- Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us? 1 week ago:
My Flfriends set up a CMS by invite only (people we know IRL). Hundreds of us there and yet only a handful are active.
People want to be where the action is (more so than where the quality is). FOMO.
- Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us? 1 week ago:
I find in real life they are just as polarized but not as rude about it. Both left and right friends of mine.
However almost all of them get the hint to respectfully change the topic when there is an impasse. Online the badgering continues unabated.

- Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors 2 weeks ago:
How is the genre different from the main floor 20 years ago? This description I found makes it sound the same…
Big room dancing refers to a style of electronic dance music (EDM) that is characterized by its high-energy, anthemic melodies, and powerful drops. It is often associated with the mainstage sound of large EDM festivals and is known for its use of powerful basslines, heavy synths, and a four-on-the-floor beat.
Big room tracks are typically designed to fill large venues and create a vibrant atmosphere for dancing.
The genre has evolved over the years, with some artists exploring a harder, more techno-driven sound.
Key elements of big room music include a strong bassline, simple melodies, dynamic build-ups and drops, and a minimalist production approach.
Some of the most influential big room artists include Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and KSHMR.

Nice idea but why waste your battery? Probably works just as well pretending to record them.

Why is PC even factored in? Shouldn’t the LLM just favour evidence?

Doesn’t it mean whatever they Internet thinks it means? Isn’t that the problem with LLM? And eventually the internet will be previous LLM summaries so that it becomes self reinforcement.
- Comment on Australian doctors call for clampdown on social media influencers allegedly glamorising poker machines 2 weeks ago:
We already do have such laws. There is a statement after each audio/video but if the ad appears on your phone you will probably skip past the warning and only hear the first few seconds which subconsciously still influences some people into gambling.
- Comment on AI Utopia, AI Apocalypse, and AI Reality: If we can’t build an equitable, sustainable society on our own, it’s pointless to hope that a machine that can’t think straight will do it for us. 2 weeks ago:
None of those things directly threatened the power of an oligarch.

I had to look it up but it seems to me you are simply referring to background music.

- Comment on Next-Gen Brain Implants Offer New Hope for Depression: AI and real-time neural feedback could transform treatments 3 weeks ago:
Lobotomy is a bit extreme. Try Trepanning first.
Trepanning was sometimes performed on people who were behaving in a manner that was considered abnormal. In some ancient societies it was believed this released the evil spirits that were to blame

- Comment on China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long. 3 weeks ago:
In Australia it was proposed by the Labor government and it was the Greens who passed the Digital ID bill. (Labor needed either the Greens or Conservatives on board).
It was the conservatives who opposed it (similar to when Conservatives opposed the Australia Card in the 80’s).
Go figure.
- Comment on Against AI: An Open Letter From Writers to Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, and all other publishers of America 3 weeks ago:
Unless readers want street cred reading only books from publishers who observe the request. There will be a market for “authentic” publishers along with the more liberal slop-friendly ones.

- Comment on Teamviewer Terminates Perpetual Licenses 4 weeks ago:
I have been flagged three times by teamviewer. Appealing requires writing an email and waiting weeks. This last time my use was consistent and only ever connected to my home computer due about 10 minutes tops.
They just don’t want free users who don’t upgrade to a monthly subscription but will never say that.

Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it
You haven’t researched as well as you think you have. Even freshly squeezed juice is unhealthy. You need the pulp too in order to slow the sugar metabolism, in which case you may as well just eat fruit.
Check Robert Lustig re sugars.
