- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 7 hours ago:
Judging a captive market for not being able to break free from a monopoly is just another firm of oppression, buddy.
- Comment on Airbus previews next-gen airliner with bird-inspired wings 4 days ago:
Plot twist: And they’ll stick pack their passengers like sardines.
- Comment on Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries 1 week ago:
It’s the old spam problem again. Spammers pass the cost of their customers to their victims, while AI bots pass the cost of their crawling to the sites they crawl (without authorization).
I see no easy solution for this.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
I can testify on that.
In the last two years, I’ve discovered VTubers and streamers in general.
I’ve discovered Geega’s tech talks, Deme’s videogame playthroughs, Michi Mochievee’s amazing (and shocking) IRL lore, VShojo group gaming sessions, Dokibird’s third wheel viral video, Ironmouse’s gremlin moments with Connor, Melody getting raided at the most inopportune times, Henya’s Minecraft trolling exploits, Veedal and Camila’s hopecore video, Neuro-sama’s singing and otherwise general roasting comments on human VTubers, and wholesome gaming streamers like Beacon of Nick.
Not to mention a number of woodworking youtubers teaching about, or otherwise making mistakes when building or restoring furniture.
There’s content for everyone, and traditional TV doesn’t even come close.
It’s like stepping out of a boring office into Alice’s Wonderland.
The creativity is out there and it’s a joy to see what can be without corporate meddling.
- Comment on AI startup Synthesia says it's creating a $1M stock pool to pay actors with equity for the use of their likeness, a first for the AI industry. 1 week ago:
Why would they even want money from a fixed pool?
Give them percentages of the sales.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
“The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.”
Users will search for new places. The fact that we are here is proof.
Build it, and they will come.
- Comment on Eerily realistic AI voice demo sparks amazement and discomfort online 3 weeks ago:
Interesting.
Now if they plugged this into an intelligent agent powered by expert systems instead of a conversational parrot we might start to have actual futuristic AI applications.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 4 weeks ago:
Civility is what is demanded of the oppressed after the oppressors robbed, assaulted and threatened. No more. ✊

Oh fuck off, bootlicker.

- Comment on What is the best looking retro console or PC? 4 weeks ago:
NGL, that fine-wood version of the Atari looked so slick. Too bad I only got the cheap plastic one.
- Comment on Robot with 1,000 muscles twitches like human while dangling from ceiling 5 weeks ago:
A 500-watt electric pump serves as the robot’s “heart,” pushing fluid at 40 standard liters per minute.
As usual, when you read the article you stumble upon a gigantic technical hurdle. 😕
- Comment on (ROOST) Robust Open Online Safety Tools: Google, OpenAI, Roblox, and Discord raised $27M+ to provide free, open-source tools for improving child safety online. 1 month ago:
You mean cemsorship and espionage in the name of child safety?
Because I’ve heard that one before… too many times.
And it’s quite sus that this happens the first month of Trump’s office.
No, I’m not buying it.
- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 2 months ago:
And by “citizens” you mean slaves.
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 5 months ago:
following its acquisition from Sony
Has anything good EVER come from big company acquisitions AT ALL?
Geocities -> acquired by Yahoo -> crap -> death Youtube -> acquired by Google -> ad crap Blogger -> acquired by Google -> crap Macromedia -> acquired by Adobe -> Monopoly crap Washington Post -> acquired by Bezos -> political crap MySQL -> Acquired by Oracle -> copyright crap Github -> acquired by Microsoft -> crap Reddit -> acquired by Conde Nast -> political crap Twitter -> acquired by Musk -> utter crap
Every single time I see a cool startup get bought by a big player, all I can see is the service going to shit.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 5 months ago:
It’s one thing to be uncooperative with Linux development.
A very different thing is to introduce vulnerabilities into existing working code.
- Comment on Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text 5 months ago:
Intentional? Better use Negligent. It’s hard to prove intent; knowledge of something going on is much easier to prove.
