- Comment on The BBC deepfaked Agatha Christie to teach a writing course 4 weeks ago:
It uses insights from the real Christie and is scripted by academics — so the actual content appears to be human-made and not generated from a model that’s been fed all of her work.
…but we slapped “AI” on it, because fucking AI has to be in EVERYTHING, them’s the rules! Would you also like to purchase AI enhanced toilet paper and AI raised cucumbers by the way?
Fucking hell, the AI bubble can’t burst fast enough, I’m so sick and tired of it…
- Comment on Former SIEA President Says Players Will Pay $80 For Switch 2 Games 1 month ago:
Some of them will, yes. There are people who would buy a bag of human feces for $80 if it had Nintendo’s logo on it. I, on the other hand, will definitely NOT pay eighty bucks for a game, Switch or otherwise. Theres is nothing a game could ever offer me to fork out that much cash for it.
- Comment on Samsung admits a bad software update has been bricking its soundbars 2 months ago:
But what if you want to remove some features that were already sold to users to put them behind a subscription? Or you fired your QA department because you can just sell buggy shit to users, have them find the bugs and fix (or not!) them later? Would someone please think of the poor business owners?!
- Comment on Digg founder Kevin Rose and Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian buy Digg for an undisclosed sum from Money Group, aiming to focus on “connection and humanity” online. 2 months ago:
Inb4 it turns out they bought it to promote an AI that specializes in connection and humanity…
What, me, bitter? Naaaw, what makes you think so?
- Comment on Palantir CEO Sures Seems Pleased His Tech Is Capable Of Getting People Killed 3 months ago:
People like him “love disruption” only if it’s them doing the disrupring. Some eggs have to be broken to make an omelet, but not their eggs. But the millisecond someone else disrupts or breaks their shit (which clearly shows it wasn’t working properly, right?), they’ll whine, get mad, sue, involve the government, protest and cry - because suddenly disruption and sacrifice and rolling heads are not as much fun anymore…
