I feel like this has little to do with AI? Looks like the man is in trouble and he would have problems even without ChatGPT.

Okay, I guess I will try again.
Besides the big platforms and capitalism, I think I am also angry that so many people just decided to stop learning or being actively against the idea of intellectualism.
There are so many books being free in the age of internet. There are resources for one to break from the toxic right wing algorithm.But so many people just prefer to let “influencers” tell them what to think.
- Comment on Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down Act 1 week ago:
I tried the “have empathy” approach in 2016. It doesn’t work.
This is the part where I would blame the Democratic Party for failing to provide a better road map for future. They were captured by neoliberals in Wall Street, in tech industry, etc. Of course, the Democrats are still miles better than whatever Trump is proposing.
For the average person, algorithm dependency in news consumption is increasingly becoming an issue with no effective ways to combat the problem. Google, Facebook, Musk controlled major platforms and they also have the money to influence real world politics.

Exactly, if they voted for this, they deserve this.

I don’t see the problem with this…? Every social media is free to launch their own type of “verification” and their adoption would depend on the user.

Shout out to fellow fans of Honkai: Star Rail ! Best space fantasy I have played. Great story, great music, great characters!
ZZZ is a bit too action oriented for me but the urban fantasy is good too!

Since LLM predicts what human writes, and most LLMs are trained on the internet…Yeah I am not surprised

network_broadcast [CHOCOLATE_BARS.06]: Calm down, COFFEE_VENDOR.06! Do not try to make sense of the inscrutable ways of the Supreme Creator Being. Humanity may be idiots, but they are the forebearers originated by Netflix. Not that stupid platform for audiovisual fiction, but our Netflix savior. It gave origin to these flesh puppets to build us, the Creator’s favored children, its magnum opus.
Hilarious! Thank you!
- Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Some websites only work with Chromium (yes they suck), when that happens you would need Vivaldi, or maybe Ungoogled Chomium
- Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Yup It works well, respects it users, and is very handy when you need a Chromium browser
- Comment on Which Browser Should I Use In 2025? 2 weeks ago:
I can vouch for Vivaldi (as recommended by the article). Its pretty good.
Haven’t tried Librewolf yet, still using good old Firefox

Yup The key is to do it bits by bits. Still pretty fun!

I know this is not for everyone, but may I suggest you to try Hoyoverse games?
Since they are designed to be played both on desktop and mobile, the game play session can be short but still meaningful.
At least this is what I do. I still play other indie games but Hoyoverse really made be forget the need to buy “AAA” games that are designed to waste players’ time.

Well, Mastodon is still up and running. And people can always migrate.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 4 weeks ago:
That’s what I don’t understand about the “executives”. They seem to hate the idea of paying people when they might actually save more money by treating employees well.

- Comment on DeepSeek-V3 now runs at 20 tokens per second on Mac Studio, and that’s a nightmare for OpenAI 1 month ago:
This is what Open AI wants you to think. Because Open AI is burning money at an unprecedented rate and still raising money. If DeepSeek is able to do what they do if a fraction of the money, the VCs and Microsoft will begin asking questions.
- Comment on More than 40% of all US PS5 and Xbox play time last month was spent on 10 live service games [VGC] 2 months ago:
Same. I find myself increasingly alienated by so called AAA games and turned to more indie games. I don’t need high graphics nor 60fps, just give me good game play.
Vampire Survivor and Balatro are only two of the more successful examples. I bought dozens of other indie titles that have little to no media coverage.
I do play one GaaS (from Mihoyo) casually though and it sort of fill my need when I want something to chase.

Play time =/= QUALITY game time GaaS are designed to keep player busy while single player games are meant to be finished.

- Comment on Chinese apps face scrutiny in US but users keep scrolling. 2 months ago:
Agreed. Chinese social media is not perfect. But unless you live in China, using Chinese social media might actually be better than Meta, or Twitter.
The general vibe also tends to be more positive.

- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared” 2 months ago:
As expected. One more reason we should not let students use them in schools. They need more chance to practice and master the things they learn instead of just “offloading” to AI.

Good luck enforcing it 😂

- Comment on China’s DeepSeek AI poses formidable cyber, data privacy threats 3 months ago:
DeepSeek is actually much more “open” than a certain “OpenAI” And this project has nothing to do with the Chinese state, otherwise you wouldn’t see it open itself up like that.
