Surely that can’t be true though? I see this-

> Saltair Resort: Built in 1893, Saltair was a massive, Moorish-style pavilion built directly over the water. It featured a massive dance floor, roller coasters, and thousands of tourists who came to experience "America's Dead Sea" by floating effortlessly in the water.

I cannot imagine any sane person dancing and doing roller coasters over the current shrine to decay that is the Great Salt Lake.

Yep you see how deep the scam goes. It’s like in the gold rush if the ONLY people that made money were the one shovel seller.

He’s got a Proton email address on the CD cover, I think I’m in love with this dude.

The Great Salt Lake remains for my brothers and I one of the vilest places we have ever visited on Earth. The smell of rotting flies we will never forget. An ecosystem of filth and putrification. If you’ve never been there, you can’t imagine what a place worse than Mordor would be like. I assume it wasn’t always like this? It would be great if they reversed the water loss, but I’m not optimistic. I assume it will eventually just be a toxic dust plain where the lake used to be, an Aral Sea for America as a reminder that we didn’t do a single fruitful thing about climate change.

Some numbers for the people in the back.

One where you wake up and have a job to go to and can buy bread that day.

I tried to find a GS report from the top of the 2000 tech bubble but couldn't find one. I wonder what it would have said?

Interesting, I always thought it was the younger guy. Here's kudos to Dorje for flossing in those bright green boots at 47.

My Mom wouldn’t be able to make AI images of her dog Chico as a pirate anymore.

I don’t agree with their interpretation at all and neither do lots of other studies around the world that get the same result.

> the observed decline is primarily due to decreases in word comprehension and numerical reasoning tests

What else would this be but intelligence? Imagine if your AI didn’t know what words mean and couldn’t do math and you still tried to make the assertion that it was just as intelligent.

I like the spirit of what you are saying but the smart part isn’t true at all. IQ peaked around the mid 1990s and as someone that lived back then that tracks.

Look at Fig. 3. The world seems to be experiencing a reverse Flynn effect.

I'd really like if you showed a few examples so we know what we are looking for.

Top signal.

Dark night skies will probably be one of the main selling points for the off world colonies. I can see the Bladerunner-esque ads now.

The scapegoats for this plan never change and have never changed in human history.

My fellow humans, we have retrograded.

I’m going to be honest I fell for the AirPods Pro 3 hype about it being the best noise cancelling of all time and I bought a pair. I found the noise cancelling worse than my $30 Anker Soundcore P30i, I could never get the hearing test on the AirPods to pass no matter what depths of a quiet room I went to, and the sound quality on music was worse than my Ankers. Don’t fall for the hype or at least order from Amazon like I did so you can return them. I could hear my AC running with the AirPods, with the Anker I had to ask my girlfriend if it was on.

Weyland-Yutani probably also had a similar wholesome origin story in the beginning.

I think the website is kind of awesome. If you put a window in your home and opened it to the world is it wrong to look through the window? If someone installed the camera and didn’t understand what they are doing that is on them.

They aren’t making more Mozart notebooks so probably.

For me better models are like 8k TVs, my 4k TV is fine, I really don’t know if I can see or tell the difference from 8k and 4k, and to be honest I’m usually just streaming some 1080p anyway. Sometimes products reach the plateau where humans just don’t need better. I’d certainly never pay for AI, Gemini 3.5 Flash free works just fine when I need AI. I don’t even click higher models for free in the Gemini app. I mainly just care about speed. I’m not a programmer, AI doesn’t make me able to make my job better or make more money and the vast amount of people in the world are like me. These valuations are not based on that reality and the stock market correction is going to be 1930s level I fear.

AI was always going to be a race to the bottom and low margins. It’s why I’m extremely bearish on AI as an investment. It’s framed as some high margin business when it’s really going to end up like your toilet paper at Costco. You will use whatever is cheapest and gets the job done.

The similarities between the AI world and the crypto world are so much closer than any AI fanboy would ever admit.

After 9/11 is when the country I loved began its descent into this mutated form, a country I don’t recognize today.

I can't wait for these AI companies to IPO and be harpooned.

A good read when X is "borrowing like never before".

Well we are a science lab and need to constantly communicate about work so that’s not good.

Don’t you think SoftBank has more insight and a ground level view on their own investment though?

All my co-workers wear those and I hate it. Any attempt to talk to them about work or personal subjects means they have to hit their ear and pause it. It just makes me want to say nothing.
