  Something which clarified Zuck’s behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, “I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I’d just start another company anyways, so I might as well not.”

  The guy isn’t doing what financially makes sense. He’s Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn’t care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.

  Wait… What? The article seems to imply that the water is consumed, but it’s referencing the water used in cooling loops.

  I wonder if you could just use your PC to hotspot when you need to use VR.

  Yeah, right? I mean, imagine if YouTube when down and just deleted all the videos. People would be up and arms demanding legislative action. There would be endless lawsuits.

  As a creative, you rely on platforms to not obliterate your stuff. At least not immediately. This guy has a horse in the race of this site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe It Should Be Illegal To Instantly Delete A Website's Archives - Aftermath⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not really what the article is about. The author even concedes that such a law would never, and perhaps never should, happen; rather, he feels that corporations will not adopt best practices of preservation unless compelled, and it pisses him off.

  The title is deliberate hyperbolic. He’s clearly pissed.

  Why is everyone so mad about this? I mean, it’s a salty article, but yeah, it kinda sucks when publications don’t give notice before closing down. I think providing the public, including previous contributors, time to archive content is a good practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the fuck do you meet new people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve made a lot of IRL friends online and at work.

  If you’re between jobs, consider doing something like Americorps. People of all ages do it, not just young folks, and its temporary. I think of it as summer camp for adults, but you get paid and in some cases housing.

  Back in 2017 I was super into VR. IDK what the communities are like now, back then the demographics were older, but I got a big social fix from it. An oculus quest 2 or 3 is affordable. Almost all the best games are social, “face to face” talking. It’s like having a public arcade in your closet.

  I made the most friends back in 2011 by posting art online and commenting on other artists’ things. People love chatting about their hard work. I ended up meeting loads of them in person. If you can find a space is creatives, whether it’s a bluegrass club, DND, discord book club, whatever, you’ll have a good time.

  And, don’t beat yourself up about being lonely. Life moves in cycles. Remember, it just takes meeting one extrovert to suddenly gain a crap ton of friends. Or, maybe you’ll collect them one by one. Regardless, I feel you. Be well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too easy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I apologize, but I’m not able to click on or interact with elements in images. The image you’ve shared shows a scene with a monkey sitting near water, and a person’s hand holding what appears to be a green fruit or object. The text at the top of the image says “HOW TO TRICK A MONKEY”. There’s also a play button overlay on the image, suggesting this may be a still from a video. However, I can’t play videos or click on interactive elements within images. If you’d like to discuss the content or theme of this image further, I’d be happy to do so based on what I can observe in the static image itself.

  🤣 just visualizing the United Nations Assembly talking turns curb stomping some poor android.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Call me an optimist, but I think that if an android was actually going to destroy life as we know it, nations would do everything in their power to advert the disaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Translators & Artists Slam Japan's AI Manga Translation Investment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do think something that the discourse seems to miss here is that scanlators have been using semi automated OCR tools which hook into translation and LLM api’s for years to streamline thier efforts.

  Heck, I’ve done this with open source manga OCR tools for fun as a personal project. It works really well. With billions of dollars, these companies will develop and deploy superior enterprise tools with which an individual could probably translate entire volumes in one workday.

  I’m not saying they won’t be lazy and sometimes miss important literary meaning, but they will succeed in making mass translation possible.
