Places GPT-based “AI” next to flying cars
- Comment on YouTube Shorts can now run up to three minutes 1 month ago:
Pretty soon they’ll be 10 minutes, and then longer, and eventually they’ll be just like any other YouTube video, except in vertical.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Meta is a little hard because they acquired a lot of existing social networks in their prime and have kept things subtle. Think about how long it took EA to finally strip Maxis of everything but The Sims. The only way you would know something is owned by Meta is from the splash screen.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
Basically, “you can do whatever you want as long as it benefits us.” I hate for-profit social networks.

And everyone else in the process.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
The notion that every artist has to somehow protect their works for all of their life and beyond the grave is obviously dumb and purely favors corporations at the cost of pitting artists themselves and fans.

I’m implying that people choose the path of least resistance.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 8 months ago:
While I totally agree, the average Joe is just going to gravitate to whomever controls the ecosystem. Kinda hard to trust a higher authority who Google can’t even get their in-house shit together.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 8 months ago:
Google’s marketing department defies logic every day.
- Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge 8 months ago:
Just why does anyone actually like that company?
I mean, if Google weren’t shit, I’m sure Android would be more viable. They’ve can’t even keep a consistent brand! They’ve gone from Google Play this and that, to migrating everything - including podcasts - to YouTube.

- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg indicates Meta is spending billions of dollars on Nvidia AI chips 9 months ago:
The real winners are the chipmakers.
- Comment on A New York Times copyright lawsuit could kill OpenAI 9 months ago:
The problem with copyright is that everything is automatically copyrighted. The copyright logo is purely symbolic, at this point. Both side are technically right, even though the courts have ruled that anything an AI outputs is actually in the public domain.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Most (popular) programs are lagging because they’re all bundling an entire web browser to get around the cross-platform hurdle. Good in theory, bad in practice. However, even infamous programming languages like Java are now as fast as C thanks to advances in hardware and software, such multiple cores and asynchronous tasks.
- Comment on ChatGPT's new AI store is struggling to keep a lid on all the AI girlfriends 9 months ago:
OpenAI is trying soo hard to put the lid on the pandora’s box they opened.

And OpenAI hasn’t exactly been open since GPT-3.

I’m gonna have to press X to doubt that, OpenAI.
- Comment on Twitch rescinds policy that allowed ‘artistic nudity’ / The decision comes two days after the company said it would allow some sexual content 11 months ago:
At this point, it feels hard to argue that Twitch’s TOS is even enforceable.

- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
While I appreciate them going a greener route, if these chat AIs are still this inefficient to simply train, maybe it is best left to return them back to the research phrase.
