  Microsoft also works with American intelligence, like other corporations. They won’t even fix zero day exploits without first letting the NSA know in advance. Telecoms have black rooms whose entire purpose is to siphon data directly to the authorities, Microsoft probably has a whole building.

  If they have a model without morals then that changes things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine being racist and wanting to enjoy it instead of making it political. In the US it’s culture war shit. In Europe you can go to a football match and throw bananas at the black players and it’s chill. It’s just easier to be casually racist in Europe because racism doesn’t exist there, and if it does, it’s not as bad as America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The duality of man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the context of aggressive foreign policy where we bomb the shit out of people… They are probably referring to how in the 1910s USA was stumbling through an incursion into Mexico to fight rebels / raiders. As we joined WW1, some saw us as a rowdy militia, like cowboys. We had to borrow materiel because we weren’t yet a proper war-machine like European countries were. Exactly 100 years ago that wasn’t the case though. Yet there would still be quite a ways to go until the era of “top 3 air forces” and super carriers patrolling the globe while drones blow ‘terrorists’ to smithereens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is slop. Not necessarily AI generated, but definitely dumbass-generated.

  Literally not one ounce of effort. No digging into vague studies Republicans are talking about. No overview of Wikipedia’s current policy. No questions posed to someone who knows about Wikipedia and/or government attempts to control the narrative.

  It’s not even a good thing that the “article” only tells you the core facts. Too much goes unsaid. No context might as well be a hallucination from an AI for how much it bridges the gap between what you think and what reality contains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Train your brain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They spent a lot of money and political capital to train their AI just for it to get leaked back to the masses.

  If only every AI company scraping the internet would have their model be given back to the people. It’s the minimum they could do.

  Stealing a slur from Star Wars and engaging in traditional name calling to show we disapprove of uncreative slop.

  We can’t even think of an original term. We can’t think of a novel way to shit on AI. We just copy what everyone else is doing to make fun of the plagiarism machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI was a common theme at Gamescom 2025, and while some indie teams say it's invaluable, it remains an ethical nightmare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How much do you know about transformers?

  Have you ever programmed an interpreter for interactive fiction / MUDs? It’s a great example of the power that even super tiny models can accomplish.

  Also consider that Firefox or Electron apps require more RAM and CPU and waste more energy than small language models. A Gemma slm can translate things into English using less energy than it requires to open a modern browser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But even before recent tariffs, modern console prices weren’t dropping nearly as fast as history suggested they should. In fact, Sony first raised the nominal starting price of the PS5 Digital Edition back in 2023, way before Trump’s current trade war was even on the horizon.

  I’m not saying Trump is to blame but this is misleading. Trump hurt our economy with tariffs during his first term nearly 10 years ago. During 2023 he was releasing “Agenda 47” policies, in which he specifically mentioned more tariffs. Here’s Trump threatening tariffs 8 months before Sony raised the price

  There’s two types of gamers.

  People who like sandboxes with the understanding that there are some toys / structures to play with.

  People who just like playing in sand and don’t care if a sandbox is literally just a box of sand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To explore AI bias, researchers pose a question: How do you imagine a tree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So like… You ask the model about styles and it says ‘diagrammatic’ and you ask for an artistic but diagrammatic tree or whatever and that affects your worldview?

  If people just ask for a tree and the issue is they didn’t get what they expected, I don’t care. They can learn to articulate their ideas and maybe, just maybe, appreciate that others exist who might describe their ideas differently.

  But if the problem is the way your brain subtly restructures ideas to better fit queries then I’d agree it’s going to have ‘downstream’ effects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What changed between the ‘months of torture’ and Naruto and Safine being arrested, and the '10 days ’ leading up to his death?

  It sounds sick that the French government would decide a man is being tortured yet they’re not obligated to intervene… while at the same time they fine a company for not stepping in.

  If this man was negligently killed, authorities and kick are to blame, but it’s the authorities that should’ve been the failsafe, not the company. I can see why French politicians are Very Mad™ and Seriously Considering Bigger Punishments™.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He made adult music knowing it would be listened to by children. At some point in his career he must have realized he was talking directly to children while in the studio.

  I’m sure he cares about kids and isn’t just a stupid asshole saying a line because something pulled his string.

  You got a stick in your ass, Snoop!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pollsters Are questioning AI Instead of Real People⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be interesting if they knew how to use LLMs. If I wanted output based on a middle class old white woman I would put effort into capturing that person in tone and style. Not just prompt with “respond like a old white woman please” It’s like they don’t yet grasp how to structure the landscape around their target output for the LLM to latch onto.

  They should also consider that there’s a difference between a human saying something for another human to hear, and a human having a belief. There’s a fundamental gap between “what does this white woman think?” and a white woman telling a survey in public that she approves/disapproves of Trump.

  Asking an LLM to respond in such a way, using such sterile tone… it just completely fails to capture the nuance I (naively) expected them to account for.

  The 0.1% are like turbo hedonists. If they beat the population into being severe ascetics then the ones who stick out will be: elites, politicians, authorities, politicians, suck-ups, spoiled heirs, politicians, etc.

  I think all the little things people do help contribute to the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mentality. Take that away and there’s going to be significantly less tolerance for corruption.

  And they’ll create a system where the only way to vote is to spill blood.
