- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 6 days ago:
A major problem with the “AI” grift is that it spawns so many dependent grifts like this one. “Science” under capitalism is not actually science.

- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 week ago:
Wait until you hear what empire is doing with facial recognition in palestine, etc…
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 week ago:
Are you talking about ICE? Yes, they have attacked many non-combatants and ruined many lives.
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 week ago:
Yes, the “AI” grift is annoying and completely untrustable.
As usual, there’s zero “AI” involved here.
It’s just facial recognition. Just more statistics on data.
- Comment on An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks 1 week ago:
As usual there’s no “AI” involved at all. Just statistics on data. The nonstop grifting is further eroding the already destroyed credibility of mainstream journalism.
- Comment on New AI model predicts which genetic mutations truly drive disease 1 week ago:
And yet no “AI” exists here. Even “machine learning” is a stretch. It’s just statistical analysis on data.
All this his “AI” hype is undermining the credibility of apparently valid research.
- Comment on Microsoft AI launches its first in-house models 1 week ago:
Wow the whole world is going to be revolutionized! Will this AI destroy the planet? Or save humanity? Only time will tell!!!

- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 1 week ago:
Deified lemmings jump from one capitalist master to another.
- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s why science is such a failure. There’s no actual progress in forcing information behind paywalls, etc. This is a major part of how/why science is used for the profits of the few at the expense of violence, planetary destruction, etc. for everyone else.
- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 1 week ago:
it works.
You should check out the planet sometime.
- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 1 week ago:
Of all people I’d expect scientists to have learned the lesson of Twitter and embrace fediverse
“Scientist” is just another job. The people who work these jobs are no magic. Many are not even scientists in any meaningful sense.

A hacker used
AIa search engine to automate an ‘unprecedented’ cybercrime spree, Anthropic says - Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 3 weeks ago:
Ha yeah. The “AI” grift is a foundation for other grifts.
- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 3 weeks ago:
Open social media is fine. Capitalism can’t be fixed.
- Comment on A corporate recruiter in Toronto who spent 3 weeks convinced by ChatGPT that he was essentially Tony Stark from Iron Man, agreed to share his transcript after breaking free of the delusion. 4 weeks ago:
Ofc the NYTimes feeds into the “AI” grift with this anthropomorphic BS.
Computers don’t have “delusions”. They make statistical computations on data from the internet that have no inherent relationship to facts, reality, etc. Thus they’re untrustable and unreliable.
- Comment on To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model 1 month ago:
When you’re a publication based entirely on brainwashed capitalist pseuod-science… every problem is solved by more capitalism.
- Comment on AI is learning to lie, scheme, and threaten its creators during stress-testing scenarios 2 months ago:
This is not just hallucinations.
Definitely not. Computers don’t hallucinate.
There’s a very strategic kind of deception.
If that’s what it’s programmed do, then sure.
- Comment on US | Pentagon may put SpaceX at the center of a sensor-to-shooter targeting network 2 months ago:
So you’re saying that capital and the state collaborated in order to build some phony BS that’s ultimately just another tool of violent control?
I’m SHOCKED! \s
- Comment on Meta's Llama 3.1 can recall 42 percent of the first Harry Potter book 2 months ago:
Wow an “AI” can remember a whole 42% of Harry Potter?!?!?!
My computer can remember the whole thing with this one weird trick! It’s called a hard drive.
- Comment on Confirmed - China bans NVIDIA chips and accelerates its total independence from US technology 2 months ago:
What does “confirmed” mean? How? This seems to be the only article saying this.
Most other articles say that Trump banned Nvidia from exporting to China.
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 months ago:
The only time the government is willing to spend money on space exploration ( or anything for that matter) is if they are trying to play a game of “Im better then you” with other nations.
Perhaps a more important motivation is threatening the entire planet with doomsday.
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 months ago:
It is far better to dismantle these dumb grifts than to nationalize them.
- Comment on [Opinion] We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 months ago:
We Should Immediately
NationalizeDismantle SpaceX and StarlinkThere’s nothing to be gained from continuing these military grifts.
- Comment on TikTok fails to address risks to children and young people's mental health despite past warnings 3 months ago:
This is fairly biased propaganda. The most obvious signs are the focus on TikTok (instead of social media) and the focus on “simulated” 13yos instead of humans in general.
Amnesty should stick with actual human rights, etc. rather than pseudo-science, sinophobia, and save-the-children hysteria.
- Comment on A 25-Year-Old Is Writing Backdoors Into The Treasury’s $6 Trillion Payment System. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 6 months ago:
The “wealth” of empire is in petrol-dollars, saudi tyrants, environmental destruction, international exploitation, endless violence, etc.
- Comment on A 25-Year-Old Is Writing Backdoors Into The Treasury’s $6 Trillion Payment System. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 6 months ago:
I think the worst thing that could happen is capitalism continuing to function as “normal”.
