- Comment on The first major update for Slay the Spire 2 is out now 1 day ago:
If 2026 is the year earth blows itself up, at least we reached enough technological complexity and cultural sophistication to produce Slay The Spire 2. The first Slay The Spire is the kind of game you can play for the rest of your life, it is the kind of game you would give an astronaut who had to sit in a capsule for 5 months waiting to get to another planet in order to keep themselves from going insane. The fact that humanity has now produced a SECOND Slay The Spire is a milestone that will be noted by alien architects of our ruins and we should feel good about that.

- Comment on The Internet's Most Powerful Archiving Tool Is in Peril 5 days ago:
Journalism is already dead if journalists cannot defend the archive service for their journalism from the pointless wrath of their own employers.
shrugs I mean I look forward to one day rebuilding these things when we finally have a chance but this is the end of the road for traditional news organizations on the internet.

- Comment on Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI? | Quanta Magazine 5 days ago:
What? Not what I am saying at all? Are you reading what I said?
I don’t put any faith in companies, my point is AI doeen’t work and we shouldn’t fear that part of it. No it won’t take all of our jobs, the reason there are no jobs is we are hurtling into a depression/recession not AI.
- Comment on Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI? | Quanta Magazine 5 days ago:
I don’t think you are reading my points close enough.
so, yeah, it’s perfectly understandable why a lot of people are less than optimistic about the technology and its future.
Nope not what I am disagreeing with, I am disagreeing with the logic of portraying AI repeatedly as genuinely scary. I am not questioning why people are not optimistic about AI.
- Comment on Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI? | Quanta Magazine 5 days ago:
Your argument explains why we would tell stories that reflect negatively on AI and the people who are obsessed with them, not why we would invoke AI as something we should fear because it actually works.
- Comment on Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI? | Quanta Magazine 5 days ago:
There is a difference between something being overhyped bullshit and something being a near apocalyptically powerful force for evil though.
- Comment on Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI? | Quanta Magazine 5 days ago:
Where is your proof of that? What does Occam’s Razor say here about all the overhyped end of the world claims AI people make?

- Comment on New Jersey has no right to ban Kalshi's prediction market, US appeals court rules 1 week ago:
Let the people gamble and do meth. Society and logic be damned.
Also as a leftist I want to point out that there is quite a similar in practice socialist stance to this.
The closest leftist equivalent is -> no matter what we say or how much control we enact over people, some will always gamble and do meth. Decorum and “political correctness” around drugs be damned, we cannot simply cast those people out of society and refuse to help them.
People will gamble and do meth, as leftists we must at a policy level make sure to include these people in our social safety nets and to mitigare harm when it does not take an unethical amount of agency away. We also cannot assume violently taking away drugs from people solves the problem nor that declaring something illegal abdicates our responsibility to witness suffering and try to make things better for everyone.
A leftist believes we should design society to be as kind and supportive to people as possible so that they fulfill their potential and desire to participate in society because of that sense of being valued and empowered.
- Comment on New Jersey has no right to ban Kalshi's prediction market, US appeals court rules 1 week ago:
Prediction markets are a different level entirely though, they are hostile to democracy at a basic level.
You cannot support unbounded prediction markets while supporting democracy, pick one.
- Comment on New Jersey has no right to ban Kalshi's prediction market, US appeals court rules 1 week ago:
I think gambling needs to be at a minimum heavily regulated, it is literally a direct method of transfer of wealth to the ruling class.
Gambling and sports betting is spreading and destroying people’s lives like a pandemic. We have no choice but to mitigate it.

- Comment on Disney's Sora Disaster Shows AI Will Not Revolutionize Hollywood 1 week ago:
I know that is what tech companies think will happen, but it massively misunderstands the role of a search engine as an input into any broad llm type tool.
Search engines are going nowhere, or rather if they die it is not because they were made irrelevant it is because of overconsolidation in the market (Google).

- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 1 week ago:
I remember seeing someone play a Steam Deck in an airport awhile ago and the 3D game had a HORRIBLE frame rate.
To the person playing to their credit they didn’t seem bothered but it made me think that a lot of people may have not really had the importance of framerate explained to them and what the relevant numbers are (film is 25, 30 is generally minimum for gamee and 60 is best).
Almost by definition we aren’t going to know those people but that is because if you are here you are probably a nerd, so this is good for all those blindspots.
- Comment on Disney's Sora Disaster Shows AI Will Not Revolutionize Hollywood 1 week ago:
you really used articles using search engine rankings to try and discredit AI
If I am speaking of relevance to a query, yes I am. Search Engine Rankings are the most widely distributed measure of practical relevance to people of content we have.
Actually everything I have provided helps build the case that people don’t want AI and AI isn’t used in a way by most people that actually brings revolutionary value.
