- Comment on Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips 1 day ago:
The generation that grows up with Ai won’t know what real is. For them, the Ai look is the one they are comfortable with, and the real videos are the odd looking ones. Man I wanted to make a joke, but this is scary as hell. Hope I’m wrong with the future…

- Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay 2 weeks ago:
I mean lot of stuff is written in forums and social media, where people hallucinate. Or even in real life if you talk to one. Its normal for a human to pick up something in their life, later talk about it as a fact, regardless of where they learned it (tv, forum, videogame, school). Hallucinations are part of our brain.
Sometimes being aware of the hallucination issue is still a hallucination. Sometimes we are also aware of the hallucination an Ai makes, because its obvious or we can check it. And also there are Ai chatbots who “talk” and phrase in a more human natural sounding way. Not all of them sound obvious robotic.
Just for the record, I’m skeptical of Ai technology… not biggest fan. Please don’t fork me. :D
- Comment on AI hallucinations are getting worse – and they're here to stay 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, humans tend to hallucinate too.
I asked a local Ai chatbot DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Quen-14B:
Does Ai hallucinate and is it getting worse? Answer in one paragraph.
Answer:
AI does exhibit a form of “hallucination” where it generates plausible but incorrect information, particularly when faced with uncertainty or creative prompts beyond its training scope. This phenomenon occurs as AI constructs logical-sounding answers using available data, even if those answers aren’t accurate. While advancements in AI make these hallucinations more convincing and harder to detect due to improved coherence, the issue isn’t worsening in severity but rather evolving in how it presents itself.

The problem is not that Ai could replace humans; the problem is that executives think they can.
- Comment on Marathon | Gameplay Overview Trailer [YouTube, 5:03 min] 5 weeks ago:
Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).
Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.

You can bet it will have micro transactions like a free to play game, but with an additional premium full price on top of it.

- Comment on But what if I really want a faster horse? 1 month ago:
Better is relative. Also its unfair to compare one species (car) against many possible specialized species (cars). In example you don’t need to repair an expensive car, you don’t need electricity or oil and fuel (and many other stuff). Depending on where you are in the world, a horse might be “better” suited than a car.

Using this technology for preservation sake is just absurd.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 1 month ago:
That’s the Copy-Paste media of today for you. Ironically its probably analyzed, write supported or maybe even completely written by Ai itself.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 1 month ago:
While I agree with you and while I am not the biggest generative Ai fan, we have to admit this is still in early phase and is just a proof of concept what the technology is capable of. The version of this game might not be as good as the original (and that’s only mildly said), that this is possible like this with artificial intelligence tools is impressive.
Its like teaching an ape to program Quake 2. Even if its a shitty version of it, it would be ground breaking.

What do you mean by retroactively? Like deleting remotely from your system, without your permission or decision? Something what Google did with Android before too.
