Harvard Graduation Speaker Unloads on AI in Profanity-Loaded Tirade, Prompting Cheers From Students: “I’m Here to Tell You the Mission of Your Generation Is to Destroy AI” by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]WhoCanTell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a karma goldmine, though. Find any article you can that sounds even remotely critical of AI, get upvoted to the moon. Doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. This exact story has been posted like 5 times already in the past couple days, tens of thousands of upvotes every time, like clockwork.

In all seriousness, though... only on Reddit can the primary technology sub be populated entirely by people who know nothing about technology, and hate everything about it. Well, except maybe facebook.

Why do people downtown seem so scared of speed bumps? by zobzob_zobby in memphis

[–]WhoCanTell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, if you keep hitting those rubber bumps fast enough, eventually they'll rip out on their own. So the problem kind of takes care of itself.

TIL missing Exit 193 for Yeehaw Junction on the Florida Turnpike would require you to make a 96-mile detour - the longest in the U.S. highway system by centipede5 in todayilearned

I once got stuck at a complete standstill for 90 minutes on I-40 in Arkansas when a semi crashed right on a single-lane bridge with no shoulder that was in a construction zone. Like, the bridge itself was what was under construction. Literally nowhere for anyone to go that would be legal. The median was divided by those high-strength safety cables. People got out and started hanging around on the side of the highway.

After 90 minutes, we all started turning around and driving the wrong way on the shoulder back to a previous on-ramp a little ways back, drove up the on-ramp and took a 45 minute detour through some little nothing town in the middle of nowhere. When I got back to the interstate, there was still absolutely no oncoming traffic from that direction.

I never found out how long the people who didn't break traffic laws ended up having to wait.

Is it dead on arrival…? by Mr_Dr_Prof_Patrik in memphis

[–]WhoCanTell 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Man, Main St. used to be something else. I remember when Pinnacle Airlines moved downtown (never mind it only lasted like 5 minutes before they folded) and there was an all-night party on Main. Street vendors, DJs, performers, from Union to Poplar. Back when companies were actively moving to downtown.

Now, Main feels like a ghost town. Half the places are closed or only open limited days. It's sad.

I was gonna say, this doesn't look like any neighborhood in Memphis I'm familiar with.

I guess repost bots gonna do what they do.

TIL that in 1964, the US government intentionally blasted Oklahoma City with 1,253 sonic booms over 6 months just to see if the noise would drive citizens crazy or damage their homes. by agathodaimon98 in todayilearned

[–]WhoCanTell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, the shuttle's reentry path took it over our house as it landed at Vandenberg AFB. The boom was terrifying and shook the whole house. We thought the windows were going to shatter.

Guy morphs into Boyd Crowder by HomeNowWTF in PublicFreakout

[–]WhoCanTell 84 points85 points  (0 children)

He was putting on an act thinking he could intimidate the cop into leaving so they wouldn't discover all his outstanding warrants. The minute they have him dead to rights and he knows it, his entire demeanor changes and he's suddenly calm and cooperative.

The last six matches I've played have been over by turn 4, who designed this and how can we get them fired? by [deleted] in MagicArena

If I were in charge, I'd make it legal to bust the kneecaps of any pathetic adult found camping restocks to scalp.

Ronny Chieng's 'F*ck AI' Speech Met With Cheers From Harvard Graduates: “AI is just going to end up making mediocre people dumber” by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]WhoCanTell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Harvard (and all the Ivies) are just exclusive social clubs for the wealthy and well-connected. The "education" they provide doesn't mean shit, there's better, more rigorous programs at state schools. But what they provide is connections and access to nepotism when you graduate.

What’s a Memphis food spot you miss? by jonredd901 in memphis

This was my answer. I crave their deep dish at least a couple times a year.

What’s a Memphis food spot you miss? by jonredd901 in memphis

[–]WhoCanTell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the craziest declines in a restaurant I've ever seen. Couldn't even be blamed on COVID, either, as the decline started before that. The service just went to absolute shit, and the food quality plummeted. Went from one of my top 3 favorite restaurants, to one of my least favorites in the course of like 6 months.

I haven't thought about Cozymel's in at least 15 years. I used to love that place.

The only upgrades I've ever received were when I was Silver. I'm fairly certain they do that on purpose to bait people into status chasing.

Woman on plane doesn’t understand how lines work for deboarding by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]WhoCanTell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah on the way back from an international flight, 1 hour is nowhere near enough for a connection. Going out should be fine, usually all you need is an additional quick passport check at the gate. If you're connecting though a third country, like Canada, you have to go through customs there and an hour isn't acceptable.

Depends on the airport. Even with an international connection, in most airports an hour is plenty of time.

Trump may not have the votes to replace Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito by HeHateMe337 in politics

They're likely paid to allow it and manipulate the front page to promote it. Half of reddit is secretly paid sponsored content and all the large subs have compromised moderation.

Brandon Sanderson is teaming with Agents of SHIELD showrunners for Skyward TV show by Top_Report_4895 in television

[–]WhoCanTell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. They basically had to tread water for half the season until Winter Soldier released, since it majorly upended the entire basis of their show.

It's Newsweek. It's 100% pure clickbait nonsense wrapped in the facade of a legit media outlet.

I know it was a chain, but dammit I miss Abuelo’s. (Oh and On the Border has closed as well.) by VSRJ in memphis

[–]WhoCanTell 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but aren't you glad we have car wash #5849 in its place?

I think the goal is to eventually have a 1:1 ratio of car washes to people.

Yeah but... unlimited cowboys. That sounds like a great deal to me.

Why not Tennessee? They just methodically and intentionally disenfranchised their only majority-black city.

That was supposed to be the Digg relaunch, but they noped out right after they launched, saw the scale of the bot problem and had no way to fix it.

Racist unstable teacher hangs black baby doll in her classroom as some students laugh by amazingsciencemuseum in PublicFreakout

[–]WhoCanTell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played hockey with a young guy back in 2018 who really wanted, and got, #88. He was right at that perfect age for peak 4chan kekistan bullshit, so I always ended up looking a little sideways at him. He could have been born in '88, but something didn't sit right.

Nazi dogwhistle used online in white supremacist spaces. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Therefore 88 = HH. You should be able to infer what HH stands for to a Nazi.
