You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
- Comment on Did Stanford just prototype the future of AR glasses? 6 months ago:
Of course they exist.

Stop trying to make AR glasses happen.

Is there a difference?
- Comment on Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance” 6 months ago:
Is it, though?
- Comment on The first step of gentrification is that the people that protest gentrification have moved in 6 months ago:
Meh, that’s me. I don’t so much protest gentrification as much as I want to work to ensure my neighbors can continue to live here and reap the benefits themselves as the neighborhood improves. You can’t convince me that the people who have lived here for decades want to live in neglected, under-developed, under-supported, neighborhoods.
- Comment on Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance” 6 months ago:
I mean, the planet’s dying, but ok. At least we’ve got robots that “excced human performance” in making their overlords profits. Imagine if these scientists were putting their efforts to real use.

That wasn’t the point of the article though. It isn’t either/or.
- Comment on Fake Photos, Real Harm: AOC and the Fight Against AI Porn 7 months ago:
“The legislation amends the Violence Against Women Act so that people can sue those who produce, distribute, or receive the deepfake pornography, if they “knew or recklessly disregarded” that the victim did not consent to those images.”–The article.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 7 months ago:
Anything you would watch on tv is available free on the internet. No subscriptions, even Netflix. I"m not being sarcastic. Hang your f’ing monitor on the wall, then. That’s all that makes this “tv” different. Well, and its advertisements.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 7 months ago:
I don’t understand why anyone uses one of these,when you can stream anything you want for free on your computer in your web browser.

Parents can be licensed for use by other companies.

😉
- Comment on We should count in base four 7 months ago:
If someone asks me for “a few” I’ll give them three or four. If someone asks for “multiple” I’ll give them a handful and ask if that’s enough.
I don’t know where in the world this theory is coming from, but here, two would be “a couple” and three+ would be “a few.” Not that “a pair” (never just pair) and multiple aren’t used in other contexts, but you wouldn’t use pair and multiple in the same context. A pair is specific, multiple is an estimate.

They look so fucking stupid I can’t imagine them ever being worth the resources wasted on development.

Platforms should be held responsible for the content its users publish on it, full stop.
- Comment on Tim Berners-Lee: Marking the Web’s 35th Birthday: An Open Letter 8 months ago:
Why does this guy think he invented the web? I don’t know enough to say he didn’t, but why does he think so?
Wasn’t it a multi-person/org effort? Isn’t that why everyone laughed at Al Gore when he implied the same? After going on about the need to decentralize, this guy wants to take the credit himself?
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 8 months ago:
I tried that, but eventually they just all blended so that now I’ve got three different windows with 50 of the same tabs open.

No. No it’s not.
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 8 months ago:
It’s about tf time.

- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 8 months ago:
You’re just shifting responsibility to the population that has no real control over the matter. That’s completely unethical.

Idk, I’m a woman approaching my senior years who had to have someone else install it. My whole household is on Linux. None of us are in IT.

Not for you or I.

Same, same.
- Comment on A Response to Nature's "Google AI has better bedside manner than human doctors — and makes better diagnoses" 8 months ago:
It’s also a puff piece, though it does contain the common and increasingly-comical self-flagellation at the end about how all these models are probably racist. Like all corporate DEI initiatives, everyone involved is only interested in admitting the problems in such a way as to avoid ever challenging the power structures that replicate them.
Ask me how much time I’m spending on (and how much they’re paying me to si through) DEI training at work. I mean, Im not against it, but if the CEO isn’t gonna share the internal power structure, wtf is the point?
In functioning countries, healthcare is publicly owned, publicly operated, publicly accountable, and guaranteed to all residents. In other words, it’s democratized. Compare that to living in a country where millions of people do not have access to medical care and where Google is actively working on a proprietary chatbot alternative to doctors,
(While calling it democratization of healthcare)
which gets a puff piece in the most prestigious scientific journal, and ponder what working in or writing about tech does to a motherfucker.
- Comment on Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox 8 months ago:
No, there really isn’t. There isn’t going to be any form of technology where you can be free if it. And in that case, I don’t see how it will be possible for Mozilla to avoid it, even if they want to. At the very least, Firefox will have to interact with it elsewhere. It’s really best that they start figuring out what that’s going to look like, if a bit late.
