- Comment on are price hikes of computers/consoles really due to ai? 4 days ago:
Its true, but we’ve seen some of the demand is artificial.
Different chip manufacturers are allegedly withholding stock of various parts and saying they dont have enough. Samsung and a bunch of other companies got caught in the early 2000’s as part of a DRAM cartel and had to pause fines. There are rumors that this is happening again but im not sure if anything substantial has come to light yet

I havent used one personally, but my girlfriend has stated that once Google took over fitbit, the whole service took a nosedive in quality. So your milage may vary

- Comment on Suspecting AI cheating, Ivy League prof ordered an in-person final; scores fell 50% 1 month ago:
This is why I’m nervous about going back to school too. I’ve seen people find out their professors are just using AI and it feels so…gross. You pay a lot for school! What’s the point if it’s all just phoned in? And then to top it off you aren’t guaranteed a good job afterwards even if you do well.
I wish there was a better solution to all of this because I would like to change my life trajectory as I’ve grown tired in my current position

- Comment on How to know if that job will crush your soul 2 months ago:
Does your actual compensation take care of what you need for all of your current goals and needs — from day one?
I’ve never had this. Where does one find a job like that today lol. I want to say the majority of people actively do not have this unless they are in a situation where they have been able to live more frugally. Inflation and greedflation have made any pay increases I’ve received in the past decade basically non existent.
That being said I’m basically supporting a family of 4 on a salary of 1.5 people.
- Comment on When it comes to total water use, AI data centers are a drop in the bucket 2 months ago:
I’m concerned about the pollution and noise issue. They seem to disrupt the local ecosystem as well as people living around them terribly.

I hate LinkedIn. Feels so scammy and fake.

I think the main thing that annoys me is trying to pick apart if something is Ai or not.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass ‘has become too expensive,’ says Microsoft’s new gaming chief in leaked memo 4 months ago:
LOL, people unsubscribing is working. I’m shocked it took them this long to react to this, though. The pricing is ridiculous. They would have to slash it in half or more to gain back the number of people lost. Additionally, they keep adding and removing the same games? The value proposition seems low if you have already played the existing catalog.
It seems funny to me that they put all their eggs in one basket and then decided to light the basket on fire and smash it with a hammer.

Thanks! I had no idea you could connect that controller to a PC thats really cool. My PC should be able to handle it find so I’ll have to check it out!

You ever play any GCN in your travels? Wondering if I’m better off hacking my wii (due to the GCN being natively built in) or if emulation through something like dolphin might be better.
Never got to experience the gamecube all that much so im open to ideas. I do have one of those nice wireless wavebird controllers which has me slightly gravitating to hacking the wii

I realized recently that I enjoy reading peoples janky personal messages online. You know it’s a real person. Or at least it probably is.

- Comment on Keen bosses, strange mistakes and a looming threat: workers on training AI to do their jobs 5 months ago:
My job recently shifted me to a new task. The hired 4 or 5 people to do my old work.
What I’m trying to say is that they’ll fire as many people as they want and or say that even though the work is being done “more efficiently” they’ll just offload more and more work onto employees
- Comment on I'm going full time as a bus driver in a virtual version of Spain in this newly revealed simulator 5 months ago:
I swear this is like a ton of jobs. I would mind being a mailman or delivery driver. Except the quotas and hours would kill me.
- Comment on AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations | OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases 5 months ago:
This video has really interesting perspectives on this topic. It includes quotes from various military leaders at the time, with their consensus being that nuclear strikes were not needed to force the Japanese surrender.

I think the big issue is the personification of AI. They’re not people and dont have the same amount of reasoning as a person.
Ai should really just be used for specific use cases like a tool. A hammer is just for hammering.
I guess the main issue is at that point AI should specifically be used more like a computer application rather than a Swiss army knife. So the way it’s commonly used in its chatbot format isn’t necessarily a good or safe way to implement and use it.
- Comment on 12-hour days, no weekends: the anxiety driving AI’s brutal work culture is a warning for all of us 5 months ago:
Ahhh, my apologies. I completely missed your intended meaning. It seems a lot more obvious reading it the second time. Thanks for clarifying. I agree that it seems our governments have different priorities. I hope every day that people learn from countries that treat their citizens better.
