- Comment on Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Rogue with Posts Suggesting Trump Is a Pedophile and Erika Kirk Is JD Vance in Drag 15 hours ago:
So you’re getting a lot of downvotes and I want to try and give an informative answer.
Its worth noting that a most (it not all) of the people talking about AI being super close to exponential improvement and takeover are people who own or work for companies heavily invested in AI. There’s talk/examples of AI lying or hiding its capabilities or being willing to murder a human to acheive a goal after promising not to. These are not examples of deceit these are simply showcasing that an LLM has no understanding of what words mean or even are, to it they are just tokens to be processed and the words ‘I promise’ hold exactly the same level of importance as ‘Llama dandruff’
I also don’t want to disparage the field as a whole, there are some truly incredible expert systems which are basically small specialized models using a much less shotgun approach to learning compared to LLMs that can achieve some truly incredible things with performance requirements you could even run on home hardware. These systems are absoloutely already changing the world but since they’re all very narrowly focussed and industry/scientific-field specific they don’t grab headlines likes LLMs do.
- Comment on The most outlandish tech CEO quotes from 2025 17 hours ago:
To be fair its absoloutely something you could build in reality within the realms of current science but nowhere near within current logistics or technology we actually have yet. Plus it would take a couple of thousand years and be more of satelite swarm than a solid shell.

I have no idea what’s going on but its always great to see a solo project making progress!
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 1 day ago:
Iirc this is an actual (as in offical and described in legislation) lever the EU can pull, unfortunately regardless of public sentiment many of its leaders are beholden US economic interests.
- Comment on Media zombies would be largely harmless if they lacked teeth and claws. 1 day ago:
This is why there always has to be a virus or something, zombies are just humans minus the most important human survival trait and you’d never have an apocalypse without some kind of handwave for nearly everyone getting turned at once.
- Comment on Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith 3 days ago:
On the air defence note, specialist systems are already amazing at tasks like this and can usually run fine on high end consumer tier hardware (up to a single server rack) rather than data centres with the power requirements of small countries. AI is here to stay but LLMs are absoloutely a bubble.

- Comment on We own the hardware, but not the experience anymore — Big Tech keeps building smarter, more connected devices, but the user experience feels more intrusive, more confusing, and less human 4 days ago:
My dream phone would basically be a phone jammed into a small handheld console with a big battery. Like stuff a pixel into a gameboy advance and that’d be perfect.

Almost like we’ve already pretty much optimized the design and trying to fix what isn’t broken just leads to stupid consiquences?

When is that movie set again? I want to mark my calender for the day the US finally gets a compitent president.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
I’d agree with that when it works. When linux setup works its great, when it doesn’t work getting it working again is obscure as hell, Windows almost always sets up correctly first time but its obscure as hell to not make it be kind of shitty.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 week ago:
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. What Linux needs is a straight forward setup. Yes Mint is normally super easy to install but can also randomly just not work due to what is often a very simple issue but one obscure enough that the inexperienced (like me) will take hours or even days of trying different solutions until they find it. I love how light linux is but an extra half a gigabyte in the setup to just innately include solutions to the most common issues would pull in way more people than it would push away.
- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 1 week ago:
Agreed, I modern MMOs feel like they’re designed around a fast track to max level which leaves the game seeming more like a MOBA with a grind gate. We’ve completely lost the journey in favour of rushing to the destination.
Now at the same time runescape was grindy as fuck in a very unfun way but with all our modern advances surely we can make a progression that is long while having moment to moment gameplay thats fun in its own right?

I feel like we need a 2020s razor or something. If the degree of nihilism is greater than the degree of absurdity then its probably true.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 week ago:
Still to optimistic.
You’ll be happy to rent the megacorporation owned and configured remote interface for the corporate remote computing server which you will also happily pay a subscription to access wether you like it or not.
- Comment on Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift. 1 week ago:
I feel like all systems lead to fascism, its the ground state everything decays too and needs to be revived from. Communism decays almost immediately, capitalism takes longer, social democracies take even longer but can have their decay easily catalyzed by nearby fascist or regimes.
- Comment on Devastated PC builder orders DDR5 RAM from Amazon, receives DDR2 and some weights — counterfeit 32GB kit a worrying sign of rising return and sales fraud 2 weeks ago:
Except in the UK for some reason where you can email and message them for months and pay your own damn return shipping and get fucked about and never recieve a refund.

This is the frog answer over there.
- Comment on WHY??? 4 weeks ago:
Because storms want to be circles but any given gas giants atmosphere is basically a series of nothing but storms and when you tile circles you get a hexagonal grid due to the spaces in between them?
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 4 weeks ago:
Idk I’m certain I’m at least smarter than the half of reddit users that are LLMs and thus cannot count the number of Rs in any given fruit.
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 4 weeks ago:
I really find I can’t cheat on an ongoing save even when I think most people would consider it completely justified, an example being when the medusa enemy was first added to terraria it was pretty buggy and could turn you to stone from off screen and through walls (despite explicit patch notes saying it should not do this) so I ended up losing all my gear to an objective bug. Tried save editing it back in but it still ruined the feeling of the save to me.
The only time I can cheat and not ruin my own fun is for testing purposes in games without any kind of creative mode, particularly 4X games which tend to be pretty long and I don’t want to play a several hour game just to test a random theory about how 2 mechanics might interact in a lategame build.
- Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive 4 weeks ago:
To be fair there’s zero evidence for anything outside our own subjective experience of it, we’re just kind of running with the assumption that our subjective experience is an accurate representation of reality.

- Comment on The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" 1 month ago:
Even a genuinely perfect model would immediately skew to bias; the moment some statistical fluke gets incorporated into the training data that becomes self re-enforcing and it’ll create and then re-enforce that bias in a feedback loop.

How about faces the same punishment someone that isn’t an incredibly rich corporation would face? If that’s insurance then sure, if thats jail time then yes someoen should be punished just like anyone else would.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 month ago:
It outright says:
“13% of non-winners switch to favour the right-wing. By contrast, nearly 18% of the winners who get more than 500 pounds switch to the right-wing party”
That is a description of induviduals, 18% of people become more right wing, not 100% of people become 18% more right wing. - Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 month ago:
So I read the study, first of all the paper aknowledges that there’s a several point swing in voting preference between non winners and people who won less than £500 which strongly implies people who play the lottery are more likely to vote right wing to begin with. Secondly even for large wins the swing was only around 18%. At worst money does not make everyone a bad person, more like 1/5 people.
