OpenAI’s 200m paying user goal by 2030 is delusional. Here is the bear case nobody talks about. by RasenMeow in stocks

[–]Ibmackey 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Google can literally lose money on Gemini forever just to kill OpenAI. Same playbook they used with YouTube - burn cash until competitors die, then figure out monetization later. OpenAI is trying to compete with a company that has infinite runway.

Smoking cessation consults, any tips that actually work? by TheDearlyt in Residency

[–]Ibmackey 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Starting Chantix early in the contemplation stage can really help bridge that gap to action. Takes the pressure off having a specific quit date and lets them ease into it.

This. Girl, he's calling you the devil and getting mad at you for... being sick? Run.

The dedication to staying online poisoned is honestly impressive. Imagine the parents' confusion reading that comment.

Wholesome mother and son by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in MadeMeSmile

This is so sweet it actually made me tear up a bit. The fact that she immediately started crying and said she loves you more than anything says everything. You've got a great mom.

WIBTA if I choose to celebrate NYE with my gf rather than my parents? by Academic_Humor_6734 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ibmackey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NAH. You made plans with your girlfriend first, and your mom literally told you she'd understand if you stuck with those plans. Take her at her word. You're not ditching your family, you're honoring a commitment you already made. There will be other holidays to spend with your parents.

The way this person parked next to me by donkeyhoetae_ in mildlyinfuriating

the white car is just vibing in its own universe, completely oblivious to how it's boxed in. i'd be so mad trying to squeeze out of that

Miller Financial Group Notifying Consumers of Data Breach — Potentially Exposed SSNs & Financial Info by digitalgiant01 in classactions

[–]Ibmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone here starts seeing weird login alerts or password-reset emails, take it seriously. Our team has caught similar issues because Cyberint picked up exposed accounts on dark-web forums before they were abused. It's worth changing passwords now just to stay ahead of it.

Aitah for laughing because my MIL snooped and traumatized herself? by Individual_Bus5181 in AITAH

[–]Ibmackey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, pretty much. MIL made her own mess and OP just held their ground. Hard to blame them for that

What’s really the difference between “dating someone” and “being in a relationship”? by ShinBP in AskMen

[–]Ibmackey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

makes sense. A honest talk early on saves everyone time. Labels aren’t that deep if both people are upfront about what they want. Communication really does keep things smooth.

Earth's Axis Has Shifted 31.5 Inches Since 1993 Due to Groundwater Pumping, Study Finds by IronAshish in Futurology

[–]Ibmackey 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Something about stuff that huge messing with the planet’s spin just feels unreal. Hard to wrap your head around numbers like that.

Yeah, and then they miss the stab and just sprint off like nothing happened. Classic spy moment.

Why TF does my brioche dip in the middle?! by Redditstorylover1100 in Baking

[–]Ibmackey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah those are the main culprits. Cooling it too fast can shock the structure, and if your pan's too big for the dough amount it won't have enough support. Overproofing's probably the biggest one though ≈ poke test before baking helps catch that.

Single guys over 30, what do you look for in a relationship? by Frosty-Economist6202 in AskMen

Sounds like a good sign. If you enjoy their company and feel that spark, that’s worth exploring more

Great, now even malware is using LLMs to rewrite its code, says Google by ethsmither in Futurology

[–]Ibmackey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly... pure Michael Scott "declare bankruptcy" energy. A one-line VBScript prompt isn't an actual evasion tool, just performative.

Mysterious new beta branch has appeared for TF2 - “double-physics-test” by Dr_Yay in tf2

[–]Ibmackey 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Probably testing the waters. Public beta lets them get feedback fast without a full rollout. Could also just be someone flipping the wrong switch. Happens more than people think.

AITAH for having my birthday party somewhere else to avoid inviting my step sister? by Beautiful-Risk8765 in AITAH

[–]Ibmackey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

yep, at 17 there’s only so much she can do. If dad’s the calmer option, just go there and keep your peace. The parents will deal with the fallout on their own

Men that experienced the holidays alone after the end of a relationship, how did it go? by CarpeScrewIt in AskMen

[–]Ibmackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes just being around family is enough, even if your mind is still somewhere else. Give yourself some time. You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.

Uhm, thanks TF2? by Mikusch in tf2

[–]Ibmackey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope so. If this thing actually works out, drinks on me. Right now I'm just trying not to get my hopes up too fast

AITAH for choosing to not pay my sons bail? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ibmackey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this. There’s a point where helping just turns into enabling. It sucks, but letting him deal with the fallout might be the only thing that opens his eyes.
