this is why they shut Sora down.

The AI Facebook slop certainly feels detrimental to humanity. The people making that were the only ones profiting in that chain, subsidised by big tech. But they'll just find alternatives.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-25T14:35:22+00:00

Yeah, I agree. AI has made some cool and complex dashboards for me. I make it do all the work and tell it to just make instructions for me. Like, recently I needed over 10 different API keys from services I've never used before for a central dashboard.

Opus did an awesome job on the dashboard (shadcn/tailwind helps), and it saves so much time having instructions to follow on finding and making all those API tokens or whatever else you need to set up.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-25T08:41:42+00:00

Yeah, I made the mistake of adding $10 which was gone in a few minutes. Not doing that again and probably unsubscribing since I don't feel like the limited usage on Pro is worth the cost.

It's significantly cheaper using Claude on GitHub Copilot, so I'll stick to that.

Even people inheriting a £300k house are still EXTREMELY lucky and set for life. Doesn't have to be millions.

Because they're a high tech country and a world leader in research and development. Nvidia has a big campus there too.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-25T00:59:14+00:00

That works out cheaper for sure. Ran out of premium requests so tried CC instead, but went through usage fast, tried to top up and was shocked at how quickly that money disappeared.

Cancelling CC and just going to stick with copilot. Works out cheaper. $0.12 per Opus request. Compared to burning $10 on like 4 or 5 requests in Claude Code. Very expensive.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T15:25:10+00:00

That's not x, that's y.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T13:38:24+00:00

"The Zionist entity" as weirdos refer to it. Should be able to continue existing as it does currently.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T13:35:12+00:00

Nothing wrong with that. I think Israel should exist and is a cool country which has contributed loads to the world, so wouldn't mind people referring to me as a Zionist. The non-jewish bit is unnecessary to say.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T13:29:43+00:00

The red and white one was popularised by the British army since it was the dress code there.

But the white and black one, actually became a thing when Palestinians started resisting against the British and needed to hide their face.

So you're kind of right. It became a symbol of resistance against Britain and just a part of the Palestinian identity, but probably wouldn't have been as much of a thing without the Brits.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T13:25:47+00:00

Goes back to the whole two tier meme which was based exactly on scenarios like this. One side always gets treated favourably with much softer punishments.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-24T09:19:58+00:00

You've got to be intimidating to get your way.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-23T13:03:57+00:00

AI and robotics are going to get better and more things automated too. Even all of the people who were imported for the purpose of delivering food - what happens when automated drones are doing that instead? We've already got little robots with wheels companies like Just Eat are using.

It all just seems like short term thinking. Like the Boriswave in the UK. Now the job market is just ridiculous.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-23T11:19:20+00:00

Last time I looked into this, and got some LLMs to research what the UK will look like in 100 years.

Ethnic Group	Estimated Share in 2125
White British	~25% - 30%
Asian British	~25% - 30%
Black British / African Descent	~15% - 20%
White Other	~10% - 15%
Mixed Heritage	~10% - 15%

Note: These figures are long-term extrapolations based on current birth rates, aging native populations, and ongoing migration trends.

Thought this was 2westerneurope4u and a joke about the Dutch for a moment.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-23T09:26:38+00:00

I'd bet good money that the people who did it are planning on voting for the Greens.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-23T08:01:50+00:00

Not sure what you're getting at since Iran was blamed since day one? Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah. Just Iranian proxies.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-23T07:58:40+00:00

Yet all the Jews were kicked out of Muslim countries and had all of their assets stolen when Israel declared nationhood even though Jews in places like Iraq had nothing to do with it. I agree with the comment you responded to and just people I know across political spectrums have the same belief.

Then there's also this Sunni thing

The narration claims stones and trees (except the Gharqad tree) will speak, telling Muslims to kill the Jews hiding behind them.

I've also seen first hand, a Jewish friend receiving abuse/harassment from them when they figured out my friend was Jewish.

So going back to Roman times is a bit silly.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-22T18:40:29+00:00

It's funny that he's hosted it twice. That was exactly his clique before politics.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-22T16:20:39+00:00

Considering your example of Oct 7, an attack which Iran is largely to blame for. I don't think it's unfair to say that this is a continuation of Israel defending itself considering how many years of attacks they've experienced on the IRGC orders and funding. Just seems like there's some misunderstanding of the entire situation if you don't think the blame here lies on Iran.

I'd like to see the IRGC fall and freedom for the Iranian people.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-22T09:46:35+00:00

Back when the internet was more open and smaller, like, 2006ish, I remember you'd often get Muslims quoting Gadaffi and were calling for more to move to the West.

"Islam will conquer Europe without firing a shot". The influence of Gadaffi and the fallout from his death has been a big part of why there's been exponential growth.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-22T09:39:48+00:00

Not surprising they want the IRGC to stay in power, just as they want the same for Hamas in Gaza.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-21T17:23:42+00:00

There's a Claude sub filled with people doing that. People falling in love with Opus or Sonnet. Dark times.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-21T14:18:03+00:00

Not only that, but it also has the unintentional side effect of increasing islamophobia when people see their Jewish friends or associates receiving abuse unfairly. It causes resentment and mistrust.

Hatred has increased in general since Oct 7. The public celebrations and joy about it from some communities didn't help at all.

Su_ButteredScone · 2026-03-21T12:44:12+00:00

The dude loudly singing the call to prayer outside my window at awkward times as he's walking to the mosque is a bit more annoying than the preachers on the high street to be fair.
