I do believe gorilla piss exista.
I do not believe drinking gorilla piss would grant you gorilla strength (citation needed).
- Comment on If there is a doctor that only saves killers, and a killer only kills other killers, I wonder who would save/kill more people? 3 days ago:
It depends on how many people the killers would kill after their iteration with the doctor or the metakiller.
To the number of total future victims you add the number of killers. Then to the number of total future victims you rest the number of killers for the doctor. You compare both numbers, the smallest number win.
- Comment on If there is a doctor that only saves killers, and a killer only kills other killers, I wonder who would save/kill more people? 3 days ago:
For instance: If the killers are killers for killing only one person and are killed by the metakiller after the fact. The doctor is saving lives while the killer is just taking them.
As a general rule: Under the assumption that killers would not kill again after being declared killers then the doctor will always save more lives than the metakiller.

It’s already out?
I actually wants to buy it. Developer is actually a good guy. Many years making great videogames and neven enshitifying.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 4 weeks ago:
Love the idea. Making errors is human. I have distrust for people who never admit being wrong. They are just wrong sometimes, as anyone else, they are just unwilling to admit it.
This would be an easy way to parse of a person have admitted being wrong more or less times.

I think 5 million is ok number as a top. As long as it has been earned working.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
You do you. I’ve been decades doing political activism. I just advice to keep expectations checked because I’ve seen so many people burning themselves out of not being able to achieve unrealistic political goals, and, what’s worse, ending up picking on small innocent people because they are the only ones they can impose their will on.
It’s good to keep making people conscious of the dangers of AI. But knowing what is expected, for yourself, and trying not to target people won’t deserve being targeted our of misdirected anger.
My best approach is taking a constructive approach. Do something by hand myself and enjoying it.
- Comment on After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us' 2 months ago:
It’s good to have morals, but also to have realistic expectations.
We haven’t been able to stop dlc, micro transaction, gambling… I don’t think we would be able to stop AI in videogames.
I have the suspicion that all these quick and fast remakes in HD are pulling AI assets as crazy to be able to have results quickly and cheap.
Going too hard ln these devs, which doesn’t seem like bad people won’t ever change what EA. Ubisoft, Nintendo or any big player will do. It would only hurt this small studio for nothing.

It’s a great way to play games in something like sn emulation box. I just installed it yesterday on my emuelec station.

The one that allows me to do the smallest possible human iteration.
- Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive 2 months ago:
We don’t know what causes gravity, or how it works, either. But you can measure it, define it, and even create a law with a very precise approximation of what would happen when gravity is involved.
I don’t think LLMs will create intelligence, but I don’t think we need to solve everything about human intelligence before having machine intelligence.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.
Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.
And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
I think the issue is that many sites are too aggressive with it. Anubis can be configured to only ask for challenges if the site is under unusual load, for instance when a botnet it’s actually ddosing the site. That’s when it shines.
Making it constantly ask for challenges when the service is not under attack is just a massive waste of energy. And many sites just enable it constantly because they can defer bot pings from their logs that way. That’s for instance what op is doing. It’s just a big misunderstanding of the tool.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
I don’t know if “anything”. But surely people overestimate kits capabilities.
It’s only a PoW challenge. Any bot can execute a PoW challenge. For a smal to medium number of bots the energy difference it’s negligible.
Anubis it’s useful when millions of bots would want to attack a site. Then the energy difference of the PoW (specially because Anubis increase the challenge if there’s a big number of petitions) can be enough to make the attacker desist, or maybe it’s not enough, but at least then it’s doing something.
But most people it’s not getting attacked and getting ddos by millions of bots.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
You are right. For most self-hosting usecases anubis is not only irrelevant, but it actually works against you. False sense of security and making your devices do extra work for nothing.
Anubis is though for public facing services that may get ddos or AI scrapped by some not targeted bot (for a target bot it’s trivial to get over Anubis in order to scrap).
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
I don’t think you have a usecase for Anubis.
Anubis is mainly aimed against bad AI scrappers and some ddos mitigation if you have a heavy service.
You are getting hit exactly the same, anubis doesn’t put up a block list or anything. And most bots are not AI scrappers they are just proving. So the hit on your server is the same.
What you want is to properly set up fail2ban or, even better, crowdsec. That would actually block and ban bots that try to prove your server.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 2 months ago:
It’s possible with certificates and 2fa issued by a government, which already have all your data, that would only verify that you are over 18.
We already have that in Spain, sort of. We have a government app where you have a digital id stored and you can make it create a verify qr that only shows if the user is over 18 or under 18, no more data. The qr only last 5 minutes active.
It is necessary? Not for internet access. That’s a duty of the one paying for internet in the household, not the government.
- Comment on How do you handle junk email? 2 months ago:
My “important” emails work on a white list basis. So every sender not approved by me goes to spam. When I’m waiting for an email I’ll check the spam folder for it and white list the sender.

If it were to be a revolution he would be given the chance. Just be a director of valve for a normal director salary. If he take it then he would be just another worker.

- Comment on "Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow 3 months ago:
I mean, I don’t really enjoy characters I like changing overtime. They are nor “people” they are just stories, I don’t necessarily want the best for them. I just want them to keep providing the same interesting stories that hooked me on them to begin with.
If they change is hit or miss, and they may loose the thing I like about them.
- Comment on "Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow 3 months ago:
I guess after no way home that stopped. I don’t know much about next movie but my guess would be a more “street level solitary” spiderman.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 months ago:
I walk by some neighborhood bars, that are cheap and still some people go everyday like the Simpsons.
Videogames are better. I’ve come to recognize some of the “local drunks” that are there every day, they do be like Barney from the Simpsons. It seems a little depressing looking at them destroying themselves with booze.
