Imagine a world where we had politicians who understood technology enough to put proper rules and requirements in place, so that big dumb companies would avtually be forced to act ethically and sustainably…

- Comment on McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream 4 months ago:
I think we are about to experience a true Butlerian Jihad. Not because of the fearsome power of AI, but because of the hatred of shitty LLMs.

- Comment on Parents overestimate sons’ maths skills more than daughters’, study finds 5 months ago:
Hmm. In my personal experience as a teacher, parents overestimate all skills of their children if their child is talkative and charismatic. The silent children are the only ones underestimated. Maybe the girls are generally just more silent and therefore underestimated more?

Combine the two and we’ve got a proper Matrix situation on our hands
- Comment on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowban 5 months ago:
Private companies should not be able to do whatever the fuck they like. They have a very important responsibility, and they will not consider ethics over profit, unless we as a society force them to.

- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 6 months ago:
I think you’re 100% correct in assuming they’ve already fed it data scraped from SO. I’ve previously gotten code samples from ChatGPT that was clearly from SO down to the comments in the code. Even reverse searched some of the code and found the question it was from.
- Comment on Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch 6 months ago:
It’s really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that’s a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it’s the best sequel I’ve played.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 6 months ago:
Teach. I already teach and I would continue to do so even if I had enough money to retire. I just love seeing young people discover the joy of programming and 3D modeling.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 6 months ago:
I think that’s the entire point of this exercise. Thinking about what making the world better would actually mean and entail.
- Comment on UK: Almost a quarter of kids aged 5-7 have smartphones 6 months ago:
The worst thing about this in my opinion, is that this is mostly a problem for the children from less resourceful families. There is already a tendency for children from lower socioeconomic households to have more problems with concentration. Adding smartphones will only exacerbate the problem and fuel the fires of growing inequality.

Switching to Pop!_OS on a system running a 3090 gave me a significant performance increase. This comes as no surprise.
- Comment on Norwegian Cruise captain refused to let eight passengers who were late reboard ship 7 months ago:
A couple of years ago, I traveled to a tiny town in southern Greenland to visit a friend. After having been there for a week, a cruise ship suddenly appeared on the ocean and a shit ton of tourists invaded the town for just a single day. They left trash everywhere and had the locals do random plays and entertainment stunts for them, and then left before sundown. I didn’t see a single person buy something at the local bar or café (shits expensive in Greenland, so they probably waited to buy it cheaper back on the ship).
None of the locals enjoyed it, but had to endure it regularly to get a few critical dimes out of the tourists. It felt so fucking wrong and dirty. Fuck cruise ships and everyone supporting that industry.
