This is really sad. Me and my girlfriend at the time watched all of our movies off of a Pi 1 and a USB hard drive when it came out. Those days are long gone.

Reading it, I can't help but feel he's being paid to write this. Or maybe he hopes to be paid. The language he uses makes him sound like he's fawning over the lost days of his childhood. Pardon me for being skeptical, but a trillion dollar company running a net-loss is hoping to IPO, and needs to sway public opinion by any means necessary. I would imagine that no dirty marketing scheme is off of the table, even from the self-proclaimed "good guys".

You're being sarcastic, but I would like a technical explanation of why this would not work.

AGI is the "AI nuke" in this metaphor.

And happiness is restraint.

That would be like trying to get every country to agree to give up nukes.

Don't you realize that by using Codex or Claude, you are providing data to them that they will also use in an attempt to replace you?

> This money being poured is likely to end up being a huge boon for a lot of economic sectors

The evidence coming out is saying otherwise.

I see this false equivalency argument everywhere. Just because one revolution had one effect does not mean they'll all be the same.

Or you could use AI to explain to you how you missed the point.

What are you trying to say? That AI benefited the students because they skipped their homework?

New comment by honeycrispy in "At least 25 Flock cameras have been destroyed in five states since April 2025"

honeycrispy — Sun, 17 May 2026 17:43:57 +0000

Good. I generally believe in following the law within limits, and a surveillance state is outside of those limits. I don't care about the "good" these cameras provide, because they're neglecting the very real dangers of living in a surveillance state.

The polarizing vaccine mandate is one such example of alignment.

Me. I love the experience of getting out of the house. Also, online shopping is an extortionist on certain items. There are so many things that are 1/4 the price in a physical store than they are online due to shipping and logistics.

That's interesting. I've been using Zed for over a year. I've had one or two crashes over that year, which is very stable for using it all day every day.

Thank you for bringing back a piece of my childhood!

I think you're talking about the summer resort games, which are also my favorite.

You can play here: https://mattbruv.github.io/ccsr/

I don't know if it's nostalgia or what, but I still have fun playing it. Which can't be said for a lot of games.

I am beginning to suspect that Anthropic may not be as ethical as they purport themselves to be.

New comment by honeycrispy in "Meta to cut 10% of jobs"

honeycrispy — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 20:22:48 +0000

It's the housing prices and the affordability of life in general. We are all debt slaves now. I am 100% using 2020 as an excuse because it broke the market and sent housing prices up 50%+ in 6 months.

The fact that we are entertaining 50 year mortgages as a "solution" further adds insult to injury.

Nobody talks about how the "cure" was worse than the disease in 2020. Happiness matters and is worth dying for.
