- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 4 weeks ago:
- There’s nothing mandatory about those apps. Facebook and Pornhub are optional and the more friction in using them won’t hurt. All I’m saying is that massive platforms that allow a massive reach need to verify that their users are who they claim to be. I don’t think it should apply to small forums like Lemmy. Making people spread into smaller communities would be an added benefit.
- There is no invasion of privacy if zero knowledge proof protocol is used to verify that user is a national and not underage because nobody needs to know any other data points. Phone and internet are not human rights.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 4 weeks ago:
One has to weight what has a higher societal cost and if one has a choice at all if we want our societies to survive. Participation in big tech social media and watching porn is not a human right.
- Comment on Macron says France to fast-track social media ban for kids under 15 4 weeks ago:
Plenty of EU countries have digital ID apps already and provide services like signing documents using that ID. Adding something like zero-knowledge proof with passkeys-like UI probably isn’t that much harder than putting people on the moon.
- Comment on Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude 5 weeks ago:
FOMO - buy into world-changing technology or be left out completely. Doesn’t have to be very well thought out when media and politicians create an atmosphere of this being inevitable.
- Comment on Anthropic releases new AI Constitution for Claude 5 weeks ago:
Claude’s nature. In this section, we express our uncertainty about whether Claude might have some kind of consciousness or moral status (either now or in the future). We discuss how we hope Claude will approach questions about its nature, identity, and place in the world.
Fucking clowns insinuating that an LLM is conscious again so that clueless investors pump some more cash to burn.

- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 5 weeks ago:
Consulting as a business is fundamentally flawed. Big4 generally send people without real world experience but equipped with lots of current buzzwords. There’s only so much you can do without being truly embedded in a company and the fact that consultants rarely bear any responsibility for their advice means they don’t care about outcomes that much.
- Comment on Building a Quake PC 5 weeks ago:
I loved this, thank you.
It was a dream of mine for some of the classics to be rebenched using era-appropriate hardware and modern methods. Going over by impactful config variables with screenshots to compare renderers was a cherry on top.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI 5 weeks ago:
I’m fairly sure PWC isn’t exactly impartial here. Consulting firms have been battered by AI. LLMs are about as good at consulting as 30-year olds in suits which is a big risk for them.
- Comment on Threads edges out X in daily mobile users, new data shows 5 weeks ago:
Hopefully EU remembers that Meta committed to ensuring interoperability of Threads when entering EU market because Meta surely doesn’t.

He blocked Polish implementation of EU DSA so now we’re going to pay fines and we will have to do it eventually anyway. Great moral win for this thug.

They’re starting with coding in February because it’s the shortest month in the year and therefore easiest to do.

What is this supposed to be about? I tapped out after 15 minutes because person being interviewed seems to mostly ramble and make some weird “insider” references.
- Comment on Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis. 1 month ago:
Ban on sharing of personal information in social media isn’t intended to stop witch hunts against innocent people, it’s intended to stop witch hunts, period. I’m certain you’d speak different if the roles were reversed and I imagine that won’t take long because most politicians treat judiciary as one of the spoils these days.
