- Comment on My girlfriend is keeping me a secret from her family. Am I stupid for feeling upset about this? 22 hours ago:
If she knows the backlash will be insane and she still has to live there, totally understandable. Make sure you’re aligned on where to go with this in the future. If she truly wants to choose a life with you she may have to break with her family at some point. You can’t expect her to be ready for that at this time, but you also shouldn’t be strung along if she never sees an actual future with you. Good relationships require honesty on both sides and great communication.

Don’t forget, there’s also people deliberately poisoning ai. Truly doing God’s work.
- Comment on Klarna’s AI replaced 700 workers — Now the fintech CEO wants humans back after $40B fall 2 days ago:
That might be a while. AI cannibalizing itself is a real problem right now and it’s only going to get worse.

I still have a BD-RE drive in my current setup. It almost never sees any use, but it’s definitely nice to have the option should I ever require it.
- Comment on If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd of expected it to take off by now. 4 days ago:
Same way anesthesiology works. We don’t know. We know how to sedate people but we have no idea why it works. AI is much the same. That doesn’t mean it’s sentient yet but to call it merely a text predictor is also selling it short. It’s a black box under the hood.

It’s not anytime soon. It can get like 90% of the way there but those final 10% are the real bitch.
- Comment on YouTube tops Disney and Netflix in TV viewing 1 week ago:
If you curate your Youtube experience decently by subbing to worthwhile creators only it’s damn high quality content.
Never paying Youtube a single cent though. I’ll consider donating to the creators directly (or buying from their store) if their efforts are sufficient.

Sure, but this is the only one future historians will be holding entire seminars on.
- Comment on Palantir’s Idea of Peace 1 week ago:
You touch upon an important subject. If people are going to get serious about protests and organising, they will have to learn to leave their phones at home. Because they will absolutely be used against you at every possible turn.
- Comment on BlackRock is Suing UnitedHealth for Giving “Too Much Care” to Patients After the CEO was Murdered 1 week ago:
I’m fully convinced that if it ever starts looking like he might legitimately walk, he’ll be Epstein’d. They want to keep that option for last resorts only because they understand the optics behind it, but I’m sure it’s not completely off the table.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Oh boy, one of my favorite hyperfixations, Roman coin debasement & inflation! TLDR: the parallels of today and back then are much more than just similar. We’re essentially repeating what happened in the fourth century but on a global scale.
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 1 week ago:
Interestingly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn’t rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.

High-powered lasers have a very wide beam ;)
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 1 week ago:
I’ve had great success with using ChatGPT to diagnose and solve hardware issues. There’s plenty of legitimate use cases. The problem remains that if you ask it for information about something, the only to be sure it’s correct is to actually know what you’re asking about. Anyone without at least passing knowledge of the subject will assume the info they get is correct, which will be the case most of the time, but not always. And in fields like security or medicine, such a small issue could easily have dire ramifications.
- Comment on Comfy cozy 1 week ago:
Small, probably stupid tip, but what the hell. There is an almost surefire way to kill drones without needing a firearm. Buy a high-powered laser (>5W). It obviously won’t be enough to take the drone down, but just a fraction of a second of that beam is enough to permanently destroy the camera. The downside is that the beam is very visible so you’d also be giving away your location. Also works on static cameras like traffic cams, number plate readers, …
- Comment on Comfy cozy 1 week ago:
I don’t think enough people noticed the Trump regime’s demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.
This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they’re all beholden to the same crime lord family.
- Comment on The Copilot Delusion 1 week ago:
Yes, as long as the information you get from the AI is correct. Which we know is absolutely not the case. That is the issue. If AI’s output could be trusted 100% things would be wildly different.

- Comment on What could go wrong? 2 weeks ago:
I suppose this can be mitigated by installing a local LLM that doesn’t phone home. But there’s still a risk of getting downright bad advice since so many LLM’s just tell their users they’re always right or twist the facts to fit that view.
I’ve been guilty of this as well, I’ve used ChatGPT as a “therapist” before. It actually gives decently helpful advice, compared to what’s out there available after a google search. But I’m fully aware of the risks “down the road”, so to speak.
- Comment on Microsoft pulls MS365 Business Premium from nonprofits 2 weeks ago:
The biggest problem with Google’s offerings is their total lack of support.
- Comment on Microsoft pulls MS365 Business Premium from nonprofits 2 weeks ago:
I don’t trust any of these “giving pledges” upon death. In name, their fortunes will pass on to nonprofits. Nonprofits controlled by their family members, which comes down to letting them keep their inheritances tax-free. This even happens in Europe.
- Comment on No machine (or person) can replace the exercise of thinking for yourself. 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely agree, but I’m continuously surprised at how many people don’t WANT to think for themselves. It’s not that they lack the ability or their IQ is too low, they simply have decided to outsource their goddamn morality. That’s perhaps worse than simple ignorance.
- Comment on Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide 3 weeks ago:
That’s a legit societal theory called “accelerationism”. Make everything so awful that people will realize what’s happening and instigate massive backlash.
Except… the first time this was tried, in the 30’s, we got WWII instead of solutions. So maybe not that great of an idea after all.

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

Until you name that “brain” Azatoth and everyone loses their minds.
- Comment on Has Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.
