i dread to think about the amount of double speak this would cause to get around the ai
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 day ago:
“and never will” this should imply something that cant be changed. Such empty words should no longer be even considered no matter who says them, unless its paired with enforceable punishment for breaking the word
- Comment on When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally 1 week ago:
rethink is pretty good for that
- Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 week ago:
also those who dont want to install that spyware shit on their phones. Even if you dont care about the data collection it still consumes battery faster as more and more data is being transferred
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 1 week ago:
I started to feel a little better and like i understand myself a little better after watching some videos from here : www.youtube.com/@OurTimelessWisdom/videos specifically the ones featuring carl jung, havent watched others yet so i cant say anything about those.

no but i feel like i’m being denied it.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 2 weeks ago:
I hope the people who are fighting back understand the importance of making it known people are fighting back. Hope is really important.
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide 2 weeks ago:
hmm, true. Which makes it even more crucial to avoid getting murdered.
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide 2 weeks ago:
if you plan to whistleblow something, always plan it thoroughly so you cant be silenced by being murdered.

fear maybe
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
what profits? the ones that end up in the pockets of the executives?
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 2 weeks ago:
we all have tried apathy and look what it has got to us. Though maybe i am just wrong about this and should be content in watching the world burn.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
which is ironical since without them the profits would likely soar. Doing bad shit 101 is to pin the consequences of your actions on others and falsely claim any benefits others have managed to do as your own achievements.
- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 2 weeks ago:
I’m happy i never got involved with bitcoin. I remember being mildly interested but decided to not bother. If i had a drive with almost billion on it and i had lost it or just not able to access it, it would dig at me too even if i tried to just let it go.
Damn, money really is the root of all evil.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
yeah, though for questions people on stackoverflow would consider stupid or beneath them, ai was superior as it never gets angry with you. How i see the ai is kind of like being able to ask the knowledge it consists of questions. But since it has also been fed with garbage and its all there like ingredients of a soup, who knows what affects what so you really dont want to trust it too much.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 2 weeks ago:
i think you are misuderstanding me. I dont use social media, unless you count using lemmy. I find facebook and xitter disgusting.
What I mean is that those who do use them need to understand its bad not only for them but whole society and that they should stop. But getting them to understand is the problem.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
yeah, there are many things its easier to just give up having the ai do it. even if you somehow succeed it will likely be such mess it gives you its not worth it
- Comment on What would happen if USA invades Canada? 2 weeks ago:
werent they purging the government of any loyalists right now? What will happen after that is finished and they have put more traitors in charge of army, intelligence and such?
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
those executives act like parasites. They bring no value and just leech the life from the companies.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 2 weeks ago:
I’m just a dabbler at coding and even i can see getting rid of programmers and relying to ai for it will lead to disaster. Ai is useful, but only for smallest scraps of code because anything bigger will get too muddled. For me, it liked to come up with its own stupid ideas and then insist on getting stuck on those so i had to constantly reset the conversation. But i managed to have it make useful little function that i couldnt have thought up myself as it used some complex mathematical things.
Also relying on it is quick way to kind of get things done but without understanding at all how things work. Eventually this will lead to such horrible and unsecure code that no one can fix or maintain. Though maybe its good thing eventually since it will bring those shitty companies to ruin.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 2 weeks ago:
deepseek has censorship which makes it unreliable. But hopefully someone will fix that since its opensource. So at least there is that. google is garbage in comparison to chatgpt and i havent tried anything meta has produced since i dont want to have anything to do with that filth, so i dont know anything about that one. So maybe there is some hope in long term, if things dont get worse elsewhere.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 2 weeks ago:
even if openai are assholes, chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it. If that fucker buys it they will turn it into racist shitspewing garbage. Without it, regular people will have no decent or easy way to utilize ai and this new tech will benefit only the rich who will use it to oppress us even worse.
Stinky isnt an idiot, i wish he was. Anything he buys he can and will use to cause harm to us. So this would be bad for us all.
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 2 weeks ago:
something like this would also harm their business in general, like letting someone take a shit on the bakery floor.

Yes it is, but how to make them understand it is
- Comment on If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose? 2 weeks ago:
why would you want to be immortal? everything ends eventually, so why would you want to be the only one forced to stay?
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 2 weeks ago:
I guess its pointless to believe their words since there is no way to know if its them. Just look at what they actually do and judge based on that.
- Comment on what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump? 3 weeks ago:
This has likely been brewing since cold war. Didnt some soviet leader basically gloat how they will destroy usa from within? soviet union has basically won the cold war now, even worse than if they had conquered usa with military.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 3 weeks ago:
the problem with this is that A LOT of people needs to do it. Personally I dont have any problems with trying to maintain my sanity by not reading about awful things or by treating tiktok like the plague it is. But so many are basically addicts and dont even want to hear anything about changing what they do or just plain dont care what you say to them.
- Comment on China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds 3 weeks ago:
there could be some new thing that no one has not even bothered to think about because of the limitations. Imagine streaming back when downloading few kilobytes for an hours was considered reasonable, people would have laughed at the very thought of it.

in warhammer40k there was some saying about “armor of contempt” against influence of chaos. Imo, you need something similar against corporations to resist their shit.
