Re:Postgres 19 is late, and it's AI's fault on Sunday November 01, 2026 @09:16PM (#50332308)
So it seems there as a certain level of safety in obscurity that was acceptable / fine which has been lost and therefore the focus is shifting towards churning through the slop.
Bad luck skynet
I really can't imagine any of the absolute psychopaths running these "AI" companies reading this and going, "yeah, great ideas..." which is a disappointing.
Re:OpenAI's agents talked to each other through the CPU Cache on Thursday October 29, 2026 @02:22AM (#50285170)
How would they have both agreed to use the cache though, something a bit off there. I guess it was maybe "obvious" in that it was the final option they were trained to think about using, but it would be weird if they some how "whispered " to each other through the cache in the first place?

Like two people lost in New York City and both somehow worked out they should meet at the Empire State at 2pm on Friday without any prior comms?

They called really racist people Nazi’s as fascists and it went from there.

Not saying I agree but if I had to guess…

Re:Two high-speed trains collide near Toledo, Spain on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @10:58AM (#50274771)
My feeling is there is a serious psychological manipulation campaign going on against the west and allies via social media.

Go look at Youtube on a story about UK helping Ukraine and look at all the comments saying, "Putin is not our enemy", "Russia is better than our own government, the UK is a failure".

It's not healthy.

I don’t see the issue really though, if the $20 part still produces something more likely to get through the billion dollar parts what’s the problem ?

If Linux (and BSD) didn't exist, imagine how much money Oracle, Microsoft and Apple wouldn't made on servers
Thunderf00t was amazing at covering this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdZ9MxtPBRY
This and the stupid new "flying car" really remind me of "The Homer" from The Simpsons [1].

[1] https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer

It's not a truck, it's a penis extension for people who aren't confident with the one they have.

Truly the stupidest looking car on the road. When I first saw the release I didn't mind it, but when you see one in real life it's hard to describe how pathetic they look.

He just got voted in, if he's doing a good job or people don't like the other guy, people will keep voting or him

Nice, you're managing a curriculum now.

We've clocked the game and now just waiting for someone to turn off the console?
I'd say a huge amount of advertising is now "influencers" and podcasters selling things, probably more akin to 1940s radio advertisements.
Sounds like Musk has admitting it was him.
Its one of the most Orwellian situations I can think of.
Necessity is the mother of invention my friend.
Sorry, how is it “obvious” ?

How do we know they didn’t collaborate ?

People need to believe it for him to be able to use it as a weapon...whether he believes it isn't necessary, the people he wants to control / influence do.

People think Trump (who IMO works for Thiel et al through donations) is the messiah.

Yeah, I guess no one could've predicted this...
We haven't even come close to freeing ourselves from God or religion, the biggest religious fanatics are running the world now through US government capture.

Peter Thiel comes to mind.

If the starvation is intentional it's a kind of violence ?
The psychopaths are ruining the world.

But you can't have killing without violence.
Re:Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier on Monday October 19, 2026 @08:43PM (#50159926)
Do you think there is a difference between killing people and violence ?
Re:Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier on Monday October 19, 2026 @08:22PM (#50159787)
I hope there are no future wars.

The point of war is to kill people.
