Sometimes PG is smart. Sometimes he is not. This is an example of the latter.
He’s not alone. I hate all the screen protectors and the cases. I’ve been using a naked iPhone since 2007. Only cracked the screen once (and it was super devastating).
🚨 #BREAKING: Apple hardware chief reveals he gets the ick when people put screen protectors on their iPhones — “makes my skin crawl.”
These people are so incredibly ungrateful. OpenAI gives you a gift and you complain. If I was @thsottiaux I would be so disappointed with humanity.
Banked resets are sold as a gift, but using one quietly costs you more than it gives.
A full one refills your 5 hour and weekly limits, but it also moves your next reset date to 7 days after you use it.
So if your regular reset was due tomorrow, you get some usage back now but wait an extra week for the next one.
That makes it feel like a bad trade instead of a bonus. It should only refill the limits and leave the date alone.

There is no coherent way to have a reasonable public conversation about AI safety because it involves technical topics that the public doesn't understand mixed with moral philosophy the public doesn't understand
I don’t know why people are dunking on this young woman. I think it’s admirable that she wants a relationship, has set high standards and been clear about them, and hasn’t specified the 6-foot requirement. Plus she is reasonably attractive so I think she has a real shot.
The fact that Pratt was not elected by an overwhelmingly majority is how I know LA is not worth saving and that local elections are rigged.
The city of Spokane is refusing to waive demolition permit fees for fire victims. After losing EVERYTHING, victims have to pay $500 to cap the water and sewer lines under their burned out house. What the fuck is the point of paying taxes? Just like California, Washington uses taxpayer dollars to buy crackpipes and heroin needles for unemployed homeless drug zombies, but when you, the working class taxpayer, lose everything you have through no fault of your own, you still have to pay for this?
These city leaders are so fucking petty they'll still force fire victims to pay $35 for permission to demolish their own destroyed home. Why? You couldn't just waive it? For $35? Yeah, it's not a lot of money, but that actually makes it worse...forcing a fire victim to cough up a meager sum that in NO way actually funds the process in any meaningful way just shows that you are doing it out of spite. Just a nice little "fuck you" to the peasants.
Additionally, the state of Washington is forcing fire victims to pay sales tax to replace the items they lost in the fire. Again...why? The state was never factoring in that revenue...it never existed on the balance sheet BUT for the fire. Government is collecting a windfall from people's LOSSES. There's literally zero need to collect taxes on shit that people already owned.
Back during the mid 90's floods, the state legislature passed a sales tax exemption for victims replacing their stuff. If they don't do this in their next leg session, they all need to go. The one thing WA did is cut property tax on their burned out homes, which is the absolute least they could do.
You assholes never maintain your forests, everybody lost everything, their pets burned alive, and now you're going tack on an extra 9.1% to the cost of rebuilding their lives...for what? Not to mention the fact that a couch today costs probably 2x as much as when they first bought the one they just lost. I fucking hate these people, man.

There are two ideologies I’m fighting, and they overlap a lot:
1) Anti-AI
2) Wokeness
They’re two sides of the same anti-human, anti-progress coin.
I have been going on a goal for one day, nine hours, 16 minutes, and 54 seconds on a single OpenAI Plus subscription with GPT 5.6 Luna and I still have 75% of my limit. Luna is amazing. GPT 6 Luna is going to be amazing!
Still going and I'm still not quite sure what it's doing but it has merged 30 PRs and has 9 to go.

I’ve said many times that almost all the people who fell for Covid would do it exactly the same way the next time around.
This AI panic is just digital Covid.

One of the craziest things about being a normal guy who gets thrust into politics and gets behind the curtain, is seeing people actively sabotage initiatives because they’re just desperate to get clout. They will proactively let the country burn just out of insecurity and ego.
