  They’ll write this off as a loss and offset their corporate taxes

  Also china is a great example that you do not need all the latest hardware, but it does help

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Well maybe they shouldn’t have done of the largest violations of copyright and intellectual property ever.

  Probably the largest single instance ever.

  I thought we all had a collective and unsaid agreement not to talk about this one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Google’s TPU strategy will let them go much cheaper than other providers, but its impossible to tell how long they last and how long it takes to pay them off.

  I have not tested GPT5 thoroughly yet

  Mix it with water and finger paint on a 12’ by 12’ canvas

  Then do a big art attack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Factorio, Anno 1602, Civ 3

  Easy choices for me, but I don’t know how to order them.

  Anno 1800 gets an honourable mention for feeling like a great spiritual successor to 1602, but I have a ton of nostalgia for the first game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no frontier where I choose Gemini except when it’s the only option, or I need to be price sensitive through the API

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it’s been a long time getting from there to here, but I might have to unfurl my sails again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and this is pretty common with tools like Aider — one LLM plays the architect, another writes the code.

  Claude code now has sub agents which work the same way, but only use Claude models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I always hear people saying Gemini is the best novel and every time I try it it’s… not useful.

  Even as code autocomplete I rarely accept any suggestions. Google has a number of features in Google cloud where Gemini can auto generate things and those are also pretty terrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, been there

  It’s too bad they’re all in par amounts streaming service which I’ll never pay for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man Gives Himself 19th Century Psychiatric Illness After Consulting With ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You get totally different answers to “is X healthy” vs “is X unhealthy”

  But yeah, if ChatGPT tells you to order restricted substances on the internet, probably don’t do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Stop Killing Games’: Demands for game ownership must also include workers’ rights⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 100% for workers rights, but is stop killing games about workers rights or consumer rights?

  If you try and push every issue through every protest/movement you’re watering it down and making it easier and easier for people to dismiss it as unreasonable or unclear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Stop Killing Games’: Demands for game ownership must also include workers’ rights⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And here we go again, globbing every bleeding heart cause onto something that remotely has traction, only to inevitably smother it and snuff out any momentum the movement has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study sheds light on ChatGPT’s alarming interactions with teens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but people have been heavily misusing it since like 2018

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI’s new model can't believe that Trump is back in office⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I try not to get facts from LLMs ever

  I do use RAG and tools to push content into them for summarization/knowledge extraction.

  But even then it’s important to have an idea of your model biases. If you train a model that X isn’t true, then ask it to find info on the topic it’s going to return crap results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study sheds light on ChatGPT’s alarming interactions with teens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When we started calling literal linear regression models AI it lost all value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI’s new model can't believe that Trump is back in office⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked this what it thought of the US governments pivot on trans rights and it similarly did not believe the last 7 months could have happened.

  I had to get it to read the Wikipedia article on the year 2025 and it actually decided to stop reading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Announces Massive US Government Partnership⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And so now they have to train their models to acknowledge there are only two genders and deny anything “woke”

  We’ll see if that affects the public models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are mainstream now🔥⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the decentralization means we can always take our party somewhere else if it gets enshittified.

  Invite only instances are probably going to have to become a thing soon. Like how 99% of Reddit doesn’t let you comment with a new account until you look less like spam.

  But at least here you will always be able to join/start a server to host your account.

  I mean, all the AI deepfake nudes are gross, but I’m interested in the chaos and two awful people getting in a fight.

  It’s still okay for boilerplate but is now woefully behind.

  I have it through my work and I don’t even use it, bit when I do it’s asking another provider anyway.

  Cool, subpoena Trump and his accomplices too.
