- Comment on Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK 1 week ago:
I imagine more than a little of my frustration is rooted in me not agreeing. But, I think I would have still been frustrated if the SC had decided the other way, just less so. I think regardless I would have wanted:
I guess they could have refused permission to appeal earlier[.]
But, more than that, these nonces have been noncing for actual decades. “The purpose of a system is what it does” is being thrown around a lot recently, I’m not sure organically. But fuck me if the purpose of our system isn’t to protect monied interest and bind the rest of us.

I’m not sure why “in fairness” applys here? I don’t disagree it is a supreme court ruling after dairy UK objected to a trademark. I don’t disagree it’s been going on for a while.
What I’m disagreeing with is the supreme court not going “fuck off, you petty time wasting freaks”.

I don’t think the people in charge of this are the same people investigating blackmail by foreign powers.
The supreme court?
- Comment on Having nothing to do at work is a bit like paid prison 1 week ago:
Audiobooks, audiobooks, audiobooks.
I work with my hands though, so having an audiobook on while I spuddle away isn’t much of an issue.
I’ll pause it when someone wants to talk to me. I use music when I have to think. But on slow days, audiobooks all day long.

This, this is what my country thinks is valuable to be doing right now? Not all the nonces that may or may not be being blackmailed by hostile powers? But that oat milk is called milk?
- Comment on ‘I’m British, British Asian, English’, says Rishi Sunak in riposte to racially charged debate over identity 1 week ago:
He was hoist with his own petard. Not so much victim blaming, as “I didn’t think those
leopards[racists] would eat my [non-white] face.” - Comment on 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx 1 week ago:
I use the paperless scanner inbuilt into the paperless app. Works fine

Isn’t the opposite true? How do people talk and experience games?
“I played GTA and Michael drove a car off a bridge” Vs “I played GTA and I drove a car off a bridge”

I prefer spelling it with an extra “Raw”
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 weeks ago:
I’m gonna make the jump to nixOS eventually. I’m just about comfortable with YAML and only in the context of docker-compose. The leap from that to nix seems too great. I’ll start this year though.

We need to protect children, we wouldn’t want random adults talking about pornography to kids on social media

- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 3 weeks ago:
Von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: that you don’t have to be responsible for the world that you’re in. So I have developed a very powerful sense of social irresponsibility as a result of von Neumann’s advice. It’s made me a very happy man ever since. - Richard Feynman
Mostly that. I accept the world is shit. I try make my little corner of it better. I try not to support what’s making it worse. I accept I’m not an acetic, worse I’m a hedonist, so I will be making it worse.
I accept these things. I vote left, I donate, I abstain to a tolerable level of discomfort.
I could be doing better, I eat meat, I still get things from Amazon. I drive cars/motorcycles as a hobby.

I’m on my anticorp march right now and currently targeting Google. Search is done with searxng. Next is docs. Then email. Then Maps. Then the behemoth that is Amazon.

You’ll have to forgive me too. I fell into a bit of a poe’s law.
I’m not “AI bad” and “AI bad” has been acting real crazy lately so it didn’t seem out of character for an AI bad person to say ecco the dolphin, by virtue of having no AI is saving the world. The game still took power and resources to develop. Not only isn’t it saving the planet, regardless of AI, it’s harming it.
I am however “Corporation bad”, so I was doubly overly sensitive. 1st someone was saying some perceived AI bad silliness. 2nd they were also saying that the corporation was saving the planet with the AI bad silliness. You got your knee jerk though.
Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose, but that’s a bit out of context.
Sorry to preempt your punch line. Joke wasn’t missed, just unappreciated. My bad.

If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?
“What do you mean I said it dont know what it does” - person who asked what it does.
That assumption?
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 4 weeks ago:
Probably not. Mind explaining it?

Just to be clear, you just learned that chat gpt can be used as a tool to help someone interpret text? Well at least you learned something

“It’s about saving the world” - keenflame.
It isn’t about saving the world. It’s about marketing. Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose but that’s a bit out of context.

Listening to marketeers do their thing. Have we not learned our lesson yet. They’ll say whatever it is to sell their game.
Let them make it. Let them release it. Find out if it’s something you want to buy. Buy it. “Save the world” why would anyone volunteer to carry water for them?

The developer – whose credits also include Chakan: The Forever Man, Kolibri, Mr. Bones and Three Dirty Dwarves – has previously been quite vocal about his support of tech such as Web3, AI and LLMs (Large Language Models) in video games.
His LinkedIn profile states that one of his “near-term” goals is to “create an AI system to generate ergodic game content.” His current company, PLAYCHEMY, lists “gamification of AI models, Stable Diffusion, LLM, and NeRF” as some of its primary areas of interest.

The point of learning long division is so you understand it. Once you understand it, THEN you can use the calculator.
That wasn’t my experience of learning long division. Not a lot of time was spent on understanding the process. A lot of time was spent on repetition, repetition, repetion until it was wrote. The division button on the calculator was faster, easier and gave more accurate results.
No. The corollary of my luddite argument is that tools are tools. Attacking the tools don’t work to solve systemic problems.
If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?
See post for one example of students using it as a tool.
See, the “AI bad” people are funny. In a post about how people are actually using GenAI as a tool to achieve their goals “If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it does”?
It is a shame the airways a late clogged with this nonsense instead of how the wealthy are using tools, any tools, to concentrate wealth.

I didn’t really say AI bad,
Implying GenAi gives wrong answers isn’t saying AI bad?
If you ask AI the same question twice you get 2 answers, different AIs give different responses, different prompts, different people, different geography.
That’s true of people too, and we trust them to do all sorts of things. Ask 20 people what happens after you die, how many answers are you getting? Not just that ask any technical question, ask 4 beekeepers the best way to do a thing and you’ll get 5 answers.
GenAI is a tool, if you try use it to hammer in nails you’re gonna have a bad time. Don’t try use it to hammer in nails.
It turns out wrote answers to wrote questions is something it does fairly well, and it’s still getting better. That’s good, as a society we’ve moved past wrote answers to wrote questions. We should now prepre kids for the society they are going to grow up in, one with GenAI. Critical thinking is something it does fairly poorly, critical thinking is something we do fairly poorly, let’s teach that.
Beyond academics, shitty throwaway art is something it can also do fairly well. Just want an image use GenAi, want a master piece get a human. You already do this, how many of your clothes are handmade? Used a milliner recently? The Luddites taught us a lesson, attacking looms don’t work.
I hope I was the last generation to spend hours on long division with quotes of “you won’t always have access to a calculator”. Those that go into fields where long division may be useful should learn it, the rest of us have calculators.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 weeks ago:
Nah I grew up with the “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket” crowd.
If AI gets everything wrong then students using it to offload their thinking will get failing grades. AI getting everything wrong is a self solving problem.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 5 weeks ago:
It’s good that students are using ai to cheat then. Very easy to detect as the answers are wrong.
