- Comment on Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment? 3 hours ago:
its so stupid how the companies seem just incapable of doing reasonable things. Either they hung on to old stuff even if it causes more problems or they jump on to some new hype thing. World would be better place if people with no long-term planning capability couldnt get any influence over anything.

not just internet, they are going to prevent android users from installing any programs they dont approve first. So most likely goodbye opensource
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 1 week ago:
bad reviews are how i evaluate the quality of stuff. Positive reviews cant be trusted most of the time but bad reviews might be more trustworthy. Any company that does this gives clear message that whatever they are selling is scam level quality.

they dont want to make anyones lives better except their own. Pieces of shit like those have been bitter about any improvement to womens rights because they had it good being able to abuse women and want it back. Also minorities are good scapegoat for any problems they cause, so their rights have to go too or the whole thing collapses eventually as people might catch on who is really to blame.
- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 2 weeks ago:
if you want to, but i’m interested to understand in case i wrote my post in unclear way originally

now i’m even more confused

again this does not apply to what i was saying, loving someone doesnt cost you. Frankly i cant tell how you are interpreting me, so i dont know how to clarify what i mean.

with mtg cards, they drain your money so that kind of works too. But rescuing animals or learning something doesnt apply here because it doesnt take anything from you (unless you are kind of insane). Or rather they dont cost too much in terms of invaluable resources like your mental or physical health, just your time which you have to give to everything anyway. Stuff like drugs diminish you being able to enjoy other things and drain your health and relationships. Even if you keep those under control, it still takes something from you, just a bit less.
Though anything can become an addiction too, but if positive things become that then you might have other underlying issues rather than those things themselves causing it.

imo, false happiness is something that takes more than it gives. So drugs is good example, maybe they make you feel good but eventually they stop doing that and start taking from you.
- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 2 weeks ago:
depends how you are enjoying them. If you are delusional and think the stories are real or something, I guess its just that its pretty fragile happiness which might cause harm to maintain it. If you are just enjoying the experiencing those stories then there is nothing negative in that. Ultimately its about how much good does something bring to your life.
Who cares about how it looks to others, unless you are causing harm.

i wonder if they came up with such term to mock those who dont want to use ai and possibly actual vegans on the side.

since they deny it, then everyone should just revert whatever was done to censor stuff.

violent assholes make things worse for both men and women. Women for obvious reasons and men because women have to be more wary.
- Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses' 1 month ago:
its easier to rule world that is in ruins than thriving one. They know they have to live on same planet as us yet still they dont seem to care if its going to shit. While so many rich people are dumb as bricks and dont deserve their wealth at all, there are also many who actually know what they are doing yet still they dont want to seriously work towards stopping the climate change, even though it wouldnt even reduce their wealth by that much in comparison.
So only reasoning i can think of they want to have more complete control over everything, but they cant have it because world is too complicated and healthy. When civilizations start to fall, the rich will still have everything and with that they can start enforcing themselves on everyone.
I dont have anything to base this on, its just my thought on the matter. It just feels like something billionaire would do, they demonstrate every day that they will not be content with anything and will not care about other people’s suffering to get it.
- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 month ago:
even though there are enough signatures now, they still need more to be sure. Some percentage of the signatures will be invalid(people unable to spell their own names and fakes for example) so there has to be big enough safetymargin. Ross made video about it too.
So until the time runs out, everyone should make sure the safetymargin is as big as possible.
- Comment on What Does a Post-Google Internet Look Like 2 months ago:
i just want a service that i dont have to hassle with, so this would definitely not be good for me 😅 Also i dont think many places even accept self hosted email as “real”, at least some places dont accept alias addresses.
its so annoying when any decent alternative costs money, which isnt very good thing for my “official” email which i need for important things. Dont want to end up in situation where i get locked out of it because i didnt or couldnt pay for some reason. Though i constantly have to slightly fear that with google too since they can lock anyone’s account for any reason they see fit.
- Comment on What Does a Post-Google Internet Look Like 2 months ago:
just dont use google? I havent used google search for years now and there hasnt been single time where i would have needed to use google search even once. Though unfortunately i’m still bound to the damn gmail because i cant find better alternative for it.

- Comment on Websites Are Tracking You Via Browser Fingerprinting 2 months ago:
maybe blocking it is the wrong way to go about though. Instead there should be some way to make the fingerprinting data worthless by having everyones browser constantly change things in the background so the fingerprint changes too

people in government are citizens but not every citizen is in government. But every citizen should have equal right and opportunity to be in the government.
- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 2 months ago:
citizens are the government though. if they are not, its not democratic country.
Still, there should be no need to even threaten citizens with violence and if there is, it should be resolved mutually instead of just oppressing the people into submission.

what the hell is wrong with people, first they claim holocaust never happened and now they deny what is literally happening right now. Or at least try to downplay it which is ultimately same in today’s world of not caring about anything
