For americas enemies: Don’t interupt your enemy in the process of making a mistake.
For americas allies: Don’t poke a wounded bear. - Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 6 days ago:
That’s the point though, you wouldn’t need it advertised to you 24/7 because your family and friends would already be all over it.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 1 week ago:
Oh I mean with setup, like I can download ollama and a basic model fine enough and get a generic chat bot. But if I want something that can scan through PDFs with direct citation (like the Nvidia LLM) or play a character then suddenly its all git repositiories and cringey youtube tutorials.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 1 week ago:
I’ve been looking into local models lately, mostly out of vague paranoia that I should get one up and running before it becomes defacto illegal for normal people to own due to some kind of regulatory capture. Seems fairly doable at the momeny though not particularly user friendly.

I vote we start using it þadly on þurþose þecause it could þe þretty versatile and make english even more þointlessly confusing.
- Comment on Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla's robot army. Yes, really. 2 weeks ago:
But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

Do we know why yet? can I get odds on AI generated code being pushed without review?
- Comment on Most of us are the bottom row to the billionaire's pyramid scheme. 2 weeks ago:
This is my worry for how the world ends, eventually the rich people automate everything and fictionalize the entire economy to the same extent as the stock market, no one can buy anything but line must go up so production numbers must increase and we just end up with piles of random products all over the place (guarded by drones of course, can’t have the poors actually using them) like a corporate driven version of the paperclip maximizer only even more bleak.
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 3 weeks ago:
I suppose similar in the sense that the housing bubble involved a bunch of rich idiots speculating on bad debt that had been vaguely washed to make it look good and now we have a bunch of rich idiots speculating on AI based on vague promises that it’ll be good.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 4 weeks ago:
I think part of the issue is that people on the left also tend to see nuances, which means more things to disagree over. Left falls out, right falls in line and all.
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 4 weeks ago:
Same thing unfortunately. No honor in a real fight.
- Comment on it's true! 4 weeks ago:
Clover is honestly fine, its short so even if it spreads into your flowerbeds its not going to do any damage, in fact since its a nitrogen fixer it might even help, and insects like clover a lot more than grass
- Comment on A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman 4 weeks ago:
As a passable quality 3D artist who does it for a living I’ve found AI art (which can do 3D now to some degree) has kind of narrowed the scope for me. If you want generic Unreal style pseudo-realism or disney toon then AI can do that for you* I’ve had to focus much more on creating a unique style and also optimizing my work in ways that AI just doesn’t have the ability to do because they require longer chains of actual reasoning.
For AI in general I think this pattern holds, it can quickly create something generic and increasingly do it without extranious fingers but no matter how much you tweak a prompt its damn near impossible to get a specific idea into image form. Its like a hero shooter with skins VS actually creating your own character.
*Right now AI models use more tris to re-create the default blender cube than my entire lifetime portfolio but I’m assuming that can be resolved since we already have partially automated re-topology tools.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 5 weeks ago:
As with every profession every generation… only this time on their own because every company forgot what employee training is and expects every to be born with 5 years of experience.

The framing suggests they’re meant to be the good guys?
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 1 month ago:
The fun part about shitty people as they can be really good at pretending not to be shitty if it means they can be extra shitty down the line. Its a trope for a reason.
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 1 month ago:
I tried watching the animated show recently, and its basically Wakanda throughout history stealing vibranium from other civilisations because they feel entitled to complete control over the element, usually with large amounts of colateral damage and theft of deeply important cultural artifacts in the process. I assume there’s some alegory I’m missing but they just come off as assholes.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 1 month ago:
My understanding is that Unreal is a garbage engine for optimization at face value, it has a lot of useful tools and a lot of incorrect/dated documentation for those tools some of which are also just kind of configured wrong as their default settings. If effort is put into optimization to configure things correctly and only use the various tools like nanite or lumen in their actual use cases (rather than just throwing them on everything) you can get some pretty fantastic optimization.
TLDR: Good but complex tools marketed as low effort with bad defaults and exagerated marketing.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
I found 1 and 2 were games I could both replay at least once. With 2 the only bad bit to replay is bricks area where the devs just spammed a ton of very spongy enemies in a big map. 3 had more fun vault hunters mechanically but even during the first playthrough so much of it feels like filler content (like literally ALL of Hammerlocks area) and the final boss is somehow even more dissapointing than BL1, trying to play through a second time is at least 2/3 “Oh god not this bit again”.

Its worth remembering that EU fines are not one and done, if you don’t fix the problem they fine you repeatedly.

Isn’t this the 1 letter typo where removing it makes the game massively better?
- Comment on If the UK government proposed to increase tax by 1% and make trains free would you be in favour? 1 month ago:
Do I get a magical garauntee that it would happen? Because otherwise no given the state of governance; they would absoloutely raise taxes then talk about making trains free until everyones forgotten and then maybe make trains cheaper for a specific age group for a while with that reduction being completely eaten by ticket price rises within 2 years.

So the takeaway is that violent protest is 100x more legal than peaceful protest right?
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 1 month ago:

- Comment on Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment? 1 month ago:
I feel like LLMs didn’t hit a deadend so much as people started trying to use them in completely inappropriate applications.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' 1 month ago:
And finally, when they employ zero people, and no one has any money to buy their product they will have finally hit infinite profits. Seriously though it doesn’t look like we’re doing UBI any time soon and I doubt the ultra rich would kill off everyone on purpose because half the point seems to be to have people they can feel superior too. Are we just going to wipe ourselves out in a weird paperclip maximizer scenario where we pile up a ton of shit no one can actually buy but has to keep being made to make a line go up?
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 month ago:
I feel like 1 had the best vibe, 2 had the best story (but also the worst balance) and 3 had the most fun vault hunter designs.
