- Comment on India orders phone makers to pre-install state-owned web safety app: Report 1 week ago:
These numbers are like proclaiming you won an “election” with 90% votes.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 1 week ago:
Yeah… There goes my subscription. I’m casting everything to Chromecast on my older TV.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 2 weeks ago:
That’s the thing. They wont pay you more. Maybe some people would get the extra money, but all new employees would get the same salary for more hours.
- Comment on The Supreme Court Is About to Hear a Case That Could Rewrite Internet Access 2 weeks ago:
Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.
Now they fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.
If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.
People are willing to do it, if there’s no service that’s worth it’s money.
Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.
- Comment on [Opinion] X users in USA don't like that we have an opinion about them? Tough 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, just maybe, MAGA supporters will one day realize that the reason there’s so many foreign bots making propaganda about Trump, is because it weakens the US.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good point. But The Führer is not something positive, and I wouldnt think much about it.
I’m don’t think this was an intentional way to make him sound better. I think we should be much more aware of fact checking what it says, than overusing a historical word to describe Hitler. That might just be an AI thing.
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 2 weeks ago:
Tbh, from a historical point of view, The Führer was used to describe Hitler. Now in Germany, it’s basically only used to refer to him.
I’m not for deleting history, and I think the context is important. People needs to know why The Führer or “der Führer” is bad.
A context which I think would have helped in another example would be the N-word. If everyone was really taught the history around that word, I think/hope alot of people would think twice before using it today.
Or is that only me?
- Comment on Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.” 2 weeks ago:
Jesus would’ve hated America. I think according to the bible he lost his shit twice - both because of capitalism.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Most games being released aren’t even worth my time, let alone my money.
I dont think you are in their target group then.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 3 weeks ago:
Should be illegal for a company to comment on the stock market. It’s basically manipulation.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 3 weeks ago:
Exactly my point, which means you missed it.
The things you quoted pointed to the things making CEOs less important, while other points the opposite.
So just to be very clear about my point: CEOs are very different jobs. Some can be cut, some cant, because CEO doesnt really mean anything other than “person in charge”.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 3 weeks ago:
If we need to make good arguments against CEOs, at least try a little.
Wouldnt it be possible that “CEO” is different things in different companies?
Would it be possible that CEOs have people employed to take some of their tasks? Some CEOs, all their tasks?
Is a CEOs job the same when theres 50 people under him/her or 5000? Which do you think could run itself the best?
I also want the CEO job to be handle by someone who actually has a function, and is a good leader with morale and empathy.
But just saying “muuuh CEO bad because!!” is killing the discussion.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 3 weeks ago:
That’s why a CEO in the future will be 100% networking and the AI will hand the decisions over for him/her to “make”.
- Comment on Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace 3 weeks ago:
Why would you assume that the AI who takes the CEO job will be a LLM or “chat bot”?
It might use a LLM to communicate the ideas, but probably not for large scale business strategi.

Fuck that guy for saying that. Just asked for 1trillion dollars at Tesla, and now he wants to sell you a dream that money is irrelevant.
Money is his only power. No way.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 3 weeks ago:
Thanks mate, I edited my post for clarity.
- Comment on Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away 3 weeks ago:
If only there was a way to fund open source projects so we both could have better software for the world and paid employees…
I think you can guess which government body already do this. Just take a shot.
- Comment on The increase in literacy rates around the world is perhaps one of the most beautiful occurance of the past 100 years, perhaps the most beautiful thing in the entire history of humanity. 3 weeks ago:
And “the western world” only including the UK and USA? Lol.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 3 weeks ago:
Even if they did, the importance of decentralising the internet away from a few big providers is no joke.
- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 3 weeks ago:
It’s very normal for countries to DDOS each other to test their limits, and if it could be incorporated in an attack.
And yes, of course the US is also testing this against other nations.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Everything is for sale in capitalism.
- Comment on HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access 3 weeks ago:
Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.
They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.
- Comment on Hytale announces a return 3 weeks ago:
Going up against Minecraft. About time someone makes a serious contender. I’ll watch this one.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 weeks ago:
Steam Machine is also bigger. Small costs money if you want powerfull.
Also, it’s newer hardware.
I also think it will be priced at least a 100€ above the Deck, but I would also be willing to pay that for a console/living room computer.
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 4 weeks ago:
Yes. It worked with Chat Control (even though it wouldnt have passer anyway. Didnt even go to voting.)
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 5 weeks ago:
I understand where you come from with the beetle example, though I would still consider most living creatures more intelligent.
But it is a diffenition of intelligens we debate now. The beetles intelligens is not interesting for us, but it sure is capable of image, sound and movement capabilities on a much higher level in real time.
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 5 weeks ago:
Doesnt matter if we take LLMs out of the equations. AI is being worked on in many forms constantly.
Palantir is an example, which makes the statement laughable.
- Comment on Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race 5 weeks ago:
No one has been working on AI for a while…
It’s rage bait… Or the guy is the most ego centric arrogant who only thinks the reality in is his 15 headlines a day.
- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 5 weeks ago:
Well, it’s not game development, but bugfixes and quality testing.
I dont know, but it does makes sense, when there’s still 30% work being done by human eyes. There will still be people checking everything through.
Even if they hit 50-50, they could put more money into the development.
The argument that they will just save the money only works as long as another company doesnt use it for game devs. Otherwise you naturally fall behind.
- Comment on Microsoft Can't Keep EU Data Safe From US Authorities 5 weeks ago:
Or even better - stop using US services all together.
It’s the hardest one to do, but it’s way more effective. They will shit on the rules anyway.
