  • Holy shit, these type of people are the worst. My narcissistic mother is like this. Constantly asking for guidance for literally everything “grab me half a bulb of garlic” “how much is half?”. Then afterwards blaming you for giving her such a complicated task, and goes on and on about how the way you work is sooooo backwards, and that if she just did everything herself it’d be sooooo much simpler (she says as the dissects the garlic clove by clove, weighing each one as she gets the closest possible value to half the total weight).


  • It blurs the line of accountibility, and it provides the facade of super intelligence, leading to negligent use of it.

    AI cannot be held accountable. It physically can’t. You can’t criminally charge, fine, or imprison an algorithm. IBM reasons that because of this, it should not hold any position of management, or make major decisions autonomously.

    Despite that, we are constantly see being used in increasingly high stakes desicions, and advising of such. AI lawyers, politicians using it to communicate with their voters and “summarizing” their concerns, AI in HR management, AI professors (as well as professors using AI) and the list goes on. There is no recourse for malpractice in these scenarios, and allows bad actors to work with impunity. Nothing ever stopped anyone from spewing nonsense, that’s what freedom of speech is for, but the reputation of such peoples would be tarnished, theyd become outcasts in their field, and their writings disregarded. AI blurs that once again.

    Closely related to the issue of liability, is the negligent use of AI. If someone wanted to create misinformation, they had to have malicious intent. Now, out of pure laziness, or profit driven desire, most content has become AI. With all of it its hallucinations and delusions included. Because AI training data now includes AI content, these delusions cause the model to become “inbred” which cause it repeat its own lies, until its regurgitated as fact.

    This in turns causes a death of truth, and all profesions who hinge on providing the truth. Journalists, researches, scientists, publishers and writers of academic journals, as well as small communities of hobbyists, being drowned in misinformation about their own niche craft. It destroys and buries real, truthful and productive conversation, while hindering all intellectual progress.

    Its existence is a fantasy for anti-intellectual actors, which include government, and large corporate entities who’s greatest enemy is a well informed, and educated public.






  • Yea this is something I’m dealing with as a self employed young adult now. Its genuinely getting on my nerves when friends in college or younger complaining about being super bored and saying “there’s nothing to do!!”.

    There are certainly times I don’t want to do anything but I never have the opportunity of being “bored”



  • Yeah flat heads are terrible. They are always the reason if I get injured by my screwdriver.

    Firstly, theres no geometry preventing the bit from slipping out. Secondly, greatly exacerbating the first, you need to press hard to prevent the bit from camming out, which increases the risk of it slipping out.

    Both problems combined causes the bit to slip out with very high force. If you happen to be holding the workpiece, you can injure yourself real bad.

    I fucking hate flatheads.




  • Depends if the achievements are good. A boring and bad achievment is something that is simply tedious, and isn’t hard. Like jumping in a specific spot 200 times. That’s stupid as hell.

    I think a good achievement is “beat level without X ability”. Something that forces you to adapt and change your playstyle.

    I also don’t think games should have hundreds or THOUSANDS of achievements, cause accomplishisng any of them feels like pissing in the wind.

    Id much rather have 50 super difficult achievements, so each one feels impactful and rewarding.


  • What else do you expect him to do that will make an ACTUAL change? You HAVE to make some concessions when collaborating with large entities, and I think we are lucky that Louis can stay true to all of his beliefs with a large backing like FUTO, even if they aren’t perfect.

    I feel like I’ve seen stories like this before, how a popular YouTuber, or advocate isn’t “perfect”. People in the comments provide a “perfect” alternative, they are usually super niche and super underground. Certainly someone that hasn’t yet had the chance to come under the same amount of scrutiny.

    We need to be a little compromising to avoid cannibalizing our movement to achieve “purity” of our ideals, while corps continue to take ground. My two cents. Stop the bleeding first, before you worry about scars.

    Responsibility also lies the people. We have no respect for our belongings, frequently trash working tools, computers and other goods. Replace the old with new, for the sake of keeping up with the times. Even cheap knives and other edged tools can be sharpened thousands of times before requiring replacement. Most are never sharpened at all.

    The classic tale of a dining table made to last for generations, paid for by the father, be tossed by the son for something made by Ikea. As a woodworker, ive seen firsthand that the biggest killer of fine, handmade furniture.

    It isn’t time, it’s us.


  • I would say I am now. I wasnt a few years ago but after roe v wade being overturned, the subsequent shitshows, as well has government powercreep against rights I believe women should yield, turned me into a feminist. There are obviously issues that men face, but I believe women are most at risk of oppression under this current administration. Especially with how frequently the blatant fascist dog whistle of “traditional family values” is blown nowadays. Republicans are desperately trying to cram women back into the kitchen and domestic servitude.
