- Comment on X advertisers stay away as CEO defends Musk’s “go f*** yourself” interview 11 months ago:
The concept of speaking freely is not exclusive to legislation. Musk specifically bought this platform because, according to himself, he saw it as an important place for human discourse and the freedom to speak your mind was being inhibited by the policies around moderation.
- Comment on X advertisers stay away as CEO defends Musk’s “go f*** yourself” interview 11 months ago:
Musk couldn’t care less about free speech. He has implemented a policy that bans you for using the word “cisgender” while he responds to nazi propaganda with personal admiration.
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
Pretty much. Meanwhile other stores engage in actual behaviour that deserves an anti-trust lawsuit like buying up developer studio’s and making their games exclusive to their own platforms. Or paying devs to make games exclusive to their store temporarily. You know, things that actually screw the consumer over.
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 11 months ago:
Valve has been the market leader for years and still hasn’t let the consumer down. Their business strategy comes down to offering us the best possible service. Meanwhile crappy stores like Epic Games try to lure you in with free games and timed exclusives and I still gave up on their featureless mess of a platform.

Civilians? Never heard of 'em!
- Comment on YouTuber Jirard (a.k.a. The Completionist) has been accused of keeping and hoarding charity donations 1 year ago:
He’s already caught in a lie. Even if his unbelievable story that he, the director of the charity, was unaware the charity never did anything charitable for as long as it has existed, he still lied about knowing where the money went for all those years to the donators and CONTINUED TO DO SO AFTER HE ADMITTED HE KNEW ABOUT IT.
Now he claims that he has been looking for worthy charities for over a year while he could easily just donate the money to the charities he has been talking about for years already.
- Comment on How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults) 1 year ago:
You were commiting fraud. He did nothing wrong by reporting you. Don’t want to get reported? Don’t commit fraud.
I’d agree if they were colleagues/strangers. I would never report a friend for that. I’d voice my opinion at the most but reporting them is effectively nuking the friendship.
- Comment on How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults) 1 year ago:
Are you sure you were ever friends? I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy that way.
I’d just straight up tell him to leave you the fuck alone.
- Comment on Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. 1 year ago:
As if they’ll lower the price once they’ve recouped the R&D costs ten times over.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
That’s some twisted reasoning by the judge. Children shouldn’t get into a stranger’s car regardless of their gender.
The notion that this girl was acting safe because she thought the stranger was a woman is ridiculous.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
No one’s going to prison you baby. Free speech is us being allowed to criticize Rowling for being a hateful bigot with a persecution complex.
- Comment on JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns 1 year ago:
The prosecution complex is real. No one’s suing you for using the wrong pronouns you bigot.
In fact, I’m almost entirely sure that no one’s ever asked Rowling to use specific pronouns because no queer person could stand being around her for longer than a minute.
- Comment on Philosophy meme 1 year ago:
What? So just because I happen to agree with your stance, I also have to concede that there’s such a thing as objective morality?
Morality is subjective by definition.

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit.
- Comment on 'Young people are hustlers': Gen Z 'willing to do what they need to' to make ends meet 1 year ago:
Alternarive title: new generations are so utterly fucker that they’re forced to work multiple jobs to earn the right to survive in the dystopian hellscape that’s been created befire their birth.
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
He made a thousand dollar donation in support of proposition 8, a constitutional amendment in California that strips gay people of the right to marry. He then proceeded to argue that such a donation does not make him a bigot or an enemy of LGBTQ+ people, because he’s a delusional piece of filth.
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
The fact that their founder wants to ban gay marriage is enough reason for me to avoid it like the plague.
- Comment on Over just a few months, ChatGPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2%, study finds. Researchers found wild fluctuations—called drift—in the technology’s abi... 1 year ago:
This paper is pretty unbelievable to me in the literal sense. First of all they couldn’t even bother to check for simple spelling mistakes. Second, all they’re doing is asking whether a number is prime or not and then extrapolating the results to be representative of solving math problems.
But most importantly I don’t believe for a second that the same model with a few adjustments over a 3 month period would completely flip performance on any representative task. I suspect there’s something seriously wrong with how they probe the models.
