- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 1 week ago:
Yeah I suspect that’s right.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 1 week ago:
Someone will (and probably better). There are more cameras at protests than ever in history. What’s missing is mass action by complacent people.

Forgetting Ukraine?
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 2 weeks ago:
Party’s don’t have to be part of democracy though. Nonpartisan democracy might more achievable for China than the west currently as the size of their single party continues to grow. Though I kinda doubt there is a lot of appetite for it. I’m a firm believer in democracy but it’s hard to look at the hyper polarization of today’s parties as beneficial in any way. Especially in the simple two party American system.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 2 weeks ago:
These people benefit from a world where real evidence is buried and indistinguishable from deepfakes.
- Comment on Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years 3 weeks ago:
Who do you think will be doing this treatment?
- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 4 weeks ago:
We think you’re gonna love it.
- Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group 4 weeks ago:
No reason this would be mutually exclusive.
- Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but that’s damage to artists. AI music gives Spotify something to put into a playlist that they don’t have to pay even their meagre rate to.
- Comment on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes? 5 weeks ago:
How is paying a robot money in any way equivalent to paying a government to maintain society? It’s as if some of you can’t even tell the difference between public and private anymore.
- Comment on Typeframe 5 weeks ago:
With that definition you’d have a hard time finding any post on here that isn’t an ad.
- Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen 1 month ago:
That just comes standard on pretty much every SUV now. Half the electric vehicles here have a fuckin light bar across the front. It’s insane how much worse visibility is at night outside of towns. Add in more aging drivers and everyone else not even looking at the road and it’s not surprising.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 1 month ago:
What they know is Google though. Most normal people doing a search now just take the Gemini snippet at the top. They don’t know or care what AI even is really. I don’t know how OpenAI can possibly compete with web search defaults.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 1 month ago:
What’s with tech people always stating (marketing) things as akin to high end sports cars. The state of AI is more like arguing over which donkey is best, lol.
- Comment on Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking 1 month ago:
The pampered idiots that suggest these things would literally not survive a year of actual work at 40 hours let alone what they propose
- Comment on Google Revisits JPEG XL in Chromium After Earlier Removal 1 month ago:
And even can support RAW data. This will be such a huge benefit to still photographers. Multichannel data also allows scientists and astronomers to have access to a lot more data in an image file (plus alpha for transparency), even animation. Really is next level.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 2 months ago:
Googles push for everything is aggressive. Their apps constantly push Chrome on me.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 months ago:
Probably more to do with the fact that every app is now designed to gather as much data as possible to build an ad profile on you.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Businessmen milking talented dead people for as much as possible. Exactly what it’ll be used for.
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 months ago:
Did you get your entire idea of the art world from memes or something?
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 months ago:
Comments are wild. Amazes me how much of the tech world is completely oblivious the fact that art is interesting precisely because of the context and people involved.
- Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery 2 months ago:
How is it sampling when you don’t even know where it came from, don’t know who wrote the code to find it, and the actual companies barely even know how their own product works. Apples to dinosaurs.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 2 months ago:
This reads like an AI generated influencer fever dream. Insane1! MPV is a good project but I recently ended up not using it because Jellyfin for video has so many more features- kind of apples to oranges. I can’t imagine an MPV setup would ever approach a Jellyfin/Infuse setup - especially for non-technical family members. I ended up going Navidrome for music because of outside network access and the ability to download music offline which MPV can’t really do to my knowledge.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 2 months ago:
I’m sure this happens but with batteries the companies really are just desperately trying to get more capacity and life out of them. The chemistry just isn’t at all where they want to be.
- Comment on How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device 2 months ago:
Why would you ever give the benefit of the doubt to the largest ad company to ever exist whose entire existence and history depends on tracking user data. They literally just had too settle a lawsuit for tracking users when they said they wouldn’t in incognito mode.
There are plenty of little hints in Android that they want to enable tracking (eg. Bluetooth and exact location permissions being linked despite there being no real need to). Y’all need Graphene yesterday. And we all need a new total alternative since Apple is quickly chomping at the bit for ad income.
- Comment on An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ 2 months ago:
Save your soul for only 20.99 a month… wait I guess this isn’t really that new.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It’s not but it has had non-destructive adjustment layers for years before Gimp. It’s fine for a lot of things with a much better interface.
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 2 months ago:
This is the worst take I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 3 months ago:
Yes, but that’s like saying cutting trees is the same game when it went from handsaws to today’s harvesters. Technically they do the same thing, but the scale and efficiency is a world apart.
- Comment on OpenAI plans to launch an AI-only TikTok clone 3 months ago:
I agree although I suppose using AI may allow for even more distracting and “engaging” videos since they don’t need to follow the rules of reality or time. There can also potentially be way more content produced than is possible with a human population. Ugh.
