So you’re telling me if I stop breathing I’ll never get older? I’m in!
- Comment on Everyone assumes it's game over, but Intel's huge bet on 18A is still very much game on 2 months ago:
As long as they don’t fuck it up in a similar fashion to seemingly every other thing they have tried for a couple decades.
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
Assuming it takes its answer from search results, and the search results are all affiliate marketing sites that just want you to click on a link and buy something, this makes perfect sense.
- Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire. 3 months ago:
I’m not saying it’s good (because it’s not) but I’m unfortunately pretty certain they’re correct.
- Comment on Major shifts at OpenAI spark skepticism about impending AGI timelines 3 months ago:
Is language conscious?
Are atoms?
I don’t know if LLMs of a large enough size can achieve (or sufficiently emulate) consciousness, but I do know that we barely know anything about consciousness, let alone it’s limits.

“Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?”
- Comment on We may clown on him a lot but it's genuinely quite dystopian how much power Elon Musk has. 5 months ago:
Me when I first read who the narrator was.
- Comment on hotwheels sisyphus 5 months ago:
And now I want to know the deep meaning behind all of those Chinese knockoff tee shirts that I thought were just poorly translated.

- Comment on Why are male social workers so different? 6 months ago:
He was just spit balling
- Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants 6 months ago:
whatever the hell ‘X’ is supposed to be
It’s the social media company he founded, obviously.
- Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants 6 months ago:
Or, if you’re trying to make it more directly comparable to 17 million (because humans aren’t great at implicitly comparing that many zeros), that would be 56,000 millions. It’s not how we normally say it, but 17 vs 56,000 feels different than 17 million vs 56 billion.

No no no, we need to dig down to the magma to release the pressure!
- Comment on Wise words from Master 6 months ago:
Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.
- Comment on ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it 6 months ago:
Which is why AI should tell end users “I don’t know” more often.
If you feel this is a simple solution, I strongly suggest you write up exactly how you do this and make yourself a billion dollars.
- Comment on Evolution isn't linear. 6 months ago:
Technically, it is very much linear. It’s just it doesn’t always go the way we feel like it should.
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 6 months ago:
The lesson heard is probably “more sequels”
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
From what I understand the bonus requires shareholder approval…so the people making that choice are the same ones watching the stock tank and continuing to hold (or buy more)…
I don’t know why one would do that without thinking Elon is playing some super-advanced 5D Checkers.
- Comment on YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream 7 months ago:
Idk, it’s Google, so I think it’s more likely they just drop it entirely and start a new project with the same features…
- Comment on YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream 7 months ago:
Thanks Gemini, I hope they take a while before enshittefying you…
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
I check on the calculator I have with me at all times. It’s $24.50
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
AI is going to destroy art the same way Photoshop, or photography, or pre-made tubes of paints, destroyed art. It’s a tool, it helps people take the idea in their head and put it in the world. And it lowers the barrier to entry, now you don’t need years of practice in drawing technique to bring your ideas to life, you just need ideas.
If AI gets to a point that it can give us creative, original, art that sparks emotion in novel ways…well we probably also made a super intelligent AI and our list of problems is much different than today.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 7 months ago:
If I purchase a TV, that I now own, and after I own it the company “updates” my TV that I now have to watch ads in order to use the TV I purchased without that condition?
At minimum it’s a breach of contract
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 7 months ago:
Increasing profit margins…which is the thing our society puts above all else.
- Comment on Microsoft Copilot has been banned for use by US House staff members, at least for now 7 months ago:

- Comment on ‘Mamma Mia!’ Stage Star Sara Poyzer Replaced By AI On BBC Show To Recreate Voice Of Dying Person — Update 7 months ago:
I’m not making any moral judgements one way or the other, but I have a strong feeling kids today are just going to grow up with this stuff and it will be normalized and we are going to be the weird old prudes who have a weird sense of personal identity connected to our physical appearance and voice while they’re going around looking like SpongeBob and talking like The Fonz.
