- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 2 weeks ago:
The only thing you’ve argued is that you are choosing one particular definition of smart, ignoring the one I was using, and going all Grammar Nazi into how that’s the only possible definition. As I’ve said, if am grateful for one thing, it is that I am not one of those people whose ego has to be jizzing everywhere, including their perception of things.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 2 weeks ago:
They are. Unless you can translate what I’m saying to any language I tell you to on the fly, I’m going to assume that anyone that tells me they are smarter than LLMs are lower on the spectrum than usual. Wikipedia and a lot of libraries are also more knowledgeable than me, who knew.
- Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies? 5 weeks ago:
Because they aren’t “conservatives”, that’s just a label they slap onto themselves and their changes are more radical than those they label “liberals”. What they really are is what you’ve said, voters more susceptible to believing lies, the psychotypes that have been identified through social network big data profiling that are particularly susceptible or within a network susceptible to manipulation. That’s also why a lot of these social network are pretty shameless about how they want to stimulate fake AI users. It is the cattle-lification of social network for those with the wealth and the power to do it, to such an extent that you terms like 1984’s “doublethink” apply quite aptly well beyond the theoretical.
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 1 month ago:
Will it? What will eventually happen if this gains any sort of popularity is that those people you think it will piss off will simply set up their own “grass roots” alternative the directly competes with them by gaslighting them about their “horrible practices they don’t want you to know”, along with funding “white farmers against bullshit affirmative action racist against whites” types of movements as the cherry on top.

It does, as long as those farmers are giving back and trickling it down, sort to speak. It isn’t the case for everyone, try not to buy from assholes if you can.
- Comment on Workers at NASA Told to ‘Drop Everything’ to Scrub Mentions of Indigenous People, Women from Its Websites 1 month ago:
Imagine dreaming to fly to space only to be denied having it because you also cared about the rights of indigenous people.
- Comment on LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs 2 months ago:
Just imagine how much money Microsoft must be investing in this mass surveillance program they are trying to sneak in under the guise of the AI in charge of its indexing.
- Comment on Moderators banning/censoring people arent oppressors violating your rights; they are customer service representatives curating the space for their intended costomers. All this to say, I see Karen. 2 months ago:
You see us as customers, by your own words.
- Comment on I never realized this 2 months ago:
People literally change their names because they feel like it, so I’m sure people do care outside the Internet, specially in circumstances of abuse.
- Comment on I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia 2 months ago:
This has very little to do with what our actual dystopia will do. I mean, I thought that this was by someone who was probably thinking of the families that lost someone to a coma and had been looking for grandchildren, but no, they are seriously suggesting this simply because of its utility… Even so, all hail the new future tech bro hivemind and all, but still, not very likely. If it is something that is capable of being truly considered by societies, it will also be capable of considering worse things over it.
- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 3 months ago:
Which is ridiculous and more intended as a warning to the public given that the groups that provide their bodyguards already have these sort of “hotlines” into law enforcement. They are just that afraid.
- Comment on Accused killer of US insurance CEO pleads not guilty to 'terrorist' murder 3 months ago:
They made it easy for him to plead not guilty, given all the charges they were trying to topple on top of him.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 4 months ago:
The only thing that might predispose women is when they get pregnant. Most forms of hunting don’t require excessive strength. This is not speculation, prehistoric people do not give a shit about your value system or how it imposes itself on science. Animals in animal world be animals.

They are, however, exceptionally adept at political speechwriting.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 5 months ago:
If they think that, they may have a problem with what they consider glorified. They may want to avoid recognizing parallels that are far more personal to them.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 5 months ago:
Germany be like, “Nazi symbols, NEIN!”, showing it is totally not missing the point, specially given whom they support.

- Comment on Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams 5 months ago:
The people that end up cashing in from those scams are the same people that end up supporting Trump & Musk.

He’s literally doing the same thing the platform owners are.
- Comment on The EchoChamberinator 9000! 5 months ago:
Social networks are crazy. It’s like they appeared and suddenly journalistic integrity does not matter anymore because your easily shaped feelings is equal to their fact.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 5 months ago:
Oh, I’m sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 5 months ago:
The amount of IP money grubbing in the IT industry is able to literally make millions out of sand, this is just more of it.
- Comment on So tired to see Elon Musk in my home page EVERY DAY 5 months ago:
He’s one of the richest yet divisive billionaires in the world who is putting his foot in the door in regards to social network, electric cars, and space travel, what did you expect? “I want to know about technology, but I also want to ignore this huge elephant in the room shitting on me.”
- Comment on I investigated millions of tweets from the Kremlin’s ‘troll factory’ and discovered classic propaganda techniques reimagined for the social media age. 5 months ago:
People complain about Russian troll factories, but hey, they are helping develop a reddit alternative so they can’t be all that bad.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 5 months ago:
I can see criminals easily exploiting this default behavior to stop the car and steal from those inside.
Where’s a Johnny cab when you need it, it knows how to deal with criminals.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 5 months ago:
A lot of those emulators, specially the SNES ones, make games better if not outright bearable. There’s a lot of games that I could not have completed without spending an absurd amount of time on them without saved states. The Nintendo games out there aren’t even exceptionally good, there are plenty of indie alternatives if people give them a chance. It’s biggest plus is that the brand does act in a way many AAA publishers fail to do, an assurance of a basic degree of quality.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 5 months ago:
It’s possible but reddit isn’t the only one looking for engagement, so are individual users. If a site has more users, it has more engagement and content. It is also not impossible to drop the lemmy name when you do go back there to make people aware of the alternative.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 5 months ago:
So rather than allow subs to remain preserved while the replace the mods in place they will push subs to shit on themselves in this latest bout of enshittification.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 5 months ago:
But those lawsuits aren’t at the federal level, they are at the state level, or so I understand. The secret service operates at the federal level.
