Culture, which can change.
- Comment on United Nations wants to treat AI with same urgency as climate change 1 month ago:
I agree. It’s great to have machines do the work we don’t want to do so we can do other things with our lives.
We just need to get over this mentality that those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less.
- Comment on United Nations wants to treat AI with same urgency as climate change 1 month ago:
So… do nothing about it?
- Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code? 1 month ago:
Not really.
- Comment on Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code? 1 month ago:
Personally, I’ve found AI is wrong about 80% of the time for questions I ask it.
It’s essentially just a search engine with cleverbot. If the problem you’re dealing with is esoteric and therefore not easily searchable, AI won’t fare any better.
I think AI would be a lot more useful if it gave a percentage indicating how confident it is in its answers, too. It’s very useless to have it constantly give wrong information as though it is correct.
- Comment on Why is UI design backsliding? 2 months ago:
“Designers” desperate to stay relevant and make their worthless degrees seem worthwhile.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 2 months ago:
I actually just use my phone for internet and haven’t had a landline ISP for 2 years now.
Visible, $25/month has saved me so much money and they even sent me a free phone.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 2 months ago:
Everyone is different.
I personally think copyright and patent laws need to die. If you can’t protect your own secrets, don’t rely on taxpayer resources to do it for you.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 2 months ago:
Only because it would hurt their bottom line.

- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
It’s my understanding that backwards-compatible PS3s actually had PS2 hardware in them.
We can play PS2 and PS1 games if they are downloaded from the store, so emulation isn’t an issue. I think Sony looked at the data and saw they would make more money removing backwards compatibility, so that’s what they did.
Thankfully the PS3 was my last console before standards got even lower and they started charging an additional fee to use my internet.

Owner of original 60gb PS3 here.
It got very hot and eventually stopped working. It was under warranty and I got an 80gb replacement for $200 cheaper, but lost out on backwards compatibility which really sucked because I sold my PS2.

Why would they lay off their QA teams when its management and executives who make the decisions to cut corners?

- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
Yep.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
You didn’t subscribe.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
But you are effectively consuming them. Just like renting books and movies
No, you’re not. Consuming something means it is no longer available after consumption. We can’t “consume” media unless we destroy it afterwards.
Sorry, you’ve been played by industry talking points just to get you to spend as much money as possible. Now you’re doing your part in perpetuating them.
There’s a term for people like you, but I’ll refrain from using it here.
Goodbye. You may have the last word since you need to push your products on others.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
The problem is that you’re renting access to something you’re not actually consuming.
Once you stop paying, you lose access and have nothing to show for it. They still have your money, though.
This is different than, say, paying for electricity which is consumed and no longer available for either party after consumption.
Sorry bud, you’re defending being scammed.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
Hmm. It sounds to me you just don’t want to acknowledge when you’re being taken for a ride.
But hey, to each their own.
Businesses want a lifeline to our wallets, which is why subscriptions and renting is also pushed on useful idiots.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
What the fuck is this rent-a-center propaganda?
How stupid are we?
- Comment on AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says 6 months ago:
Found one.
- Comment on AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says 6 months ago:
Because they’re not actually pulling too much from the grid to cause damage to others or even the grid itself.
Any musings about curtailing AI due to power consumption is just bullshit for clicks. We’ll improve efficiency and increase productivity, but we won’t reduce usage.
- Comment on AI Computing on Pace to Consume More Energy Than India, Arm Says 6 months ago:
I like talking to AI because it uses grammar properly and I don’t have to structure my questions as though I’m dealing with an insecure retard on the internet.

Emulation, baby.
Use your brains before your wallets.

You guys ever notice how people only recommend movies/entertainment made in [CURRENT YEAR]?
Whenever I see someone recommend a movie, I immediately look up the year and discard their recommendation if it was released in the current year.
Too many great things go unnoticed because of useful idiots with more money than sense.
- Comment on Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range 6 months ago:
Maybe we should write an open letter to our senators and congressman
This has never, and will never work.
I don’t know why you people keep suggesting it.
We need to actually elect people who care about us, but they’re usually the ones in third parties.

Have you seen the pornos? Everyone gets laid with a Tesla. That alone is enough to get people to buy it.

Errr… will you ever have to? Lol.

Europeans actually care about their consumers.
Americans just view them as fat paypigs who are too stupid to fight for their own interests.
