That’s true! There are plenty of other reasons why the technology is bad.

I do see the harm. “Everything that looks bad is fake” is not very far from what this guy has said before, and more fake stuff circulating makes it easier for his 30% to believe him.
- Comment on Never fall asleep first! 4 weeks ago:
The (non-vandalized) version of this image is a fake. Do not continue to spread it around.
There is plenty of real stuff out there to make fun of him for.
- Comment on Tim Cook to step down as CEO of Apple: ‘the greatest privilege of my life’ 5 weeks ago:
In a period of unbelievable growth, having an operations guy at the helm was probably the right call. But he overstayed his welcome and bent the knee to Trump.
And they’re gonna have an engineer make the big decisions now. Hell yeah.

Alternatively: what he is doing is causing immense suffering on a societal level and if he stopped doing it many people would live when they would otherwise die.
If the government is unable or unwilling to stop him, or even stop accelerating what he’s doing, then there are other options.
- Comment on Perhaps the only appropriate use of AI 1 month ago:
My plan, if I’m ever forced to use it for work or whatever, is to have a Claude.md file that says stuff like - you are not my friend - you are not a person - you aren’t even a “you” - you are a weighted random number generator built with plagiarism - do not ever, EVER, pretend otherwise
- Comment on Full circle. 1 month ago:
The only potentially generous way to interpret that statement is if “here” is like downtown in a major city or near a college campus or something.
But do you know who deserves the benefit of the doubt? Not this little fucker, not one bit.

Green Party: distract mostly left-leaning people to make it easier for Republicans to get elected
- Comment on It hurts. 1 month ago:
I lived downtown for a couple of years and drove north on Illinois street to get to work. This swerve as it crossed 16th street and the corresponding confusion to drivers just about killed me a few times.
- Comment on It hurts. 1 month ago:
Indianapolis built the central mile square of streets aligned with magnetic north, but then the rest of downtown aligned with true north. It’s almost aligned, which causes problems at that border.

I’m gonna get scolded for how much of a raging party throw

If you’ve never seen this done to a horse, don’t.

- Comment on Explain it like I'm 5: Why is everyone on speakerphone in public? 2 months ago:
Using speakerphone in public is acceptable in one scenario: your phone’s normal speaker/mic is broken, you don’t have headphones, and a loved one is calling you as they’re dying.

God, I just love soulless images built with stolen work by setting the world on fire and poisoning the water

Oh, I’ve read this one before! The cocaine was so pervasive, they even found it in the blanks! Too bad publishing that makes the report kind of useless.
If you really want to see something, and you’re sloppy with your blanks, an LCMS can detect anything you want.

I could usually hear the gasp.

D) Gasp, then quickly look around to see if the TA saw
I was a TA. The answer was always D.

- Comment on A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad 4 months ago:
Again, reading the announcement, it sounds like the advice the developer received in school was to use it. He’s realized now that it was a bad call.
- Comment on A Steam dev is deleting his own game after girlfriend made him realize AI is bad 4 months ago:
The announcement suggests the developer wrote all the code, but used the slop robot to generate assets. Sounds like the issue is that making art assets actually takes skill, and is something most programmer types underestimate.
- Comment on It's called traditional medicine sweety, look it up 4 months ago:
I usually don’t scope someone’s history because of one bad comment, but yeesh. You’ve been here for one day and it’s just about 100% bad.
- Comment on Humid Acid 4 months ago:
People who insist on alkaline water (and other such nonsense) deserve exactly what they get: no benefits and empty wallets.
The charlatans who peddle the stuff, though. They can go right to hell.

Basic science: there are conductors and there are insulators
Advanced science: also there are semiconductors because of quantum mechanics and stuff
Mad science: everything is a conductor if you’re brave enough
