Is AI doomed?

Capt. Marble — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 20:43:41 +0800

At the beningging, we were awe of AI, can write nice nice professional sentences and summaries.
We were so happy can create resume so nice nice for us with good sentenceses that helped us all to looked liking professional.
But after a while, seems everyone ones resume looking the sama-sama. AI has become so common, it's nothing specialle anymore and it's starting to get bored.
AI ran out of data to train mid 2024 and now the increment in AI is slowing down lot lot. Pump in more power but get little returns or improvement unlike the beningging that time improve a lot until can see Will Smith eat speggeti nicely today. We consume AI slop, happy but starting to question the usage and point of it all.

We were so engrossed with what AI CAN do, we forgot what it SHOULD do.
We were pushing the wrong way.

So if got saman, can revoke Budi95...

Capt. Marble — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:04:09 +0800

Ok since the BUDI95 has pass it's maiden voyage, lets move on to further enhance it's features.
There are a lot of traffic offenders who blatantly break the rules and ignore the saman until and unless they get a discount for it.
This is deemed unfair for those who follow the rules diligently and payup whenever kena saman.
So far gov has been giving incentives of discounts to encourage the payment of the saman but society sees this as something that should not happen.

What if the gov implement a mechanism where the BU95 subsidy ties to the saman where if the person has outstanding saman that is overdue for payment, he/she will not be entitled for the subsidy until he/she pays the saman. Will this work? Are we ready for this?

Upcoming Proton Emas 5?

Capt. Marble — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 18:28:11 +0800

Since our Proton Emas 7 is based on the Galaxy E5, this cute little EV from Geely is bound to be our upcoming Emas 5.
The important question is how much will it be?
The travel range not so good.

I am guessing around RM 48--70k.

Since it's Proton and they don't have a star seller at that range (40-70k, Iriz sales negligible, Persona also not that good), putting it at the 40-60k will eat into MyVI sales if they package is right.
The size is like MyVi, it basically fits the MyVi profile (the older bubbly lagi best one).
Anything below RM40k belongs to Saga.

Spoiler : It comes with the aiscream truck sound too! How cute is that!
Also it's rear wheel drive and have a huge frunk.

Proud of durian.

Capt. Marble — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 08:03:15 +0800

The 'durian' word is actually derived from the BM word of 'duri' so this is Malaysia's contribution to the whole world!

Imagine everyone is familiar with 'durian', which is in our national language.. proud tak?

Will Taiwan be US state?

Capt. Marble — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 12:50:19 +0800

Since US already put forth agenda to bring in Greenland as part of US, what if they do the same with Taiwan?
They have done it with Hawaii before :

Hawaii became a US state due to its strategic location in the Pacific and economic benefits. The US Congress agreed to its annexation in 1959 (just 2 years after we merdeka), making Hawaii the 50th state of the United States

Will Taiwan people support?

Ouch...

"Launched in tandem with Belanjawanku 2024/2025, the newly introduced Retirement Income Adequacy (RIA) Framework revises the recommended savings level from a single benchmark to three tiers, comprising "basic", "adequate" and "enhanced" levels of savings...

Under the RIA Framework, a person falling within the "adequate savings" tier must have 240 times the adequate retirement income, rounded down to the nearest RM10,000. Based on the RM2,690 monthly income recommended in Belanjawanku 2024/2025, this amounts to RM650,000....

For the lower tier "basic savings", a person must have 60% of the adequate savings amount, which is RM390,000.

The higher tier "enhanced savings" must have two times the adequate savings sum, amounting to RM1.3mil.

Meanwhile, the withdrawal policy for savings above RM1 million will align with the enhanced savings benchmark, offering members flexibility in managing their surplus funds."

What does it mean? Does it mean instead of can withdraw anything above 1 mil, you now can only withdraw anything above 1.3 mil? What if they guy retired at 40 years old and have 1.1 mil and have been withdrawing from there?

What if we have self driving Bezza Grab?

Capt. Marble — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 09:36:14 +0800

What if Perodua produce self driving Bezza Grab EV?
Will you guys accept it or still prefer our local drivers?

Usually the percentage of cost of transport goes to the driver is more than 50%. With the self driving AI cars combo with EV charging, the entire industry will change which will eventually result in the automation of transport and reduction of cost of transport altogether. Idle taxis will self park and charge at designated locations (night parking spot) and will only move on demand (early morning when demand is high). This will slowly replace our need for personal transport as the cost of maintenance of private vehicles are always on the rise and will put many to reconsider owning 2-3 vehicles per household. This will also eliminate the issue of parking spots and the ever increasing parking fees. This will be in line with our nations green initiative.

In terms of mental health, we can also say good bye to driving stress and other mental illness that associated with driving.

Apparently our fresh graduates are having issues and we must help them.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5457838

Lets say the company has 2.5k allocated for a job. Should it hire...

2.5k for 1 person? (Higher min salary but can only hire 1 person?)
1.25k for 2 person? (Hire 2 person but with lower min salary?)

Is it better for 2 person to be hired and work themselves up the salary scale?
OR
Hire only 1 person but pay him more and left the other one jobless.

Remember, nobody stays at min salary. But if the person has no job at all, that's when things starts to turn grey.
