- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 1 day ago:
My partner gets some similar fancy eggs and loves them, but I have to hide 'em in something. They’ll definitely enhance a fried noodle dish, but if you’re just frying the egg on its own, I’ll pass.

I guess maybe some of us are more sensitive to sulfur than others. I’ve never had an egg that didn’t seem at least a little bit farty.
- Comment on Women receive more hatred for defending themselves against violence than men do being pedophile rapists 1 week ago:
Although the trial was Depp suing her for defamation, and the fact that she paid a settlement doesn’t actually mean anything was proven.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 1 week ago:
Ah no, definitely not losing your mind! I wish you luck (and infinite patience) in talking some sense into your friend.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 1 week ago:
“Crony capitalism” is a term invented by defenders of capitalism so that they can put all the bad parts of capitalism in a separate bucket and say “that’s not real capitalism.” It’s a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

In Ontario, we have “provincial offences officers”, aka “POOs”.
- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task – MIT Media Lab 2 weeks ago:
No it’s more complex than that. In the final session, participants were swapped between the LLM and Brain groups, and the effects persisted to some extent.
So it’s worse than “using an LLM doesn’t engage your brain”, it’s more like “using an LLM actually makes you dumber.”

- Comment on Revised Steam Survey For December 2025 Puts Linux Gaming Marketshare At 3.58% 3 weeks ago:
The Steam Deck’s AMD Custom GPU 0405 also saw a sharp dip in this revision going from 21.41% now to 13.37%.
I would have thought the Linux share would be mostly made up of steam decks, but seems that’s not the case!
- Comment on Hooded Horse ban AI-generated art in their games: "all this thing has done is made our lives more difficult" 4 weeks ago:
“I fucking hate gen AI art and it has made my life more difficult in many ways… suddenly it infests shit in a way it shouldn’t,” Bender told Kotaku in a recent interview. “It is now written into our contracts if we’re publishing the game, ‘no fucking AI assets.'” I assume that’s not a verbatim quote, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
I like this guy.

Your computer won’t even be a computer, just a display with an Internet connection to a data centre.
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t even recommend using LLMs in place of search engines, since they make stuff up. If it’s providing sources, you can check those, but you have to be rigorous enough to check every detail, which just isn’t realistic. People are lazy.
The best way I’ve heard them described is “bullshit machines”, and I don’t say that because I think they’re stupid, but because they “bullshit” as opposed to lying or telling the truth. When you’re bullshitting, the truth is irrelevant, as long as it sounds good. That’s exactly how LLMs work.
So if there’s a problem that can be solved by bullshitting, that’s where an LLM might be the right tool for the job.

40,000,000,000 watts
This doesn’t add up though. Fortnite’s player base is only about 10% PC, and the system requirements are pretty modest. It’ll even run on Intel integrated graphics, according to the minimum requirements from Epic.
There’s even a modest chunk (~6%) on Nintendo switch, which, according to Nintendo, draws about 7 watts when playing a game in TV mode.

“In the next decade” seems slow. I’m sure it’s not a simple or straightforward process, and maybe that’s just how long these things take, but at the rate the US is degenerating…

Yeah good point. Plus if it’s a website you can use it in private mode and not have evidence that you were helping people evade the gestapo all over your phone.

How do they think the sun works?
- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 4 months ago:
I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 4 months ago:
Who even has time to play full price games? I have enough unplayed games piled up in my steam/epic/gog libraries to keep me busy for decades.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 5 months ago:
Perhaps along with de-industrialization; as more labour is outsourced, less labour_ers_ are needed.
