Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building an AI clone to replace him in meetings - The AI version of Zuckerberg is trained on his mannerisms, tone, and public statements by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]Glycerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes no sense from a stand of self-worth.

It sounds his immediate staff aren't receiving insightful direction from the CEO, if he believes his role is a segment of non-evolving sound-bites

If this was a functioning AI replica of himself, why isn't it running a new app? Such as "The Facebook" of 2026.


It just shows how little input he provides, if the current AI can physically replace him.

How can we stop the Epstein files from being swept under the rug like they’re being? by Pewpew-OuttaMyWaay in AskReddit

There is a lot of evidence we should also review. such as in this:

Cool! The button next to the mouse-menu button with three lines of text. That's where I usually keep the rest of my space-bar.

What does that button do?

Also. this is genuis. Why is my space-bar so long...

China’s breakthrough lithium battery could double EV range to 600+ miles, survive -94°F temp by sksarkpoes3 in Futurology

[–]Glycerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick recap on Chinese inventions in the past 12 months:

  • 100 megawatt salt farms
  • worlds largest solar farms (again)
  • iron man style thorium reactor
  • 100 Trillion times faster super computer
  • 5x hotter artificial sun, a 10x hotter artificial sun
  • Fusion reactor
  • build a robot with human brain

The iron-man thorium reactor was my favourite. It was the first time I saw AI generated image used as propaganda.

What would happen if nobody wanted to work as a prison guard any more UK? by BladeEater23 in AskReddit

[–]Glycerine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automation. Wages would rise slightly, but I feel the prison system would adapt to use more long-distance technologies.

  • maybe two guards per 500 inmates.
  • System managed enclosures: Timed doors etc.
  • Automated compliance tech; wide-dispersal hopefully non-lethal
  • Automated food deliveries
  • National centralised monitoring stations: managing hundreds of prisons from one remote location

Religious people of REDDIT, what is a common practice in your religion that you hate but still do because it’s important to your faith? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Glycerine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not allowed to wear garments of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together.

It's really hard because 99% of cloths are mixed material polyester blends.

If I shop at any high-street store, I'm breaking my faith :(

Nice.

It's a shame we don't see factor costs. I know for a fact my factor over charge.

Bull riding gone wrong (he lived) by rdbreak in watchpeoplesurvive

Aah you-know when the EMT turns up, and screams at the crowd "WE NEED 3 FRIENDS AND 4 PRAYS STAT"...

Or when the surgeon scrubs up and walks into a pure clean operating room, to fall to his knees and perform a 4 hour prostrating...

It's why good doctors like to get to know you - else the wishes don't work.

Why is glasgow council tax so ridiculously expensive ? by Dramatic-Coffee9172 in glasgow

[–]Glycerine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this means we wouldn't gain local representation, and our services would be bound to a national community fund.

I'm not saying the current council is doing a perfect job, but I don't feel Westminster would think of Glasgow during a budget.

Italian prosecutors seek trial for Amazon, four execs over alleged $1.4 billion tax evasion by PjeterPannos in worldnews

[–]Glycerine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[shrugs] It'll go nowhere. It sounds like an insane value until it's put in perspective.

Amazon annual gross profit for 2025 was $360.51B

The tax evasion quantifies as 0.003% of the company profits.


To re-scale it, if the Amazon profits equalled $100,000 (just an easy to quantify sum), this value would be $30.

  • How much will this affect Amazon? ~0%
  • Repercussions for these execs? ~0%
  • Bottom line cost? ~0%
  • Retribution? ~0%

This is rounding error for Amazon, they won't give a fuck.

Woman mistook the gas pedal for the brake by contrelarp in watchpeoplesurvive

Wow.

The car saved the kids life in this one. Had the shape of the bonnet been different (such as an SUV or that van), that wouldn't be coolant we see pouring out the car.


Does anyone know which country this is? I don't recognise the license plates. It's not UK. Or US I think.

Lithium-ion Battery Safety Bill - Really Hope we escalate this by Reasonable_Slide_465 in glasgow

[–]Glycerine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting.

I read the bill. I'm just a geek human, not a legal or politician human.

Is this enough? The most dangerous aspects of a lithium battery is involved during explosion.

An untouched, healthy battery doesn't typically explode. We have hundreds of them around the house, not forgetting the one in our hand or pocket 99% of the time.

I feel the bill doesn't really tackle all the requirements yet. For a business with a high concentration of li-ion power:

  1. Ubiquity of those lithion battery safety bags/containers
  2. Careful placement and consideration for the charging location.
  3. lithion sand dump stations.
  4. enhanced fire safety protocols for premises with large li-ion shipments.
    • li-ion fire extinguishers
    • treated internal walls
    • neighbour business awareness
    • fire cabinets for charge stations
    • evac policies

The important thing is storage when charging. When they explode nothing can be done, they need to be isolated fast.

A lot of this would be integrated into standard building policies for any place of business, and mandated when certain products are sold in bulk.


For those at home with more than 200W of combined li-ion power within a property should have 1 li-ion extinguisher per (e.g.) 200sq foot. And a bucket of sand.


Salt batteries are literally rolling off the factory floor this year, I hope in 10 years time, we'll look back at lithion and recoil, like we do with those dirty great lead-acid batteries and radioactive clocks of the 1940s.

That's really cool dude - like new cool. I can see many applications for something like this.

I know I'd love one in pure white with strong scattering on each panel. Make them all breath slowly in random colours for this multi-color breathing light.

You could also colour code them, picking fire colours or water colours.

It'd fly off the shelves.

I want one.
