I expect the last step in that is you slapping him?

The billionaire initiation ritual is that scene from Kingsman where

spoiler for a 11yo movie I guessthey ask him to kill his dog but instead of a dog it's a literal child that was performing forced labour for the last year and just wants to go home to its parents, and the bullets are very much live

It's extremely annoying everywhere. GitHub's updates were about AI for so fucking long that I stopped reading them, which means I now miss actually useful stuff until someone informs me of it months later.

For example, did you know GitHub Actions now has really good free ARM runners? It's amazing! I love it! Shame GitHub only bother's to tell me about their revolutionary features of "please spam me with useless PRs" and... make a pong game? What? Why would I want this?

hot AI girls are on track to remove a lot of men from the mating pool.

Wasn't the "problem" that there's too many men in the mating pool and women are "alphamaxxing" or whatever the fuck to get the highest quality dick? Shouldn't this be a good thing for incels like Hanania.

Missed opportunity to call it "Live Free or Fail Hard"

This is such a wild example to me because sitting at beach is extremely boring and takes forever whereas doing calculus is at least engaging so time flies reasonably quick.

Like when I think what takes the longest in my life I don't think "those times when I'm actively solving problems", I think "those times I sit in a waiting room at the doctors with nothing to do" or "commuting, ditto".

That's wrong on both counts.

The complaints about NFTs were also that they were unethical - consumed a shitton of electricity for no reason, sustained themselves mostly by scams and rugpulls. The chief use case of crypto has always been crime and money laundering.

The complaints about AI are that it fucking sucks and results in a truly insane waste of resources towards something that doesn't solve literally any problems, like NFTs squared. The unethical aspect of it all is just a cherry on top that makes using LLMs a no-go even if it happened to kinda work for your problem.

What’s the standard advice to give them?

It's unfortunately illegal for me to answer this question earnestly

Is this generated by a Markov chain? It's incoherent, but in a kinda amusing way?

Is this you, disc horse bot?

It's a stupid thing that

  • exists only in English as far as I know, every other language puts it after the number,
  • is not used consistently (since you still write 25¢ and not ¢25),
  • doesn't follow the way you read it (it's "five dollars" not "dollar five").

It's one of those places where yes, the spelling rules say otherwise, but the rule is fucking stupid so anarchy it is.

I'm more irked by "less", the noun there is dollars so it should be "fewer"...

I saw glimpses of someone playing some weird shit on a mobile phone, so I texted my bff group chat that it looks like someone's playing a pokemon game but it's anime girls racing around a track or something, but it was 18:30 in public transit, hard day at work, really hot, so I was like probably I'm hallucinating something

Then the responses I got were like "ye it's probably this very popular Umami Horny Derby game where you date horse waifus, everyone's been playing it for weeks" and I haven't been more depressed in ages
