Damn, music to code by 😀

It's so reassuring that we have such compassionate & caring people leading the charge into the Brave New World of an AI driven society looking out for the best interests of Humanity. 🙄

Quote from: K-Dog on Oct 03, 2026, 09:05 AMTHIS PAGE, look at the top of this pay and refresh a few times.  There are only a few banners in rotation, 4 or 5.  And you have watched this page load at least 100 times.

GOT IT!!! Well there you have it. I hit one of these forum pages and go right to the text. Never even noticed that Surly reference at all.

I HAVE watched the page load more than 100 times....I just don't pay any attention to the top. Why would I? My intent is simple...."are there any new posts AFTER my last one". As there are only the 3 of us kicking around, anything other than that is irrelevant. I've got reddit for full-scale wide band doom of all kinds, including Surly's aggregation.

Good to know! You are not real.

Then I am NOT the D. Jarvie that RE wants to pretend I am? QUICK! SOMEONE TELL ALL THE SCIENCE RAGS THEY'VE BEEN SPOOFED BY A BOT! DECADES AGO EVEN!

Well, while I admit to having been raised in the midst of the classic Appalalchian 'holler, I know who both parents were, and they weren't related. So no, no inbreeding that I know of going back at least 3 generations. And by then those folks were mixed eastern european and Irish, so unlikely any inbreeding that far back either.

And again, assigning "evil intent" to someone who just studies, postulates, does the science and builds econometric models that benefitted by being right in the exact moment when the peak oilers were at their apex...hey....it is only fair I can kick back and coast on my well earned professional reputation at this point.

Quoteclassic Appalalchian 'holler,

Exactly what a bot would do, fall back on the script.  Less than 1000 words can contain 'everything you have 'revealed' about yourself from day one.

And that is being generous, I take it back  500 words.

Good to know I suppose. I'm not a bot. You and RE are the ones claiming that I am a real person ever since RE was busy sicing Haniel on me to dox forum members. So which is it? I am a person with a name you've already bought into, or now I'm suddenly a bot? Because...you are busy doing AI stuff?

Quote from: K-DogLess than 1000 words can contain 'everything you have 'revealed' about yourself from day one.

Really? So when the peak oilk amateurs called resource play development "unconventional", a BOT understood, and explained to said amateurs, the history of the USGS definitions on continuous accumulations thereby demonstrating that those using the words "conventional" and "unconventional" were just geologic incompetents? And did this YEARS before phantom "bots" came along to be involved?

Please. I mean, farcical is pretty common around here with the MIB playing inside your databases all invisible like, and not being able to calculate something as basic as camera coverage in DC to collect info on BigBalls and someone beating him up, and so on and so forth, but a bot?

So who the hell sent you on a Dan Jarvie witchhunt? Did a bot feed RE IP numbers confirming the me bot was traveling too and from conferences and registering my name there....all to mess with YOUR mind a decade later?

Farcical K-Dog. With RE I figure when he was being silly it was because he was just in another one of his drunken stupors. You aren't stoned out of your mind tonight are you?

I'm probably underestimating the gullibility of the average J6P Konsumer, but this Hard Sell of all the GREAT things having your own Personal AI Agent will do for you seems to me like something I neither need or even WANT.

Do I want an Agent to book my Travel Plans?  I never used travel agents even when they were people.  Do I want an Agent to respond to my emails and do my online banking?  I'm supposed to TRUST one of these cyber secretaries with my Login info and Passwords?

What % of the population leads such a bizzy Calendar-Filling life that they need a Personal Assisstant, either the traditional kind that you can also fuck on your bizness trips or the new AI kind that just talks dirty to you?  I think the folks designing these Aps for AI confuse things THEY want to go with their  7 figure salary and what your average J6P who these days can afford maybe 1 vacation every 5 years wants.

If this is what AI enthusiasts think will bring in the ROI to justify a $10T buildout, I think they will be sadly disappointed.

You need a personal digital assistant so they can charge you for one.  You get a digital slave, and you become a real one.  Then they can watch everything you do too.  That info is money to them, you become their cash cow. 

You pay them and they rent your ass out.  Money for nothin is the Merican way.  Or at least dreams of it.  The idea that money is actually frozen labor is soooo yesterday.  Sugarplums and gingerbread dreams, crypto replaces labor.  And they two-time your ass because you worked for their money, and they want it now.  You have had their money long enough.


Convenience is an easy sell.  For a little convenience Americans are willing to sell close relatives.  Convenience is status.  Joe six pack agrees.  Joe will kill for convenience.   Convenience is addictive, and AI is the Swiss Army Knife of lazy.

I don't need a personal digital assistant. So they can't charge me for one. My digital slave is called a "computer", and does all the calculations and stuff I tell it to do. Good 'nuff.
