- Comment on Denmark: Union website deindexed by Google in the firm’s latest search experiment 2 days ago:
And nothing of that has anything to do with blocking the union’s website besides Google’s sheer incompetence.

Bribe. Zuckerberg gave Trump an one million dollars bribe.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
That’s not true in any big city. While the laws keep the landlord madness limited, real estate and rent prices are out of control because of speculation, and there are tons of horror stories to go around - and by experience, I would say they are even more common with individual landlords than with large companies, at least large companies don’t usually do anything obviously illegal and have less venues to make their tenants homeless.

You also call it hockey if it has no puck. The common element in all hockey variants is the stick.

Those lazy directors keep using props and trick shots.

And I bet he didn’t even use sharp swords for the fights /s

Yeah, but in monkeybrainish that all translates to “no large predators in sight”.

Being a direct spin-off of Discovery helped.
- Comment on Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem 2 months ago:
A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION
As IBM said in 1979, computers aren’t accountable, and I would go further and say they should never make any meaningful decision. The algorithm used doesn’t really make a difference. The sooner people understand that they are responsible for what they do with computers (like any other tool) the better.

Shouldn’t they do it while the COBOL people are alive to fix the code?

Isn’t that a major plot point of Matrix?
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Dev Addresses Criticism Over Aloy’s Remastered Look 2 months ago:
Is it just me, or the fabric in the the shirt look better in the old model? At least in that screenshot it looks more like something that was handmade Vs the remake model (look at the end of the sleeves for example)

- Comment on Annapurna Interactive has "splintered into two groups, both of which are now working to pick up the pieces" says new report 2 months ago:
A “tiny leadership team” is not a group, it’s a rotting carcass. Executive managers aren’t famous for doing any actual work.
The correct headline is people actually working in Annapurna Interactive packed up their stuff, leaving the parasites behind.
- Comment on Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way! 2 months ago:
And it required Hezbollah to have no concept of logistic security. Maybe Hamas is as amateurish as Hezbollah in that regard.
- Comment on Chemistry 2 months ago:
I don’t known why people malign the poor core so much. It killed way less people than it was designed to do.
- Comment on Anon explains the 2nd amendment 2 months ago:
Considering the observed behaviour of the self designated militias in the US, the army would only need to say that there’s a gathering of whatever group the militia opposes on main street and then gun down anyone that shows up in tactical gear. Even without the hyperbole, 2A people are too damaged by their desire to be in their personal action movie to be effective in any kind of war.
- Comment on Lionsgate Marketing Consultant Built Movie Trailer Filled With AI Generated Fake Movie Reviews Of Old Films 3 months ago:
Not a native speaker, but if I wanted to boil it down to a word I would use “made a trailer”. I think you are right about the algoritm confusing a movie trailer with a physical trailer.
- Comment on #StopKillingGames Update: Germany becomes 4th county to hit threshold 3 months ago:
If it reaches the threshold the European Comission is forced to formally answer to it, which requires them do a full review of the subject and this greatly increases the probability of something being done.

- Comment on Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI 6 months ago:
In my experience Software Engineers working in ML are, for the most part, also drinking their own Cool Aid, and need pushback from the rest of the company to keep them in check. So management also needs to know which smart people to listen to.

- Comment on Nvidia is now worth $102M per employee 6 months ago:
In Nvidia’s case that’s actually true for long tenured employees - assuming they cash out before the bubble bursts.
- Comment on Nvidia is now worth $102M per employee 6 months ago:
That is the most… American thing I read in months. Workers complaining about half decent work conditions. As a European, being harder to get hired than to get fired was always a given to me, and I believe that’s a good thing.
