• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The explanation I saw for this is that fascist rhetoric changes every 5 minutes so AI just can’t keep up with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is a problem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have this smart lightbulb that I got for halloween last year because I thought it’d be cool to make the porch glow purple for trick or treaters. Now I have to replace it because the app that controls it has decided to try and blackmail me for camera and location access and the bulbs default state without the app is to flash on and off in a way seemingly deliberately designed to cause headaches.

  Consdiering the PPE, the Ferries, HS2… Spending immense amounts of money on projects that never get finished seems to perfectly align with british culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its worse than that because assholes tend to be a lot louder, and most average people are lurkers. So AI is the average of a data set that is disproportionately contributed too by assholes.

  So long as its generated by the same (or a better model) it shouldn’t be able to tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leading AI Models Are Completely Flunking the Three Laws of Robotics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of the stories do also include solutions to those same issues, though that also tends to lead to limiting the capabilities of the robots. The message could be interpreted as it being a trade off between versatility and risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come nobody does anything about North Korea?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The earlier half of GenZ typically grew up with mass adoption of computers and phones all over the place so we got to learn how to fix XP every 5 minutes and get cracked games working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA reportedly shelves Need For Speed completely to focus on other projects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly found heats handling atrocious compared to underground, even the grippiest heat care only just barely approaches the feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What name does GenZ get? Born just in time to be power users, born too late to have any power to stop the enshitification. Same non-existent economic prospects as GenX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except Starmer is considered a huge dissapointment and no better than a Tory at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  afaik both are unenforceable since you can only read them after paying for the product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Labour police state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is the point, the last time the UK protested in a big way people were brutall masacred by the government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t we functionally ban all protests under Borris? something about them not being allowed if they inconvenience anyone in any way real or imagined so really you can only have them if you do it alone in a dark closet very quietly, or get permission in which case its not a protest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVIDIA is full of shit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Got my 9070XT at retail (well retail + VAT but thats retail for my country) and my entire PC costs less than a 5090.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signatures skyrocket for Stop Killing Games campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 2 days. (Details on how to help in text body of post)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Signed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people would find new ways to struggle that they actually enjoy and would likely end up contributing. Imagine a couple of thousand people with their new modest but stress free budgets decide to join a yearly potato cannon contest, Sure its not going to invent anything new directly but you now have a bunch of people learning about ballistics and stoichiometry and high pressure engineering all egging eachother on to shoot that potato further. The competition gets more and more fierce and with the much lower stakes people start trying some more out there ideas, before you know it you have a modest but highly effective solution to reliably obtaining the correct gas mixture for something like a combined light gas gun.

  And that’s a deliberately silly example, you’d get a ton more art, people deciding to be athletes, coders, all sorts of hobies that can encourage healthy competition and often benefit society in surprising ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[UK] Police forces to get authoritarian powers to extract data from online accounts⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So is there a way to fill my social media with endless markov chains without:

  • Spamming other users.
  • Just sticking them all in some dedicated channel that would allow them to be easily filtered out.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI might be overkill? I recall back in the day people working out which images where manipulated by the way the underlying flow of colour and pixel layout didn’t line up, each image ends up with a kind of grain of different size and direction. You could spot ads by detecting which image data doesn’t line up with the majority and cutting it out that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been wondering about that, also perhaps a browser where your mouse position has seperate client and software side states? I know a lot of data can be gleaned from mouse movements so if the browser only updated its internal cursor position when you actually clicked that would potentially cut out that source of information?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Chance as in gambling, so often you don’t even get what you pay for even with ‘reputable’ brands. This is particularly bad with appliances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  These days its incresingly ‘capitalism is when you pay money for the chance to have a thing’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rain? I know its not going to fall over and shoot out sparks like a cartoon but rain does mess with visibility and grip, plus this is a robot with a lot of joints and moving parts that’s probably going to be maintained by someone who has to pee in a bottle so the cartoon falling over and shooting sparks isn’t actually out of the question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the web we lost⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it though? Its always far easier to be loud and obnoxious than do something constructive, even with the internet and LLMs, in fact those things are amplifiers which if anything make the attention imbalance even more drastic and unrepresentative of actual human behaviour. In the time it takes me to write this comment some troll can write a dozen hateful ones, or a bot can write a thousand. Doesn’t mean humans are shitty in a 1000/1 ratio, just means shitty people can now be a thousand times louder.

  No need to bother, reddit is already full of entire threads of GPT posts, the megacorps are killing their own product for us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love mint on my old laptop (which I’m using right now) I just wish it was more compatable with newer hardware as neither it nor ubuntu work properly on my new desktop build so I’m stuck on ghost spectre instead.

  Plus government computers are always old as shit so Linux should install nice and easy, give em mint for that windows like UI.
