- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 5 weeks ago:
So many posts on on social media are obviously AI generated and it immediately makes me disregard them but I’m worried about later stages when people make an effort to mask it. Prompt it to generate text without giveaways like dashes. Have intentional mistakes or a general lack of proper structure and punctuation in there and it will be incredibly hard to tell.

The last 5% aren’t a nice bonus. They are everything. A 95% self driving car won’t do. Giving me random hallucinations when I try to look up important information won’t do either even if it just happens 1 out of 20 times. That one time could really screw me so I can’t trust it.
Currently AI companies have no idea how to get there yet they sell the promise of it. Next year, bro. Just one more datacenter, bro.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 1 month ago:
I’m a sys admin in the public sector and the hardware requirements of W11 are a great blessing. I couldn’t have convinced thousands of workers to switch to Linux and get used to another GUI but this forces it on us because there simply is no money to replace all that hardware. Rolling out Mint clients and between this and mobile operating systems Microsoft is finally losing its monopoly on the OS market.

- Comment on Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar? 2 months ago:
I used to play WoW 5v5 arena competitively in 2007. This was way before they went hard on e-sports so it’s not really comparable to today. Just to give you some perspective, the winning team at blizzcon got $25k which meant $5k each which (again, only in case of winning the world championship) would’ve just so covered my travel costs.
Honestly it was terrible. At first I used to play for fun and only accidentally ended up in a top team. Then my team got way too ambitious and it became more of a chore. I told them early on that I had no interest in playing like that but they couldn’t find a replacement so I kept playing with them until I was fully burned out. It was nice being good at something but it ruined the fun of it.
- Comment on Microsoft buys more than a billion dollars’ worth of excrement, including human poop, to clean up its AI mess — company will pump waste underground to offset AI carbon emissions 3 months ago:
It’s usually nonsense. I remember some carbon offsets being a guy owning a forest and essentially selling his inaction as a carbon offset. Give me a million dollars so I don’t chop all those trees down which I totally would’ve done otherwise. It’s just pushing numbers around on a spreadsheet.
In this case I can imagine their calculations being wildly off. How much CO2/methane does a ton of poop actually release? How much CO2 is released to transport that ton and build the facilities that hold it?

Microsoft burying the steaming pile of poop that is teams will be enough to “offset” all their data centers.

- Comment on The Wikipedia Test 4 months ago:
But the donations are only necessary because of inflated salaries. It’s like saying we have to pay this pastry chef because the pastry chef loves to eat their own cake. They’re just feeding themselves.
The cost of server infrastructure is comparatively tiny so if they’d run it lean it’d have enough cash to last ages already. Also posting a banner on their site with massive reach isn’t exactly rocket surgery.
I know there are worse things but I strongly dislike nonprofits wasting donation money.
- Comment on The Wikipedia Test 4 months ago:
on the one hand they make some valid points on the other hand it’s a little disgusting how much wikipedia execs get payed and how sweaty they get when they worry about having to pay content moderators. currently they just pocket most of the donations they get but with increased running costs that would get harder.
don’t get me wrong, wikipedia is an important project and they deserve fair compensation but grabbing $700k per year for managing it seems a bit steep eh? it’s not like they’re forging new business strategies and conquering markets. they have a very simple concept and just keep it running. a post it note on the ceo door with “keep going lads” on it might outperform them and save some money.
- Comment on Lara Croft games are the nightmare of any real archaeologist, biologist and paleontologist. 5 months ago:
Put mercenaries on the list. They get hired to guard some excavation. A chill job the recruiter told them.
Lara overhears them talk about going home to their families as she sneaks up and brutally murders them with her ice axe one by one until the ruins are flooded with blood. It’s all self defense.
