I’m not opposed to the technology per se, but I agree, it doesn’t seem practical in any way right now.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 5 days ago:
My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.
- Comment on Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation 6 days ago:
They’re going to use that as the leverage they need to get a good deal on it. Usually these types of investment arrangements give first rights of refusal when looting the corpse.
It’s already calculated, in my opinion.

I’m sure we’ll see a bloodbath in the coming years as it all falls apart, and then the big companies like Microsoft and Google will vacuum up the pieces for themselves.

My niece saw my earrings and asked “if you’re a boy why do you have earrings?” (They are from a very conservative upbringing).
I simply asked, “Well do you like them?” and of course she said “Yeah!”
“That’s why, because they’re awesome.”

If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?

- Comment on AHEKOT/ComfyUI_VNCCS: Visual Novel Character Creation Suite is a comprehensive tool for creating character sprites for visual novels 5 weeks ago:
Very cool. Difficult to pull off with SDXL, but looks like they did it!
I’m thinking Kontext or Nano banana would be a more ideal workflow for this.
I know I’ll be looking into a similar workflow in the future
- Comment on US Bureau of Prisons moves to end union protections for its workers - 35,000 employees stripped of union rights 5 weeks ago:
Unions aren’t where workers get their power from, they get their power by providing labor, and threatening to withhold that labor. If 35,000 workers suddenly didn’t show up to work, or showed up and didn’t do anything, the entire system would collapse immediately.
The union is simply a convenience for negotiation.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 5 weeks ago:
Right, quality is not something that is easy to figure out algorithmically. But adding arbitrary rules like “content length” or “time on page” directly ruins quality by incentivizing content manipulation.
- Comment on Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that! 5 weeks ago:
When search engine optimization becomes a target, content suffers. If Google changed their algorithm to only rank websites with high quality content instead of keyword-stuffed content, we’d see a great improvement in the quality of the internet.
- Comment on PuffPals: Island Skies, a cosy game that earned $2.5 million on Kickstarter, has been slammed with refund requests after its website and online store disappeared 5 weeks ago:
People greatly underestimate the chances of success of a video game, even with $2.5 million. It’s even easy to fail entirely for reasons unrelated to developing a game, such as corporate governance.
It’s not totally comparable, because we did a physical game, the Kickstarter I created ended up succeeding and shipping (over a year late!), we lost virtually all profits to early company investors and surprise tariffs. It was basically a wash financially.

Don’t hold your breath, it’s by the same devs as Kerbal Space Program 2.

Telegraph lines are longer therefore have a larger effect during a solar flare.
But yeah, at a certain level, a solar flare would fry everything.

Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.
No doubt we are wrong on lots of counts, but I think we have good evidence for a lot of it as well.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 1 month ago:
This is my favorite type of democracy. Why even have representatives in a digital-first world?
- Comment on Civilization VII team at Firaxis Games faces layoffs 1 month ago:
Surely that’s normal for a game project? You need fewer people to maintain and make expansion content than you do to create the game.
Not saying it’s ethical but it sounds like that’s the expected timing.

Oh no doubt. Any kind of secession would be resolved with a civil war, and the final borders might not be recognizable.
