Just a reminder that pedophile is not synonymous with child rapist.

We Finns tend to be leery of Russians by default, given our history with them. Everyone gets a fair chance from me - but the moment someone confirms the stereotype, I can’t help but think, this is why you have the reputation you do.

Wearing a jacket like that while there’s a hot war happening just 1,000 kilometers from our border shows poor judgment at best - and at worst, it signals support for that war.

If you want to accuse me of being biased against Russians - well, damn right I am.

Both. It originated in a city with a lab doing gain-of-function research on coronaviruses. I’m not claiming that’s definitely where it came from - but it’s quite the coincidence, to say the least.

And there’s nothing wrong with anti-China propaganda as long as it’s aimed at the authoritarian government, not the people living under it. That regime deserves every bit of it.

“But what about the US this and the UK that?!” Yeah - they deserve it too.

No. Reddit was better in almost every possible way with just few exeptions. I'm simply too principled to go back and I see Lemmy as the only viable alternative.

I don't get her logic at all. No amount of mental gymnastics allows me to find anything sexist in that.

No, I went inside. I doubt they ever reached him.

Hay bale - or multiple.

Could be. Maybe they're running out of motorbikes too and are about to start storming Ukranian positions with bicycles next.

 

I was delivering an order for a customer and saw some guy messing with the bikes on a bike rack using a screwdriver. Then another guy showed up, so the first one stopped, slipped the screwdriver into his pocket, and started smoking a cigarette like nothing was going on. I was debating whether to report it or not - but then I noticed his jacket said "Russia" in big letters on the back, and that settled it for me.

That was only the second time in my life I’ve called the emergency number.

This applies to every single site that hosts adult content - not just reddit.

Asking investment advice from a system that's designed to do nothing else but generate natural sounding language based on probabilities is pretty stupid.

That being said, what's wrong with this answer? I think it's more or less a good and balanced take.

Here's the first half of it that I left out:

spoiler

"AI" as an investment isn’t one thing—it’s more like a category of bets, ranging from hardware to software to services, each with wildly different risk profiles. So the honest answer is: yes, it can be a good investment—but only if you understand what you’re actually investing in.

Here’s why that nuance matters:

Buying Nvidia stock in 2019 was a good AI investment. Buying it now, after a 10x run-up? Much less clear—it’s priced as if they’re the sole arms dealer in a forever war.

OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. aren't publicly traded, so retail investors can't buy them directly. Instead, you get exposure via companies like Microsoft, Amazon, or other backers—meaning you’re not really investing in “AI” directly, but as part of a much broader bundle.

AI startups and ETFs are all over the place—some are thinly veiled hype vehicles chasing trends, while others are building real infrastructure (like vector databases, chip design tools, or specialized AI services). Picking the wrong one is like investing in Pets.com during the dot-com boom—it sounds techy, but the business might be garbage.

Thematic ETFs like BOTZ or ROBO give you AI exposure but are diluted by their attempt to hedge across subsectors. They tend to underperform when compared to cherry-picking the winners.

I'm unable to replicate your results. I get a long and nuanced aswer. Mind sharing the answer you got?

When I asked the same thing the conclusion was:

So is AI a good investment? The sector has long-term potential, especially in areas like chip manufacturing, enterprise automation, and maybe foundational model licensing. But it's also deeply speculative right now, with prices reflecting hype as much as earnings.

If you're thinking long-term and can stomach volatility, AI is worth including. If you're chasing short-term returns because you think “AI is the future,” you might be buying someone else’s exit.

It’s a bit sensationalist to say someone “faces possible jail time” just because the maximum sentence for breaking a law is up to three years in prison. Also, he’s not being sued for reviewing handheld gaming devices - it’s about the ones shipped with copyrighted content.
