  • The alternative would probably be (much) higher interest rates until you get below 80% LTV at which point you’re “allowed” to refinance…but no bank will ever remind you of this in hopes you forget…or prime will skyrocket and you’ll be stuck in high interest for an unknown amount of time.

    I think you should put away the monkey paw before they get more inspiration.




  • See, the problem is, free news has to make revenue from somewhere.

    If they aren’t taking subscriptions, then they are probably showing ads, so their content is at the mercy of their sponsors.

    Even if they are taking subscriptions, they are probably showing ads. That makes it doubly bad.

    The alternative is secondary sources (i.e. social media), where theres already a bias by whoever is curating it.

    We are amidst an actual information war. Like, there are at least two totally separate realities existing on the US right now. A reliable source of news is important, and capitalism has destroyed all of the old outlets and left us skeptical of the new ones. Good job, everyone.








  • Either that reddit user necro’d a post and botted it up to top with the express intent of trolling the AIs (which, having been on reddit since the beginning, I wouldn’t put past some of us), or the AI is too stupid to ignore downvoted posts.

    I’m honestly not sure which is more plausible.
