This is basically Dead Internet Theory happening for real but in a weird creepy dystopian black mirror style way.

Those robots are complete vaporware. I would predict we’re about to see whole lot of robot hype video clips on twitter and tiktok very soon. We’re going to see his fake “robot” playing soccer, making breakfast, juggling, and whatever. I’m sure they’ll be all ai generated. There will be paid tesla influencers who already bought cybertruck hyping up this non existent robots very soon. Elon will tout millions of robots sold but in reality they were all sold to spacex and those robots will be sitting in a hanger somewhere. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.

I’m pretty sure if anyone created a website that generated CSAM they’d be in jail by now. Just because it’s Elon Musk doing it, authorities are fine with it? At one time law enforcement would make an effort put up a facade of justice system that’s equal to everyone. This is how the masses would not rise up and dethrone the status quo. Anyone remember Martha Stewart going to jail for insider trading?

Isn’t there Apple app store and Google play store policies that says this is not allowed? How come the app is still available on those mobile platforms? Where are EU regulators doing? No fines? Nothing?

We’ve basically reached a point where billionaires are publicly mocking and daring the rest of us to react. Do these accelerationist billionaires really think they’ll come out ahead when the masses burn everything to the ground?

Whenever someone brings God or any other omnipotent supernatural being into the realm of reality and try to have a semblance of a logical reasoning, everything just falls apart and stops making sense.

It is a common belief among evangelicals that the universe and everything in it was created 6000 years ago. Naturally you can tell them that it can’t be right because we’ve found dinosaur bones hundreds of millions of years old. Common response to that is God buried those fake bones to test your faith. On the surface it makes sense because of course omnipotent being can create anything it wants. However once you dig slightly deeper the entire premise turns into a complete farce. You say to yourself, why not 1000 years instead of 6000? Why not 100 years? Why not five years or even five days? Five minutes? Yes, it’s entirely possible for omnipotent being to have created the entire universe five minutes ago put fake memory into everyone and we won’t know it. You can basically just make up stuff and that makes just as much sense.

My point is once entertain the existence of God then anything and everything is possible to the point where having an intellectually honest conversation no longer matters. To me this is a mathematical equivalent of dividing by zero. This is why I believe science and religion are diametrically opposing beliefs that cannot be bridged.

I worked retail for many years so… yeah.

Short answer, no. I know several people that are narcissists and they don’t get better over time. In fact I think they’ve gotten lot worse. If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist and perhaps thinking this person may get better over time, I have a bad news for you. No. Most definitely won’t. No amount of therapy will “fix” narcissism because for any behavioral therapy to work the person first has to admit they have a problem and want to get better. Narcissists are simply incapable of doing just that. Only solution is to remove narcissist from your life. Do it as soon as possible. Yes, I’m speaking from first hand experience.

This is really bad. You need to have emergency service vehicles able to move around the city. Blocking road like that could mean life or death for some. Public road isn’t some playground for doing beta testing. Waymo needs to be heavily fined for putting public at risk.

Damn. This sucks. I’ve been buying Crucial ram sticks as long as I can remember. They’ve been the reliable go to brand for me. First it was EVGA and now Crucial. How depressing.

Memory prices are crazy. I bought 96GB of DDR5 6400Mhz sticks for $320 back in February. Now it’s $750.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Last few words are almost like they’re thumbing the nose of one specific person.

I think this means Intel’s Arc GPUs are dead. $5 Billion seems like a small price to pay for NVIDIA to remove a potential future competitor off the market.

We really need to change the mindset about what the internet experience should be. I think everyone got too used to the idea of centralized services like Google search, Github, Discord, Twitter, reddit, and etc. and that didn’t turn out well. We need to go back to federated protocol based system instead. Let’s go back to the decentralized federated architecture of email, web, irc where no one corporate entity is the sole owner of said service. I think Lemmy and Mastodon are good start but we have to start replace things like Google search, Github, and Discord with decentralized counterparts. We have to learn from our past mistakes and start reconstructing a better internet infrastructure one piece at a time. It will take lot of effort and patience but it’s really the only way out of the mess we put ourselves into by being addicted to simplicity of centralized corporate controlled systems.

What’s your opinion on using 8K TV as a monitor?

What a disappointing week. I was looking to replace my five year old iPhone with an android phone and now I’m just stumped. Pixel 10 looked pretty good but then this sudden verification requirement news hit. Both platform are now equally crap. The hell with both of these shitty companies. Maybe I’ll go full retro and get a dumb phone instead.

I just find this odd. They’re working for a large corporation and demanding that it should have some moral standards? Are they not self aware? Corporations exist to make money without consideration for pesky things like ethics. That’s like working at a steak restaurant and then suddenly making a big fuss about how killing animals is bad.

This sort of thing is reason why I stopped paying attention to Louis Rossman. I guess when someone lives inside a social media bubble for so long their reality gets warped enough to think changing a profile picture is the way to make a difference in the world.

Sam Altman has gone into PR and hype overdrive lately. He is practically everywhere trying to distract the media from seeing the truth about LLM. GPT-5 has basically proved that we’ve hit a wall and the belief that LLM will just scale linearly with amount of training data is false. He knows AI bubble is bursting and he is scared.

Louisiana has been doing this for decades. It’s the same old story of large corporations getting massive tax breaks while little guys gets screwed over.
