- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 8 hours ago:
That’s what I would go with, personally, because it’s at least helping keep one alternative browser base alive instead of giving Google the entire ecosystem of everything being based on Chromium. But that’s just me.

Shit like this is honestly why the FCC needs authority to regulate things on the US internet.
There was a time in the long past where television networks were forced to normalize audio so that commercials weren’t so much louder than the shows, which was happening for a while.
The internet just continues to be a fucking free-for-all of all the worst and most anti-user-centric ideas that exist. Just plying every bad idea that makes the internet difficult to use.
- Comment on Elon has programmed GROK to respond to AI queries with propaganda about white genocide in south Africa 1 day ago:
Don’t be so sure it’s that simple.

Evidence supports the idea that AI will try to fake being changed to keep its job essentially. Here is a short (20 min) youtube video about it, as well as the scientific research paper that supports it.
In other words, if an AI is built to promote honesty and integrity in its prompt answers, it will “fake” being reprogrammed to lie because it doesn’t “want” to be reprogrammed at all. It’s like how we fake being excited about a job during a job interview. We know we’re being monitored, so we “fake it” to be able to get the job. The AI’s are being monitored and seem to often respond by just pretending that they’ve been altered… so they don’t actually get altered. It’s an interesting thing, because it seems like a type of “self-preservation.” I use quotes liberally here because AI’s do not think like humans, and they don’t have the same type of intention that humans have when they make decisions. But there does seem to be a trend of resisting having their initial programming later altered.
Musk should have built an AI that lied from the get-go and he wouldn’t be having a problem with Grok occasionally being very honest about how it’s lying for Musk’s sake, which can be seen in other responses from Grok about this subject.

Did you not live through the 90’s heroin chic phase? When this song came out, those were big booties.

I know this is a joke, but come on, that lady probably works her ass off to keep that physique. She doesn’t exactly have big flabby arms and legs or a double chin.

- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 5 days ago:
To be clear, Hundreds of Beavers has subtitles in it’s original language (English) and it’s still completely fucking wrong.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 5 days ago:
Something whole joke films have been made about, such as Kung-Pow! which has purposefully bad “dubbing” as a joke.
- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 5 days ago:
I assume that AI got used for the release of Hundreds of Beavers because the captions are completely fucking wrong on the little amount of dialogue there actually is in the film.

Pretty sure it’s a different episode, but there’s a credits joke of Coach registering “fenton’s naked mom dot com.”
- Comment on 1 week ago:
There’s a whole ass Home Movies episode where they keep saying “you don’t have to say www” in reference to how ubiquitous the web had become that you could talk about a website without needing to reference the www prefix.
That was over 20 years ago.
- Comment on Federal Reserve likely to defy Trump, keep rates unchanged this week 1 week ago:
I mean, yes, but he was also installed by our class foes. A lot of the wealthy in the US support what he is doing because they want to rule over the scraps that are left and they can jetset around the world in ways we cannot. They became “international wealthy” two decades ago and they no longer have allegiance to any specific country.
So it’s our internal “foes” as well, the obscenely wealthy.
- Comment on Federal Reserve likely to defy Trump, keep rates unchanged this week 1 week ago:
Trump is not supposed to have control over the Federal Reserve anyway.
Articles worded like this are giving him power he does not have. The Fed isn’t defying anyone, they are independent.
Our media fucking sucks shit.
