Oh, sick. I guess this is just PS5 cause it’s a Sony vid. Thanks!

Cotton doesn’t wick anything, it absorbs it. And if you’re sweating enough that it’s a problem, remove layers until it isn’t. That’s the point of them.
- Comment on Bending Spoons laid off almost everybody at Vimeo yesterday | Hacker News 1 day ago:
Ah shit, I hadn’t thought of that. Hopefully this gives them a kick to upgrade their system or get something of their own.

I doubt Vimeo was putting up numbers that actually competed, either, but it was there as an alternative.

Terraria’s also getting it’s next major update in a week, so it’s a great time to get into it.

Whelp, hopefully federated video sharing gets the momentum it needs to compete with YT. Seems like it’s the only alternative that’ll be left.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 day ago:
Even one or two seems like it’d be catastrophic. And if nothing’s changed until they enter the workforce and start fucking shit up, I’d say that’s something like 10 years of teens becoming dependent on it and losing out on critical education and development (presuming worst case - no market crash). That’s a lot of damage.

And students who are using it in school aren’t learning, because ChatGPT is doing all their work - badly - for them.
This is the one that really concerns me. It feels like generations of students are just going to learn to push the slop button for any and everything they have to do. Even if these bots were everything techbros claimed they are, this would still be devastating for society.
- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 3 days ago:
This is something I don’t see talked about enough. The real reason CEOs and corpos are so blindly committed to making this happen is because they think the end result will be a fully automated workforce that will be far cheaper and 100% under their control.
- Comment on Unfortunately, at this point, ICE has "Erik Princed" a US city; over a traffic violation. And the Administration is lying, gaslighting, and giving it cover. 1 week ago:
Not pertinent.

Yet.
Not ever, really.
:::spoiler Movie premise spoiler(?) The movie’s real focus is ethics in wartime journalism. They could’ve been documenting any war and the plot would remain largely the same, including radical local groups taking advantage of the chaos to inflict harm and death. The closest it comes to being vaguely relevant is the suggestion that such a conflict could happen at all in the US. No part of the movie really focuses on the why or how of the conflict - just typical war-torn country stuff. :::

It’s fine. Not nearly as pertinent as OP is making it seem, though.

- Comment on Dæmon core? What did I say about murdering people? 1 week ago:
Worse, the fool knew the risks and had a much safer alternative, but did it that way anyhow just to flex. Extra dumb since his longtime colleague had died just 6 months earlier from the very same core.

- Comment on 'No one verified the evidence': Woman says AI-generated deepfake text sent her to jail 1 week ago:
Also how would AI have sent a SMS to his phone from her?
It’s almost like that’s my point.
- Comment on 'No one verified the evidence': Woman says AI-generated deepfake text sent her to jail 1 week ago:
she said her boyfriend created an AI-generated text that called him names and made disparaging comments.
Texts would show up on phone records.
- Comment on This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again 1 week ago:
“That culture needed to be built. That was the key.”
“Like, I’m not gonna be able to replace these losers if they don’t fix this piece of shit tech for me, will I?”
- Comment on 'No one verified the evidence': Woman says AI-generated deepfake text sent her to jail 1 week ago:
After eight months of legal wrangling by her attorney, prosecutors dropped the bond violation charge against her.
How was this not handled within 24 hours by checking the fucking phone records??
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 week ago:
That’s a quirk of the medium I’ve learned to accept. Some games do it well by having chunks of “on-rails” bits and others of “free-roam” based on what’s happening in the story so that it makes more sense.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 week ago:
Biggest pet peeve of modern games is when the game repeatedly nags the player to go to the next mission or solve a puzzle. I like to explore games, to take the time to appreciate well made environments and lore, but when npcs or even the pc keep chiming in every minute with “[x] is waiting for me at the lab” or “I think I should [y]”, it starts to piss me off. Games are more than just sprinting from one objective to another. Can’t even take the time to fully look over a puzzle before the game starts telling you what to do next.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 week ago:
Games that offer stealth as an option over combat, but have mandatory combat bosses.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a great game, but this was a serious issue. The game has a (notoriously buggy) achievement for finishing the game without killing anyone, but every boss requires a loadout of lethal weapons to take down, leaving a minimum of slots for non-lethal alternatives. Very annoying.
- Comment on Gen Z’s Tony Hawk is Tony Hawk 1 week ago:
and I’m the one clutching pearls?
Yup, still are, ignoring the point of the comment in favor of the fomenting over the “ludicrous” context of their anecdote. “It’s just a joke” is also a poor, worn out excuse to discredit criticism.
- Comment on ChatGPT Health lets you connect medical records to an AI that makes things up 1 week ago:
What’s really concerning is who knows how many doctors will be using it.
- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 2 weeks ago:
Blocking a user only stops you from seeing them, not the other way around. They can still interact with your posts.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 2 weeks ago:
How does anything in your phone “spoof” triangulation by cell towers? Just tell them “This phone’s not actually connected to you”?
- Comment on Gen Z’s Tony Hawk is Tony Hawk 2 weeks ago:
Accuses every generation after theirs of being useless
Gets pissy and defensive when their bad logic is pointed out
No one called you racist, bud, but clutch those pearls.
