When you say “AI”, do you mean a large language model?
Then, no. A language model is not super intelligent.
Also, with respect to any artificial intelligence created by human beings in general, no. It is only designed to make predictions of text based on training on a corpus of text which is ultimately composed by a human mind or many human minds that are very fallible, prone to delusions, and also unaware of broader realities and dimensions of existence.

I’ll adjust and say that you’re, in my eyes, a “power user”, since I had not considered running my daily driver “headless” with WMs instead of with a DE until your comment. If “strong opinions” is too “strong”, I’ll also adjust and say I am interested in said evolving preferences and, more importantly, the reasoning behind them.

I’m what some call a normie Linux user, so I like desktop environments. I run KDE Neon on my main workstation, and then I have a laptop running CachyOS.
You seem like an expert who has strong opinions. I’m interested to listen and read about peoples less and dislikes about niche subjects, such as desktop environments.

Good. Well, bad, long-term, but the Gaming Journalism industry deserves it for their unabashed corporate glazing for favors.

Finally, someone agrees with me on the fucking bow tie thing.
Love the tie. Wear the tie. Talk about the tie. If you can’t tie the tie but you do the first 3, I can’t respect you.

Watched his videos sequentially in order, I’m honestly in a little bit of awe. The Stephen Crowder and Schaub ones were soooooooooo good.

I don’t know if it’s the root reason, but one gets scoffed at harshly by the average Tom, Dick, and Harry when suggesting that a Monarchy is an archaic and, frankly, insulting form of governance in spite of protestations that the role of the sovereign is purely ceremonial.
Simply put, they (mostly) seem to prefer political masochism, and are ruled by sadists. Sadly, in 2025, aren’t we all.

- Comment on The United States of Validation Addicts 3 months ago:
An opinion you’re seeking validation of? :)
No, I don’t need validation of my opinions, but depending on who it’s from, it’s nice to have when I recieve it. But, touché, nonetheless. 😉
Everybody thinks they’re so damn important, and they don’t matter at all.
On macro-scale, we/they don’t. I think what hits close to home is that too many people just aren’t fulfilled by only mattering to the people who really do care about them. Mattering to friends and family just ain’t enough to fill the hole inside, and their either unaware of it, they don’t care, or they’re ashamed of themselves and the guilt of their nihilistic consumption feeds their need to be congratulated for it.

Joe Rogan (to me) was “funnier” than Mencia. That’s not saying much.

I threw up in my mouth a little.

How Joe Rogan and his sphere of yes-men comedians were co-opted by billionaires with daddy issues (a recurring theme) to usher in a nation-wide simulacrum where anything can mean anything so techno-feudalists can rule with impunity. It also explores the recurring theme from previous videos, the death of satire and stand-up comedy as an art form.

- Comment on The United States of Validation Addicts 3 months ago:
The insatiable appetite for validation isn’t a new problem created by AI or social media but rather a symptom of a deeper cultural malaise: a society that has increasingly prioritized feeling good about oneself over being good, that has confused entitlement with justice, and affirmation with accomplishment.
A lot of people and self-styled “paragons of virtue” on
<insertSocialMediaHere>need to hear and understand this. Even Lemmings.My personal take is that a lot of this is caused by an apocalyptic fervor in thinking that late-stage capitalism has fucked everything up so badly that simply vocalizing the validation of one’s own desires is a “revolutionary and radically moral act” in the face of global techno-feudalism.
The irony is that this behavior on an individual level is exactly what techno-feudalism requires to propagate and entrench itself. The attitude of self-congratulatory nihilist futility feeds “care- not-for-the-morrow” consumerism which, in turn, feeds the economy of inflationary artificial scarcity required by the plutocrats to ensure their hegemony.
I don’t have hard data on this, so it’s just my opinion.

Are you trying to ask what is her weight if she’s 4’11" (149.86cm)?
I’m going to guess around 65kg. She looks a little bit “well-fed”, as they say, but not as bad as many hogs that populate the MidWest, the South, and Texas (holy shitballs, Texas) in the USA.

Hey dipshits:
The number of mouth-breathers who think every fucking “AI” is a fucking LLM is too damn high.
- Every artificial intelligence is not a deep neural network algorithm.
- Every deep neural network algorithm is not a generative adversarial network.
- Every generative adversarial network is not a language model.
- Every language model is not a large language model.
Fucking fart-sniffing twats.
