I am not sure the point you are trying to make. Can you rephrase please.

- Comment on The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants 6 hours ago:
That is the argument many make but it is assuming that any issues that come up AI will not be able to help which is just not true. I have a top rated, multiplayer VR app and I have not written code for it for 2 years now as AI does it all. Sure issues have come up, but AI can fix as long as you guide it correctly.
- Comment on The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants 1 day ago:
People can dismiss AI coding but some of us are using it for actual products and making money from it. I have heard for two years now that I will pay the price of vibe coding as I will not understand the code when it breaks. What? I just ask the AI what the code does to understand it and vibe code to fix it. What the heck is everyone on about? Knowing syntax is about as beneficial as knowing the machine code. Who cares in 2026 other than really mission critical apps that AI is not ready for.
- Comment on YSK you can turn off Google's personalised advertising. This prevents them from using things like your browsing history, search history, or personal data to serve you customised advertisements. 1 day ago:
The joke is on them as I am the sort of person who does not see the ads. I mean I see them of course, but they extremely rarely make me interested. Like it is very rare that I see an ad and click on it. This the case on all platforms and I am not blocking my data. I wonder what % of people are like me as I cannot be the only one? I am not even saying that there could not be more ads I would be interested in, but clearly the tech no matter how advanced they say it is, is not very sophisticated as of yet.

Americans are sadly locked into the path of violence as the other path will force them to face their systemic racism, and corporate idolization which is clearly not going to happen.
It took Nicole Good to be face shot before people really started to react despite 4 other similar events with non white females and I am constantly shocked how many Americans defend corporations that are literally exploiting them. America is cooked unfortunately as like most humans, myself included, we tend to become blind with power.
- Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever 3 days ago:
I am just hoping the Steam Frame provides the foundation so that in the years to come I can get off Windows for VR development. Feel trapped right now.

The evidence is the trend overtime in terms of organizations getting hacked (countless studies and reports on it). This is the graph to watch closely as it is the path we are on and there is a point on that curve that Centralization becomes a liability.

That is why he is fiction as real geniuses are heads down creating not manipulating which is how you become a Billionaire. The Tony Stark story is fantasy because if real geniuses rose to power, we would not have most of the issues the world is currently facing.

I think this is the future, but it will be local, open source AI that you control that will be how it takes off. sure the corporate AIs will be more convenient, but I sense that people can “feel” that corporate in their AI and this will be a trust barrier. It is the same thing with the Metaverse. You can feel Zuck’s Metaverse is corporate in a way you do not feel on a flat screen and it is objectionable to most even if they cannot put their finger on why. AI and the Metaverse are personal, more in your face and more present which tickles something in your brain that demands that those you let in, you can trust.
I am not sure what this wall should be called c but as it becomes more apparent, it will get a name. Anyone got a suggestions?

Weird. You would think that the “genius” would know that the very AI and Quantum computing his organization and other Billionaires are building out, is going to undermine anything of value that is Centralized. Really proof his genius is how to exploit others and not really the reality we are finding ourselves in. I am LOL inside as the shift back to decentralized services will be a bloodbath for Centralized anything.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 4 days ago:
That really was a thing. There was a backlash towards sampling for like a decade and nowadays, no one seems to even notice or care. Same with synthesizer based music…so many people argued that it was not music and not real and that it was going to ruin music.
- Comment on who's gonna tell him? 4 days ago:
Tony Stark made his money primarily by inheriting and then massively expanding his father’s defense technology company, Stark Industries. You do not become the biggest weapon manufacturer in the world by not being a psychopath/sociopath so while the movies held up Tony as a genius, he like Elon is a genius at exploiting others and not really a genius at inventing new tech. I wish more people saw through it.
- Comment on China's banned memory-maker CXMT unveils surprising new chipmaking capabilities despite crushing US export restrictions — DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 displayed 3 weeks ago:
Very much agreed. We have left reality where the product is the value and into the marketing is the value.

Despite some seeing my doubts as anti China, I am more feeling cautious as there has been a history of over promising and under delivering. I hope this changes as the world really does need a serious competitor as the USA is in a capitalist death spiral at the moment and it would be nice to have other options. I hope Europe too can step it up too as it will suck if we end up in a situation where China or any single nation is once again the sole provider of anything required for the modern age. Competition is healthy or we end up with too much power on one place and that never ends well even for those with the power.

I hope the can deliver on consumer hardware as we really need some competition here.
- Comment on China Has Reportedly Built Its First EUV Machine Prototype, Marking a Semiconductor Breakthrough the U.S. Has Feared All Along 4 weeks ago:
Making the end product you are right, but much of the R&D of our modern world comes out of Europe. Like IMEC. Interesting watch as I was totally unaware of this until it popped up on my YouTube feed. Sure Europe can switch to manufacturing if they desire.

Not just capitalism but more Centralization of power in any of its many forms. We have way too much Centralization.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
I am sure my code could be better. I am also sure the SDKs I use could be better and the gam engine could’ve better. For what I need, they all work good enough to get the job done. I am sure issues will come up as a result as it has many times in the past already, even before LLMs helped, but that is par for the course for a developer to tackle.

I do not understand your point you are making about my particular situation as I am not making slop. Plus one persons slop is another’s treasure. What exactly are you suggesting as the 2 issues you outlined see like they are being directed to someone else perhaps?
- I am calling it AI as that is what it is called, but you are correct, it is a pattern predictor
- I am not creating slop but something deeply immersive and enjoyed by people. In terms of the energy used, I am on solar and run local LLMs.

Hundreds for sure over the past few years. Using AI makes up about 20% of my overall time. Saved me thousands of hours. Just today it saved me days of work.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
I am for sure not a coder as it has never been my strong suite, but I am without a doubt an awesome developer or I would not have a top rated multiplayer VR app that is pushing the boundaries of what mobile VR can do.
The only person who will have to look at my code is me so any and all issues be it my code or AI code will be my burden and AI has really made that burden much less. In fact, I recently installed Coplay in my Unity Engine Editor and OMG it is amazing at assisting not just with code, but even finding little issues with scene setup, shaders, animations and more. I am really blown away with it. It has allowed me to spend even less time on the code and more time imagineering amazing experiences which is what fans of the app care about the most. They couldn’t care less if I wrote the code or AI did as long as it works and does not break immersion. Is that not what it is all about at the end of the day?
As long as AI helps you achieve your goals and your goals are grounded, including maintainability, I see no issues. Yeah, misdirected use of AI can lead to hard to maintain code down the line, but that is why you need a human developer in the loop to ensure the overall architecture and design make sense. Any code base can become hard to maintain if not thought through be is human or AI written.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 1 month ago:
I think just the people need to held accountable as while I am no fan of Meta, it is not their responsibility to hold people legally accountable to what they choose to post. What we really need is zero knowledge proof tech to identity a person is real without having to share their personal information but that breaks Meta’s and other free business model so here we are.

I really have not found AI to be useless for coding. I have found it extremely useful and it has saved me hundreds of hours. It is not without its faults or frustrations, but the it really is a tool I would not want to be without.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 1 month ago:
This has not been my experience at all. I have a top rated VR app and use AI to code everything and change things all the time. It is not hard to understand the code and then prompt the AI to change this or that and then test to see if it got it right. If it did not, just prompt again to address. Maybe this does not work for the author or others, but it has saved my hundreds of hours in my small app.
