>Their church/religious attendance is up

This was debunked, at least in the UK. Not sure about the US but I'll bet it's the same sham (church sponsored) statistics.

I think more of each generation is coming to realise that religion is an outmoded parasite.


The church certainly is, but religion isn't and will never be.

At this point I don't see any difference between the two. Modern religions are shaped (warped, really) by the larger organizations that control them.

Sure, the concept of "spiritual/non-scientific belief" isn't a parasite in and of itself, but even if the existing organized religions ceased to hold their sway, and people treated religion as a personal thing without centralized authorities, I still don't see an end to (for example) people trying to get their religious beliefs enshrined in law. That's parasite behavior.


Siri/Alexa/gemini are severely limited in what they can do/access because they wanna protect the brand.

Yeah! And what if Samsung put a bug in the silicon that gives them access to all your stuff without you ever knowing!

Or the CIA has set up inside your closet with a listening device!


But those are much more hypothetical. Telegram admins and anyone who bribes or hacks them do have access to your messages.

I find that it's usually management that ask for such things "because AI".

I mean using AI is a great way to interpret a query, determine if a helper script already exists to satisfy it, if not invoke a subagent to write a new script.

Problem with your "script" approach is how does that satisfy unknown/general queries? What if for one run you want to modify the behavior of the script?


>man tool | grep "thing I care about"

Isn't the same true of filtering tools available thru mcp?

The mcp argument to me really seems like people arguing about tabs and spaces. It's all whitespace my friends.


This isn't an AI problem...

Clickbait headline.


Indeed, the problem is that people tell lies on the internet. We need to do something about that, because it's interfering with our super-intelligent AI models. /s

Well supporting small artists instead of huge celebrities worth almost a billion dollars or more is a start (not for you, for everyone).

The one you replied to may do so. I certainly listen more to smallish artists than I listen to big.

Yeah but like 10x the population, 10x the GDP, etc.

You're saying they laid down rail in the US from end to end during wild West times but modern infrastructure can't be built to the same scale even with mechanisation?

Lmao sounds like the UK. It does make sense tho, the world is now filled with middlemen and getting any job done costs 10x because of parasites.


> You're saying they laid down rail in the US from end to end during wild West times

At a time when labor was dirt cheap and safety regulations were non-existent.

The railroads specifically used Chinese laborers who were treated, and paid, like shit.


And also a time when people were laying down ties with their hands and a hammer.

This isn’t a labor issue it’s purely political. Some people get rich from the status quo and bribe politicians to prevent competition. America is increasingly corrupt, particularly since citizens united and accelerating under the current admin


Exactly, but watch people leap into to defend how brilliant he supposedly was.


There’s no contradiction here. Jobs’ point was about the MAIN input method. A touchscreen that requires a stylus as main input method still is a terrible idea. The Apple Pencil is meant for alternative and creative input, something you can’t do well with your fingers.

Please, leave that reddit-esque “iSheep”-type of comment out of here.


I see no contradiction.


So we can breed dogs for size, for behaviours like retrieving or guarding, but magically we can't breed for aggression like pit bulls have?

Lmao.


We can actually bread dogs to get them physical attributes but I’ve never seen dog races that were natural home guardian. Pitt bull sure aren’t.

Aggressivity isn’t instinctive, it’s learnt through experience or rather lack of.

Lmao xd lol wtf.


Ehehe you're so mad.

Well-raised pits aren't aggressive. They used to be recommended to watch babies.

"Lmao."


The nanny-dog thing is a myth made up by a breeder and shared through basically Facebook chain letters. There is no historical basis that pits ever were recommended to watch babies.
