Real AI vs Altman’s AI
This is pure fraud. Computers have been optimizing routes for 60 fucking years, long before the current generation of “creative” AI. The traveling salesman problem has always been a major part of computer science, a major force in developing PREDICTIVE big data, and it was mostly solved in the ’50s. Here’s a 1969 book on…

Massive and instant
The academic side of social science has not produced any good knowledge in at least 100 years. It produces lots of evil (training CIA torturers, assisting NSA surveillers) but mostly churns out trivial and blatantly wrong nonsense. A fine example of the latter is circulating this week. Some “scientist” has declared that most people don’t…

This is crazy
Both “parties” have fallen into total personality cults. Each side has several credible opponents who can make valid arguments against the Lord Of The Cult. But the opponents never oppose. In real competition, product brands or church denominations or political parties offer SOMETHING DIFFERENT. There is always a dominant brand. Each non-dominant brand offers a…

WTF is he thinking?
DeSantis starts his campaign with a magnificent bit of political brilliance: “I’m better than Trump because I can serve two terms and Trump can only serve one.” Yessir, way to distinguish your unique brand! Every citizen over 35 is better than Trump for this reason. In reality he has an ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE QUALIFICATION. Unlike ALL…

Good news for nukes
Seen at ZeroHedge. Finland has just completed a new nuclear plant, which will help toward REAL energy independence. Poland secured $4 billion in loans from AMERICAN BANKS to help build 20 small modular reactors across the country by 2029. That’s the best and weirdest news. Best: Modular reactors are FINALLY achieving real production after 20…

Bright idea!
News or something: Bud Light’s vice president said she wanted to update its ‘fratty’ branding with ‘inclusivity’ days before Dylan Mulvaney’s partnership was unveiled. Hey guys! I’ve got the best idea in history! Let’s aim all of our ads solely at a dozen super-rich super-hoitytoity OCD Vegans who would never never never condescend to drink…

Stupidest game
Ordinary people solve problems all the time, in life and in work. Politicians make problems, and when they’re not making problems they write stupid stageplays that look like solving problems. This one is a very old Repooflican game. “President Biden is prioritizing politics over his own people,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said at a signing…

Maybe he’s just dumb too.
Is Taibbi also dumb like Craig Wright? I doubt it. Taibbi is trying to expose internal propaganda, which he “believes” to be relatively new. = = = = = START QUOTE: Worse, messages from these institutions are parroted more or less automatically by our corporate press, which has decided that instead of a network of…

Another victory for coal
This demonic move wasn’t well publicized. I hadn’t read about it until today. The demon states are already banning natural gas appliances in new construction, and the feds are getting ready to do the same. They’re using an insane tiny pseudo-“correlation” with asthma, based on one small “study”, to “justify” the ban. THESE ARE THE…

Stupid distraction
Several state governments have banned TikTok on government-owned computers, and there’s a movement to ban TikTok altogether. Why? Because TikTok gives info about the user to the Chinese government. STOP AND THINK, IDIOTS. How can the Chinese government USE your info? It can’t. China kills and tortures its own people, not ours. China has no…

WWJD?
This week I’ve been quoting Duane Jones’s 1955 book on marketing and business practices. What would Jones say about Bitcoin and Metaverse and NFT? Facebook is primarily an advertising agency, so it certainly fits inside the topic. Jones couldn’t have imagined such MAGNIFICENT STUPIDITY. He worked in a period (1930-1960) when businesses functioned on PROFIT,…

RTFM, idiot.
In Kirn’s continuing discussion of misdefinition, one commenter says: Half-seriously just waiting at this point for the Regime to redefine election victory: “Ballot totals are only part of the story. To truly understand who won an election, we need to take a holistic look at a number of variables…” That’s not a wild ironic redefinition,…

Irresistible attraction
I’ve been hammering on the strange shibboleth of bitcoin. Influencers who are realistic and skeptical about most topics are selling bitcoin. Influencers who are realistic and skeptical about bitcoin are utterly insane about other topics. At the corporate level this balance doesn’t apply. Nearly all corporations have tried to get on the bitcoin train at…

NO! THAT’S NOT THE FUCKING POINT!
Cited by Batya: “The most reliable cure for confirmation bias is interaction with people who don’t share your beliefs. They confront you with counterevidence and counterargument.” NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. This is the same stupid myth as “robust debate” or “academic freedom”. Interaction is the solution, but CONFRONTATION is NOT part of the solution.…

If this isn’t enough….
I’ve been saying from the fucking start that fucking Bitcoin is a creation of NSA to serve Deepstate’s fucking purposes. If the last 10 fucking years of constant daily fucking proofs didn’t convince you yet, how about this? Weaponry and cyberwar: How Bitcoin funds anti-Russia efforts in Ukraine Enough for you? No, obviously not. You’re…
