This is incredible.

I wish all captchas were like this. A lot more fun!

Honestly feels like a dream job. Imagine your ancestors smiling down on you if you are from Britain or just human.

I’d say we are at the peak of inflated expectations, exactly where they want things to be for the IPOs as they unload their bags on the public. There will be an absolutely massive crash that will destroy the stock market, you’ll finally be able to buy ram and a hard drive again, and then AI will really take your job in the plateau of productivity that comes much later.

New comment by Mistletoe in "We Need VAT and UBI"

Mistletoe — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 13:01:09 +0000

I think UBI is necessary but it’s about where you get it. Just making up and printing money for it is like when I was a kid and thought that you could just write checks and create money. We need to move money from the ultra wealthy and corporations to UBI. It’s actually astounding Americans repeatedly vote for the exact opposite to happen. Maybe the midterms can be a turning point.

Feels like these IPOs are thankfully the top coming before the AI crash and we get back to the real world.

New comment by Mistletoe in "Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang"

Mistletoe — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 05:11:42 +0000

I have no doubt that when our AI is advanced enough it will tell us we are not “really” conscious, that there’s no way our feeble organic brains could be. We are just on the flip side of that self-centered basis right now.

Surely Chipotle having a cloud AI budget signals something, I’m not sure what.

New comment by Mistletoe in "Creatine raises brain energy levels and slows cognitive decline: study"

Mistletoe — Sun, 31 May 2026 18:22:42 +0000

I keep a spreadsheet about my health, blood work, any supplements I take, how they make me feel etc. The summary would be that I take zero supplements now haha. I have tried so so many.

I think I do but I guess I could try.

New comment by Mistletoe in "Creatine raise brain energy levels and slow Alzheimer's cognitive decline by 30%"

Mistletoe — Sun, 31 May 2026 17:31:22 +0000

I feel like it makes me feel like crap and my brain weird every time I try it and searching my spreadsheet shows this effect many times when I forget and read something like the above article and try it again. Anyone else feel like this?

So what you are saying is “this time it’s different”. That’s a dangerous thought to have.

The lesson I learn repeatedly on the internet is that most people don’t have a single clue what they are talking about.

It feels like maybe the wheels are starting to fall off the AI hype train. I expect complete collapse once people start figuring out that the numbers on all this don’t make sense. I’m looking for investment portfolios that will weather that storm. If you are reading this and have a similar curiosity, this is a great place to start.

I’m so relieved to see this is the top comment. I was afraid I was going to see HN people saying how great this monstrosity looks.

Mistletoe — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:22:58 +0000

I hope there is some plan to thwart this, as New Orleans is my favorite city on Earth. Truly unique culture and history against the homogenization and suburbanization of America. If you’ve never visited, please go.

Did you get a second sleep study after your breathing changes to confirm it fixed it?

Almost every single person’s retirement has exposure to this unless they have some sort of Bitcoin/gold/small cap value type portfolio.
