried stigma, they weren’t openly endorsed as policy.
