Initial setup is the only real time investment. Once you have the final edited video exported, uploading it to multiple platforms doesn’t take much more time. It does take away ad impressions from YouTube, though.

Because they do actually do it for the money. It’s a job, and if they put the same content on a non monetized platform, they would drive they’re own viewers away from their own monetized platform = less money.

Yes we absolutely do. Articulate the value of having right wing state propaganda as part of your “news” intake. Don’t just say this is an echo chamber, articulate why including right wing media is good for you.
- Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth? 3 days ago:
You know how Google gives you AI summary at the top now? It’s great, isn’t it?
No longer do you have to sift through multiple results to and give your device ad cancer just to get a simple answer to a question. Google just gives you the answer directly! It’s so great and helpful.
Except when it’s not, but it never says “I don’t know, check the results manually”, it just makes shit up. The other day I googled “geely pixel 9 wireless connection” because I couldn’t connect my pixel 9 to a geely car wirelessly. Google (the maker of the pixel 9) confidently described how the “Geely Pixel 9 is a device made by Geely…” and went on to give useless instructions.
This was a inconsequential query. What happens when you look up a serious topic and the sites that maintained that knowledge online no longer find it financially feasible? What happens when you rely on the trained model and that’s the only option? What happens when it hallucinates convincingly? Are you sure it hasn’t fooled you yet?
Social media created bubbles of ignorance and fake news, AI replacing search intends to eliminate the non-bubbles the rest of us seek and count on. What are you gonna do, drive to the library and read books every time you need to learn something new?
- Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says 4 days ago:
Because they keep buying shit they don’t need and hording it in the garage, while their car sits outside in the driveway exposed to the elements.
Hyperinflation and incoming recession aside, Americans have been using their garages for junk storage for many decades.

- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 week ago:
PayPal/Visa/MasterCard do way more than just payment processing for one company.
Valve wouldn’t need 25,000 employees just to process payments for their own platform.

It really is. If you don’t mind potential instability, upgrade to the latest alpha build. I haven’t had a single crash in months, and cosmic desktop is already way better than Gnome, and Cosmic Store (pop shop replacement) is very fast.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 1 week ago:
They were trying to be funny, don’t be too literal.
I think (that’s how I interrupted it, I don’t know) the intent was to reflect the insufferably arrogant tone of most people who exclusively complain about AI as if it has no benefits and will be the sole destroyer of our society.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 1 week ago:
Yes, I’m a piece of shit for using a phone made by a capitalist corporation and contributes to harming the planet. I don’t deny that I live in a horrible society that forces me to be a bad human just to survive.
I also don’t call people stupid for telling me my device is bad for the environment. I still eat meat, I’m not a vegan, but I understand and completely agree that it’s terrible for the environment. By recognizing it, I can be conscious of my consumption and reduce it.
I also use LLMs conservatively, I use them where they add value and I don’t use them frivolously to generate shitty AI slop.
I’m conscious of its dangers and that drives my consumption of it.
But I don’t pick and choose. I don’t eat animal products three meals a day and bitch about someone using an LLM to edit a file instead of manually working on it for five hours.
Just be consistent is the message they were communicating, not that you shouldn’t complain about 85%.
- Comment on OpenAI will not disclose GPT-5’s energy use. It could be higher than past models 1 week ago:
It’s not, you’re just personally insulted. The livestock industry is responsible for about 15% of human caused greenhouse gas emissions. That’s not negligible.

Without social media, we wouldn’t have real on the ground reporting, and we wouldn’t have the most documented “live streamed” genocide.
This is what you missed by being in your old man bubble: tiktokgenocide.com
Not that you care, you called me a bigot for saying America funds genocides.
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 2 weeks ago:
Fair, it got your attention, which I think is worth it.
But as they mentioned, Reddit is doing fine, and making more revenue than ever. The premise of the clippy protest is to scare the CEOs into submission, exactly like the reddit blackouts, but that wasn’t the result of the blackouts and that won’t be the result of YouTube users changing their avatar to clippy.
The only thing that will scare them is users actually migrating away, which again didn’t happen enough with the reddit exodus, it didn’t get a massive blow like digg did. Users are too complacent now.
I’ll still change mine in case it gets one user’s attention enough to start them down the Louis rabbit hole and make them understand the problem of corporations owning all your data, with the hope they will self motivate to leave these platforms entirely, but it ain’t gonna get any CEOs attention when they wake up and see everyone on slack has clippy, they’ll laugh it off.
- Comment on Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way. 2 weeks ago:
It’s a bribe in disguise. It’s a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump…
Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 weeks ago:
Right, that’s what they said. For a closed loop, because it’s less “effective”, you need a much larger system. It’s more expensive to build and requires a much larger footprint and corporations like Amazon would rather save a penny than do anything to reduce their harm.

Americans not giving a shit about the people they pay taxes to starve and slaughter will come back to bite them. The chicken is coming home to roost, and it’s bringing back all the “battle tested” civilian oppression technologies. IDF already trains your police, you haven’t even begun to see what a police state looks like.
Have you seen Flock cameras in your state yet? Has your sheriff put out an official statement to assure you it’s for your safety? Have the rich neighborhood around you started installing them at their entrance willingly?
This company is deploying a network of AI cameras that cover every intersection to record and tracks your every move in a database they expose to the police, for your safety of course.
- Comment on AI chatbots are becoming popular alternatives to therapy. But they may worsen mental health crises, experts warn 3 weeks ago:
Thank you. There’s the cost, I can’t find a therapist for $40 a session, but even that would be prohibitively expensive. But people never talk about how Therapy in capitalist society is just a cash cow business, and the easiest most profitable methods are widespread. Most therapists, or presumably the experts being quoted on the dangers of talking to a language model, are ineffective for most people.
- Comment on Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without notice 3 weeks ago:
We moved out entire stack to the cloud, knowing full well we’re gonna bring it back in the future. We hosted our apps on traditional servers and server maintenance was a nightmare, we didn’t have the capacity and our application uptime is critical to our operations, so we strategically moved everything to the cloud so we can not worry about the maintenance for a bit while we took the time to rebuild our infrastructure properly with load balancing and high availability, and refactored our applications, we’re now slowly moving things back.

- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 4 weeks ago:
Name your court cases where the women’s testimony was solid and was admitted as evidence and the perpetrator got away because we don’t believe women, those real cases.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 4 weeks ago:
If I knew you personally and I was in a desperate situation and thought I could extract life changing amounts from you, yes, I might be willing to say that in court, under threat of perjury.
You’re implying this doesn’t happen, which is clearly false. False accusations of rape have been made in court. At least OP is asking people to believe women without evidence, but you’re asking us to believe no one ever files frivolous lawsuits, contrary to much available evidence.
In fact, in a legal system like the US that often favors persecution over defense, once an accusation is made to a cop, it can take on momentum toward court.
Blindly believing accusers because they are women isn’t egalitarian, it’s sexist.

They said you don’t need victim testimony because the rapist is bragging about it, and your interpretation is that said don’t believe women.
You’re the sexest one, even if you don’t realize it.

- Comment on Tesla Reports Drop in Self-Driving Safety After Introducing “End-to-End Neural Networks” 4 weeks ago:
People in this thread don’t understand what machine learning is, and they think Tesla’s FSD is chat gpt.
I’m an early Tesla enthusiast and I’ve purchased FSD when it was cheap, I still don’t have what I purchased, they no longer claim the things they used to claim it will do on the website, Elon is a Nazi con man who took a great product and hired brilliant engineers to build amazing tech only to taint it by manipulating an election to install a dictator and Seig Heiled in celebration.
But Elon is just the rich asshole that runs the company, the brilliant engineers made amazing software that is still amazing despite not fulfilling Elon’s fraudulent sales pitches.
This is not an endorsement of Tesla, I hope it crashes and burns as long as he benefits from it, I wish we can nationalize it and all its very valuable assets. But my “supervised” FSD handles all my driving and I haven’t had a single disengagement in many months. It takes me from my driveway to any address with ease, and my passengers don’t even realize I’m not driving.
Sticking your head in the sand and pretending it’s not a real product because the CEO turned out to be a Nazi isn’t intellectually honest or useful. Normalize the idea of nationalizing Tesla, it was heavily funded by our tax dollars after all.
FSD is improving at an incredible pace, and it would be very beneficial to society to nationalize and open source it, otherwise Elon the Nazi capitalist gets to benefit from it alone. China has incredible capacity to collect the training data in a short time that Tesla spent a decade collecting, and I have no doubt they’ll have an FSD comparable product soon, I do doubt they’ll open source it.
inb4 someone calls me a Republican or a Russian because I said FSD is real. Find someone who has it and ask them for a demo, and judge for yourself.
