On a more positive note the newest IPCC report on climate has population decline being the biggest positive impact on climate change, so keep at it!
- Comment on Next time I swear bro 1 week ago:
They’re also starting to charge more for the BIG ASS models.
The amount of times these things have to regenerate code to get it to work properly during the SOTA “agentic” operations, you can burn through your token allotment and get throttled super quickly.

The secret is a lot of beans actually taste great sweetened.
(Ex: There’s a food called zunda which is crushed and sweetened edamame)

- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 3 weeks ago:
I don’t agree with a total ban, but the writers of the article downplaying the harmful content on YouTube I think have forgotten the multiple times YouTube has gotten in trouble with advertisers for shit like “elsagate” where they were showing mutilation etc. of Disney characters targeted at children.
There needed to be some kind of regulation, but an outright ban is a bit much.
This feels like they’re trying to drive a tack with a sledgehammer.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s accurate because they asked Dlsite before them to restrict their content based on American Law. They tried to remove access to content from outside Japan that Visa was complaining about and Visa still told them to remove the content (I guess cause people were using VPNs) so they had to remove the ability to pay with visa and Mastercard entirely.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 weeks ago:
“Unlawful” based on what? American law?
These are global payment companies, they can’t just have a “we don’t allow payment for illegal content” cause that varies by country (and by state even).
What an absolutely nothing statement.
- Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says 4 weeks ago:
Well, Stable Diffusion 3 supposedly purposefully removed all porn from their training and negatively trained the model on porn and it apparently destroyed the model’s ability to generate proper anatomy.
Regardless, image generation models need some porn in training to at least know what porn is so that they know what porn is not.
It’s part of a process called regularization, or preventing any particular computational model from over-fitting.
- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 5 weeks ago:
I was definitely in the same camp of thinking (I mean Hindenburg etc, duh). But there’s been a bunch of studies where, because hydrogen basically immediately dissappates up and away, unless you’re in an extremely cramped area it’s much safer in collisions and unexpected containment breaches.
Even then, it actually poses less of a threat to life because it doesn’t create smoke or burn for awhile like gasoline does.
- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 5 weeks ago:
Hydrogen is more dangerous than gasoline if it leaks
I’d love to see a source on that.
This Report by the US department of energy says otherwise.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
Again, the issue is this is an American company setting American content policy internationally.
Storefronts and brands can set up local branches and sell through those using the local digital payment provider without getting in trouble with their headquarter’d country. They can’t do that with a private entity that’s decided to set their global content policy to align with America’s.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
Wed probably be in a similar place, but the advantage of a private entity being that it can bridge the already existing digital payments, so if a store big enough like steam had the option to, they could integrate with that country’s digital payments directly.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
True to some degree if you’re an American, but this is Visa setting internal policy for American politics, and that reflecting globally.
Not every country has the same laws or politics that the US does.
- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 1 month ago:
You didn’t say “most” on your original post. You might want to edit it if that’s what you meant.
- Comment on Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development 1 month ago:
? You can get Hydrogen through simple water electrolysis. In fact you can do it at home. That’s like how 4% of all hydrogen is manufactured.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
The reason there’s so few is because people don’t want to have to figure out beforehand whether or not they can use the payment provider they have at the store they want to go to.
I’ve seen this happen multiple times especially in Japan when the barcode payment craze started. There were like 13 competing payment providers and now there are 2. Because people don’t want to have to carry around 13 different types of card or payment typed and have 13 different types of payments. They want one that works everywhere.
It’s why there needs to be sovereign digital payment systems that are legally enforced.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 1 month ago:
Visa continues to set the world’s content moderation policies extra-judicially.
Go figure having all electronic payments be through private companies would have eventual consequences.

I feel like it’s more likely more and more young people will just retreat from the open internet and only trust content from people they already know don’t post AI clips.

- Comment on The games industry is screwed. [26:11] 3 months ago:
I now have no respect for such people whatsoever, as they’ve demonstrated completely and thoroughly, even to the point where my dumb ass can notice, that the only thing that ever “qualified” them to “run a business” was having money.
It’s always heartwarming when people wake up and realize it’s capital ism and not merit ism
And you realize a lot of the books and media you’ve consumed that explicitly stated that weren’t just making a comment on a goofy side effect of that system but the entire enchilada.
