- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 2 hours ago:
Funny how triggering it is for some people when anyone acknowledges humans are just evolved primates doing the same pattern matching.

You assume humans do the opposite? We literally institutionalize humans who not follow set patterns.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 5 days ago:
Sure, I’m making some assumptions based on patterns I’ve seen.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 5 days ago:
Yeah, there have been various leaks over the years that trickle out. Supposedly they’ve banned companies from operating in the US for refusal to comply with backdoor demands (Hawei, Kaspersky), some reports of backdoors built right into both Intel & AMD processors, some vague stuff that’s come out about backdoors in Windows, etc. Even when the companies refuse to comply, there’s been reports of US intelligence going into factories or intercepting deliveries to install spy chips into hardware. I recall there was a local ISP provider somewhere in the mid-west that got shut down for refusing to install spy devices in their facilities.
Really a lot of this was confirmed as far back as Snowden. And plenty of whistleblowers and leaks since.

Well when these things get posted, you’ll see an unnatural flood of downvotes & angry comments come in. Definitely seems like some kind of coordinated brigading. Or could just be one asshole with a bot farm.

I really don’t get it. There’s definitely a group of ideologues that are pushing anti-meat on here, and flood any post on the topic. Something like that either needs funding or volunteers coordinating. I’m guessing either extremist anti-meat groups, or big ag astroturfers trying to make them look bad.

It’s funny, because it’s their government’s version of knockoff spyware, and decades out of date. Western governments get a live feed out of their backdoors.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 6 days ago:
Yep. And I’m a big supporter. We should use the cleanest methods available as appropriate for each application.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 6 days ago:
Fuck the cost. The planet is going to be unfit for human habitation in a generation or two, while ecosystems and ocean current collapse kills everything else.
All that matters is if it’s cleaner. Stop ruling out options because they’re not market friendly.
- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 1 week ago:
The writer clearly understands that something isn’t adding up with Microsoft’s claims about TPM, but nowhere do they address the accusations that Microsoft plans to use it as DRM (and potentially spying).
Similarly, only supporting certain CPU’s is suspect as hell. Between all this and Recall, it really feels like the driving design focus behind Windows 11 was to build the best spying machine they could.
- Comment on The European Commission says it is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for potential child safety Digital Services Act (DSA) violations “as a matter of priority” 1 week ago:
You don’t understand. The tracking and spying is the entire point of the maneuver. The ‘children are accessing porn’ thing is just a Trojan horse to justify the spying.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Damn. They’re really ripping the copper wiring out of the walls.

So since we can’t count on all parents to properly parent their child, we’ll just infantilize the entire population and treat every single person as a child by default.
Yeah. Again, I’m familiar with this ‘think of the children!’ line of support for fascism.

‘Skip the effective methods. What’s left?!’
Just astoundingly stupid.
- Comment on The European Commission says it is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for potential child safety Digital Services Act (DSA) violations “as a matter of priority” 1 week ago:
Because it’s a Trojan horse. They’re using porn as justification for increased monitoring for everyone who uses the web, and controlling what they’re allowed to see.
- Comment on The European Commission says it is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for potential child safety Digital Services Act (DSA) violations “as a matter of priority” 1 week ago:
Literally no one but you is arguing about minors accessing porn.
- Comment on The European Commission says it is investigating Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos for potential child safety Digital Services Act (DSA) violations “as a matter of priority” 1 week ago:
Yes, I am familiar with the ‘think of the children!’ Trojan horse tactic.

The fascist censorship regime is just ramping up their efforts in Europe. The Nazis took over again.
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 1 week ago:
I’m not a fan of intellectual property law. I’m down to abandon it, once we establish an artist stipend to pay a regular salary for artists to live a life of dignity.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
I’m not saying there aren’t great teachers, but I have family in education and know a lot of teachers, and I would not describe most of them as adaptable.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
I think doing nothing, while this emerging tech obliterates the functioning of existing methods, is much more dangerous.
- Comment on YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies 2 weeks ago:
I’m shocked this is going through. I gotta imagine at least Tennessee will block it. They’re super pro-big isp.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 weeks ago:
We’ve been needing to rework education for years now anyway. At least this will force the teachers to change & adapt, whether they like it or not.

You’re pulling this out of your ass. That is completely made up.
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 3 weeks ago:
Yes, we should outlaw weaponization of AI. I would support that.
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 3 weeks ago:
Yes, those tools are called ‘weapons.’
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s my point.

Why?
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I get it. I just prefer the polish.

Emby’s better than both, but jellyfin folks are probably going to crucify me for saying that.
