- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 1 day ago:
But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 1 day ago:
I’m skeptical they could do it in a way that inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn’t support the windows ecosystem.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 day ago:
She didn’t even use the Bible as a source - did not mention a single verse. She basically using herself as the sole source because there are 0 citations.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 day ago:
She didn’t even quote the Bible, just asserted that her interpretation is the right one without mentioning a single verse.

I’m going to call a spade a spade.
In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.

If you don’t like the competition then don’t participate in said competition. Other people don’t agree with you and that’s okay.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
So you would say a godot competition is silly because it restricts developers from using other game engines? Now you’re just being silly.

Some people provide translated subtitles and the app does have a built in translator function. I found it’s enough to converse, but definitely niche.

I haven’t been banned yet, but then again I save all my shitposts for the fediverse and stick to book reviews on RedNote.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
The rules being “idiotic” is a different issue from whether using pre-existing assets as placeholders is okay. For instance, one could argue that genAI, even during the concept phase, is an unfair advantage like taking steroids for a sports competition. For the purpose of fairness they might have a blanket ban on genAI.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
Like I said, when talking about morality you’re talking about a subjective perception of value. All the other issues I mentioned, like them not following the rules, have objective criteria to say “yes they broke the rules”. If your perception of authenticity includes gathering inspiration not from the originator but from a tool that samples art for you, then you would obviously conclude the end result is authentic. If however you define authenticity as something uniquely in the domain of the living, then they would not agree with you.
- Comment on Hey Grok 3 days ago:
She changed her last name to not be associated to the guy. I can at least respect she doesn’t want to be defined by her opposition to her father.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
I would say that this is conflating different issues. The original issue is whether or not the entry followed the stated rules, they did not. Then you brought up whether using any tool at all is cheating or plagiarizing, obviously it is not. Now we are on a 3rd issue which is whether using genAI for placeholders is actually creative, obviously it is not because it isn’t part of the final creative product. And a 4th issue as to whether using AI is a “sin” or not, that is less obvious not because it depends on one’s moral framework and their values. For instance, if one values authenticity then they would likely agree using AI as part of the process makes a less authentic product, while someone who values profit or time more than authenticity would not see an issue with its use.

Most humans can learn on the fly though. If they see people taking turns at a broken stoplight they’re likely to follow that example.

It makes stonks go up
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
Yeah, that’s exactly what I am saying 🙄
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
Did genAI help you write this response? Because that would explain not understanding the difference between using tools to be creative and using tools to plagiarize.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 days ago:
I just think it’s sad when people diminish the work of others
My brother in Christ, that is one major reason people don’t like generative AI.

It could be different but that is what the companies are stating as their operational life span when they report their financials. They used to say they would only last 4 years…
- Comment on Leftists should stop trying to change the world, and use those new skills, knowledge and strengths (after trying to wake Liberals up) to survive the accelerating US collapse. Be selfish. Make moves. 2 weeks ago:
I agree people are selfish but I disagree on where that leads us. Acting as a collective is the best way to be selfish. Billionaires have their collectives: corporations; and if you don’t do the same then you are not even selfish, you are just cattle.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t seen this mentioned yet: the RAM they are making for these AI chips are built to burn up after 6 years. The RAM is built into the processing units to reduce latency but the whole unit is designed with short planned obsolescence so burning out after 5-6 years is expected. The assumption is that by the time they burn up they you will replace them with a more energy efficient unit.

How exactly was it brilliant of him to say Mamdani can call him a fascist?
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 4 weeks ago:
Most people are living paycheck to paycheck… But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you “own” can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.

- Comment on Meta - There's Levels To This Shit 5 weeks ago:
Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 1 month ago:
Being right isn’t as important as doing right. I have better things to do with my time, unlike marketers.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 1 month ago:
The truck says “War” on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don’t need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 1 month ago:
Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.

My guy, I would repeat myself as well if I thought it would help.

I didn’t realize what is good or bad is reducible to what I alone experience and everyone else can fuck off.
