At this point, it’ll cause a disaster and they’ll still keep going.
- Comment on Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety" 2 days ago:
Yep there is a deep attachment amongst AI boosters to certain doom and gloom scenarios that stem from their philosophical “think tanks” which use imaginary problems (e.g. “AGI ‘misalignment’ destroying the world through turning everything into paperclips”) to lobby and alter our laws to benefit their real bosses – anthropic, open ai, and friends.

Never seen more definitive proof that there’s “no there there” then when this fucking asshole acts like this it’s a big deal.

Love how we’re setting a low bar for 2028 two years ahead of time and without having a candidate first. 👍

It’s kinda sorta not a game in many ways but dispatch did a decent job I thought.
- Comment on The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling 5 days ago:
The infinite scroll goes hand in hand with that type of algorithm. Even if there isn’t more content, some versions of the infinite scroll keep loading assorted shit you’ve already seen before.
It’s also part and parcel of a mindset switch from looking at some content on a fixed number of pages and then moving on with your day, to pushing the screen up forever even if you’ve already seen most of it.
It also usually makes it so that you cannot bookmark the state, and the state often reloads fresh when you hit back and you’ve lost what you’re looking at.
In other words: it fucking sucks and I hate it.
- Comment on The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling 5 days ago:
Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page
That is definitely not all it does.
- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 1 week ago:
I thought about lying on my last report but decided to not. At this point they’re going to have to fire me if they can’t accept the truth. I’m not lying to save my skin.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 1 week ago:
Yeah, I don’t get too deep into that game. I do have some higher-ish quality headphones and speakers though. I also find that subs are largely underrated by audio snobs.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 1 week ago:
Not here to argue I can hear the difference, because I can’t. But in audio collecting where the size and burden of even large lossless files isn’t much different from lossy files, why care? I download the flac files and compress upon delivery to the client where the space might be of a larger concern.
- Comment on AI safety leader says 'world is in peril' and quits to study poetry 1 week ago:
Hitzig said a potential “erosion of OpenAI’s own principles to maximise engagement” might already be underway at the firm.
Um, hate to break it to you bud, but there were no principles to erode.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 1 week ago:
I’ve seen many boomers either stare at their feet or the ceiling & they have no clue how to solve their situation because they are disoriented. Same with young kids learning.
Any last words, Jim?

The Republican party is not a monolith guys, it’s made up of several distinct groups such as child rapists and child rapist enablers.

- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, in the same way must Germans didn’t seem to know that the SS camps were death camps, it’s very possible – if not probable – that these places are either death camps already, or going to become death camps very soon.
There’s a reason that the administration is so cagey about allowing Democratic politicians in to see the facilities. The other thing is that concentration camps never start as explicit death camps, and the first casualties are always from things like lack of food and disease. Nothing about this suggests any differently.

A question to nobody in particular: would it be possible to make a license plate cover that is made out of the same material as those anti-facial recognition glasses?

- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 2 weeks ago:
There are alternatives, you can see them on display in various Linux distros. The difference is that with Windows Microsoft doesn’t want you to think of an alternative.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 2 weeks ago:
I still can’t convince my dad to just switch, but at this point running Windows is in nearly every single way worse than just running a popular Linux distro.

This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
Of course, most managers’ goal is not to become more evil and more terrible. Their goal is to attain more money and power. Becoming more evil and more terrible is the simply the means toward those ends.
- Comment on Selfhosted Jira alternative 4 weeks ago:
The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software’s opinions don’t matter in the least.

Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is). But even if they were, why the fuck would you advertise it as if it’s a great thing they’re using your software?
