The whole technology is based on a flawed simulation of intelligence. It has no understanding of the meaning of what it is saying. It will always be bullshitting.
- Comment on Anon crunches some numbers 1 week ago:
Every invention or discovery sped up our development. Agriculture gave us excess time and energy to pursue other things than bare survival. Writing allowed us to better record and share ideas and knowledge. Mathematics allowed us to better understand the world. Fertilizer allowed us to boost our food production and population, leading to more people to help science and technology ahead. Computers allowed us to almost instantly solve problems that would have taken centuries to do by hand, further speeding up our technological development. All of it has been exponential so far.

1- The second paragraph could very well be interpreted as suggesting that hypothetical threat allegations being fraudulent and therefore suggest the opposite. This is downright bad faith from your part.
2- I’m being mad at someone calling me a “liar” and trying to continue to force their own erroneous interpretation of my own words after I immediately clarified it for them and who keeps doubling down on it even after further explanation.
3- You call it “vague” and yet still claim that I “absolutely did” mean what you think I meant, once again giving yourself a completely unwarranted benefit of the doubt on the matter against the now overwhelming evidence.
4- Everyone else interpreted it correctly except you.
5- Why the fuck would I even accuse Anon of making death threats when they were never mentioned in the article to begin with? It is much telling that this is where your mind went immediately.
6- You came here looking for something to get angry about and thought you found it by diagonally reading through my comment and jumped to conclusions. Now that I called you out on it you decided that it had to be my fault instead and are going further down the rabbit hole of inventing all sorts of malicious intents from my part.
7- You don’t have to admit it to me, only yourself. Because you will be blocked as soon as I have sent this. You will be the first one I’ve ever blocked on Lemmy over a comment argument too. I thought I had left this crap behind me when I dumped Reddit years ago but some seem to have followed. Which by the way also refutes your new unsubstantiated accusation of having made my original “deliberately vague” as if I had created some sort of trap to attract people like you. You can now rest assured that I don’t want people like you in my life.

Stolen value.

Sure, tell yourself that all you want if it makes you feel better about yourself.
- Comment on Anon breaks up 3 weeks ago:
I never suggested that Anon do any death threat and this concern is covered in the rest of my comment.
- Comment on Anon breaks up 3 weeks ago:
I mean if someone makes death threats to someone else they should absolutely have their guns taken away.
The problem is that the system is open to abuse. Anyone who wants to get back at someone can make up allegations and have their guns taken away with no due process.
But on the other hand if you make this process too difficult you can allow someone who is actually dangerous to keep their guns.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 4 weeks ago:
Interesting how we’ve all become accustomed to the notion that “agreeing to arbitration” has just become “waving your consumer rights” and no one questions whether this should be legal to begin with.

Corporate jargon translation:

- Comment on Anon likes a thing 5 weeks ago:
Here’s a controversial one: Target shooting.
It used to be a skill you honed, going to the range to become better every time. Participate in competitions, meet people. It was a great hobby.
And then the idiots who unironically wear Punisher logos and try to cosplay as some military/special forces/action movie hero at the range ruined it.

I saw a clear separation between me and the idiot part of the demographic who enjoys the show at the Pickle Rick episode.
It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t even a good story or episode. It was just the writers deciding to come up with the most blatantly random thing for the sole sake of randomness.
- Comment on Subnautica's Original Creators Have Been Removed From Unknown Worlds "Effective Immediately", As Krafton Makes Concerning Leadership Changes 1 month ago:
Unknown Worlds was already dead anyway.
The team had already lost any chance of recreating the greatness of the first game when their sound designer made unbelievably stupid comments on social media, leaving the company no choice but to fire him.
This is very sad because I loved their stuff ever since the Natural Selection Half-life mod.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 month ago:
Nah, the top 0.1% will just pocket 90% of the fruits of that extra productivity and the top 10% the remaining 10%.
The rest will either be fired or asked to do the part of the work those who were fired did for the same pay.

- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 1 month ago:
America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably. But all that extra productivity is hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.
- Comment on HIGH ON LIFE 2 Official Trailer 2 months ago:
One thing that I hope they didn’t carry over from the first one is the ad-libbing of 90% of the NPC’s lines. The voice actor is not good at improv and constantly resorts to swearing and throwing insults out of no where for shock value whenever he hits a block. At first it was funny because it was different to what you’re used to but it got old really quick.

Holy crap if they started doing that in my area I’d switch to an EV within a month.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 2 months ago:
Point said nozzle towards offending ad dispensing machine, squeeze trigger for a few moments, light a match, tell yourself that it was all worth it while recovering in a jail hospital.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
I’ve been driving for over 20 years, still enjoy driving manual. But some people never enjoy driving and see it as a chore, I guess you must be one of them.
And “emergency” is just when you need acceleration now. Like for when you overtake someone or are merging on the highway.
Also I know America bashing is popular on this website but you just came across as prejudiced and ignorant. And FYI I’m not even American.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
To be fair it is more complicated than that. You have to feel the car start to move, hear the revs react, adjust the rate at which you release the clutch and how much gas you give accordingly and for some vehicles/situations you even need to pause the release of the clutch for a moment to let the vehicle start to gain speed. It’s all something you eventually get used to and can do without thinking but there is a significant frustrating hump to get over in the learning curve.
I feel like those who say they don’t understand why people like driving manual are people who never got over that hump.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
Well then you are misunderstanding what I’m talking about because you’re trying to tell me that a behavior that I have noticed to be common on dozens of automatic vehicles that I have driven over two decades doesn’t exist.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
There is a difference between a “vroom” from the engine revving up and actual acceleration.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
Manual: floor it, instant pull. If I want to downshift I will.
Automatic: floor it, hesitation, downshift, revs go higher but nothing happens because it isn’t sure if it wants to downshift again, hesitation, downshifts, revs go crazy and outside of power band or just at the top end of it, shitty pull, upshifts almost right after. Finally some pull.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 2 months ago:
- It is more engaging. Getting a smooth shift or a perfect rev match on a downshift is very satisfying. Shifting gears when your have a car with smooth, very mechanical shifter feels even more satisfying.
- If you ever have to gun it in an emergency with a manual the acceleration is instant. In an automatic you have to wait a few seconds for the transmission to figure out what gear it wants to be in before anything actually happens.
- In a manual you feel much more like the car is an extension of you.
- Going back to driving an automatic usually feels like you’re being handed a children’s toy.
I guess there can be some elitist mindset to being able to do something that fewer and fewer people can do. But thinking that this is the main reason why people love driving stick is completely ignorant.
