Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • Only 12 percent reported both lower costs and higher revenue, while 56 percent saw neither benefit. Twenty-six percent saw reduced costs, but nearly as many experienced cost increases.

    So 38% saw benefits from AI, whereas "nearly" 26% saw cost increases from it. One could just as easily write the headline "More companies experience increased benefits from AI than experience increased costs" based on this data but that headline wouldn't get so many clicks.

  • Trump shares altered map of U.S. flag covering Canada, Greenland and Venezuela

    Jump

  • Canadian here. We very much do not want any American territory. It's got Americans in it.

  • Canada's Carney aims to lead new global trading order less reliant on US

    Jump

  • My main concern is that this is what a lot of people (myself included) thought about Trump sticking around. We need to remain on guard no matter how awful PP is, because you just never know how low the electorate will go.

  • Are there "big accounts" on the threadiverse?

  • We dodged such a bullet last election.

  • Yeah, I was a little baffled. I know the Fediverse is still relatively small, but still. I recommended the guy block me if he finds me so annoying. One of the nice things about the Fediverse's setup compared to Reddit is that the user-blocking feature doesn't play havoc with peoples' ability to continue participating in threads.

  • Earlier today someone told me "I’d like for you to know that in the league of insufferable people in this app, you are in the top one percent." So maybe I count? I don't think I comment all that much.

  • Russians laying mines in Huliaipole because they cannot hold the town

    Jump

  • Considering how Russia likes to do scorched-earth advances, their retreats are going to be very messy indeed.

  • If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win?

    Jump

  • I'd consider that a "lose" condition.

    It's possible for everyone to lose a war.

  • 'Europe is at a total loss': Russia gloats over Greenland tensions

    Jump

  • "America bad" does not mean "Russia good."

  • 30B-A3B GLM-4.7-Flash Released

    Jump

  • Oo. I use Qwen3-30B-A3B-Thinking-2507 as my generic "workhorse" local LLM, so this looks like it might be a nice upgrade with exactly the same basic specs. I'll try it out.

  • Most Fediverse clients (probably including whichever app you're using) have a block feature, you can use that on me if you prefer not to see my comments.

  • I'm not "minimizing" nukes. I'm describing them as they are. I provided sources.

    You may not be aware, but many people survived Hiroshima and the city is populated to this day.

  • Russia welcomes Trump's tariffs on NATO allies over Greenland as 'collapse' of alliance

    Jump

  • The problem, as I understand it, is that the NATO treaty has some stuff in it that is specifically and explicitly the responsibility of the US and having the US abruptly drop out makes the whole thing kind of broken. So a new NATO treaty will need to be quickly organized among those who remain interested.

    I have proposed calling it NATWO, we'll see if they take my advice I suppose.

  • Trump in letter to Norwegian PM: "Feels no obligation to think purely of peace" due to Peace Prize rejection

    Jump

  • Even if it doesn't get better in a global sense, I'll still feel quite happy that day.

  • Russia welcomes Trump's tariffs on NATO allies over Greenland as 'collapse' of alliance

    Jump

  • Volodymyr Zelensky did an interview with David Letterman in 2022 and told a joke.

    “Two Jewish guys from Odesa meet up,” Zelensky says. “One asks the other: ‘So what’s the situation? What are people saying?'” And he goes, ‘What are people saying? They are saying it’s a war.'”

    “What kind of war?”

    “Russia is fighting NATO.”

    “Are you serious?”

    “Yes, yes! Russia is fighting NATO.”

    “So how’s it going?”

    “Well, 70,000 Russian soldiers are dead. The missile stockpile has almost been depleted. A lot of equipment is damaged, blown up.”

    “And what about NATO?”

    “What about NATO? NATO hasn’t arrived yet.”

    It's going to be super embarrassing for Russia when NATO disbands entirely and Russia still loses.

  • [The Economist] America’s hunger for Greenland is tearing NATO apart

    Jump

  • It's a bit more complicated than that. NATO was about projecting US style hegemony. NATO's members were okay with a country like the United States being "in charge" because the US used to understand that there was win/win to be had from the relationship.

    The United States stopped being like that. I could potentially see NATO continuing on without the US - or more likely a successor organization, since the literal NATO treaty would be tricky to preserve word-for-word in that situation. I can't see it continuing on with the US, though, since the US no longer believes in NATO's goals.

  • Special mention to Overdrawn at the Memory Bank

    Jump

  • In my childhood I actually watched it before it got MST3Ked and I recall rather liking it. I'm quite sure I wasn't on cocaine at the time.

  • The mods of r/pics are being cute with the rules. Need advice on a submission

    Jump

  • Reddit isn't a court of law, mods don't really have to follow any particular rules other than "be profitable for Reddit Inc."
