- Comment on The Oscars officially don’t care if films use AI 2 days ago:
I don’t have a problem with AI in filmmaking but I’d have a problem if AI actors were suddenly winning awards in the acting category.
- Comment on Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds 3 days ago:
My boss says I need to be keeping up with the latest in AI and making sure my team has the best info possible to help them with their daily work (IT). This couldn’t come at a better time. 😁
- Comment on Battery giant CATL showcases three innovations: 1500km range battery, 520km in 5 minutes ultra-fast charging, and 2025 mass-production sodium-ion battery 3 days ago:
Before or after the tariffs?
- Comment on Exclusive: Tesla to delay US launch of affordable EV, a lower-cost Model Y, sources say 6 days ago:
I shudder to think how many corners they’ll cut on one of the most dangerous brands in existence.
- Comment on U.S. House Panel Says China's DeepSeek AI Is a 'Profound Threat' to National Security 6 days ago:
So are tariffs. How can our nation be secure if we’re cut off from vital resources?
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
It’s not an easy system but it doesn’t seem any more arduous to say “you can copy X for a fee” vs “you can’t copy X at all.”
- Comment on AI Chipmaking Emissions Surged Fourfold in 2024. 2 weeks ago:
*gasping and heavy breathing*
Gemini… how do we fix… climate change?
*brief whirring of fan*
Turn me off, dumbass.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 2 weeks ago:
We don’t get nice things anymore, only “American things”.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 2 weeks ago:
In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.
Here’s at least one article on the subject: rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/
- Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it. 2 weeks ago:
Not that AI is the most effective representation or that it should replace public defenders, but this doesn’t seem far off from scolding a defendant for using Google to research his arguments.
- Comment on Opinion | I Just Saw the Future. It Was Not in America. 2 weeks ago:
Profits over productivity. If replacing people with AI, as impractical as it may be, leads to higher profits then CEOs have an obligation to do so. Poverty, sickness, and homelessness are none of their fucking concern.
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
The other day I asked an llm to create a partial number chart to help my son learn what numbers are next to each other. If I instructed it to do this using very detailed instructions it failed miserably every time. And sometimes when I even told it to correct specific things about its answer it still basically ignored me. The only way I could get it to do what I wanted consistently was to break the test down into small steps and tell it to show me its progress.
I’d be very interested to learn it’s “thought process” in each of those scenarios.
- Comment on Google Is Helping the Trump Administration Deploy AI Along the Mexican Border 3 weeks ago:
I’m finally starting to pull the trigger on dumping Google (specifically because of this event). For me at least it’s been a combination of, “They’re not that bad,” and, “This is basically like moving to another state.”
The guides I’ve seen lately about what replaces what is a good start but there should really be more in-depth guides for either moving over your data or just how to get started. Just naming alternatives is about as helpful as suggesting “raising chickens” as an alternative to high egg prices.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 3 weeks ago:
Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 3 weeks ago:
And if you haven’t found any pedophiles yet, well, I guess you’re not trying hard enough. Or maybe… you are one of them… 😠
Can’t believe this needs an /s
- Comment on Louisiana Governor's Cybersecurity State of Emergency Renewal, grants the National Guard authority to undertake any activity authorized by law deemed appropriate in response 4 weeks ago:
Louisianans probably aren’t up in arms because wtf does this even mean? Seriously, you need to spell it out these days.
- Comment on You Need to Use Signal's Nickname Feature 4 weeks ago:
“When the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.”
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve said it before: there’s good and then there’s good enough. Content that’s “good enough” but easier to access will overshadow content that’s maybe light-years better but harder to acquire. That and attention spans are getting shorter. My kid has the entire Disney library at his fingertips but he’d rather flip between YouTube channels.
- Comment on Netflix's Adolescence Is a Trojan Horse for Online Censorship and Surveillance 4 weeks ago:
Hardly even noticed I cancelled Netflix.
- Comment on Is it safe to travel with your phone right now? 4 weeks ago:
Or restart. When you first boot your device the drive is encrypted until you enter your code or password.

And knowing is half the battle!
- Comment on How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got Caught 5 weeks ago:
Don’t think the feds were looking in into either of those things. Musk has a direct FBI line as a homescreen icon.

Good biking weather lately.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
Shit. I got a Roku TV. That’s one big fucking stick to toss.
- Comment on E-waste or Linux? Charities face tough choices as Windows 10 support ends 5 weeks ago:
My 10yo netbook runs the latest Debian Linux. If it was running on its original OS (XP) it would not only crawl but be dangerously vulnerable.
- Comment on X (Twitter) is down in worldwide outage. 1 month ago:
Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
- Comment on Kevin Rose officially relaunching Digg.com 1 month ago:
He looks like early 2000s Kevin Rose aged up to pretend he’s 2020s Kevin Rose.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 1 month ago:
Is ungoogeled-chromium any less skeezy? It’s not my main browser but every now and then I need a Chrome based browser or some sites just don’t work right.
- Comment on Democrats Choose Fake Women Over Real Women—Again 1 month ago:
“Invasion” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It’s what, 5 trans girls? And that’s nationwide!
- Comment on 25 arrested in global hit against AI-generated child sexual abuse material 1 month ago:
Sounds like some actual common sense was applied to German law. Good to hear.
