- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 6 days ago:
No, I said nuance is important. That’s why I don’t think the devs are villains. But logically you can’t get a “no AI” award if you used AI. It’s be like entering a handknitted blanket contest and using a machine to start the first row. It’s not “100% handmade” anymore.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 6 days ago:
Exactly this. I’m not making a moral judgement, just a logical one. They used AI, thus don’t qualify. Feel free to debate whether that award should be that way, but that’s how it is right now.

Except that they used the placeholder AI textures so that they would have a functional build to test on. They didn’t just try it and decide it didn’t work. They literally used it produce part of the rough draft and even shipped the game with some of those placeholder textures accidentally still in there. It was actively used in this instance to “do work”.
It wasn’t “well let me see what this looks like… No that’s all wrong… Nevermind”. It was “well let’s get this AI to make some placeholders so we can continue working on this and we’ll slap the real textures in later”. Literally removing work from a human, which is the complaint of anti-AI people. Funny enough, I’m pro-AI and even I’m agreeing with the anti-AI people here. You want a “no AI was used” award? Then don’t ever use AI. Simple.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 1 week ago:
I wish we treated corporate crimes as personal crimes committed by the CEO. If they want the cover of personhood, then they get everything that comes with that. See how fast they want to return to being corporations. As it is now, they get the best of both worlds as it suits them.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 1 week ago:
I hate that so much. Being “people” they can essentially “out-compete” actual people in the political process. It’s very much “anything you can do I can do better”. That’s why any solution has to target them directly.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 2 weeks ago:
ok apparently we do in fact tax tools. And I can see how AI, being on the cloud, might not normally fall under computer equipment or other things that would be taxed, this needing it to be specifically included in tax law. Fuck me on that one.
I’ll give you that.
BUT
I still stand by this being a bandaid to a much larger problem concerning capitalists exploiting the labor of many and not being required to give everyone fair pay/equity. The inequality between the workforce and the ownership class is the problem. Them using AI is just their current tool of oppression, but not their only.
We need to address the root cause and directly tax the billionaires. And remove stock backed loans or at least realize their gains and tax them whenever they do use them as collateral for a loan. Shouldnt be able to claim unrealized gains and use it for collateral at the same time.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 2 weeks ago:
This is a moronic take. Do we also tax tools when they make a 4 person job a 1/2 person job? This is just an ass backwards way of approaching the wealth inequality and poor working conditions issues by focusing on a tool instead of the system itself.

And it all comes full circle
(For those who don’t know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)

Honestly, I care a dick load more about Myanmar and enabling genocide than “but think of the children!”. That’s one of the laziest and most misued calls to action and at this point, I honestly dgaf when I hear it. It’s just propaganda at this point.
Don’t be so quick to stereotype us. You’re insulting those of use who do pay attention.
- Comment on Scheduling is hard 3 weeks ago:
Just so you know, this is often referred to as the “Bus Factor”, aka “how many employees would need to get hit by a bus for us to suffer a catastrophic loss of knowledge/manpower?” Way too many places have a bus factor of 1, meaning if that single employee isn’t available for whatever reason, everything around them grinds to a halt. You usually want that number to be BIG as often as possible.

I run a cheaper Bee-Link mini PC for mine with an attached hard drive array. They really don’t need much power. Storage is your biggest issue(I’m up to ~40TB)
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 4 weeks ago:
Mine runs on a mini PC(NUC) hooked up to a hard drive array for the storage. So it’s basically a tiny PC and another box full of hard drives(not required, but you’ll need space somehow…). Pc was around $250.
Very easy and you don’t need to set up an actual “server rack”. Hell, you can use an old laptop.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 2 months ago:
For me is suffered from “show, don’t tell” problems. There are numerous weeks long skips between scenes and you’re just supposed to understand that Joel and Ellie became close during that time. But as a player, you’re basically being asked to babysit someone you’ve known for 10 minutes. It was basically one long escort mission and the “OMG SO AMAZING SCENE” is… giraffes walking by. Like really? That’s what it takes to wow people? Some giraffes walking outside the building???
The world was a generic apocalypse setting, the “story” can be described in a few bullet points, and the big “emotional gut punch” at the end is so cliche.
I’ll die on the hill that it didn’t do a single groundbreaking thing. Nothing about the game wasn’t already done before and better. It’s the equivalent of a summer blockbuster movie: a fun mindless take on an idea but otherwise generic.
- Comment on bet you can think of more 3 months ago:
Main backups are only done a few times a year. I just grabbed this years and last years for now. I would suggest multiple versions just so you can potentially cross reference and see what changed between updates. For example, what was removed can be just as informative as what was added.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 4 months ago:
And I think you’re sucking corporate dick calling it a tune in the first place. So I guess we disagree. Is BMVs heated seats subscription a tune too?
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 4 months ago:
And I’m saying “you can have software A or software B(and only those choices - both approved by the manufacturer)”, is not the same as tuning each individual setting and the freedom you have in doing so. Call it what it is, an alternate approved ECU map. Calling it a “tune” is giving them WAY too much credit and overshadows the main point: lack of control. This doesn’t give you control, it takes away and charges you for the privilege.
People mentioning classic tuning are glossing over the fact that you typically also change parts to accommodate the new tune and the new limits you are pushing. This “new tune” doesn’t do anything but allow the vehicle to do what it always could but was handicapped in software to charge you more for.
Stop bootlicking and call this scam what it is.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 4 months ago:
Nope. With tuning you can bypass the safety limits as well. You can easily tune the car to be unsafe or suffer extreme wear.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 4 months ago:
So I tried watching it and never saw them close the camera app or restart the phone, so again, waiting on some actual proof with some science behind it rather than “dude totally said so”. That only proves that the software controlling the picture adjustments has been sent out of whack(as evidenced by the fact that it would show true colors eventually when pointed at something else). If the pixels were “dead”, they wouldn’t reset. We have a separate phrase for that. It’s “stuck pixel”.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 4 months ago:
This is my thought: unless everyone uses it, they just have to track the one glowing dude. Eventually you’ll be in front of a camera or person who will identify you clearly, and it will be that much easier because you’re glowing.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 4 months ago:
Even that was debated. No one proved it continued when you took another video, just that it broke the video of the lidar itself.
- Comment on It's 2025, the year we decided we need a widespread slur for robots 4 months ago:
Especially when a “hard r” word is used. You’ll never convince me that’s not a coincidence. It’s just “funny racism”.
- Comment on It's 2025, the year we decided we need a widespread slur for robots 4 months ago:
Proving once again that humans desire an out-group to ridicule. We have very animal vehaviours and we delude ourselves into thinking we’re “enlightened”.
- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 5 months ago:
Cool. So you’re gonna fight made up things with more made up things and no one’s gonna believe you because, well, you’re a liar. Also love the all caps. So scary. Really terrified me over here. Hey, isn’t that how fascists get their way? By yelling and fear and intimidation? Oh wow, it’s like you’re becoming what you hate. Huh. How strange. It’s almost like there are people warning you not to become the monster you fight and here you are putting on fangs and fur…
You’re a tool 😂
- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 5 months ago:
Because actual facts matter. You can’t fight a fantasy. You have to fight the actual laws/orders/etc as they are, not what you imagined them to be in your head. Just because one side doesn’t follow logic doesn’t mean you get to disregard it too.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 5 months ago:
Something I didn’t see mentioned: say you make a fakenlist, redacting the people you want to protect. What about the people you are now throwing under the bus? First your fake evidence has to make it past all of their lawyers scrutiny and hope you’re not revealed for your con, and then you have to hope that these people don’t have evidence that they can use to throw you under the bus as well. Releasing anyone’s name is likely to cause many more names to come out and the domino effect is way too unpredictable. It’s truly some mutually assured destruction.

Bullshit. In another comment you literally complain about them posting comments and not fixing this because in your words it should take less time to just fix it. You also say that their response(or lack of) to this specific post is interesting to you as proof of their inner motivations.
You’re so full of shit you can’t even keep it straight since you posted this an hour ago.

Oh I abso-fucking-lutely can imagine seeing someone spamming me with DMs or making a public post to try and shame me instead of commenting on the actual source project going straight into my “ignore this twat” pile. This post is just a cry for attention. You’re trying to be some sort of hero, saving us from evil or some shit.
Go make a GitHub request like a reasonable normal person and stop cluttering up others feeds with this inane bs.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 5 months ago:
And that’s all for analyzing statements. You can’t just do that to some words and discover objective truth out of nowhere, so I’m not sure what you think you’re accomplishing here. What you’re linking is more analogous to the code that underlies an AI(if/while loops and whatnot). Reasoning is closer to the scientific method of forming a hypothesis and whatnot than anything you linked.
You basically just pointed out that there’s a math system for logic. Neat.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I’ve been thinking this for awhile. When people say “AI isn’t really that smart, it’s just doing pattern recognition” all I can help but think is “don’t you realize that is one of the most commonly brought up traits concerning the human mind?” Pareidolia is literally the tendency to see faces in things because the human mind is constantly looking for the “face pattern”. Humans are at least 90% regurgitating previous data. It’s literally why you’re supposed to read and interact with babies so much. It’s how you learn “red glowy thing is hot”. It’s every annoying person who has endless “did you know?” facts. Science is literally “look at previous data, iterate a little bit, look at new data”.
None of what AI is doing is truly novel or different. But we’ve placed the human mind on this pedestal despite all the evidence to the contrary. Eyewitness testimony, optical illusions, the hundreds of common fallacies we fall prey to… Our minds in credibly fallible and are really just a hodgepodge of processes masquerading as “intelligence”. We’re a bunch of instincts in a trenchcoat.
