- Comment on Researchers from the University of Zurich secret unethical experiment deployed AI-generated comments on Reddit to study how AI could be used to change views. 1 week ago:
Unethical, but insightful. The bot took on fake identities and made up lies that strike at people’s emotions to change their views. Unethical because it can manipulate real people (or other bot accounts) using made up facts or scenarios. Insightful because other bots are already doing this; they’re just not disclosing it. There are more ethnical ways to run this study. This was just the cheap and easy way.

- Comment on Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO 1 week ago:
Step One: Provide an exceptional but unprofitable service.
Step Two: Drive out all competition because business model is unprofitable. Become the only service users want and become invested into.
Step Three: Enshitify to show the model can be profitable to investors. Users will not leave because they are already invested and competition is not strong.
Step Four: Go public, while continuing to Enshitify.

Mention her special interests and she will not stop talking about it. Mention that it’s “interesting” and you’ll be getting (in this lore) magical messages while you’re trying to sleep: “And praying matises have what is called a psudopupil. It’s not actually a pupil, but an optical illusion that makes it look like a pupil that is always following you. What it actually is, is that their eyes are these tube-like structures. You only see black, or the ‘pupil’, when you can look directly down the tube. Otherwise, you’re not looking directly down the tube and instead seeing the tube’s inner wall. The overall effect is that it looks like it has a pupil that is always looking at you.”

- Comment on Satisfactory now has controller support, so there’s no excuse for your bad lines 5 weeks ago:
I’m still waiting for the stable release. Mostly because I’m not prepared to lose another 200-300 hours.

I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.

But, without any thrust, they would stay in orbit for years. Eventually, if in low orbit, their space suit will collide with enough stray atoms, it’ll lose enough speed to fall back to earth and incinerate in the atmosphere.

Errr, they can be illegal if they break other laws, like obstructing traffic, damaging property, or trespass on private property. It’s manageable with small groups, but it’s hard to coordinate an angry, large group to not do that. That’s when they call in police and that’s when they make arrests.

It’s hard for me not to engage with their opinions. Like “no, that’s not how that works,” “There’s more to it than that,” “there are several things wrong with what you said.” There’s no point trying to argue on the Internet, but some of there comments make me angry. I especially hate when they support something just to “own them libs” like that takes priority over peoples’ well-being.

- Comment on What are the democrats actually doing to help? 2 months ago:
The “reasonable” moderate Democrats are hoping to win votes with: “We’ll undo a few Republican initiatives and put our friends in offices, but otherwise keep everything the same.” Can’t imagine why that isn’t getting them votes. In 2024 they ran out of Republican initiatives to undo and their platform was just: keep our friends in office and keep everything else the same. If they had other planned initiatives, few people picked up on them.
