Reddit sucks
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 4 days ago:
But we love our mods. What about freedom of speech online? People just too addicted to porn and can’t even muster an ounce of criticism or critical thinking.
- Comment on GitHub is Leaking Trump’s Plans to 'Accelerate' AI Across Government 4 days ago:
They can barely get a decent website running and they want to jump to AI integrations. Scary.
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 4 days ago:
Exactly. The world is addicted to porn.
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 4 days ago:
Didn’t say anything about banning porn or social media. Just saying that they’re both addictive and have negative consequences on society. Yall can keep your porn. Relax.

If you at all think that people can be addicted to social media, you could draw a correlation from this to porn addiction.
I know a lot of you either don’t think porn can be addictive and/or don’t think it can have negative effects on society.
Ask yourselves why the logic works for social media but not porn.

One thing to note is that I’m pretty sure these are user-generated chatbots and not official Meta therapy chatbots.
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 1 week ago:
I agree. I guess I don’t watch YouTube enough for it to be a big burden. Just mute it for a few seconds.
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 1 week ago:
The ad revenue YouTube gets should be paying the content creators, no?
- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 1 week ago:
Y’all pay for YouTube?

Fuck Reddit
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 2 weeks ago:
In the beginning though many I’ve ruins didn’t fill much of a purpose. When TV was invented maybe a handful of programs were available. People still had more use for radio. Slowly it became what it is today.
I get it though. The middle phase sucks because everybody is money hungry. Eventually things will fall into place.

Not sure how far back you’re talking but for a VERY long time they have been and continue to be in the business of what feeds the machine.
Why do you think we have computers in our possession 24/7? Not because we wanted it, but because they told us we wanted it and it enabled us to be available to feed the machine 24/7. You can work more. You can buy more.
Social media? Feeds the machine.
Television? Feeds the machine.
Cars? Feeds the machine.
Phones. Telegraphs. Fucking lightbulbs.
All used to feed the machine.

It actually makes a lot of sense. AI is a good use case for case management. The problem is how much you depend on it without human intervention, but even humans fuck up, especially if they’re following the same rules and processes that the AI tool would. The AI tool just gets through cases faster, so in theory you can sus out root causes sooner.

Anybody who thinks their privacy was ever secure on social media platforms is incredibly naive

Makes sense. There were sensors alll over that thing.

The article doesn’t mention anything about where the cars will be driving in Austin, but I reluctantly took a Waymo from the airport in Phoenix to a hotel and it did really well. Even slowed down for a guy who was jaywalking.
It ended up taking longer than expected because apparently they’re either require or trained on different roads than you would normally take (e.g. no highways). It did such a good job, though, that I ended up taking a Waymo a second time while there.
All this to say that it may not be ready for all roads, but is ready for some. Definitely still scary though.

Apparently reading doesn’t make you smart or enable you to engage in meaningful discourse.

- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 2 weeks ago:
This comment is so pretentious and yet so dumb. Nice job. Capitalism only works if people are spending money. There’s no getting around that. If people elect to spend money on goods they don’t need and in turn those companies producing the goods are harming people then they are responsible. Should they not be “Luigied?”
- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 2 weeks ago:
But if the citizens didn’t fund the company’s greed, they wouldn’t exist. Plenty of examples of things people don’t need that they continue to buy, and support unethical business operations leading to harm.
- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 2 weeks ago:
But they have to be rich, right? I’m interested in the criteria.
What about a nation that supports a company who produces goods that allow the company to make profit, and the production of the goods harms people’s lives (e.g. pollution or poor working conditions in the production country). Somebody should police that nation. Maybe bomb the nation?

- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 2 weeks ago:
If you’re a man I would propose the notion that you only have the perspective of the part of society that is predominantly watching porn and who is predominantly sexual abusers. Your perspective is limited and it’s evident by arguments you make. For example, limiting the support for your opinions to light or moderate porn viewing and that the porn doesn’t include non-consenting individuals or underage, etc. you’re completely ignoring the problem areas the maintain your point of view. Try thinking outside your bubble just as an exercise. Don’t mean this in an offensive way. I can understand your perspective and as such the narrow-sightedness of it.

I’m convinced this was written by GPT. We disagree on how good or bad porn is for society and the youth, so the rest doesn’t even matter.

You show your ID and a notary enters their credentials to allow you to create an account with your fingerprint or FaceID.
Your ID doesn’t get saved. Your biometrics are only saved in the way that your iPhone saves them for a password.
Work with me. What’s a solution that would be acceptable for you? Get creative.

Plenty of good, non-AI technologies out there that businesses are just slow or just don’t have the budget to adopt.
