  • You went through my comment history and quoted me, to just not read the whole quote.

    Here, I’ll help you:

    It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

    As I said, there are already 3 top comments explaining to you why you’re being downvoted. I don’t need to explain myself when I mostly agree with them, I just upvote them.

    If everyone had to explain every downvote, we would have hundreds of comments on each post, and most of them would say the same thing.



  • I never used them. AI is shit, and they’re still at the “burning money” stage, wait 2-3 years and they’ll enter the enshittification stage, where it will be even worse.

    Plenty of times I’ve seen coworkers stuck at the same problem for hours. Until they come and ask for help and I give them a simple answer for their simple problem. Every time it is “well, I asked the AI and it said this thing and it didn’t work, so I asked it to fix it and it didn’t either, a bunch of times.”. I just tell them “you’re surrounded by a lot of people here that know a lot about programming, why don’t you ask any of them?”.

    For real, why use an AI at work where you are surrounded by people that can actually answer your question? It just makes no sense. Leave AI to those that can’t pay an artist for their game. Or to those that have a “game design idea that will change the world” but won’t pay a programmer even if they can’t program themselves.



  • Nah. Trump alone cannot drag down the reputation of the whole country. The reason we hate america more now is because trump is so openly corrupt, that we can see how corrupt his buddies are too. And his buddies are the ones that run america.

    The entire GOP is doing everything it can to protect trump from any legal consequences. All the big tech companies openly bribe him to get away with the shit they do. His voters are no longer ashamed of the racist and fascist shit that come out their mouths. Pete hegseth and Co. brag about how much they hate their “freeloading” allies.

    Bringing down the reputation of America is a team effort. You cannot just throw trump under the bus.


  • Well yes, the LLMs are not the ones that actually generate the images. They basically act as a translator between the image generator and the human text input. Well, just the tokenizer probably. But that’s beside the point. Both LLMs and image generators are generative AI. And have similar mechanisms. They both can create never-before seen content by mixing things it has “seen”.

    I’m not claiming that they didn’t use CSAM to train their models. I’m just saying that’s this is not definitive proof of it.

    It’s like claiming that you’re a good mathematician because you can calculate 2+2. Good mathematicians can do that, but so can bad mathematicians.




  • The wine thing could prove me wrong if someone could answer my question.

    But I don’t think my theory is that wild. LLMs can interpolate, and that is a fact. You can ask it to make a bear with duck hands and it will do it. I’ve seen images on the internet of things similar to that generated by LLMs.

    Who is to say interpolating nude children from regular children+nude adults is too wild?

    Furthermore, you don’t need CSAM for photos of nude children.

    Children are nude at beaches all the time, there probably are many photos on the internet where there are nude children in the background of beach photos. That would probably help the LLM.

    Well. Doing everything costs energy.

    If you only display hours and minutes, you only need to redraw the clock every minute. If you display the seconds, you have to redraw every second.

    And redrawing is not just changing some pixels. The Os scheduler has to wake up the process, put another to sleep. And all of that costs power.

    Yes, the clock in the taskbar probably uses less power in an hour than watching a YouTube video will consume in a second.

    But it is still a 60x increase in power usage.

    This warning is actually a good thing. It means whoever implemented the seconds in the taskbar clock actually has the right mindset for developing an operating system. You don’t use a JavaScript framework to develop the start menu because “all the juniors come from JavaScript boot camps so it’s cheap to hire” you want someone that knows that the OS’ job is to provide a strong base layer that uses little resources so great things can be built on top of it.

    Of all the things you could complain about windows, you chose to do it about the actually good ones, when you could go instead for the “30% vibe coded” codebase with a JavaScript UI that can’t even implement a “power off” button.


  • Well, according to what I read on the internet, everything works out of the box for Linux and this year is the year of the Linux desktop. But according to personal experience and most of the people I know IRL, there is always someone that spent last weekend fixing some weird thing that doesn’t work on their system in Linux that used to work correctly when they used windows instead.
