You seriously can’t go wrong with the lenovo thinkpads on eBay. I Got a thinkpad E14 ryzen 7 (7th gen), 48gb ram, 1tb ssd for $400 on ebay with a small hair crack on the hinge.

At the end of the day, a laptop is a laptop, and the cost difference between a $2000 brand new laptop and a $400 used laptop there really is no argument/justification to be made to buy a $2000 laptop in less-intensive tasks. Here’s a better instance of your money: find a $400 laptop with semi-good performance (ryzen 3 or intel equivalent) put $1600 to a gaming computer and setup a virtual environment with a radeon or rtx gpu at your fingertips.

Yea no, it’s not that bad. Jediism is also a pretty cool religion content-wise unless they somehow fucked up the story of star wars. Just like how the Jews, muslums, and catholics couldn’t ever talk about their parent religion Assyrianism; oh what a fucking disgrace that would be.

it would be so much more interesting if these major religions did talk about there parent religion asyrianism and/or roman mythology. Its far more interesting than asking a rabbi “what shoe I should tie first” or “why do I have to cut my finger nails in a specific way as if I have dyslexia.” 😂

Anyways I’m getting side tracked here, basic premise is, an AI religion – which some may argue already exists (talking to you Sam altman) – as long as there’s truth to it, is far better than any other religion

I’m guessing this “homeschooling” will start well, and then go on a complete fucking tangent where they now believe AI is god, and make a god damn religion through it.

If someone’s so passionate in AI, where he removes his kids from school to homeschool them, the end result is not going to be fucking pretty.
