Agreed, sadly they still meet the definition. As much as it pains me to admit I’m the same species as them.

What the shit is that headline? Humans caused ALL of this! The fucking robots aren’t in charge yet.

Because many people believe any use of gen AI is unethical due to how it was created, in addition to how the people in charge are using it.
In other words, using it in any capacity is a bad look to a lot of creatives. And other rational people who can foresee the devastating impact it’s going to have on art of all types, government, and society at large.
- Comment on What are some cool infections? 3 days ago:
Personally I’d go with a large painful burn scar with an interesting story, or a battle wound that reopens from time to time or causes some other limitations. “It never fully healed” ala Frodo Baggins.
A person walking around in premodern times with a semi permanent but nonlethal infection would strain believability for me.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
Cause most of us have no way to pressure them. What am I going to do, threaten to take away the $0 I’ve paid them over the last 20 years?
But, you know, that’s exactly the reason they don’t care about our whining.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
You’re not wrong but Mozilla is real busy making Firefox another bad choice among many bad choices.
Maybe it’s time to go back to BBSes. This whole internet thing kinda sucks now.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 1 week ago:
This is what I have used for the last few years (after being a Firefox user for almost 2 decades), and yeah we’re probably safe for a little while, but it seems the writing is on the wall. The LibreWolf team can only do so much when the core browser is constantly being enshittified. I hoped this was a flash in the pan thing and LibreWolf would save us until Mozilla regained its senses, but it seems they’ve gone batshit.
I too will be keeping my eyes peeled for what to use next.

I’ve found if you don’t put the blindfold around your arm it stays just as easy to throw things as before.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 1 week ago:
You are correct.
Agriculture, shipping, and power generation together dwarf the petroleum used by road vehicles.

They kinda did this in Strange Days.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
He just wanted an excuse to virtue signal. Just read the rant he had queued up once the comments started. He’s complaining about racists’ reactions to something, not the thing itself. He’s incorrect in his assertion that these stories aren’t being written or filmed.

Stop. You’re interfering with his sense of superiority.

Something any (real, trained, educated) developer who has even touched AI in their career could have told you.
- Comment on Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers? 2 weeks ago:
The common man has no way to solve it.
The real solution would be disband police unions, create high and rigorous training standards that are enforced, create permanent consequences for being a bad cop (i.e. you can’t just go to the department one town over), and purge the ranks of the old guard that keep the corrupt system moving as it does. It requires a full reset to correct within a generation, which means we’ll never see it. Because that course of action has to come from political leadership, and that obviously won’t happen, so in the current reality all we can try to do is live our lives while avoiding the police as much as possible.
Not all societal problems have a feasible solution. Doesn’t mean we can’t point out the problems.
- Comment on Are people with High functioning autism allowed to become police officers? 2 weeks ago:
This guy thinks cops follow laws and therefore the laws are the problem.
I used to think that cops were trying to do the right thing, to help people.
They aren’t. When your eyes open up to that, you’ll probably be sad. I was. But it’s a fact. The occasional good cop (they do exist) is just a drop of clean water in a sewer.

Whaaaaaat? It has a far better signal to noise ratio than those ‘other’ platforms. As long as you’re into Star Trek memes and Linux.

Calling someone a liar isn’t a great way to start a discussion.

The arrogance in some of those quotes. Holy shit.
Jensen, you and your entire company could disappear without a trace, today, and the world would be just fine.
Probably better, in fact.

Ground Control (released in 2000) had the coolest artillery units of any RTS I ever played. And I pretty much played them all. The units fired in a long ballistic trajectory that was just really awesome to watch. And IIRC massing the units and firing at a target would make the artillery blanket the area, not all just hit the same place you clicked.

IF there are algorithms. So still…. nothing proven either way.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Agreed. However the linked article has the same problem with unprovable assumptions. At least in the way they described it to this amateur. The thing that stuck out to me the most was their assertion that everything must be algorithmic in nature. I would say, as someone living in the supposed simulation, it is impossible to determine something we’ve seen or measured is NOT algorithmic in nature, because we have no access to the algorithms.
But yeah… this ain’t a showerhought.

And the one you make at home is always better anyway. Just requires more labor.
- Comment on If this has been asked recently just link it no need to be mean, because I am emotionally sensitive right now. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 1 month ago:
They don’t even think about that.
If they thought they could get away with shooting brown people and liberals in the streets, they would be.
They’re still working up to it, while the opposition leadership sits on their hands and whimpers, for the most part.
