- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 4 days ago:
No the game has a much, much worse anexoty time crunch in trying to 100% it before the end of year… 2 ( I think) when grandpa shrine first measures progress.
- Comment on Employees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery 6 days ago:
Multiple deliveries a day ?! Why would anyone use that?
It’s bad enough not knowing when they’ll arrive and having to be ready, but at least after they’ve been you can get something done. Wow, Amazon are really bad at this.

- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 2 weeks ago:
As if people coding things make ms any money, it’s pure extraction through windows and office and they need ai to be next.
- Comment on UK must 'actively prepare' for potential of war in the 'homeland', review warns 2 weeks ago:
I find it very difficult to believe Russia could resupply an invasion force, even if it could technically manage the initial push. I’ll have to read the article properly but the sea and air logistics involved, without invading every cou try between the UK and Russia, seem insurmountable.
- Comment on The UK failed grooming gang victims by not seeing ‘children as children’ 3 weeks ago:
They were specifically worried about race riots.
Look at the London riots years ago, that was caused by going after a gang member and escalates by gangs.
The police forces in these areas were absolutely right to worry, it wasn’t just about causing offence but the real threat of organised criminal members of a community mobilising that community against the police.
- Comment on The UK failed grooming gang victims by not seeing ‘children as children’ 3 weeks ago:
Some of it still looks a little like corruption to me.
There’s a huge report on this with more detail than anyone could reasonably read, somewhere way back in my comment history on Reddit. The way the problem was moved off to cross force specialised teams and then sat on is very odd, but could just be disorganisaton
- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 1 month ago:
Big incentive to keep trump in power if your bribery of him is public record. Someone else might do something about it

Maybe you shouldnt have eaten their porridge and slept in their bed.
- Comment on Why Japan's animation industry has embraced AI 1 month ago:
It does recreate the training material. There’s literally loads of examples of it spitting out a degraded copy of an original pi CE of art with specific enough terms.

It provides fertilizer but needs “some food”.
How much food and what is it?
- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 2 months ago:
The headline is that they advertised beauty products to girls after they detected them deleting a selfie. No ethics or morals at all

- Comment on Black Mirror’s pessimism porn won’t lead us to a better future | Louis Anslow 2 months ago:
It’s not fictions job to sell your latest rentier extraction tool. The news media already does it by reprinting PR releases just be grateful for that.
If you want a positive view of the future any startup has the power to make one at any time. Then when you don’t get funding you’ll see where the real problem lies.
- Comment on ‘An Overwhelmingly Negative And Demoralizing Force’: What It’s Like Working For A Company That’s Forcing AI On Its Developers. 2 months ago:
Typically working with a junior on a project is slower than not working with them. It’s a little odd you see this as like that and that it’s also faster.
- Comment on The Brewing Transatlantic Tech War: How Silicon Valley Got Entangled in Geopolitics—and Lost. 3 months ago:
It could also spell the end of today’s open Internet, as Europeans look to build alternative platforms to those of the giant U.S. tech firms.
I think you mean “closed internet”!
- Comment on Ubisoft Leamington UK, responsible for development of Star Wars Outlaws and Skull & Bones, officially closed. 3 months ago:
Shadows is great tbh. Can’t speak about sales figures but it’s the most fun I’ve had with AC in ages. The jumps being ninja roll jumps is perfect.
Valhalla was far too serious, a schlocky Japanese revenge flick is much more on target.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 months ago:
What are they going to do? blacklist me and stop serving me ads?
Oh no
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 3 months ago:
As a curved blade I think they’re all already banned, so this law does nothing to you
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 3 months ago:
Collecting them isn’t much of a reason to be carrying them around.
I don’t think the police would let you off if you claimed to have just bought it. I’d expect them to demand some kind of proof.
The law is so when they raid a gang members home and find five swords they can do something other than compliment them on their awesome ninja sword collection.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 months ago:
Aside from the unacceptable violence, the story here is far more complicated than that.
They were just impossible to work with.I think PeopleMakeGames did a good YouTube video on it if you’ve not seen it.
