- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 6 days ago:
It isn’t good at anything but it’s useful for a bunch of stuff. AI won’t take over anyone’s entire role yet but will assist in tasks for existing roles. It’s already being integrated into workflows and processes. All those interactions are being recorded and that record is what teaches AI how to do the tasks and eventually the role itself. It’s isn’t if, it’s when.

It never matters what is, only what people think, is.
- Comment on ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day 1 week ago:
Their job is to track, find, abduct, imprison and deport people. That skillset and logistic apparatus is as effective against everyone as it is immigrants.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
If they do it right, you won’t know what parts are AI. There’s a shit ton of work that goes on that users have no fucking clue about and would never know. AI isn’t just for obvious user facing content.

- Comment on A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over? 2 weeks ago:
The ultimate problem is greed and an uncontrolled lust for power.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
The inability, for those who do want to act, to get together is a major hurdle. We’re all surrounded by people who don’t care or can’t care. People wouldn’t feel so helpless if they actually found each other and came together regularly to talk, share info, suggest ideas, teach each other. There’s no reason a portion of the dem party cant self organize and start demanding real action, no party lines, no acceptance of the status quo.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
They have no fuckign clue what to do. Nobody teaches you how to oppose a fascist dictatorship and there are zero leaders doing so. It’s an entire damn education and skills training regime that people are too desperately poor to afford to figure out individually.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 3 weeks ago:
Or legislate that unsupported software becomes public domain or is open for development and the public can try and make the updates themselves.
Forcing people to upgrade entirely depends on the nature of the upgrades and the motive of the company. What we need is competition so there are alternatives for people to use if they don’t want to upgrade. But somehow Microsoft is not considered the monopoly of the PC OS market, despite being a monopoly, and uses that position to force changes nobody wants but them, like turning window into an AI data farming scheme that violates user privacy.
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Only Microsoft wants to upgrade. A product without a market in a monopoly is capitalism end game.

- Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 3 weeks ago:
Even if the tip was useful they can just claim to wasn’t and just not pay it out. Not like there’s an oversize process for it. Once they have the guy they can find the trail with whatever data they have and say they did it without the tip.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Yeah he was a straight up psychopath. Preferring sympathy means pitying the fate of others but not feeling their experience. Psychopaths generally see themselves a superior to others and pitying people for not being as awesome as they are, while also being confused about the experience of empathizing is exactly what a psychopath does.

- Comment on About Star Trek Starfleet Academy blacklash 1 month ago:
Until Star Trek returns to technological optimism and the pursuit of human improvement, I’m not interested. Take your high school, technologically cromagnon melodramas and shove them up your ass.

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 2 months ago:
Funny how its always so important to ban useful and empowering things for citizens in the name of safety but someone we can’t ban business practices that cause mass extinctions, change the climate, impoverish the working class or kill enough of us to only be seen as a statistic instead of people. If they actually cared about safety, they would be banning the things that cause mass suffering and death, not VPNs. We should be opposed to these kinds of bans on the principle that it further disempowered us so we are less able to deal with the threats of all the mass suffering and death that they refuse to keep us safe from.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 2 months ago:
