- Comment on It’s game over for people if AI gains legal personhood 6 days ago:
The hope is they put the thing on auto pilot and then it replaces the CEO without them knowing due to their own hubris.

- Comment on ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it 1 week ago:
I’m not trying to say we need to responsible with energy use. But this problem is not a tech problem its a political problem, we have figured out green energy for decades at this point but have failed to transition to it. That problem is not cause green tech doesn’t work, its political.
(I’m using green energy to mean energy production that doesn’t create any pollution, unlike the great renewable corn ethanol)
- Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 1 week ago:

- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 2 weeks ago:
Get one of those miniPCs with the Intel N95 or Intel N100 chips. Install kodi. Install the jellyfin plugin and you’re good to go.
You can control it via one of those remotes on amazon with a USB dongle and it powers on the TV and the device.
You’ll have to install the artic theme on jellyfin and mess with the view options a bit for something more polished but once done it just works I’ve been using mine for 3 years and it’s been pretty solid.

- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 2 weeks ago:
Its the subscriptions, it makes my monthly stuff easier to manage. Other grocery stores have merged anyway so it’s kinda watching 2 monsters fight, either way we are fucked lol. Alexa I get that. The firestick is decent hardware for the price you can try side loading Kodi and using that to bypass all their amazon BS. That way you get their subsidized hardware and avoid their ads.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 2 weeks ago:
I’ve spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.
All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 2 weeks ago:
I mean no offense here. But Microsoft isn’t an OS company anymore they are an AI company. They have moved a lot of things to the web and they deal with orgs rather than end users.
PS. I want your statement to be true.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 2 weeks ago:
Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.

Its how you say hello to a nazi!
- Comment on Elon Musk pressured Reddit’s CEO on content moderation 4 weeks ago:
So a Nazi can be like saying some nazi shit and you’re not gonna punch them? Why? They constantly incite violence by dehumanizing people, how is that fine? Is it OK to incite violence by not doing violent things? Do you only care about aesthetics?

Then what’s to stop a kid from spoofing the adult headers? Wouldn’t that make the whole thing needlessly complicated?
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
What’s gonna stop a pedo from changing the headers to child so that they can access the child internet where all the children are? Like it’s not a great solution to me.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 1 month ago:
That would be fine. But as long as it can use it as RAM and not just a staging ground.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 2 months ago:
I understand the memory constraints but it does feel weird for framework, is all I have to say. But that’s also the general trajectory of computing from what it seems. I really want lpcamm to catch on!
