Interesting how a vast majority of the right wingers I know, including my dad, don’t research anything at all, and only rely on algorithms to give them right wing rage bait.

My dad for example said to me that “all these foreign exchange students are getting $50k grants for entering the country on MY taxes” after hearing it on TikTok, then I did the most minor research and found that it’s only for one of the states (I think either QLD or WA, can’t remember which though). I rebutted his claim by stating that it’s state legislation and has no basis in taking other state taxes nor much federal tax, and he gave me a long winded explanation basically just to say that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

Apparently getting force fed slop on TikTok and instagram reels makes you a prolific researcher, while actually researching makes you a bum or something.

Unrelated to algorithms but I opened Roblox yesterday after not playing for a long while and I found that they’ll give you a ‘free item’ if you do an age check

Disgusting, coercive bullshit just so kids can give their biometric data to American companies. Funny how the eSafety Commission managed to completely forget about the privacy rights of children, let alone those of adults, just so they can rush through their age verification legislation like the world depended on it.

When I was in year 12 of high school last year, some students attempted to use ChatGPT to write their practice exams for them. Mind you, these practice exams are the same as proper state mandated exams, where there are to be zero electronics used whatsoever unless it’s a disability aid, but the practice ones are also just that, to practice your skills, not to write it off as some worthless obligation.

There were actually heaps more of these students who entirely used LLMs for their assignments, would be made to rewrite them because it’s AI written, then proceed to have ChatGPT write it again and pass it through a ‘humaniser’ which just made it unreadable. It’s alarming that these people are willing to stop using their mind at all just because some service from half way across the world wrote an essay better than they could before.

“We are now rolling back the update we already spent 40 minutes installing. Resistance is futile.”

I swear, AMD and Microsoft are two brain cells competing for third place

Wowza, nobody had foreseen this happening! Well, apart from everyone in the tech sector, and all who were laid off in almost every sector, and everyone else… ahh forget it!

How so?

And how should I trust your opinion since your account is 5 days old currently, as well as how your activity is that of a comment bot?

I’ve been told the same thing, they said god gave me my strength, but realistically if this “god” did give me anything, it would be my weaknesses and hostile social environment, where I was forced to find my own strengths that a god couldn’t give unless they wanted me to face some sort of mythological nepotism.

So running a community forum on a decade old laptop, or someone using a hand-me-down phone to watch videos are equal to openAI’s stargate hyperscaler?

We don’t classify a laptop a data centre just because it was repurposed as a web server, and furthermore, devices are so powerful today that you could probably do the same on a smart watch.

Either you don’t know what a data centre is, or are intentionally skewing the definition of “data centre” to fit your snarky reply.

To make it more efficient, we should have as many people as possible doing the hole punching

Wait, didn’t he talk about the antichrist at a conference, and basically describe himself? Pretty fitting honestly

So I guess the plan is to make a somehow buoyant hyperscaler powered on tidal energy tech which is pretty much still in its infancy, and radiate all the heat in an already too hot ocean?

Lovely idea, Theil, I hope it leaks.

My hyperfixated interests tend to be about technology in general, and adjacent to that, ive recently started watching around 7 episodes of Star Trek (currently on the 1st season of The Original Series), and plan to keep watching it for a long while.

My previous fixation lasted 7 months straight, and it was obsessively researching into computer memory architectures, mainly the unified and universal memory architectures. I haven’t even become bored of it yet, it’s just something I research less in now since I did it so thoroughly that I might need a break haha.

Ive also had another one that started around 10 months ago, around the same one as the memory architecture one, but is still going, and it’s about diving into how my mind works and how I can make things easier for myself (as well as find more evidence of me being neurodivergent, which has been very successful). Ive found that I’m very likely AuDHD (if you haven’t already realised from the previous statements), and I’ve been tying in many factors, including daily behaviours, a concussion I had 3 years and 3 days ago, etc, and have compiled it into a shit ton of digital notes.

I mean, OneDrive did the same, except their tactic was just to delete your files instead of store them, instead of increasing it…

I have tended towards making very simple, quick, healthy and hearty breakfast meals, since those make or break the day for me if I have the wrong thing.

One breakfast I have is 150g hummus, around 50g of feta and a large whole grain wrap (cut into pieces and microwaved to be like chips), with the batching I use lasting around a week. I get a $6AUD 1kg tub of hummus per week (and usually have a spare as rollover if there isn’t enough in the tub I take from,) $4 250g feta block, and a $4 pack of 8 large whole grain wraps.

I’m likely not accurate with the pricing, since I don’t tend to concentrate a lot on the pricing since I’ve found this breakfast good value, but it tends to come to ~$1.90 per serving.

It’s also why I tend to do intermittent fasting a lot (for usually at least 7 hours), as it is very filling.

Not saying you need my solution, since finding your own solution would allow it to be integrated better into your routine, although inspiration is also great (the wrap idea was from my sister for instance).

Sure, these glasses are a corporate surveillance state nightmare, but keep in mind, assault shouldn’t be something you consider, unless it’s justifiable.

Most places have law stating the public can be recorded freely by anyone, which is basically why these exist, so the justification needs to actually hold weight, such as being stalked or other reasons.

There’s also the fact that these glasses could be used by disabled individuals who are using them as aids, and quite frankly, assaulting a disabled person, even if you don’t know they’re disabled is a significant aggravating factor in court. You really don’t want that for yourself.

This is some Chernobyl Geiger counter type shit
