- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 6 hours 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 12 hours 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 5 days 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 weeks 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.

It really should be called “buy now, pay more later”. When are these greedy fucks going to learn that it’s not good when consumers don’t have money to spend? If all their money goes towards interest payments then we see a collapse in demand.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 2 weeks ago:
I needed to make a small change and realized I wasn’t confident I could do it.
Wouldn’t the point be to use AI to make the change, if you’re trying to do it 100% with AI? Who is really saying 100% AI adoption is a good idea though? All I hear about from everyone is how it’s not a good idea, just like this post.

Yea, that’s a really nice way to put it.
- Comment on People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage 3 weeks ago:
1 gaming pc uses many many times the energy of a prompt
That’s a pretty stupid comparison. I think some of your arguments make sense, but on data centers, it’s absolutely a bubble. Read about this: apnews.com/…/big-tech-data-centers-electricity-en…
They’re putting the cart before the horse. You can’t have data centers without electricity. You think any of these data center companies are investing in producing more electricity? No, because it’s a bubble.

- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 3 weeks ago:
Yea the data center stuff is an absolute bubble, and models are becoming significantly cheaper rapidly. We won’t need all these data centers because reasonably usable AI models will be so efficient you can run them on a powerful gaming computer. Not everyone needs the absolute most powerful smartest model like Gemini 3.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 3 weeks ago:
True, if you ask about the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and other things typically censored by the Chinese government they won’t answer. But interestingly, there are variants that have been uncensored, and those models will answer openly if you use something like together.ai versus kimi.com. Because they are open source, they are easily uncensored.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 3 weeks ago:
We aren’t going to stop AI usage, but we can do it educate people on how to use the most efficient models. Both DeepSeek v3.20-Exp and Kimi K2 Thinking are significantly more efficient than Claude/Gemini/ChatGPT.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 3 weeks ago:
Rapid enshittification, people will just use on of the others on the long list of alternatives. I currently recommend either DeepSeek v3.2-Exp or Kimi K2 Thinking.

What’s your knowledge regarding LLMs, if any at all?
- Comment on OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates 4 weeks ago:
Yes, as far as scalability, cheaper more efficient models can be used in applications which require thousands of uses a day.

This is peak bubble type news. AI is becoming rapidly more energy efficient. These events will be looked back on like pets.com reaching hundreds of millions and then dying.

We need a New New Deal to get anywhere near that. First we’re going to experience mass unemployment for about a year. Then after people have been severely pissed off with no opportunities for a couple months, then things will actually start changing.

You know absolutely nothing about blockchain technology or LLMs if you actually believe that.
