Desperately needed but with the new administration I don’t think it would be done…
- Comment on Hong Kong plans to install thousands of surveillance cameras. Critics say it’s more proof the city is moving closer to China. 5 weeks ago:
FYI. They didn’t just plan to. There are already thousands of CCTVs around HK now.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Visual Novels 1 month ago:
Ever 17: The Out of Infinity I understand this game may be harder to find since its not on modern platform, but I strongly recommend Ever17.
Eye opening visual novel. Interesting set up, unexpected turn of events. One of the classics. Unfortunately the company went broke so the game is stuck on older platforms.

Touhou series? Some of them are pretty good. The music are also superb.
- Comment on The Antiquity to Alt-Right Pipeline 2 months ago:
Classical architecture is an extremely broad term.
Are you talking about Greece or Roman architecture? Gothic? Byzantine? Renaissance? Baroque?
Even when you talk about “European” there are a variety of styles among different countries.

They made you sure you would always get some Musk tweets. Its very annoying.
- Comment on The Antiquity to Alt-Right Pipeline 2 months ago:
Agreed. Anyone who studies history should understand why Trumpism is bad and unsustainable.
But a lot of people are just in for the historical “aesthetics”.

Great article to let people understand the problematic aspect of Telegram
- Comment on CEO of Telegram messaging app arrested in France, say French media 2 months ago:
You realize there are so many right wing extremists there that they would have been banned had they been using other services?
- Comment on The Difficulty With Difficulty 3 months ago:
Good article. Games should be inclusive and a lot of the working population don’t have the time to “get good”. If it is a single player game let people enjoy in whatever ways they want.

Sometimes I am glad that super cheap Chinese hardware is a thing and I can always switch to those in case these greedy companies all became shit
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough 10 months ago:
Absolutely. Just because Altman “wishes” a new energy breakthrough its not suddenly going to happen. And even if nuclear fusion succeed, applying them in real life in scale is another big problem…

- Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough 10 months ago:
Unfortunately the VC and also MSFT are betting the future on this kind.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough 10 months ago:
Yup. That is definitely the biggest issue.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough 10 months ago:
Very on brand for Altman.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough 10 months ago:
Yes and no. We shouldn’t care about these people but we need to stop them from destroying our world (which they are doing).

- Comment on Why is AI Pornifying Asian Women? 10 months ago:
Looking at some of the replied that tried to dismiss the issue and the general lack of concern from moderators against aggressive replies from AI apologists (in this thread but also other AI related threads) are disheartening.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
Yup, I saw that too. There is also another thread on this board that is discussing this issue.
One interesting thing I noticed is how the AI apologists in this thread seems to be quiet on the other.
- Comment on Where have all the websites gone? 10 months ago:
I used to have a personal website which I am seriously considering making one again.
But self hosting is something I don’t want to work on right now. Neocities maybe one of the options.

Ah! Typical Amazon
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
This is very likely to be true.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
It is supposedly a non-profit, and that is how the board of Open AI tried to fire Altman but than the big tech (Microsoft) intervened and wrestled the control.
Its basically Microsoft now.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
People hate them not because it is fashionable, but because they can see what is coming.
Tech companies want to create tools that would replace million of jobs without compensating the very people that created these works in the first place.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
Yup. I said it in another discussion before but think its relevant here.
Tech bros are more dangerous than Russian oligarchs. Oligarchs understand the people hate them so they mostly stay low and enjoy their money.
Tech bros think they are the savior of the world while destroying millions of people’s livelihood, as well as destroying democracy with their right wing libertarian politics.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
Said in another thread but I will repeat here. AIs are not humans. AIs’ creative process and learning process are also different.
AIs are being used to make profit for executives while creators suffer.
- Comment on OpenAI says it’s “impossible” to create useful AI models without copyrighted material 10 months ago:
So creators are orc now? Wow!
