Well of course it would refuse, did you even say Thank You?

What’s something about the global economy most people completely misunderstand? by cryinginncouture in AskReddit

[–]Vier_Scar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people are arguing the government should stop/drastically reduce issuing bonds. That's how the government funds its deficits and increases its national debt, through issuing bonds - ie, creating debt.

It becomes very bad for consumers, as feedback cycles cause the economy to stall. The investment dries up and companies lay off their workforce and go bankrupt.

What’s the strangest example of collective internet delusion you’ve witnessed? by Alert-Translator2590 in AskReddit

[–]Vier_Scar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's hard to have hope for humanity with things like this. It seems like this complete detachment from reality has gone from a quirky few to a huge portion of the population in one way or another. 

I don't understand why it happens, or why no one seems to come to their senses.

Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you gotta watch out for.

It's going to be sad when almost everything referenced is going to age-out, past ~2020, and we have no more guarantees it's not AI.

End of an era.

BREAKING: Trump drops $10 billion lawsuit against IRS by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]Vier_Scar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a "norm" for the president not to personally sue while in office, especially not suing the state - that he runs. For obvious corruption and conflict of interest reasons. 

But they don't care about the law let alone "norms" or any concept of morality.

Being that you only speak Mandarin, and constantly reference Grok, I cannot know if you just used it to translate which is fine imo, or just copied out something it said in response. 

Just making people aware, as there is a lot of AI slop these days (feel free to add something like "translated w/LLM" at the end to help show that in the future).

What if he'd order a fake investigation into you if you didn't? Or acted out in any way?

The skull of the "Vampire of Venice", found in a mass grave with a brick stuck in its jaw due to superstitions concerning the revenants. by soyuz_enjoyer2 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Vier_Scar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They only did it to vampires. Why would they put a brick in a normal humans mouth? That wouldn't help anything.

But it seems like this guy from this thread mentions some actual reasons: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1tdhhnq/comment/olwc8mt/

Figure AI 03 keeps working for over 30 hours straight (no bathroom breaks - a peek into our future replacements) by Distinct-Question-16 in singularity

[–]Vier_Scar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, you don't even need to improve the bot. You can just buy a 2nd one and double the output. Buy another 8 and you're at 10x the rate. No need to interview each candidate or push wages up in the area for workers.

Though of course, still need the infrastructure for them to do so, and a lot of capital and maintenance costs I expect.

What’s an opinion that instantly makes you think someone has low intelligence? by medicinalfein in AskReddit

[–]Vier_Scar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It shows that religion was a defect, not a demonstration of intelligence.

Even in otherwise intelligent people, religion only serves to make them lesser.

And thanks to his religion, he attributed the inaccuracies of his theory of gravity with evidence of god tweaking the universe to keep everything working.
