- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 1 day ago:
I’m glad I bought an 8 TB HDD about a year ago as an investment, it’s now $50 more expensive a year later. I don’t plan on ever filling it up, but it’s been helpful, and good insurance to have if I ever create a project that requires that space.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 6 days ago:
There’s nothing stopping you from creating a room for that and inviting people.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 6 days ago:
In hindsight the accounts counter was incorrect it was adding up all the accounts from every room without considering that many of the same accounts come from different rooms. I’ll have to add a deeper tracker which I don’t think is necessary to track individual accounts, outside of the scope of the activity tracker.

Glad to hear it, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 1 week ago:
The biggest problem I’ve noticed is that the amount of “Members” is displayed in clients, but so many rooms have a lot of “Members” but no real activity. Which is what this tracker attempts to solve by looking at actual chat messages and timestamps.

Yea I have, and that’s exactly why I created this. Finding them without this tool would have been really annoying. Here’s a screenshot of the top 12h rooms:
Right now they are pretty diverse. The two most active I recommend starting off in if you’re English speaking are #envs_lounge:matrix.org and #anime:matrix.org
This is the one I made matrix.to/#/#all-topics:matrix.org before I created the activity tracker and realized there were several others.

- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 1 week ago:
All of that is speculation, none of it true. I’m an AI user, where’s my money?
- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 1 week ago:
To be clear, that doesn’t mean AI is going away. It just means no one is actually going to pay for AI models anymore because open-weight free models will be extremely cheap and powerful.

We’re in the late stages of the AI bubble.

- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 3 weeks ago:
Meanwhile we could be using this technology to solve real world business problems. There is an insane amount of misguided waste coming from AI. 🤷
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 4 weeks ago:
No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I think you give them too much credit, I think it’s just incompetence and feature creep, and Microsoft desperately trying to hold on to users while more switch to Linux. The enshittification will rapidly increase, and more will realize they don’t have to pay at all for a good operating system.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
So stupid, given how quickly computers have become more powerful and cheaper over time. Local PC hardware will never be antiquated, and is only becoming more important over time.

Depends on the model, I think Opus 4.5 is the only model that I’ve prompted which is getting close to not just being a boring sycophant.

It’s all already been used to train AI at this point.

This is the kind of weird stuff that happens near the peak of a bubble.
- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 1 month ago:
The business I work for which does refurbishment has been doing extremely well. People are buying second hand more often as well which I think is good. We’re at the point where most people don’t need the newest hardware, and can easily do everything they need with a device that was released 5 years ago.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 1 month ago:
AI doesn’t generate its own code, humans using AI generate code. If a person uses AI to generate code and doesn’t know good practices then of course the code is going to be worse.
- Comment on Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases 2 months ago:
The gaming industry for new games being released is brutal. The competition is sky high, and all you need to think about are games like Stardew Valley or Skyrim. There are so many options to choose from, a new young gamer has barely any reason to pay full price for any new games. We are entering the “Please play out game! It’s free!” phase, and still no one will spend the time. Time and attention are the most valuable thing.

That’s not how this works at all. The people training these models are fully aware of bad data. There are entire careers dedicated to preserving high quality data. GPT-4 is terrible compared to something like Gemini 3 Pro or Claude Opus 4.5.

- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 2 months ago:
I’m calling the lenders greedy. BNPL is similar to payday loans, taking advantage of people who don’t have money, making it cost more to be poor. The people who use BNPL are just being taken advantage of and suffer because of their situation.
