and it lets me speak about my deep thoughts without going crazy or bothering people who won’t care or understand about the topic at hand

Be careful about that, there should be zero privacy expectations when using these things so don’t say anything you wouldn’t want the fed assigned to you to read.

What made you think he was anything other than that? When I was watching his videos I was always imagining the blandest most middle class white guy imaginable.

I think overusing AI is bad always 100% of the time and honestly what the Bun people did was insane but I think this is just a case of a language author being salty people are dropping their project.

Zig is basically C with a few more bells and whistles, of course you’re going to fall into many of the pitfalls that C has. Yelling “you’re holding it wrong” is not a convincing argument in 2026 when languages with much better design choices exist.

This actually kinda sorta exists in most EU countries, most public schools organize some kind of extracurricular activities for kids and since cities are generally walkable-ish kids can gather in local parks and whatnot easily. It’s far from perfect but it kinda exists.

This is of course thanks to social policies from the mid 20th century which are being eroded slowly across the EU.

All that said this policy proposal is clearly not really about kids but rather about enhancing tracking capabilities in general.

I’m not a ameroid so I’m not super familiar but why is this decrepit ghoul so important? Why does it matter so much if he’s dead or not?

What are you on about? It’s not about making people change, it’s about filtering out at least the very low effort scammers.

“drop into REM sleep in the middle of the ocean until you’ve circled down to a depth of 1500m and then hunt while ascending.”

Damn that’s metal as fuck.

I’ve read a theory somewhere that Neil was abandoned by his mother at some point and has no other seals to hang around with, that’s what’s causing this behavior. So it’s pretty unlikely he’s gonna stop with this and he’s probably gonna get more aggressive once the hormones kick in and yeah like you said problems will occur at some point, it’s actually kind of sad, I don’t think Neil has a bright future unless some sanctuary takes him in or something.

Aren’t these things a hell to maintain tho? I’d imagine the wear and tear on all the gears, cables and whatnot is gonna be insane.

It’s pretty cool if they were able to make these actually practical.

The CPC doesn’t want you to know that The Long March happened because Mao forgot the lighter for his cigs.

Ah fuck, are there any decent alternatives? I know no VPN CEO is going to be the most amazing person but can they at least be a meek liberal or something?

I know I was just memeing, I don’t actually want songbirds to be killed off.

Mao was onto something with the sparrows.

Eh I’ve stuck with shittier shows tbh, it’s alright slop to pass the time, it’s not like there’s an abundance of extremely high quality films and TV shows nowadays.

Capolitburo.

Can’t comment on this particular case I honestly can’t be bothered to look into it more deeply but I’ve found in general lots of western leftists have huge fucking egos and a lack of self awareness. In my local orgs relatively minor disagreements tend to escalate into huge arguments and even splits.

I’m not saying we should do the liberal decorum bullshit where everybody bends over backwards trying to negotiate a magical “middle way”, just that a lot of people on the left would do well to learn some self restraint and realize how deeply unserious shit like this looks to onlookers, most of which you want to eventually be on your side. Literally nobody that’s not already invested into radical leftist politics (which is to begin with a tiny number of people) is going to read your grandiose diatribes about why you left a party even if we assume you’re objectively 100% correct all the time.

I’m also not saying all such splits are due to fragile egos but fuck me if a good chunk of them aren’t.

we realize the “AI companies” have been implementing bandaid after bandaid to try and compensate for fundamental lacks in the technology itself

You could argue in the same way that car safety technologies are “bandaid after bandaid to try and compensate for the fact that cars are fundamentally huge hunks of metal going really fast”.

It’s still almost entirely useless for coding (you know, if you care about long or even medium-term maintainability or security)

That’s just not true at all, you still need to do quite a bit of handholding and double checking it gets stuff right but it definitely can get medium-high complexity stuff right and overall it is a productivity boost.

It’s not a terrible show, the first few seasons have some funny moments mostly thanks to Steve Carell but the formula gets old fairly quickly as it usually does with these kinds of shows. It’s definitely highly overrated.

What’s even your point? Making AI art is easy therefore it couldn’t possible have any value for any purpose?

I’m a software engineer by trade, a discipline where AI is also heavily encroaching on and there’s a danger of my job being automated away too (I’m not completely convinced it will be automated away but let’s assume for the sake of argument it will). It’s also a job that used to take a lot of skill and even creativity.

Unlike lots of artists tho I understand this is the same historical process that happened time and time again and that there’s nothing inherently special about my labor that makes it exempt from this historical process.

I would support using AI for plenty of things, art included. Most commissioned art today isn’t exactly soul shaking stuff teeming with creativity and emotion, it’s corporate graphics, design templates, ads, assets for video games etc, I personally don’t have a problem with using AI for that the same way I don’t have a problem with my clothes being made with sewing machines.

As with everything else, the problem isn’t the technology it’s the economic system.

Also I don’t think many people are profiting off of copyrighted AI art directly unless it’s in service to those other things I mentioned.
