Aha what a loser thing to do, I personally have a fleet of 347 agents running 24/7 talking to my parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, asking them how they're doing and wishing them a happy birthday when the time comes. I can finally focus on the important things!
I think you're downplaying the complexity of cancers, viruses are also sort of a single thing, if you don't think too long about it, yet you will never find a single "cure for viruses"

A lot of them are designed to explode before hitting the target for maximum damage.

Not if you build it properly instead of building a cardboard home with 10gw of AC to keep it nice
What do people even mean by "curing cancer", "curing aging", it's not like a single thing in the first place

Running, exercising, etc.

That's like <5% of their revenues

Re:Pi Is the Last Harness on Sunday November 01, 2026 @10:36AM (#50326641)
Claude code is bloated af, super slow and doesn't give better results the most harnesses. Using codex, claude code and omp back to back makes it painfully clear.

The only place showing some numbers is https://frontierharness.org/ but it isn't really up to date, it's easy to test yourself though

Re:Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews' on Friday October 30, 2026 @02:25PM (#50308137)
Techies are getting a glimpse at how other employees have always been treated all along, and they don't like it.

Maybe they'll start unionising more, back in the days as long as they had a coffee and a chair they never complained...

AI psychosis is real, coupled with the fact that most execs are sociopaths to being with, that's not a good combo

What has socialism to do here lmao, you literally have the PEAK capitalist in the world right now doing the exact thing you complain about and bring an hypothetical SoCiAlIsM as the problem. Man american propaganda is one hell of a drug, I'm surprised you didn't manage to blame cHiNa in the same sentence

> we'll see more and more regional chaos that grows into trade disruptions and wars

Every accusation is a confession, as they say. How can you say this with a straight face given the current situation in Iran lol? They keep pulling the same shit and NPCs keep licking the boots, it's insane...

> and project a presence of power to deter acts of terror/war

uh? That's literally what causes terror and wars lmao

> Trains take a long time to stop even at moderate commuter train speeds because they are so heavy

Mostly because metal wheels to metal rails contact offer very poor friction

There is a reason these people are paid good money for "responsible positions", they should be "responsible"... It shouldn't even matter why or who fucked up, you take the minister of transport, who's part of two major fuck ups by now, you fire him, make him ineligible to any kind of responsible position, and put him in house arrest for a year or two. That's like the whole fucking principle behind responsible positions. It seems like today it just means you have to go public every now and then to say "I claim full responsibility for the events" and just moves on as if you didn't kill 50+ people
When I sat in the back of a model 3 I thought it was a joke at first, I've never sat so low in a car, my knees were above my hips, comfort was subpar.

The thing about legality is that you kinda get to chose. In your case the companies' interests weight more than the people's interest.

For example in the US it's totally legal to spy on your employees with key loggers &co, in most of Europe it isn't

This Russian paranoia is more damaging than actual Russian operations at that point...

French riots? Russia

Spain train accident? Russia

Right wing party wins? Russia

Rainy weekend? Russia
