- Comment on LLMDeathCount.com 1 day ago:
While a lot of people die trough suicide, it’s not exactly good or helpful when an AI guides some of them trough the process and even encourages them to do it.
- Comment on Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data 4 weeks ago:
vast majority of Internet traffic across the world is unencrypted.
In 2023 between 80% and 95% of web traffic was encryted. Unencrypted web traffic is getting pretty rare.
- Comment on ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way 2 months ago:
The best part is in the comments.
You’re right, he might have a backported patch and not be vulnerable to any of the several CVEs for this version of Apache. But also, his server might be really easy to hack. Rather than confirming that his server is secure, he blocked me when I reported the issue.

- Comment on Keyboards from My Collection 2 months ago:
Not a big fan of keyboard collectors since lots of them only have the keyboards without the matching computers which means somewhere there’s a retro computer missing a keyboard because of that.
I guess it doesn’t matter all that much with new or popular machines, but on old hardware with esoteric plugs and protocols that sucks.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 2 months ago:
Was reel-to-reel ever mainstream?
I always had the impression that it was too complicated and/or expensive for most.

I understand what enterprise software is. That wasn’t my question.
- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 2 months ago:
CEO of enterprise-software powerhouse IgniteTech.
Can someone tell me me what they do? They don’t have a Wikipedia Article and their website is mostly AI slop.

tbh current time keeping kinda sucks.

- Comment on People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" 3 months ago:
“I was ready to paint the walls with Sam Altman’s f*cking brain.”
While I absolutely wouldn’t wish this upon him or anyone else, it wouldn’t take me long to make jokes about Frankenstein getting killed by his own monster.
- Comment on Twitter founder Jack Dorsey pumps $10 million into a nonprofit to build Nostr-based social media apps 3 months ago:
He doesn’t like it because it’s the same as twitter according to him.
Journalists don’t like it because they get called out on bullshit there.
- Comment on ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims 5 months ago:
If my grandma had wheels she’d be a car.
- Comment on ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims 5 months ago:
I believe the premise of AI having any input in getting shut down is bullshit.
Even if the AI had free reign over a computer you can just pull the plug.
- Comment on An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate 5 months ago:
I personally just find it annoying how it’s shoehorned into everyting regardless if it makes sense to be there or not, without the option to turn it off.
I also don’t find it helpful for most things I do.

Do you mean the ones with the big T9 keyboards so grandpa doesn’t have to wear his glasses while using his?
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 5 months ago:
[…] residential solar installation companies providing loans […]
The whole argument is that you need neither a loan or a professional installer for a Balkonkraftwerk. Your’re completely missing the point.
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 5 months ago:
I think you’re comparing apples to oranges.
The main selling point for a “Balkonkraftwerk” is that it’s cheap and doesn’t require an electrician to install.
That way they pay off rather quickly and result in a lower electricity bill when you look at a span of 10-15 Years.
Solar farms in Spain on the other hand require massive investments in Infrastructure and the farms themselves. Not to say they’re a bad idea, but it’s a very different thing.

- Comment on A cheat sheet for why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment 6 months ago:
I struggle to see why numerous scientists (and even Sam ‘AI’ Altman) would be wrong about this but a random substack post holds the truth.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 6 months ago:
Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that. Abolishing IP laws won’t fix capitalism.
There are other solutions for that. Most of them as unrealistic as abolishing IP laws. But we could try universal basic income as a stopgap.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 6 months ago:
Have you considered that the problem of not being able to create art for recreational purposes without thinking about its monetary value is the actual issue here?
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 6 months ago:
You’re right. As we all know people only started to create art after IP laws where established.
Nobody ever made something original just for the joy of it. It’s only fair that a single company has the exclusive rights on a pants-wearing mouse that looks a certain way for 95 years.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 7 months ago:
Nobody does anything anymore and we’ll all just die. Gotcha.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 7 months ago:
I’m fully in favour of abolishing IP law for everyone, ideally globally.
Public domain everything.
