  I just want to point out a lot of you actively support this if it helps curb “hate speech” or fascists or nazis or whatever. But what can be used against the guilty may be used against the innocent so it is best that we do not allow it at all. Either all speech is free or none of it is, there’s no other way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big tech has spent $155 billion on AI this year. It’s about to spend hundreds of billions more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate these fucking articles. That’s how it works with every new tech/industry etc. Everyone spends billions and billions hoping it becomes profitable 10-20 years from now, maybe it does maybe it doesn’t, we can’t know but that’s how this shit has always and will always work for basically every new tech or research that happens.

  Maybe complain about countries not taxing corporations enough, but not how new industries and technologies are funded.

  Ooooh we got a badass over here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The left in general is experiencing an absurd Luddite phase that started exactly around the last election when all the techbros revelation themselves as supporting Trump.

  Now everything test that is conducted needs to be meticulously planned and calibrated as to not even lift a speck of dust or else it’s causing irreparable damage to the environment, taking everyone’s jobs, and destroying everything.

  It’s ridiculous. I don’t like to say that TDS is real but sometimes it really looks real.

  What the fuck type mentality is this? Jesus fuck, might as well just take all media away from people and not let them take any decisions ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Makes sense to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Post structuralists in shambles

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Start by not calling them females, that’s some Andrew Tate type energy right there which fyi doesn’t get you laid at all unless you are rich, and the rich part is the one doing all the lifting there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is performative, it has a clause that allows exceptions to be made. The federal government contracts are not worth enough for OpenAI et all to shoot themselves in the foot by limiting the data they use to train their main models and a custom model trained with these very nebulous principles would probably be very much useless in most general applications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tailscale friendly app dashboard⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not use the tailnet address? There’s an option that gives you random words instead of an iPhone address and it works very well, at least for me. i I mean you still need to know the port but it’s less to remember. As for dashboard I use Homarr.

  Since when are programmers the same thing as computer scientists?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very little chance of this being good, BioWare fucking blows. They should give this franchise to a new developer that’s competent and less focused on writing HR compliant dialogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you might think that but you underestimate how willing people are to give up their privacy and freedom just to feel safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not if they are willingly bringing this inside their homes. I think it’s very different from substances that you might not be aware are there and are highly toxic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, people are not being forced to buy this shit. So it’s on the idiots who think they have nothing to hide. Just Google something like “why are people ok with cameras inside their house “ and you’ll see many many people basically saying “don’t care, I have nothing to hide, everyone has a pussy/dick”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I only played the first one, but I do know that Black Flag is the most loved one. However when I say what I say it is not just about assassins creed, the observation which at that point was rather obvious for me was that ever Ubisoft franchise was more or less following the same template and it has only gotten worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how it has taken people so long to realize something I realized around AssCreed3, that all Ubisoft does is release the same game with a different skin over and over again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's Robotaxi Companies Are Racing Ahead of Tesla⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s Waymo (which by the way is owned by Alphabet aka Google) and Uber is now entering the market by partnering with Lucid. All that to say is that Teslas valuation is still nonsense even if they do manage to rollout 10 gazillion robotaxis in the next 6 months because they are not the only players in the market. Or in any market that they are in for that matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just a windows PC in handheld format that has a new Xbox app that turns off a bunch of windows functions that use up perform despite having no benefit for gaming. But it is a windows pc, you can hook it up with a dock, and use it as your daily PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My comment was in favor of this because of that and gaming laptops are generally more expensive than this despite being less convenient for the primary purpose. A lot of people forget these things are actually quite capable desktop PCs when paired with a dock + monitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How much does a gaming laptop cost again? Because this is that essentially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whatever we gained by losing these, it was not worth it.

  Existence is entropy. Everything you love will be dust one day. That is natural and good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People Believe If 90% Prefer A over B, A Must Be Much Better than B. Are They Wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know people are morons and I’m a contrarian so I will almost always assume the least popular thing is better, but less convenient somehow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The founders sold it, it’s not like they were put a gun to their heads to sell.

  I mean. Why exactly does this website need so many employees? You could probably run the website with less than a 100

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Switch 2 seems doomed to fail. “Fastest selling console yet” isn’t much to say when your loyal base is huge. But as in most things the Pareto principle applies to sales, and most sales of any product comes from casual buyers. I don’t see casual buyers putting up with this. Parents might just buy mobile games for their kids, and teenagers and adults might as well just buy a PC handheld.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Update 1.2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the difficulty setting problem almost entirely disappears once you get to like level 10 or so and then at some point, like around level 25, mobs can fuck you up if you’re not paying attention in the adept setting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(LLM) A language model built for the public good⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So what you’re saying is that it’s good for research, because you can’t research what you don’t know about.

  It’s good for giving starting points which is exactly what I meant.

  Next time I’ll write a dissertation with hyper specifics because it seems it’s necessary every time LLMs are involved as there’s always someone looking to nitpick the statements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(LLM) A language model built for the public good⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly they are pretty good for research too. You can’t imagine the amount of obscure shit that my ChatGPT has surfaced when I bounce ideas on it. But yea it’s terrible in finished products, I think everyone knows that and in a year or two if they don’t improve I expect we will be back to shoving it behind the scenes as had been done before ChatGPT. It’s for the best.
