- Comment on Gemini AI tells the user to die — the answer appeared out of nowhere when the user asked Google's Gemini for help with his homework 4 days ago:
it doesnt think and it doesnt use logic. All it does is out put data based on its training data. It isnt artificial intelligence.

is that party in the pockets of oil companies or are they just insane?
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
there are millions being poured into propaganda against using anything but fossil fuels, it all stems from there. But i wonder if its better this way or the alternative way where we would use more nuclear energy but since there would be so much money to be made, the rich would use their money to make all safety regulations null. I wish we could just get rid of the source problem.

- Comment on Facebook Is Auto-Generating Militia Group Pages as Extremists Continue to Organize in Plain Sight. 3 weeks ago:
I think they would increase their control over the politicans and law making system while more critical systems like taxation and police are outsourced. Like, collection corporations can buy the rights to collect taxes and police becomes private, protecting primarily corporations interests while regular people can buy some kind of protection package. We are just discardable tools to them so why would they care for people’s wellbeing beyond maybe not causing revolt due to too much suffering.

- Comment on Meta has suspended several Threads and Instagram accounts that track the private jets of celebrities such as Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian, and Donald Trump 4 weeks ago:
the accounts should be used to inform where the tracking information is collected to instead of being the sole container for it. Never trust that anything you do is safe on corporate servers

- Comment on Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2 1 month ago:
Thing about wordpad at least for me is that its just there if you need to make quick document that doesnt have to be as specificially made as you need to use word, but still more nice looking than just using notepad. You also dont need word to read stuff made with it.
- Comment on Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2 1 month ago:
its pretty neat if you dont have access to word, which is likely why they want to get rid of it

that brightens my day a little to hear
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 1 month ago:

I suppose the conclusion is that we need better ways to verify things
- Comment on No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke. 2 months ago:
I’m not talking about evidence, i’m talking about fundamendal being able to trust anything digital at all in any context. What if you couldnt be sure if phonecall from your friend was actually from your friend or if you cant be sure about any picture shown to you if its actually about some real thing.
Things you need to be able to trust in daily life dont have to be court-level evidence. That is what abuse of ai will take from us.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
What is really scary to me is that many people dont see billionaires as they are, especially since they want to be rich themselves and likely look up to them like some twisted rolemodels.
Ultimately, we are at the mercy of the masses and those masses are somewhat controlled by few people. If somehow people want to start using those implants, those who dont want to will be pressured to get one too.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
Even better way to enslave people than tying basic things like food, water and shelter to money and controlling how to get money. You literally have to pay or you will die and/or suffer.
