- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 4 days ago:
Uh… you’re misunderstanding what it’s doing. It’s not learning as we use the word.
It’s figuring out what words probabilistically appear near each other. Like when you use the suggested word at the top of your mobile keyboard. You can write “sentences”, but they often go off the rails.
They just get fed some keywords and spit back out words it has observed to be near those.
And no point are LLMs capable of making any analysis or decisions. They cannot perform any thought based work. At best it can copy past shit it’s seen someone else figure out on the Internet. There are very few jobs out there that are entirely devoid of any decision making that these could actually be expected to replace (and have the company continue to function)

No, I don’t.
But clearly you can’t get me out of your head.
- Comment on Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026 1 week ago:
There’s some very aggressive autocorrect programs that seem to be bloating all their current software. They should start with taking those out.

Weirdly judgemental of people looking to meet others…
- Comment on Tinder Plans to Let AI Scan Your Camera Roll 1 week ago:
You just outed yourself as young. It’s a holdover from physical film cameras, when film came in a roll.

Republican states already made massive pushes to limit work from home
- Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to 1 week ago:
The point that is clearly not sinking into your wired-to-argue-for-no-reason brain, is that it gets rid of the shit that Google is fucking with. Which is what they were concerned about, not the underlying structure of the OS being offensive to them.

Triple reply? Someone’s triggered…

Yeah the AI is lacking the ones its scummy creators claim it has.

Good joke.
- Comment on If a US bank only insures your money up to 250k does that mean I have to visit four different back to have a million dollars insured? 2 weeks ago:
They’re not keeping a million sitting around in cash. Investment accounts have a separate insurance program
- Comment on Iranians are ‘wary’ of fresh talks with US after being tricked twice: Indonesian president 2 weeks ago:
Which is the exact reason using diplomatic meetings as traps for assassinations are a war crime. It decreases willingness to negotiate the end of hostilities.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
If the tool can’t be consistent in it’s output, it’s not a reliable or worthwhile tool to use.
There is such a thing as a bad tool.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
Yeah people making that argument were dumb. Copyright needs to be fixed, not abolished.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, now we’re in the iron age!
…Where we get to bang two ingots together
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
“it’s your fault that it just made up tools that don’t exist” is a bold statement, bro.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 2 weeks ago:
So as a one issue voter, you’d vote for the people doing the thing you don’t like more than the other group, instead of those doing it less?
And you called your cons dumb…
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 2 weeks ago:
The Republican supermajority in Ohio that passed ID checks for websites months ago thinks you’re a moron for continuing to blame only Democrats for this shit
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 3 weeks ago:
Yes.
But that wasn’t the reasoning that was given.
I don’t buy from A because I prefer B… Is not a boycott.
- Comment on Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled 3 weeks ago:
The ones listed are not working within the law. They raped children.
- Comment on Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled 3 weeks ago:
Those people should probably start parenting their own children instead of begging for the government to do it for them, then.
And yes, it’s usually the same people.
- Comment on Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled 3 weeks ago:
Sure, no reason it couldn’t be, other than it isn’t.
If they wanted to actually protect children, they’d be arresting the pedophiles, not forcing everyone to identify themselves on the Internet.

This happened before they even pushed Netflix out of the running, so apparently not.
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 3 weeks ago:
Preferring a different option is not a boycott of the one

I read that as: someone other than the author.
- Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes 3 weeks ago:
This can and should be done internally. Why would it need to be a third party? Any publisher that cares about their reputation anyway. Fact-checkers are a real thing. They routinely follow up on interviews to make sure authors aren’t bullshitting.
