Good luck, buddy. You’re gonna need it.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
I’ve watched people get stupider in the past few years using LLMs to replace thinking for themselves, so, yeah I guess so.
You can say it’s just a problem with capitalism, and, yes, capitalism is a problem, but AI is the current tool de jure that capitalists are using to crush workers, so, yes, I oppose it.
It’s pointless to argue about how it could be used in a post capitalist world, we don’t live in that world, we live in a world where LLMs are actively being used to harm the working class.

Ah no, buddy, you misunderstand me. I’m gonna play this game, my experience on the previous ones parallels yours closely. I’m deciding if I’m gonna pay for it or not.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
I think it’s genuinely too early to say definitively one way or another, but anecdotally, the people I see educated with LLMs are a lot less capable than people who aren’t.
Only time will tell how badly we’ve allowed ourselves to get fucked over to benefit a few ultra rich companies.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
That’s the thing.
Your specific opinions on how LLMs should be used or not use don’t affect how they are being used.
A system is what it does, plain and simple, and LLMs look like they’re doing serious damage to our societies to really just benefit the wealthy.

Dude this publisher is totally dogshit. I’m torn between paying for it to support the dev or not.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
Here’s another fun piece you can read.
The incoming AI apocalypse isn’t about Skynet drones or malicious AGI, it’s about creating generations of vastly less educated and cognitively deficient lower classes and restricting traditional education to the wealthier echelons of society, gatekeeping the poor out by cost alone.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
It’s important to remember that it doesn’t really matter how you, personally, use their product or think it should be used, it matters how it is used by large swaths of society. Don’t get fooled into promoting some billionaire’s tool to shift wealth further upward and further denigrate the working class in your quest to get out of spending 15 minutes searching for the right D&D character picture.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 1 week ago:
In my experience, people who use LLMs as educational tools… don’t actually learn very well. They think they are, but they don’t retain the knowledge nor do they seem able to infer from or apply the knowledge very well. There are even some early studies that are showing that using LLMs decreases cognitive ability, and considering how many kids and young people are using it to get their way though school and even higher education… I think we’re using AI to raise a generation of stunted minds. That’s going to be a bigger issue as time goes on and with the state of the world and who owns the LLMs… it looks like a grime, sad future thanks to this tech.

I never thought it was a good game, but I knew it was oddly popular
- Comment on Why do we eat dessert? 1 week ago:
I think it’s more cultural as it’s not uniform globally. I don’t care much for dessert as a concept, but I love a piece of cold fruit, like an orange, strawberry or melon after dinner. I find it helps reset the mouth after a flavorful meal. And I’ll usually have a cup of tea with it.

Yeah he primarily posts English language content because his humor is mostly based off English speaking stereotypes instead of, well, jokes.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On Starting Discussions With Paramount Skydance Over The Future Of Star Trek TV 2 weeks ago:
For what it’s worth, I also found those opening court room scenes in SFA absolutely maddening. The whole scene made so little sense. Why was Caleb even in that room? Why did the Federation rip a child away from his mother like that anyway? Even if his mother was arrested, why did they go about it in the most trauma inducing way possible? If Nus is so dangerous, why was he just allowed to stand next to the person accusing him of abuse?
I feel like we already have solutions to so many of the issues in that opening scene alone in the backwards 21st century, why were we again struggling to solve them in the 32nd?
- Comment on German man says american are savages 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah absolutely I ain’t denying that, I just don’t like that this dude is doing this for content.
- Comment on German man says american are savages 2 weeks ago:
This dude is a comedian and calling things kinky is one of his catchphrases.
Another reason I don’t like this idea of this dude being used as any source of information, I find his comedy routine exhausting and overly laden with tired, old stereotypes instead of actual humor. A lot of his jokes are “Germans are fetishists”, “Germans used to be Nazis”, :Germans are rigid and rules following" and “my wife is Jewish, isn’t that bizarre?”
- Comment on German man says american are savages 2 weeks ago:
Kinda misleading. This dude is a comedian and “influencer” (not really in the typical sense but he films a lotta stuff for online content). He cuts filming just as people are moving out of the way for the ambulance.
I ain’t saying NYC doesn’t have a problem with what he’s saying, but I am saying you can see how he’s not being entirely honest and he’s incentivized to be dishonest.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman On Starting Discussions With Paramount Skydance Over The Future Of Star Trek TV 2 weeks ago:
I’ll take more workplace comedy with Tawny Newsome.
Lower Decks was the best of the newer Trek series and her podcast had been a real hoot. It was fun seeing her in the Lower Decks x Strange New Worlds crossover, so I bet she’ll do well in a series.

- Comment on Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? 2 weeks ago:
Personally, I found the card game element interesting for a bit and then tedious and ultimately I went back to KSP. But I also wanted more direct control and other KSP elements that Mars Horizon didn’t quite scratch.
- Comment on Is there anything like a strategy version of KSP? 2 weeks ago:
Aurora 4X seems closest to what you want, that I know of, at least.
Mars Horizon might get a bit close, but I think it’s a little more simple than you’re looking for. There’s a demo for it on Steam so it’s easy to try, at least.

Then the other things seem more useful for you in particular.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 3 weeks ago:
That’s a great suggestion! They also tend to host specific exhibits and events that give good opportunities to meet people with similar interests.
Plus they’re just fun. One in a small city by me has an exhibit on local glass manufacturing techniques from the previous turn of the century and how some were invented locally, comparing them to ceramic techniques from across the globe and time. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 3 weeks ago:
Hey, I’ve also made long term friends from underground raves/sex dungeons. It’s a totally valid way to make friends. Like so many other methods, you already have a shared interest, that’s a springboard to explore if you’re otherwise compatible as buddies.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 3 weeks ago:
True! Making friends out of strangers isn’t really all that difficult, but it does take some practice in being a normal human being and talking to people you just run into.
The sense of community in America is really dying out hard as people isolate themselves further in their little islands of homes and apartments and only socially exist online. But it is possible to just chat with some person you meet in the park while going for a walk without being a weirdo, just many people have forgotten how.
There’s a group of guys I meet up with in the warmer months to fish for bass under a bridge. How’d I meet them? I was fishing for trout in a lake and one of em asked if I had any bites. We had a normal chat between fishers, asking about what we’re targeting, what kinda bait and lures we’re using, comparing successes and failures. I peppered in some info about myself, e.g. mentioned a local noodle bar I liked, mentioned my partner, he did the same, we felt we were similar enough, he invited me to join him and his friends and now we meet up every couple of weeks between April and October.
You just gotta talk to people and not make it weird.
