Lying Liars

Massive Passive

Chill Lying Liars, Political Economy

The economists are lying to all of us about AI. There will be massive job loss because of it. It’s already happening.

Econs have to prevaricate, dissimulate and fabricate. Being professional liars is what most of them do. It’s their entire purpose in life. Most of them would not have jobs otherwise.

Same. I don’t think a single adult “You’ll agree with me when you’re older” or “You’ll know better when you’re older” or “You’ll understand when you’re older” ever happened. All those adults were either wrong or attempting to manipulate or harm me in some way.

A part of that is due to where and when I grew up. It was probably better in other areas. But most adults at any time aren’t particularly wise nor particularly knowledgeable, so their advice and what is “obvious” to them is typically absolute crap and worthless.

Ruled By

Those roles are all overseas. Net information roles in US are down 190,000 since the recent peak (of but one example as this doesn’t include all tech roles, there are others on FRED):

As if the tech world has only three components. Unfortunately the discourse is ruled by lying clown idiots who can’t even be bothered to look at a graph.

Same Lies

Yes, this is all just part of the left’s ongoing mendacity about how “everyone is exactly the same.”

Saw the Whip

Hardly anything makes me hate people worse than hypocrisy. And watching the majority of the “progressives” whipsaw wildly from copyright minimalism to maximalism when it fit better into their degrowther tendencies certainly made me detest them a whole lot. That’s not the only thing, but that was a big part.

Retinal

I’m old enough to remember when scientists confidently assured us that 800×600 resolution was all that was needed and the human eye couldn’t really perceive any more detail than that.

That was around 1994 or so. Can you imagine living with 800×600 now? Looks like garbage, right? But that was common “knowledge” back then. Common “knowledge” these days is that no one can possibly distinguish between 1080p and 4K. Sure, buddy. Heard that story before. Just as much an absurd lie this time too.

Probably the upper human vision limit of being able to notice any difference under ideal conditions is 32K on a 27″ monitor. Many people, however, truly wouldn’t be able to distinguish anything at or above about 8K.

And those are the actual limits of human vision, as opposed to the clown pseudoscience a lot of faux-scientists seem to pull out of their ass every few years.

Indeed. Obama started this. That doesn’t make it right (or wrong). But it was a precedent. Pretending like this began with Trump is false and makes (as is typical lately) the liberal side look deranged. After all, they cheered like mad when their lord and savior Obama did exactly the same thing.

SpaceX bounces back with a Starship test flight that ended on a buoyant note.

Huh! I was told this rocket would never work. Never. That’s what all the good liberals said.

And that’s what they also said about SpaceX’s other rockets nearly a decade-and-a-half ago. Not a great track record, really. The funny part about doing hard things is they often fail a lot in the initial phases.

Get out there and build shit. Ignore the posers, losers, doubters and haters. That’s all you can really do.

According to Covidians, Covid is still having enormous hidden effects on health, welfare and society that somehow completely fail to show up in statistics, daily life, cross-country comparisons, anyone’s actual experiences or in anything measurable outside of confidently-conspiratorial pronouncements on Bluesky or brainless turd headquarters, Mastodon.

Isn’t that mysterious? Huh.
