⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nike’s Air Max 1000 are almost entirely 3D-printed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
3D-printed shoes could be a great idea given how different everyone’s feet can be. It could save on transportation and logistical costs, and everyone could have shoes perfect for their feet, created much more locally than Vietnam.

However, the cynic in me says that’s not what Nike is doing, or why - they’re doing this because it lets them cut workers. Traditional shoe manufacturing involves human hands at many process steps, often with machine assistance or other tools. This lets them cut out all of those workers and all of that equipment in favor of one machine that makes an entire generic shoe for them to shove onto shelves next to all the other generic factory-made shoes. This is not the future.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I believe current understanding is that quantum shenanigans mean you can’t truly make a perfect quantum duplicate of something without destroying the original at the same time, so what you’re describing (destroying the original after making the copy) would only be possible for imperfect duplication - e.g. manufacturing a clone and syncing its memory with the original.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“So tired”: Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ prices increase by up to 25 percent in October⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Well, not free per se, DVDs and Blurays and the computer in my closet I use to host Jellyfin for the rest of the home do cost money… But they sure as hell can’t jack up the price after the fact. Quite the contrary; the hardware needed for it is getting cheaper over time. I can also use it even when the internet is down.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not about punishing him, it’s about keeping a clear threat to children away from them for as long as is necessary. Maybe he can be rehabilitated, but I’d rather start with lifelong separation from their means and targets and go from there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US man used AI to generate 13,000 child sexual abuse pictures, FBI alleges⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
He did more than generate it, he also sent some of it to a minor on Instagram, probably intending to get some real CSAM, or worse. For that, spending the next 70 years away from both children and computers seems appropriate to me.
