So you talk about Depression 2, but do you have any idea of what could possibly be the spark? You compare it to Enron, but Enron got had because they got audited. The AI bubble seems unparalleled in creating fake money from nothing, is there any limit to how long they do it? Tether still exists

Also “tokens per watt per dollar” by god where are we. It’s like when Elon started to talk about “userminutes per tweetparsec per death threat” or whatever when he took over Twitter

Huh, I hope Satya asks Copilot how to solve this or they’re in trouble!

Well, Satoshi’s whitepaper is called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”, so it’s pretty obvious what the author(s) consider(s) its main contribution to be. Arguably, the concept of a blockchain wasn’t invented by Satoshi (the idea of a ledger using Merkle trees of hashes existed before), neither was proof-of-work (the idea of requiring computation as a cost of performing an action also existed, e.g. to prevent email spam). The novelty was combining all that to create a currency system and the implementation. And the motivation spilling throughout the paper is very much libertarian and goldbuggy.

I’m sorry but like why do you think Satoshi created Bitcoin, like what was the purpose of that paper?

Wait, does the Starlink internet suck as well? I mean, it has to have high latency, that much I’ve assumed, but other than that?

The market can remain irrational longer than a chud’s heart can remain functional

SpaceX must have discovered new physics that solves orbital heat management, because otherwise Musk and the stockholders are dumb.

Truly a conundrum worthy of the XXI century

and it will be trivially affordable to run them

ON WHAT HARDWARE BEN, DDR2 SCAVENGED FROM JUNKYARDS???

Harder than you think if you’re a cutting edge chud

Oh, the left doesn’t have a home for Bundy or other Christofascists

I’m willing to accept him if he converts to Communist Anarchism in his heart of hearts and writes a long treatsie on what he thinks that even is.

Is there a pivottoai that I missed that introduces this? At some point people just started saying “clawd” like it’s a real word and I have zero idea what it is, or if I even should know what it is.

EDIT: huh, yes I did: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/28/moltbot-clawdbot-an-expensive-and-insecure-ai-agent-that-doesnt-work/

At this point I’m starting the suspect that they were actually all produced in a lab somewhere on that island

He doesn’t even seem to grasp the concept that a machine needs to take input; none of his examples even consider that.

This is the fundamental mistake that students taking Intro to Computation Theory make and like the first step to teach them is to make them understand that P, NP, and other classes only make sense when you rigorously define the set of inputs and its encoding.

None of those words are in your favourite religious text of choice

I had to do a triple take on that “won’t deem anyone inferior” like what the fuck are you talking about. The core of conservatism is the belief in rigid hierarchies! Hierarchies have superiors and inferiors by definition!

Excellent BSky sneer about the preposterous “free AI training” the Brits came up with. 10/10, quality sneer.

I especially love the third task because that’s exactly the kind of shit you get thrown on your plate in the field as a SWE.

There’s been some work an old member of our team did a year ago. No one remembers what it was, but it is important. Please do something.

That’s almost exactly one of the first tasks I got as an intern when I was starting out. THIS is what they are saying LLMs are going to replace.

Vibe coding is of course a less than optimal process for the kind of tasks you’ve specified here

Oh no, tasks that have actual concrete outcomes and requirements! Vibe coders biggest nemesis!

I saw people mentioning “Gas Town” like it’s a well-known meme and every time I searched it the top result was the GAS coin and I was like what’s going on, why is everyone talking about a meme coin, what’s even the root that is being memecoined here.

Well now I know and I need to puke, thx David, I love/hate you
