- Comment on An Alarming Number of Gen Z Ai Users Think It's Conscious 22 hours ago:
My comment was in jest, but there is a reasonable argument that biological organisms are also predictive input/output machines. It’s especially evident in simple organisms, like an amoeba, where some physical or chemical stimulus in the environment triggers a mostly predictable response.
The argument that human consciousness is fundamentally different - not just that it’s more complex but that at some point the physical determinism of electrical and chemical impulses gives way to an authority that overrides that physical basis, enabling free thought or free will, is scientifically unsubstantiated. We know of no mechanism by which that could occur.
And the philosophical arguments aren’t much better - I’ve never seen a theory of dualism articulated in a way that doesn’t invoke ghosts or magic.

It will be amazing if AI destroys humanity without ever becoming conscious. Everyone was envisioning Skynet, when in reality we’ll just cook the Earth with GHGs so that data center GPUs can hallucinate legal cases.
- Comment on 'The Rising of the Shield Hero' Season 4 Releases First Teaser, Reveals Staff Information and Song Info 1 day ago:
The turtle arc that takes up the whole first half of the season is boring as hell, but IMO the second half redeems it somewhat. Skip forward until you don’t see the turtle and watch from there.
Or skip to S3. Not like the plot is deep and complex and you’ll be left wondering what’s going on.

Are we positive that they’re conscious? I just think we should run some tests.

Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I’m sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

And that’s just the MSRP! The true cost is after every single goddamn unit is scooped up by scalpers.

- Comment on AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say 1 week ago:
This is my experience as well. Best case scenario it gives me a rough idea of what functions to use or how to set up the logic, but then it always screws up the actual implementation. I’ve never asked ChatGPT for coding help and gotten something I can use off the bat. I always have to rewrite it before it’s functional.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake Seemingly Teased by Square Enix 2 weeks ago:
Maybe we can at least hope that Square is influenced by the positive reception to those projects, and goes for a lighter touch on changes than they did with FF7!
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake Seemingly Teased by Square Enix 2 weeks ago:
Have you seen Memoria Project? That did an incredible job of updating the first few areas of the game but keeping the art style intact.
I’m in full agreement that IX shouldn’t get the FF7R treatment. It would lose all of its charm.

A post this dumb is almost certainly trolling, but in case you’re actually serious about bragging your phone was made in a Vietnamese sweatshop instead of a Chinese one, maybe you should read the news more: thenation.com/…/was-your-smartphone-built-in-a-sw…
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
Can I ask what distro you’re running? Some of the gaming-focused ones like Bazzite still seem to gather some comments about working better with AMD, though it seems like there are some workarounds. I am resolved to leave Microsoft behind completely at the W11 switch so I’m trying to get my bearings!
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
Can you elaborate on the incompatibility of the newest GPUs? It looks like Nvidia publishes a Linux driver for the Blackwell series and there are a number of AI applications (like supporting Triton and pysam-based methods) which seem harder to get working on Windows than on Linux.
I’m considering switching over but I hear mixed things about Nvidia support. Some people seem to say it’s a pain to get the drivers working and others seem to think that’s an issue that’s been resolved. Not sure what to think in terms of how difficult the switch would be.
- Comment on The Beginning After the End Anime Begins With Power-Point Type Animation 2 weeks ago:
I can no longer tell the difference between incredibly shit writing and AI-generated incredibly shit writing.
His narration throughout the episode adds depth to his character, giving viewers insight into his thoughts and emotions. The moment he realizes what it means to have a real family is especially poignant. This emotional aspect of TBATE sets it apart from typical reincarnation stories and lays a strong foundation for Arthur’s growth.
Human slop? AI slop? Who even knows anymore?
- Comment on The Unaware Atelier Meister • Kanchigai no Atelier Meister: Eiyuu Party no Moto Zatsuyougakari ga, Jitsu wa Sentou Igai ga SSS Rank Datta to Iu Yoku Aru Hanashi - Episode 2 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Good mindless fun these first two episodes. It seems like they’re setting the stage for some more serious plot turns. I do hope MC wises up eventually, or we figure out why everyone from his “village” has godlike powers.

I’ve got a system that removes the watermark and adds two or three bonus fingers, free of charge! Silicon Valley VC is gonna be all over this.
- Comment on Can I ethically use LLMs? 2 months ago:
By “creating something,” do you mean replacing the work that a human creative would normally do? (That is, replacing an artist/writer/musician who would otherwise have the job?)
That’s where I’d draw the line. I think personal use is fine but if you’re affecting people’s employment by using an AI that’s clearly a no-go for me.

Yes, but this article is U.S. focused and highlighting the difficulties facing those companies specifically. It should really be titled to specify the U.S. charging industry.

Hmm, it’s kind of like he has an established MO for when his businesses are failing due to his own poor decisions and lack of business sense.

- Comment on Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time • Izure Saikyou no Renkinjutsushi? - Episode 4 discussion 2 months ago:
A little disappointed with this episode. MC was pretty normal up until now, and then this episode had a full-blown episode of pantsu psychosis.
I did enjoy the scene where they peer out from the bushes at about eight goblins standing around and elf girl responds “looks like about four or five hundred of them.” A lot of meme potential in that one.
I’m still on board, but I love trash isekai.

Yeah, but only if Newton is isekai’d to a lower-mass world with a smaller G constant, so the apple falls more slowly.
- Comment on Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World • Magic Maker: Isekai Mahou no Tsukurikata - Episode 2 discussion 3 months ago:
I feel like they would need to go much more complex and interesting on the theory of magic in the show in order to support this slow pacing.
It’s an interesting premise - how do people originally figure out that magic exists and how they learn to control those powers? We usually see worlds where magic is already established.
But you’re spot-on about the pacing. Glacially slow and just not interesting enough in terms of discovering how the magic in this world works.
- Comment on Angel Next Door Season 2 Announcement on Jan 4, 2025 3 months ago:
Agreed. I went in with no real expectations at all and it ended up being a really sweet and sincere love story with gradual, believable character development. This is first I’ve heard of Season 2 so I’m stoked!

I knew there was a second season but it had completely escaped my notice it was happening so soon! I can’t wait for the return of our Sherlock of the Imperial Court. This one and Frieren were probably tied for my favorite show in a year with a lot of great entries.
