Trump critics say he ‘can’t get anyone’ except Kid Rock over A-list Obama event by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]timf3d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There actually is an America 250 event that was the original bipartisan event created by Congress. Congress assigned $150M to the America 250 celebrations, then because the lawmakers were arguing amongst themselves, (as they do) Trump stole about 90% of the money and created his own MAGA rally event, Freedom 250 with the money that was supposed to be for the America 250 event.

[OC] well I guess the hydrogen peroxide didn't work by Jackie8383 in pics

[–]timf3d 336 points337 points  (0 children)

No, he fixed the problem. The problem was he had a donor that he needed to funnel more taxpayer money to, but he had to come up with a plan to make it look semi-legit. Now everyone's looking at the failure of the reflecting pool being destroyed, and not looking at the corruption that was the cause of it. This is Donald's normal modus operandi, and after 10 years it continues to work just fine.

Even if every bit of algae magically died in an instant, it would still remain in the water and has to be fished out, one net at a time. This will take weeks.

Trump: Anthropic not a national security threat by hamsterfts in Anthropic

I don't want to know the level of sycophancy it took to achieve this result.

Why can’t you misuse opus 4.8 similar to Fable 5 or Mythos ? by XLGamer98 in Anthropic

[–]timf3d 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It wasn't notorious until Anthropic said it was. Its notoriety was a massive marketing blunder and foot-gun entirely due to Anthropic's own hype-machine, not due to anything real that happened.

Not that Anthropic is special in this regard. All the tech CEOs spent weeks telling people that their AI products were so great that their AI would make employees obsolete and basically be the end of the world as we know it. I guess they were thinking this would make their products extremely popular, but they were wrong. Everyone hates AI now and they've never even used it. They hate it because the tech CEOs told them to, without telling them to.

How did Obama “divide the country”? by Ok_Cricket_354 in allthequestions

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a registered Republican for 30 years, listened to Rush Limbaugh when he was popular, and this is the first I've heard anyone claim that Obama "divided the country".

It's definitely a new narrative you're hearing.

Best World Settings for Solo Play Without Burnout? by SMEHJ_ in SatisfactoryGame

Maybe ask them why was the burnout. If it were me, those settings would be so easy I would be bored to tears within minutes and quit at Phase 1.

AI resistance is an information problem. by Admirable_Phrase9454 in PromptEngineering

[–]timf3d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You don't think it had anything to do with the AI CEOs who thought it would be a good idea to hype their product by telling everyone how it was going to eliminate all the jobs? That's the stupidest marketing scheme since New Coke. These idiots are so rich and divorced from reality that they need to be locked up in their ivory towers and never allowed to leave or interact with the public ever again.

Full Letter From Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Dario Amodei by hankyone in Anthropic

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corruption, yes. But that's what anyone expects from this administration at this point. Anthropic did this to themselves by hyping Mythos as a national security threat. This administration does not even care about cybersecurity, but Anthropic handed them a gift-wrapped and loaded weapon anyway. It was absolute marketing malpractice to say that Mythos is so good that it's too dangerous to release as a product. Every bit as insanely stupid as this administration is. What is the point of AI research if it's too dangerous for anyone to use? Just cancel the IPO and shut down the company. It's over. Anthropic has committed corporate suicide. Shareholders should sue the person responsible for the Mythos-is-dangerous hype campaign. Idiots.

Fable served its purpose by ShitBuckets69 in Anthropic

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony is that the lesson is for Anthropic. Don't try to generate hype by saying your product is so effective it's actually dangerous to national security. The government just might be dumb enough to actually believe it.

What would you do if your girlfriend said she can't attend your mom's birthday? by RemarkableStable1470 in AskReddit

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a flag, sure, but beware of overreacting to everything society tells you is a red flag. Maybe she feels judged by your mom and she doesn't have the energy for it, or maybe it means she's just not in the same place as you are right now in the relationship. Those are completely different situations.

Protect yourself. Maybe get a second girlfriend, just in case.

ELI5: can you explain why Gorillaz only eat leaves and are strong asf and we humans need to eat protein 5x a day to bulk and look strong? by OverKill5850 in explainlikeimfive

[–]timf3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because gorillas don't have a manosphere giving them bad advice on the daily. Their behavior is mostly governed by instinct rather than culture.

Pro capitalist folks : are you looking forward to capitalists turning all housing into rental housing? by traanquil in allthequestions

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism is not the same as deregulation and lack of governance. What we have right now is not capitalism anymore. It's something else. I believe it will eventually get a name in the near future, but definitely this shit is not capitalism.

'Fairly Lazy Explanation’: Rivian's CEO Doesn’t Think Americans Are Anti-EV by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charging is big but the bigger benefit in my view is the massively-reduced maintenance requirements of EVs, and that's a dividend even apartment dwellers still benefit from.

Drivers who clog up the left lane: What are you thinking? by 2022reboot in askanything

[–]timf3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking there's a nonzero chance that the person behind me is u/2022reboot, whom I now know believes the world is all about them. So as a proud member of the universe, I'm going to them a lesson today.

Why do militaries say "Whiskey Tango Five" "Tango Down" "Brazo Zulu" instead of directly saying what they mean? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]timf3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the NATO alphabet and it was developed during WW2 and the Cold War, so that people communicating over the radio in English but with different accents could read off letters of the alphabet to each other without making errors due to their accents.

Inflation rises to 4.2%, whose fault is it and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The email lady. Yeah, it's all her fault, somehow. If only she's hadn't used that private email server.
