  I wish I could remember the article, but years ago there was some article with an outrageous headline, and the entire article was how nobody reads the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also have noticed the “anti-woke” “curator”.

  It’s simply amazing. Imagine not buying a game because the protagonist is a woman. If you don’t want to play Control, you’re missing out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Bluesky, and the splintering of social⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Diversification is definitely a better word

  Shooting everyone in the foot by shooting through your own foot first. Ma…ma…multikill.

  (Also includes Episode 1 and Episode 2 - sort of… “DLC”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 Anniversary Update⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also workshop and graphical updates - pretty neat

  Stellar example of a republican: “Fuck you, I got mine”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really wish fire departments would do this.

  I’m not giving Fascist Musk and Zuckernazi more power by creating an account to view whether my house is going to burn down from the growing wave of wildfires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps they’ll start using the fediverse…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving X for Bluesky After Trump’s Election⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Email does not have issues finding emails.

  Ah now see…

  I’ve certainly had issues with desktop outlook finding emails that mobile outlook recieved minutes ago. But now pertinent is that is only true for modern email - and only true for established email - it’s why everyone suggests not hosting your own email.

  But, hopefully that experience continues to improve so it’s not a concern for any longer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving X for Bluesky After Trump’s Election⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunate since people are confused on the whole federated aspect (which… who hasn’t used email? 🤦🏻‍♂️), but also the interactions are much more rewarding since they’re genuine and don’t feel like an algorithm (since there is no algorithm).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facial Recognition That Tracks Suspicious Friendliness Is Coming to a Store Near You⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely no way this doesn’t explicitly target certain groups of people and end up in a lawsuit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kamala Harris' 'Fortnite' map bans guns, has less than 400 people playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, like maybe talk about women’s rights?

  Whatever campaign project manager set this up needs to take a step back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t seem like that gravy train will roll on forever

  I mean, for all we know, only AI is playing this game!

  Man, wait till this journalist hears about this little thing called the Fediverse.

  Now how about forum signatures?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alan Wake, Control developer Remedy reveals first-ever multiplayer game [FBC: Firebreak, Co-op multiplayer control spinoff]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems more like Left 4 Dead or Deep Rock Galactic (without the mining)

  But some of the frames seem like they have inspiration from Lethal Company… the setting (and Remedy’s humor) would definitely make it work if there’s more inspiration we don’t see yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you filthy casuals wouldn't understand⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did actually, and it worked, though they may have changed it by now.

  Think I have a screenshot somewhere…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you filthy casuals wouldn't understand⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit, at this rate we’re months away from being able to play Doom on Amazon product pages (fun fact, you can totally use the AI prompts like it’s chatGPT and ask for python code, lmao)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eurogamer: It's been 12 months since Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard, so what's changed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  –BTW this article looks like an ad for Jason Schreier’s new book about this topic, that releases soon and is mentioned as the last sentence in the article with a single link that spans across 4 lines.–

  He’s had a few other articles written, but given the detail and research, I think he can be forgiven. It’s not like he’s trying to sell something that doesn’t live up to what the book is about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A llm making business decisions has no such control or safety mechanisms.

  I wouldn’t say that - there’s nothing preventing them from building in (stronger) guardrails and retraining the model based on input.

  If it turns out the model suggests someone killing themselves based on very specific input, do you not think they should be held accountable to retrain the model and prevent that from happening again?

  From an accountability perspective, there’s no difference from a text generator machine and a soda generating machine.

  The owner and builder should be held accountable and thereby put a financial incentive on making these tools more reliable and safer. You don’t hold Tesla not accountable when their self driving kills someone because they didn’t test it enough or build in enough safe guards – that’d be insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eric Schmidt: ‘We’re not going to hit the climate goals. I’d rather bet on AI solving the problem.’ With "alien intelligence"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering the staggering cost of AI models, waiting until AI solves the problem is going to do nothing but prove the Great Filter hypothesis.

  European Union countries failed to agree on whether…

  🤨

  Yet both Android and Apple phones use MEMS silicon for their devices, so why were only Apple phones affected?

  Glad I’ve got an Android since I could potentially work with liquid Hydrogen…
