   I'm sorry to hear that it makes you sad. Maybe it's not empowering for many programmers, but stuff like GPT has inspired many non-programmers to learn programming just to use it. Which is pretty empowering.

   Have y'all noticed that the same people who insist on paper straws also want us to use compostable plastic utensils? Like come on, pick a lane!

   The cult-like devotion to Cathie Wood just blows my mind. Reminds me of Elon diehards, the kinds who think he makes no errors and any ostensible mistake is 4D chess or a clever troll to stick it to the haters. I wonder if these phenomena ar

   Don't downplay the value of watching agents talk to each other for amusement. I got a lot of mileage out of that and will continue to do so.

   We've come a long way since fighting oil, metal, sugar and meat monopolies and cartels. Now we're worried about Walmart buying TV brands. Really puts the past century into perspective for me.

   Walmart buying cheap crappy TV brand is antitrust in a world that has many cheap crappy TV brands? At least the Microsoft and IE thing made some sense, it's not like we're hurting for choice here.

    Be safe, everyone! There is a flash-epidemic every year in the US around this time that has us scratching our heads. Thankfully almost everyone survives it with no long-term effects, with hangover-like symptoms being the most severe of the

    I feel bad for the illustrators of three-armed, seventeen-fingered mutants, document summarizers, and fact-hallucinating management consultants who've been replaced by AI this year.

    Hi, sorry I've got an effect on some folks. I'm not a climate change denier, and that climate change is real and that we've caused it are things I consider uncontroversial. I've not seen people like that in this thread n

    Understanding something often means asking basic questions. This forum has many folks who value questioning like a skeptic, something like a Socratic dialog. Kind of unfair to call people deluded just because you and many others have reache

    Hard to attribute that to defamation. Not saying there's no causal link, but funding can be fickle and this could happen if climate change science ever becomes unsexy or saturated.

    Building a wall of that scale overnight would be quite a feat, almost as impressive as successfully getting people to start using paper straws.

    Using drugs as such isn't a crime, you're hurting nobody but yourself. An addict may steal to feed their habit, but it's their theft that's the crime, not having shot up that morning. It's clear that the act of taki

    The root of that issue is that they can't work. Not legally. For all the complaints anti-immigration people make about immigrants not working, they seem to do everything they can to make it impossible to work here legally, regardless o

    I really hope more people can use this loophole as much as possible. The lack of immigrants is lowering the standards of this country, so perhaps if the trend continues, this will no longer be a loophole but a by-the-book exhibition of extr
