Pretty insulting comparison, tbh.
Pronouns: Expanding language to communicate the humanity of other people.
AI: Distilling language to package human communication as a sellable product.

I feel like there was a time when we messed around with unregulated banking before.
I don’t remember what happened though…
Huh. Oh well.
Hey, yaknow what’s a funny word? “Contagion”. Hehe. What a weird word.
What was I saying? Eh, it’ll be fine.

Idk man. The Sneetches “got really quite wise on that day”, but they still never guillotined Sylvester McMonkey McBean.

Not just to show the logo, but to run the entire machine. Probably IoT enabled, so monitoring and maintenance actions and OTA are important enough that it’s worth having a very slim version of Linux on there instead of taking the security risk of building up from a lower level.
- Comment on Protest footage blocked as online safety act comes into force – The Free Speech Union 5 days ago:
Not reporting on it kinda lets X have it both ways though. They can curate it to be a spokesperson and default to spreading a certain message to users, but if the media reports that same message it’s suddenly out of context because it’s just a fancy autocomplete.

- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 1 week ago:
I never played Descent itself, but I played a shitty clone on one of those “1000 Games on 10 CD-ROMs” packs back in the day.
After learning about the source material, I always wanted to go try it but haven’t taken the time.
- Comment on "Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION] 1 week ago:
They wouldn’t see what sites you give the tokens to — unless those sites choose to phone home, for some reason.
- You log in to the government site
- You ask for a token to prove your age/gender/whatever
- You copy the token
- You go to the age/gender-restricted site
- You provide the token
- The restricted site asks the government site how to verify any arbitrary token (but doesn’t mention your specific token)
- The restricted site verifies the token

So like, when do we get a government-run service to issue zero-knowledge proofs about us so companies have no reason to store stuff like this in the first place?
- Comment on Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science 1 week ago:
Funny. I dislike vibe coding because it takes away the “art”.
Implicit in these remarks is the notion that there is something undesirable about an area of human activity that is classified as an “art”; it has to be a Science before it has any real stature. On the other hand, I have been working for more than 12 years on a series of books called “The Art of Computer Programming.”

- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 1 week ago:
I made some critical posts about it several months ago. It was exhausting. So I stopped. Haven’t changed my position though.

Our monetization offer within premium games makes the player experience more fun by allowing them to personalize their avatars or progress more quickly, however this is always optional.
If it’s more fun to progress more quickly, that should be the default.

- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. It was already happening circa USB3. It’s not because of the connectors, but the broadening spectrum of requirements of client devices.
Maybe USB-C was a missed opportunity to address it, but it certainly didn’t “start the fire”.

Not really. The dinos were half-baked imitations, not exact replicas. And they evolved in ways the scientists didn’t anticipate, because their reach exceeded their grasp.
There’s definitely an anti-capitalist message, but don’t dismiss the warning about prematurely greenlighting high-stakes scientific initiatives. That’s relevant to the modern world, no matter what our economic model is.
LLMs come to mind. There’s a section of the AI-skeptic folks that say the only problem with AI is the profit motive. I’m not so sure. People will use tech to do all kinds of horrible shit even if they don’t stand to materially benefit. Just look at 4chan.

Antitrust is the right approach. (As opposed to copyright.) I hope Google gets decimated.
