- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 1 week ago:
if they take the water and doesn't return to the source: there will be less available water in the water body, and it can lead to scarcity. If they take it and return, but at a higher temperature, or along with pollutants, it can impact the life in the water body. If they treat the water before returning, to be closest to the original properties, there will be little impact, but it means using more energy and resources for the treatment
- Comment on If a country needs to employ state-sponsored patriotism, it's usually because there's nothing to be proud of about the country. 1 week ago:
OR because the elites don't like the things that make people proud of, and want to force their version of patriotism into everyone
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 2 weeks ago:
You're not a dinosaur. Making people feel old and out of the trend is exactly one of the strategies used by big techs to shove their stuff into people.
- Comment on Anthropic’s auto-clicking AI Chrome extension raises browser-hijacking concerns 3 weeks ago:
only respond to painful cookie request menus to reject cookies
You can do that just with ublock with the annoyance list, or using an extension like i don't care about cookies. Simple and efficient, no need for an "ai agent" for that

I mean low value as in a low number. Sorry for the confusion.
- Comment on The Debian project is proud to release Debian 13 "Trixie", a major update that brings new features, updated components, and numerous other improvements 1 month ago:
I find it a surprisingly low value. I can store all the current debian packages in my storage media at home, that's crazy! FOSS really tends to be lean and efficient.
- Comment on The UK Grid is currently 80% renewable energy (and 10% nuclear) 1 month ago:
Is that for real, or are there some tricks, like buying energy from somewhere and not aggregating in the data?
- Comment on Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows 1 month ago:
That's interesting. I feel like a lone voice in my university, trying to explain to people that using LLMs to do research tasks isn't a good idea for several reasons, but I'd never imagine that being disabled would put me into a group more likely to think like that. If I had to guess, I'd suggest that there's possibly a strong network effect being abused in our social environment to make people get into the AI hype, and we, the ones who live less connected to the "standard" social norms, tend to become less vulnerable to it.
- Comment on New study sheds light on ChatGPT’s alarming interactions with teens 1 month ago:
Yes, it is. People are personifying llms and having emotional relationships with them, what leads to unpreceded forms of abuse. Searching for shit on google or youtube is a thing, but being told by some entity you have emotional links to do something is much worse.

What kind of tasks do you consider that don't need to be exactly right?
- Comment on Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice. 2 months ago:
I don't have high hopes for our future to want to have been born much later... climate change, economic crisis and who knows what else are already at the door.
