It’s a huge waste of money at this point, and the technology will become rapidly antiquated. The depreciation will be insanely high, while the software that’s requires it becomes much more efficient. At this point we already have enough data centers, we just need more efficient software and smarter usage.

That’s fair, as long as it’s recognized that it’s that way for now, and rapidly changing.

That just sounds like bad management, and a huge opportunity to cut costs by switching to Linux and something like cursor or other alternatives.

Why would anyone use Copilot when you have so many other options. Cursor just released Composer 2.5 and it’s actually decent. I should have a job right now doing this.

My best behavior is to make the 1% scared.

The fact that they work without transistors.

Good, let them go to their vacation homes wherever and let us take back control of our shit.

I genuinely think they’re dumb, they have no sense of the fact that their greed and gatekeeping will bring about a serious shift in society. They should be trying to create new job opportunities and programs for people to innovate, yet we’re gridlocked in a shit late-stage capitalist society where we can’t actually do anything because of weird zoning laws and regulations.

“The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it — it is just too lazy,” Huang told Channel News Asia. “AI has just arrived, how is it possible they’re already losing jobs?”

Why are these guys so dumb, how did they get into positions of power? I think mostly just by being willing to stand up in front of a crowd and camera? AI hasn’t just arrived, it’s been improved over the last couple of years, and has become much more capable recently.

Those aren’t AI summaries. Instead of digging deeper into being wrong, how about you just chill.

That’s not going to happen no matter what. Open source models are already catching up to frontier proprietary models. Altman wishes he had a monopoly over that, but he doesn’t. The bubble won’t last, and things like OpenRouter will become the main way people use AI. Google alone is a major reason why intelligence will never be like a utility like electricity or water or internet.

Horology

Oh wow, who would have thought? It’s almost like demon oil companies were trying to hide this or something.

The stock market is genuinely meaningless and has been detached from the real economy for well over a decade. It’s indicative of nothing other than greed and the fact that the federal government keeps printing money and handing it directly to the wealthy.

This is a main part of the reason, yes. They actually innovated and did something that pushed the technology forward to be much more efficient, which we first saw with DeepSeek R1 for different reasons.

I don’t really feel any sympathy for them.

I’m playing it on Linux Mint, and it was stalling and crashing right after pressing enter in the start screen. I switched to Proton 11.0 (Beta) and it solved the problem. Just for anyone who may have the same issue.

Thanks for hoping, I don’t.

Good, please do this. It’s so fucking unnecessary to change the clock, and it’s a nonpartisan issue. I bet someone could do a deep analysis of how much it costs us each year during that hour time change, people showing up late, missing appointments, traffic patterns, etc.

🕒 The Real Cost of “Springing Forward”

Changing the clocks isn’t just annoying—it is a massive, self-inflicted tax on our health, safety, and economy. Here is what that one hour of lost sleep actually costs us every year:

• 💸 The Direct Economic Hit: Economic analysis pegs the immediate cost of the spring transition at over 672 million dollars in lost productivity, wages, and medical costs.
• 📉 The Productivity Crash: Workplace productivity drops by roughly 20% on the Monday following the time change.
• 🚗 Danger on the Roads: Fatal car accidents spike by 6% during the first workweek of Daylight Saving Time, as millions of sleep-deprived commuters are suddenly forced back into driving in pitch-black morning conditions.
• 🏥 Severe Health Spikes: Heart attacks increase by 24% on the Monday after the shift. Workplace injuries jump by 5.7%, and because workers are fatigued, those injuries tend to be far more severe—resulting in 67.6% more days lost from work.
• 💡 The “Energy Saving” Myth: The original excuse for DST was to save energy, but modern studies show the actual global savings are a microscopic 0.3%. In fact, many regions see energy bills go up because of increased morning heating and extended evening air conditioning.

The Bottom Line: We are tanking our health, risking lives on the road, and bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars every single year—all to chase a century-old lighting rule that doesn’t even save energy anymore.
