  Why does anybody still even use Twitter outside of business related reasons? What if you get a stalker? If you block them it literally doesn’t do anything to stop them.

  Did we learn nothing from Skynet?

  For real though, with the amount of mistakes AI makes I wouldn’t trust it with anything concerning life and death. Best case it will decide to do something shady and worst case they can use it as an excuse to do something shady and blame it on AI to avoid liability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google tests showing full recipes right in search results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, whenever I use Google these days I just scroll down all the way and work my way up. It’s basically subconscious at this point and it’s surprisingly helpful. Makes Google actually useful again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨London Newspaper Plans to Revive Dead Art Critic With AI, Lays Off Real Writers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I don’t really give a shit about what an AI thinks about art. If I wanted a second opinion on something I’d probably ask something that can actually have an opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium subscribers are reporting price hikes around the globe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do creators make money from people that watch that have premium? That’s the only way I’d consider it.

  Who am I kidding, even if they do it’s probably pennies. That’s why they all have a Patreon and a sponsorship on every video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modders negate God of War Ragnarök PSN requirement after a brief review bombing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you didn’t put PSN on a single player game you wouldn’t have this happen. I was gonna buy it day one until I heard. Instead, I’m just focusing on my backlog that’s been piling up and I’ll just get it when it’s on sale

  Also remember that PSN isn’t available in all countries. So if you’re in one of those 100+ countries you can’t even play it if you buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook and Instagram are making AI labels less prominent on edited content⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So instead of fixing the issue it had with mislabeling posts as AI they’re just gonna hide it. Sounds like an awful solution and will only cause more confusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord lowers free upload limit to 10MB: “Storage management is expensive”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you didn’t charge so much fucking money for Nitro maybe people would actually buy it. $10 a month is a little silly when you barely get anything new from it besides features that I can only describe as “bragging rights.” The only benefit I ever received from Nitro was the increased upload limit. Which is nice, but not nice enough for me to keep paying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first Minecraft movie trailer looks expensively naff⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but what if it was just Jack Black chilling in a Minecraft world just doing Minecraft things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first Minecraft movie trailer looks expensively naff⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was just Jack Black in a Minecraft world I’d honestly be down. That just sounds like stupid fun. But this looks awful. Like, original original Sonic trailer awful. And it looks like it takes itself entirely too seriously. It’s fucking Minecraft my dudes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is taking Concord offline on September 6th after disastrous launch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, that’s rough. Regardless of your opinion on the game that’s a lot of hard work down the drain. I honestly feel bad for all the artists, musicians, programmers, and voice actors that put in years of work for it all to end like this. And we all know that Sony is going to fire pretty much everyone on the development team to recover costs. People that didn’t even have direct control over the direction of the game and were just doing their best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft 'temporarily' pumps the brakes on its intrusive Windows 11 ads after receiving constant backlash from Windows 10 users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like nobody wants to use your shitty OS or something. My work computer at the office has Windows 11 and I fucking hate it so much. From big stuff like Copilot and Microsoft Edge getting shoved down my throat, to small stuff like needing to change the registry to get a right click menu that isn’t dumbed down. And don’t even get me started on Office 365 or whatever the fuck it’s called that goes through a browser. There was no Internet at the office on Monday so I literally couldn’t do my job. Not to mention I can’t export an Excel sheet into all the different formats I need to.

  I have no idea what direction they think they are going, but if it’s productivity they are doing a terrible job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they can download and use our content without consent and for free, then we have every right to download and use their content without consent and for free. Corporations are just as much people as we are so I don’t see any problem with this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨subs > dubs⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To each their own. I understand that dubs obviously miss things in translation and it is a valid argument. Sometimes the voice acting is trash. But at the same time I’m not gonna be a dick to someone for enjoying the same thing I do but different. A friend of mine that has never watched anime before we met has recently gotten into it and he watches dubs. We still have a lot of fun talking about the shows and he asks for recommendations all the time. The barrier for anime is pretty high for people that have never seen it before and the biggest way to turn people off of it is to tell them what they enjoy is wrong.
