• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new trailer for sandbox strategy game Antimatter shows off the epic scale⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Man that trailer shows like 3 or 4 wildly inconsistent art styles in the game. What’s going on?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Zealand eases visa rules for 'digital nomads' to boost tourism⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  All the digital nomads in NZ already do this. It’s not like the government watches what you’re doing on your laptop while you’re in the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Medical Device Company Tells Hospitals They're No Longer Allowed to Fix Machine That Costs Six Figures⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s not crazy to say “you fix it, you assume liability” right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nhentai Fights Back: Drops Bombshell Evidence Showing They Were Granted Permission To Host 'Pirated' Content⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of those are legitimately good points. I’d love to see more legally sound piracy in action.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VLC player demos real-time AI subtitling for videos⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least this is a legitimately good use case for AI that improves accessibility.

  Oh, I forgot this is airing now. That’s a pleasant surprise!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨41% of companies worldwide plan to reduce workforces by 2030 due to AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That being said, open weights models have done fairly well standing up close to the closed source ones. As long as the weights are open, and can run on consumer hardware, it will be a democratized tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not sexist, it’s threatening.

  While you may mean well, the vast majority of times a woman is complemented by an acquaintance or stranger, it’s because that person is trying to hit on the woman.

  You might think “shouldn’t that be flattering?” No, it really isn’t. Every single woman I know has countless stories about how they have been harassed by desperate men trying to get into their pants. If you could barely walk into a public place without random strangers harassing you, you’d be soured on the idea too. To further compound the problem, men are on average bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than women.

  So as an example, I was out with my girlfriend once, walking down a crowded street. There was a group of people we had to walk around so we went single file. In less than 30 seconds, she already had some shitty man cat calling her with loaded compliments. I shoved some people aside to make sure I was standing next to her again and he shut up immediately. This is just a fact of life for most women.

  Men may not understand this because they only very rarely receive random compliments, but it hits very different as a woman.

  There is an appropriate time to compliment women, and it’s after you have already built up a trusting friendship. Besides, a compliment means more coming from a friend than a stranger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup will brick $800 emotional support robot for kids without refunds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s where the term “catatonic” comes from, or so I’ve heard, and it’s a reflex because mother cats carry their babies by the scruff of their neck. From what I understand it’s totally harmless.

  Someone who actually knows these things can correct me if I’m wrong of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1K a month is a good deal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There will be no help for at least four years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside The Heart Of The Magnetocaloric Heat Pump Of The Future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect a magnetocaloric system also has a much longer lifespan than traditional systems. I’d be curious to know what parts of the system are likely to break.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frog's Gift⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh absolutely! Making politicians fear gun violence at a personal level is the only way to enact actual gun control policies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frog's Gift⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehhh, with a large enough population you’re bound to find someone crazy enough to do it for no reason at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As AI and megaplatforms take over, the hyperlinks that built the web may face extinction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  BRB, raising another round of capital to integrate NFTs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As AI and megaplatforms take over, the hyperlinks that built the web may face extinction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you think hyperlinks have any danger of going extinct, I have shares in an crypto-based AI powered bridge to sell you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guerrilla Women⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Natural” women implies the existence of unnatural, eldritch women, who drive men mad through their ancient Lovecraftian presence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually okay with semi-centralized. Most people need that to trust a platform, but it still gives you the option to self host if you really care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Link to Dan Da Dan Episode 6 Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Feels like this episode has a lot faster pacing than the manga, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

  Glad to see Okarun’s family jewels again though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parasitic Isopods⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t kinkshame

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not likely to be AI-generated or Deepfake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. The aggressive depth of field is another smoking gun that usually indicates an AI image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not likely to be AI-generated or Deepfake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it could be a manual photoshop job. Just because it’s not AI doesn’t mean it’s real.

  But also the detector is probably wrong - it’s likely an AI image using a different model than the detector was trained to detect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s probably got a dumb name, like Bill or Willie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh fuck no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In fact, we should actively try to make it hostile to advertisements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Wasting Pumpkins!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes! I think pumpkins are fairly harmless though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google creating an AI agent to use your PC on your behalf, says report | Same PR nightmare as Windows Recall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not ultimately making it for people to use. They’re creating a playground for AI to work and learn in, thereby letting their AI access human behavior data that other companies don’t yet have.

  Basically it’s a ploy to get a novel set of proprietary data in hopes that their AI gets smarter than the competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Worst Apology Video on the Planet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice idea, but how would you even enforce that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're a different species, so it's cool to eat them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Counterpoint, while it might be ethical to eat free range billionaire, it’s the least tasty of human meat because of all the cocaine use and STDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the way I phrased it was super awkward

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Safari is WebKit, which branched off from Chrome when Google forked WebKit into Blink. So they’re like siblings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former OpenAI Researcher Says Company Broke Copyright Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you in principle. Legally, the courts are still deciding.
