It doesn’t help that one of the main instances will outright delete comments for being pro capitalism and the users of said instance will downvote any comment that doesn’t get removed but isn’t anti capitalist enough.

But the so called tankie triad is reviled enough that I would say it is actually proof of diversity of thought. There are conservative communities and instances but for the most part they don’t get much engagement because the content is usually pretty low quality even if it gets seen at all as many people will block or instances will defederate from those types of hosts.

I would consider myself more right wing than most users on the fediverse but even I don’t have much desire to engage with MAGA/fascist right wing content.

Pepe king prawn.

Yeah the developer might suck but an accomplished developer would have to spend more time fixing bad vibe code that is generated due to limited context window and backwards reasoning by the AI.

Vibe coding is fast because it sucks and is so sloppy

I don’t think it had prerolls during the flash days but it had banner ads as far back as I can remember

You would think that I would do some basic fact checking…

I missed when Vince Z went from Respawn to Dice LA. I retract my claims of AI

You would think IGN would have budget for basic fact checking but this article was probably written by AI Edit: this was a bad call by me, it turns out everything appears to be accurate. I just was making assumptions based off of outdated information

Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax are awful entities that I never consented to share my personal financial data with. But one wrong doesn’t justify another. Personally I think a score by private data brokers to judge creditworthiness is less harm than a score by your government to judge social worthiness but both are harm.

I can flash my id to a bartender who doesn’t need to take a copy or otherwise retain my PII to serve me. This isn’t how we do age attestation in most cases right now. We require a third party to issue and verify identity and said third parties have been show to be poor stewards of our identity.

Markiplier did not invent Let’s Plays lol. Let’s Plays were nearly dead by the time he created his channel. He just was the first person to make FNAF Let’s Plays popular (I would assume, I’ve never watched anyone on this list because I’m over the age of 30)

Pretty good at not being Reddit which is my number one reason for using it.

Not that internally hosted applications don’t have downtime but certainly they have it running on DoD servers and not the public cloud, right?

remembers who the current administration is

Oh god.

Granted I never made it further than freshman level physics in college but doesn’t heat needs a media to radiate away. Otherwise it just stays in place? So there would be nothing to move the heat away from installation? The ISS uses these big radiators the emit the waste heat as infrared light. That seems like a plausible method to exhaust waste heat. But I don’t have any clue if that can scale up to the level of a huge data center compared to the systems on the ISS

The PS5 Pro is way overpriced and the regular PS5 doesn’t really have many exclusives over PS4 so it’s not a big surprise they can’t move consoles

Phil was probably the last thing keep Xbox from fully imploding. You could tell he was an actual gamer that cared about the Xbox as a games console and not whatever Frankenstein they are going to turn it into.

It’s sad but Xbox had a really good run. Xbox won’t exist beyond the next console generation, it may not even make it that far before it just becomes gamepass.

This will probably be unpopular but the leftist - liberal infighting is my least favorite part of the fediverse and why I usually end up having to give people a warning before telling them to get on the fediverse.

This drama is kind of the epitome of that

As long as it is roasted in salt and olive oil, the whole thing is good

It’s the same thing as people who are concerned about AI generating non-consensual sexual imagery.

Sure anyone with photoshop could have done it before but unless they had enormous skill they couldn’t do it convincingly and there were well defined precedents that they broke the law. Now Grok can do it for anyone who can type a prompt and cops won’t do anything about it.

So yes, anyone could have technically done it before but now it’s removing the barriers that prevented every angry crazy person with a keyboard from being able to cause significant harm.

He’s not telling you to be terrified of the single bot writing a blog post. He’s telling you to be terrified of the blog post being ingested by other bots and then seen as a source of truth. Resulting in AI recruiters automatically rejecting his resume for job postings. Or for other agents deciding to harass him for the same reason.

Edit: I do agree with you that he was a little lenient with how he speaks about the capabilities of it. The fact that they are incompetent and still seen as a source of truth for so many is what alarms me

I thought Apple News was a glorified RSS reader prefilled with subscriptions to various feeds. I didn’t realize they did curation.

My Gen Alpha children will probably lead happy and fulfilling lives. Sure they don’t have a privileged childhood but they have food security and two loving parents which is the best predictor of future adult happiness that I know of.
