- Comment on Why aren't all rooms holodecks? 1 day ago:
Hey now if we’re using the practical applications of the tech then the warp field emitters could be used to simply tear ships in half with as much or less energy than it takes to move the ship in the first place, or cause planetary cores to collapse into micro black holes, or create an inverted artifical event horizon around the ship making it physically impossible for weapons fire to pass through it because the direction of ‘through’ simply no longer exists.
- Comment on Meta claims torrenting pirated books isn’t illegal without proof of seeding 1 week ago:
Hey now some of us just have wildly shit upload speeds and couldn’t hope to reach 1:1 without spending an entire year seeding a single movie.
- Comment on Business school professors trained an AI to judge workers' personalities based on their faces. 1 week ago:
Its also affected by which direction the sun hits your house from, your commute to work (if applicable) and what kind of diet you had when growing up.
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t the boeing guy pretty explicitly state that he was not suicidal to family and friends right before he died?
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide 2 weeks ago:
We got some of it, its just that killer drones and SI aren’t as cool on this side of the screen, and the cyberware is only for rich people (though there is a growing 3D printed movement for amputees) That said with some craft skills we can at least make the cool punk armor and kneepads and have it be reasonably functional, even deploy a blade if you’re ambitious, though more predator than mantis in that regard.
Be the change you want to see.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure he’s now functionally the worlds richest man (including oligarchs with a lot of hidden wealth) what with his newly aquired un-supervised access to 6 trillion in US government funds.
- Comment on Laws only matter if you're not rich. 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if this is the right guy but iirc he also outright had permission to download material? Like it straight up wasn’t a crime but they decided to prosecute him for it anyway.
- Comment on A 25-Year-Old Is Writing Backdoors Into The Treasury’s $6 Trillion Payment System. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 3 weeks ago:
It was also kind of sort of every other first world economy getting bombed into the ground twice in a row which left the US as the only major manufacturing centre for a long time and able to reap massive benefits from that position.

Don’t we have some of the best eyes in the entire animal kingdom except for birds?
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 3 weeks ago:
Is it more understandable can civ 6? I’m a fan of goddamn stellaris and could competently play civ 5 but civ 6 is like being beaten half to death with a textbook on quantumn physics and then told to sit an exam. The tutorial prepares you for the game about as much as a stick of chewing gum prepares you for the beating.
- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 2 months ago:
Same banality of evil that causes millionares row in New York to mostly just be a bunch of empty skyscrapers. Property makes an excellent investment vehicle and restricting the supply keeps prices high.
- Comment on New Housebuilding in the UK Held Back by Pollution from Factory Farms 2 months ago:
More like the UK government (and every damn government since I’ve been alive) just hates housebuilding and will come up with any reason to prevent it.
- Comment on For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value. 3 months ago:
I agree the main story isn’t that re-playable, though I’d say phantom liberty is worth 2 playthroughs because the endings diverge pretty heavily and actually have gameplay to go with them. I find the best way to play it is to do minnimal main story, crank up the difficulty, maybe install some mods and then play it as an rpg with all the side gigs.

- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 3 months ago:
Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.
- Comment on Eat lead 4 months ago:
Counter handwave, any god that would do that is a jerk who doesn’t deserve worship. (Actually like 99% of the shit most faiths deities do falls into that category.)
- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 4 months ago:
Technically zoidberg should be further right on the training axis than everyone else on it combined, He’s literally the best doctor in the universe for every single species other than humans.
- Comment on Infinite Suffering 4 months ago:
Well their heads aren’t on the tracks and they’re immortal, I bet we could rig some kind of device to make them total praplegics and then work on a direct neural interface so they can use computers while they lay there endlessly having their bodies painlessly trisected.
- Comment on Might as well go cyberpunk, I guess. 4 months ago:
Cyberpunk public transport usually only exists because most people can’t afford cars though, and the routes pretty much exclusively go to the general locations of major employers, sometimes only being available to employees of those companies (they still have pay a fare too of course)
- Comment on Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory? 4 months ago:
I supposed in a liberal democracy that would be the case, but in reality the US and British governments rarely represent more than 1/3 of the population at best; with those being ‘good’ examples of democracy and Netanyahu being investigated for corruption the share of population actually represented by his administration is likely even lower.
- Comment on Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory? 4 months ago:
The way I see it Israel deserved the hell out of Oct 7th for like 50 years of slow motion genocide. Israelis did not though. Institution vs the innocent civillians caught in the crossfire.
- Comment on Climate change 5 months ago:
On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.
- Comment on Climate change 5 months ago:
Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit.
- Comment on There are now more electric cars than gas cars on Norway's roads 5 months ago:
And a lot of smart investment, see the UK for an example of a country that got a 50% share in the exact same oil fields and continues to run itself into the ground to pay oligarchs.

- Comment on UK's first 'teacherless' AI classroom set to open in London 5 months ago:
I bet those kids can’t wait to learn about how issac newton invented the colour yellow when seeing an apple fall from a lemon tree hitting a cow and thus causing him to invent gravity which trapped photons from venus allowing humans to finally have the technology to grow pineapples in canada.
- Comment on Generative AI creates playable version of Doom game with no code 5 months ago:
I really hope this doesn’t catch on, Games are already horifically inefficient, imagine if we started making them like this and a 4090 becomes the minnimum system requirement for goddamn DOOM.

- Comment on First Borderlands 4 Concept Art Revealed at PAX West Showing Off a Glimpse of Its New Worlds 5 months ago:
Good idea bad execution, if it had escalated to raiding a warehouse full of people strapped into vr goggle to up their view numbers and destroying a crowdfunded giant laser to carve their faces on the moon then they could have made for really good villains. Instead we got stale memes, also the final boss fight was somehow worse than BL1.
- Comment on Intel’s Troubles Complicate U.S. Chip Independence 5 months ago:
Nah we want Intel to live so that AMD still has real competition, same reason I’m in favour of Intel getting into the GPU market.
