- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 8 hours ago:
Yes. But if the machine has proven to work reliably it will usually do so for its lifetime, while humans are prone to e multitude of errors. Especially in the medical field.

I trust a good machine much more than any human.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 19 hours ago:
That’s such a fucking stupid idea.
Care to elaborate why?
From my point of view I don’t see a problem with that. Or let’s say: the potential risks highly depend on the specific setup.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 3 days ago:
Do billionaires count as red meat? I am asking for a friend.
- Comment on Connor Myers: As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI 5 days ago:
The idea of a world driven by robots empowered by AI methods, is really great. It gives freedom to everyone with almost no costs. Just doesn’t work so well with a capitalistic society as the one we currently have.
Such uses demand a non-capitalistic socio-economic system. Like some form of communism.
- Comment on ‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout 6 days ago:
It’s easy to try on that pairs of shoes. Those ignorants should go ahead and try building a community, try creating a video with some genuine effort regarding its content and - especially - edit it in an appealing way.
Heck, I was doing some Blender rendering for fun as a hobby and am occasionally recording some demo videos of a project I am working at for my supervisor. Sometimes it takes about two hours to edit a fucking 10 minute video. This is just a huge amount of work. No wonder any creator, who has reached a sufficient level of income, hires editors.

- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 1 week ago:
We don’t even have a clear definition of what “intelligence” even is. Yet a lot of people art claiming that they themselves are intelligent and AI models are not.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 weeks ago:
They have adapters. But yeah, would be nice to have a slot directly integrated.
- Comment on It is what it is 2 weeks ago:
That’s called victim blaming.
But yeah. I really hope people stop using Google products. Google is evil.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 4 weeks ago:
I know that words are tokenized in the vanilla transformer. But do GPT and similar LLMs still do that as well? I assumed they also tokenize on character/symbol level, possibly mixed up with additional abstraction down the chain.

“Let me know if you’d like help counting letters in any other fun words!”
Oh well, these newish calls for engagement sure take on ridiculous extents sometimes.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 4 weeks ago:
Reading comments of people who (hyper-) organize their games as if it’s a project to get through and they have to work off. And I’m sitting here just playing whatever the fuck I’m in the mood in. ._.
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 4 weeks ago:
Casually rotating 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses to bypass rate limits.
I am not in IT security, but find it fascinating what clever tricks people use to break (into) stuff.
In a better world, we might use this energy for advancing humanity instead of looking how we can hurt each other. (Not saying the author is doing that, just lamenting that ITS is necessary due to hostile actors in this world. )
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 4 weeks ago:
Ragebait?
I’m in robotics and find plenty of use for ML methods. Think of image classifiers, how do you want to approach that without oversimplified problem settings?
Or even in control or coordination problems, which can sometimes become NP-hard. Even though not optimal, ML methods are quite solid in learning patterns of highly dimensional NP hard problem settings, often outperforming hand-crafted conventional suboptimal solvers in computation effort vs solution quality analysis, especially outperforming (asymptotically) optimal solvers time-wise, even though not with optimal solutions (but “good enough” nevertheless). (Ok to be fair suboptimal solvers do that as well, but since ML methods can outperform these, I see it as an attractive middle-ground.) - Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 4 weeks ago:
Some AI researchers found it obvious as well, in terms of they’ve suspected it and had some indications. But it’s good to see more data on this to affirm this assessment.

Thanks for showing me where to find it. /j - Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 5 weeks ago:
Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 5 weeks ago:
Sure, they will. But some sooner than others. Therefore, you can save money by buying the more reliable alternative.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 5 weeks ago:
Yes, if you have money to burn, sure. I’ll go with the financially better approach.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t want to share a recommendation. I saw a post about Seagate and wanted to share my opinion about them.
Do you want a recommendation from me?
Idk, why you’re repeating yourself. If you have the option to choose between two products and you know from experience that one of them is useless earlier than the other, then it would be a waste of money to buy the inferior product as you would have to replace it sooner and therefore loose more money.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 weeks ago:
Probably. Although such low level interactions can also contribute. Depending on what someone wants to do or needs.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 weeks ago:
What’s crazy about that?
Haven’t heard of, e.g., Cambridge Analytica?
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 5 weeks ago:
Sure. But in my experience Seagate drives are significantly worse. So why spend money on a shit company producing shit drives, if I can spend it on products of another company where I get more use and lifetime out of the product?
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have the time right now to addeess all of this, but:
Device interactions can be used to identify users, predict and manipulate their behaviour, contribute to further identification measures etc…Furthermore my point was that there are many reasons to be cautious about any type of data collection and processing. Saying a specific type would be ridiculous undermines the possible dangers stemming from this. Therefore I wouldn’t plainly discard these concerns.
Even if, in this context, the transmission is not widely noticed, this doesn’t pose a universal guarantee, especially if this can be turned on on demand via backdoors, trojans or whatever. Even worse if the transmission can be hidden. (Less likely for very proficient users with extremely tight network monitoring & control, but that’s rarely the case.)
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 5 weeks ago:
Ah yes. Seagate. The trash storage device company. If you want to burn your money, just throw it into a fire before buying this e-waste.
Can not recommend.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 weeks ago:
Of course not, that’s ridiculous.
angry Snowden noises
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 weeks ago:
That’s the difference between North Korea and the western world:
In North Korea the government forces spyware onto your device.
In the western world, people share their data voluntarily and publicly.
Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox and Co. made it possible.
- Comment on China's first 6nm GPU boots up, targets performance parity with RTX 4060 1 month ago:
As usual with very much wow inventions from China.
Not to say that they don’t have clever people there doing cool stuff. It’s just my experience that such articles are often overselling something which does not live up to the claim

What a funny coincidence that I’ve hear about this discord alternative in a post just a couple before this one in feed.
