What a bizarre comment. You seem to suffer some hysterical Trump derangement syndrome. I'm describing Trump's entire lifetime of actions , and it requires no reading of minds. He is famous for stiffing contractors and constantly

Having those industries subsumed by the US would help us how? Further, dairy and poultry are an interesting one. Do you think the US is asking us to eliminate supply management? Because you should know they aren't . They are asking us

Is this some sort of weird AI slop? Like, what even is this nonsense? "~70% of Canadian exports go to the US" If you remove oil[1], Canada has a trade deficit with the US. And strangely the US has never said an iota about tariff

This ill-conceived, Kegsbreath-run operation depleted weapons stocks, gave enormous levels of intel on its systems (which both Russia and China are loving), burned through hundreds of billions in spend, and made Ameirca look like an impoten

A lot of it has been half-hearted. Basically "wait out this loser and everything will go back to the way it was". A lot of Americans are leaning on this as well. Like over the last year we (Canada) should have utterly obliterated

Trump believes everything on this planet is zero sum, and the only way you can benefit is if the other party hurts. His entire history on this planet betrays this, where he is an unreliable scumbag to everyone he has ever dealt with, to t

Importantly Canada has committed to matching every American tariff dollar for dollar, which the US already considers unfathomable. Greer repeatedly cites that only Canada and China retaliated, which is such a weird criticism. Is he intendin

I scan to see if there are one of those dickovers, and if there is I check the archive mirror, but in this case it also has the login wall. Eh, click back and move on with life. I am not signing up to every fringe website for one off articl

As an aside, I forgot to reply to this- "and the insurance agencies that give discounts" Which insurance agencies give discounts for unmonitored cameras? Can you cite it? I can find a couple that give a meaningless tiny discount,

A camera does not prevent crime. It never has, anywhere on the planet. Monitoring does prevent crime, and people who look out for cameras aren't worried about the camera, they're worried about active monitoring. They're w

2019 had 99 murders. This has absolutely nothing to do with Flock, and the notion is perverse nonsense. Cameras do not prevent crime. This has been eminently shown endlessly. Now ideally they help then find the culprits, but in practice thi

I completely agree with you. But that doesn't change that Gruber's fixation on the EU is strange , specifically because he's so ego-tied to Apple that he strikes out like a untrained chihuahua at his list of Apple adversarie

Good point, and I should have been clearer that I don't think he uses or will use it for writing. He's far too skilled of a writer to need it, and at best it would be a handicap.

Gruber has long been a talented, excellent writer. I hugely doubt he uses AI at all, nor does he plan to. His first take on this situation was cutely naive, thinking they were going to inject secret hidden unicode characters. But ultimately

by llm_nerd 2mo ago
Gruber went from the naively wrong claim that it would insert secret hidden characters (which would be trivial to remove, obviously), to quickly writing a giant essay as if he's an expert on LLMs. Like you said, he is strangely fixated

The bizarre "you're welcome" in the title is so obnoxious that I was sure it would be related to some sort of funny twist in the blog entry. Nope, they really thought that was appropriate.

Exercise and basic activity absolutely, unequivocally "works" for removing glucose from blood, which was the foundation of this argument. I'm not giving people diet advice. Indeed, we were talking about frosted flakes, and th

Hrmmm, is your comment AI? Are you a bot? Just being honest here, but your comment and your history on AI has a real "AI smell" to it.

Ah, a made up dichotomy. Did the AI generate it for you? Hilarious stuff. Then implying that I'm "denying reality" for pointing out that people are declaring everything AI. There are things that are obviously "AI",
