- Comment on Who is the enemy? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had the privilege of working with users with actual computer training. Old ladies who started working on terminals in the 70s and 80s. They were awesome, because they actually understood what they were doing. They could give me an accurate description of what they were doing when shit went wrong. They had real concerns and realistic requests for improvement. And they never blamed the computer when they encountered something they didn’t understand. They’re all dead or retired now.
Todays computer illiterate workforce is doomed to be incompetent because they don’t understand how their main tool works. Nobody bothered to train them.
- Comment on Argentina wants to monitor social media with AI to ‘predict future crimes’ 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there’s some kind of leaded gasoline-like issue affecting people today (microplastics or some shit). Something has gone horribly wrong with peoples brains.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Religion is the closest thing to true evil that exist on this planet. Insane cultists shouldn’t be allowed around children. Not even their own (they tend to mutilate them in order to mark them as members of their insane cult).
- Comment on Have you encountered this? 1 month ago:
No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.
I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.
- Comment on It shocked the market but has China's DeepSeek changed AI? 1 month ago:
No. It’s still just a very convincing auto-complete. People who claim it’s even AI are uneducated and easily manipulated by marketing.

Same in most of the world. Sucks that these machines brought tipping to places it didn’t exist before. Used to be only shitty tourist trap restaurants asked for tips in Stockholm. Now all the machines do.
Remember kids. Never tip, ever.

The “I’m just doing my job” defence. Nice.
- Comment on ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’: the Australian push to have all adopted people told their full history and identity 1 month ago:
This magical ability to “maintain an identity” you speak of, is not a real thing that exist.
- Comment on ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’: the Australian push to have all adopted people told their full history and identity 1 month ago:
Identity. Most overrated fad thing ever. People with no personality trying to find meaning in completely irrelevant information. Oh, you’re a gay martian? That’s cool I guess, but can you juggle?!?
- Comment on Belgium Targets Internet Archive's 'Open Library' in Sweeping Site Blocking Order 1 month ago:
I don’t think anyone has ever thought Belgium was cool. Been to Brussels plenty of times and I think it might be the least cool city in all of Europe. Except for FOSDEM of course. That is pretty damn cool.
- Comment on Old Man Guide to Grooming 1 month ago:
Gf is on eyebrow duty because she enjoys plucking those extra thick long ones out. Otherwise I’d do it myself. Although there will come a time when I just let em go wild and embrace the old man look.
- Comment on Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire 1 month ago:
Each sect of the insane Yahweh-cult has a way bigger body count than the Nazis ever accomplished.
- Comment on ESO devs at ZeniMax reel from Microsoft's 'hollow' layoff emails, with some wondering how a 'carcass of workers' is 'supposed to keep shipping award-winning games' 2 months ago:
Making award winning games aren’t the most effective way to make a quick buck. Getting children addicted to gambling is.
- Comment on Meta says it won't sign Europe AI agreement, calling it an overreach that will stunt growth 2 months ago:
Everyone who works at Meta is a burden on society
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 2 months ago:
I think it varies from person to person. My gf can’t tell the difference at all, even when she really tries, neither can a friend of mine (who also use the most insane jerky screen settings on his TV). For me, I can’t imagine going back to 60hz ever again. It feels like something is physically wrong with my phone if I turn 120hz off.
- Comment on Gallium 2 months ago:
Nah. Better to just cut untrustworthy people from your life.
- Comment on Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds 2 months ago:
No shit. They understand that, apes together strong. Russia understands divide and conquer.
- Comment on Millions of tonnes of toxic sewage sludge spread on UK farmland every year 2 months ago:
Country folk used to have a clue about nature because they relied on it to survive. Now they’re just dumb rednecks with carbrain. Lately there’s a ton of country bumpkins in Sweden who wants to kill all the wolves because they occasionally harm or kill their loose pets (if your dog lives in your home, it’s a pet). They claim the wolves “aren’t good for anything in nature”. So we will likely have a massive increase of tick and mosquito borne illness soon due to deer overpopulation.
- Comment on Video Games Europe release a statement on Stop Killing Games 2 months ago:
A bunch of for profit corporations. If slavery was on the table they would be required to argue for it too.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 months ago:
I am. And so is OC. Neural networks are a different beast, although neither is actual AI. Just a marketing term at this point.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 2 months ago:
AI models (unless you’re training your own) are usually trained on data it does not have a licence to use. The companies training these models are also notorious for ignoring robot.txt and other measures websites use to stop bots from trawling their data.
Like in crypto, most people in AI are not nerds, just criminal scum.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 months ago:
You put way too much trust in AI. AI is seldom right. It is however very good at sounding like it knows what it’s talking about. It’s like a conservative podcaster.
