What’s wrong with hurting artificial societies?

Your gaslighting is bad and you should feel bad.
- Comment on After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes 5 days ago:
This is a pretty big tell that it has nothing to do with AI, it’s just price gouging for price gouging sake’s. Data center setups don’t use consumer level PSUs and CPUs. If anything, their price should be going down given that the rise in RAM, SSDs, and GPUs are leading to people building less PCs and waiting longer to do so. The supply for these components should be going up due to excess supply.

“USA stuff” is affecting the whole world right now. You are coming to check out an English based social network for non-“USA stuff”. What did you expect?

Do you actually know what happened at Tiananmen Square?
- Comment on Tankie 6 days ago:
You seem to think I’m trying to justify the Tiananmen Square when I’m just putting one particular incident in perspective to how ICE usually acts. Your gross oversimplifcations seem to want to act like whataboutism to how much worse the Tiananmen Square by portraying it into a caricature of “a massive student protest into a slurry that they pushed into the sewers”. It got pretty bad, a lot worse than any particular ICE incident up to date, but in a lot of ways it was served to the people just like ICE is being served up. People in the US should really inform themselves better with nuance, because the nuance is that it’s far closer to how ICE is acting: en.wikipedia.org/…/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests…
This is only a year into Trump’s second term and it’s already this bad. Just look at how long it took Hitler.

AI generated slop, ICE would not have stopped, ICE would have ran her over and told you to ignore your lying eyes.

Some instances in other platforms don’t synchronize user comments in the same way. Their comments are still removed within the threads, but you can still go to the user page and check them out which makes more sense IMO.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds: "The AI Slop Issue Is *NOT* Going To Be Solved With Documentation" 1 week ago:
You know what isn’t good content? Suggesting something based purely on presumptions. He was banned from lemmy.world and in true lemmy.world fashion they deleted his entire comment and post history, so you can’t even normally look it up in the modlog.
What he said was:
man slop
Yes Please
touch man slop
alias lick=“rm”
lick man slop
Ironically, he was banned from Fuck AI for posting AI slop too.
The reason the user was banned from lemmy.world was apparently ban evasion from users who self-identified as attention whores. The original account seems to have been banned for multiple unflagged NSFW posts, and other inappropriate posts, including their last one where they seem to have admitted to having a vendetta against lemmy.world and that they were basically going to shitpost AI all over it.
Nothing wrong with the comments that were removed in this thread, but damn the irony of making those comments and who was making them.

Cool fact, makes sense and it is absolutely trivial but interesting. Thanks!
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t matter as long a the supply continues to grow. It also helps make the rest of the world less dependent on a US hegemony that’s now going sour. When investment firms are buying up so much inventory for data centers that aren’t even operational, a big part of that exists as an excuse for market manipulation by the really big hitters that have their presence in those cartels anyway. Once they start feeding their own demise and market competition, they will back off pretty quickly and will likely saturate the market from the surplus inventory they are clearly hoarding under bullshit excuses to try to eliminate and buy up the nascent competition.

Here’s to hoping that it increases pressure to break the cartels and start getting the ball rolling on more independent foundries.

Oh yeah, that backlash has totally stopped them from getting away with it, you are totally right.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
Ask RAM prices.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
The game was not developed with generative AI. AI was used in promo and textures for a very limited time and then was substituted. If this is the war engine you are running, I want way off of it, my beef with modern AI is way different.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
So they lost because the promo material that seldom makes it into the game included AI this time around, for a very short while? Do you think that makes the people so judgemental look better?
- Comment on We’re All So F’d | NVIDIA x Palantir, Global Surveillance, "Pre-Crime" Arrests, & AI [GNCA - GamersNexus Consumer] 3 weeks ago:
They are still selling to you. 5090s “oh, they are back to MSRP again, buy buy buy!”, consoles that use them like the Nintendo Switch 2, etc. They are still selling to consumer markets, they just don’t want to sell to the markets that call them out on the monopolistic bullshit.
Now you have another reason not to buy NVIDIA: with the US being the corrupt hellhole that is now turning into an authoritarian regime and with them being willing to work with Palantir, it’s only a matter of time between the NVIDIA App software they force you to install becomes a surveillance tool. Because your private data is also much more profitable to them than you are.

They should have boycotted them during the RTX 50xx if they cared about boycotting. As it is, people who have continued to buy into them have helped finance their own irrelevance.

Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 3 weeks ago:
Oh no, they used gen AI filler art which they immediately replaced with human one. They did it the one way they could do it right, let’s demonize them into submission while the flagrant violators get away with murder because why bother?
- Comment on Reddit global rank is going down 1 month ago:
This was the latest from Huffman: npr.org/…/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-its-time-we-gr…
Basically, rather than focus on quality, they just shifted to the same subjective engagement bait that also happens to be easy to manipulate on the backend and almost impossible to prove that’s plaguing all major social networks. It’s easy to see too, they let major subs go to hell by letting special interests and the power hungry just go nuts, and they now only show up if you really search for them. Do things like adding a sub like r/conservative, and the whole world view it feeds you is completely different and tailored by troll factories, bots, and the like. They are crowd sourcing propaganda bubbles just so they can feed off of the scraps.
- Comment on The Turing test has been inverted. 1 month ago:
Because I’m so frigging hot, I’m so frigging thirsty, I’m so hungry, that I think I’m hallucinating the turtle. I’ve been trudging through a desert way and now a turtle pops up in the desert out of nowhere. Is the turtle even real, can I not distinguish reality anymore … would eating it help quench my thirst and anger? Is it wrong to feel no emotion?
I don’t think the test itself is designed to measure emotional response so much as the emotional nuance and the 35 ms latency delay glitch in the Nexus-5 models when dealing with it.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 1 month ago:
In my nearby library, you can even take music and movies out. Old as shit music and movies on CDs and DVDs, but music and movies nevertheless.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I don’t know of anyone who isn’t in some way contributing some way or form to some rather dystopian practices, intentionally or not. This is not a justification, just an observation. Just by being part of many societies and filing your taxes, people can be “working for evil”. The real crux of the matter is what you consider acceptable evil.
- Comment on In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks 1 month ago:
How popular is it against other distros? First I’ve heard of it (which admittedly doesn’t say much since I’m used to the older ones), which makes me wonder how close to a million people did. Did influencers spread the word or something?
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 1 month ago:
If this bubble doesn’t pop soon, I expect a memory card thefts to start making the headlines. Small and easier to carry off while being more expensive than some jewelry of the same size.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 1 month ago:
Might as well just build your own mini-ITX PC and install SteamOS if it gets to that point
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 1 month ago:
With SSD, memory prices, and GPU prices still going up, releasing console-beating Steam Machines still seems way over the horizon to plan for. Once the AI bubble “pops”, maybe … but with so much going on in the world in terms of geopolitics also threatening to affect markets, I wouldn’t dare to look into the future.
- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 1 month ago:
Unless you are going for console exclusives, a PC is upgradable and can be just about as plug and play, specially now with SteamOS. The SteamDeck has really helped normalized control schemes into their gamepad.
