@GaryMarcus I can say that about you. I can't see in your head, I can only go off your behavior and what comes out of your mouth

@spinelessaisha Cause it breaks constantly and is an inconsistent experience. Chocolatey for all it's flaws is more dependable

windows users need to start using winget more, for a linux user it might seem like a whatever packagae manager but damn having a cli package manager is so good, the fact that windows has one and people dont use it is kinda sad

Honest question.
We spent decades writing free Open Source code because we thought we were "helping the community."
Turns out we were just providing free training data for the exact AI models that are currently replacing us.
What is the actual incentive for a human being to write free open-source code in 2026?

@SaraGonzalesTX A chick called Gonzales complaining about foreign languages was not on my 2026 bingo card. If God existed after that comment they'd send 4 meteors just to make sure not even a single molecule of this shit pebble remains

@wil_da_beast630 It’s painfully apparent reading their comments on this site over the last few days.
Watching teachers with advanced education degrees struggle with basic concepts and minor nuance.
It’s also painfully apparent how bitter and hateful many of them are.

@Essam_Soft @Eyaaaad Your head is soft if you think that's not a solved problem by people who's monthly salary is your yearly.

@Eyaaaad قرار سخيف ، هذا يعني الاستغناء عن معيار IP68 لمقاومة الماء والغبار .. واذا قامت الشركات بدعم هذا المعيار فهذا سيرفع من قيمة الجهاز بسبب التعقيد الهندسي في تصميم الاجهزه.

@OfficialBTSM If AI slop moves me like Wagner one day then it's over for you guys
English

Well it happened, just like I predicted. Last year I started warning people that if musicians kept using AI slop for their artworks and if no regulations were put in place to protect human artists, people would also stop truly caring who makes the music they listen to. Not because AI slop is better than human made music, but simply because AI can invade streaming platforms and social media at an infernal rate. About 40 to 50% of all music distributed per day on streaming platforms is now made with AI. People told me « you’re freaking out, people don’t care about AI music, the plays will never be high on AI gen music » …. WELL the current #1 song on US and global iTunes is AI generated. That song has taken over social media trends, and because nothing has been done to prevent AI slop to enter charts, this song is about to explode. I don’t care what it sounds like, I don’t care if it’s « good » because AI music steals from other artists. But corporations are slow to adjust because they mostly care about money. We need laws quick, and if we can’t find a way to ban AI from the arts, we at least need official certifications that clearly state when the music uses AI, and it needs to happen fast. You might think I’m exaggerating, I’m not. Human made art is crucial in so many ways to keep our foundations alive. I know some of you don’t care about stuff like this, but it’s time to care. It’s time to think about the long term impacts this will have on all of us. Thanks for reading all of this (your attention span is not f*cked yet it seems 😅).

@Sodalug @LVpolitic That's nonsense. Please don't charge your phone when it dies.
I love the confident incorrectness you woke up with.

@LVpolitic Frozen pizza didn’t get better, pizzerias all got worse. Because they all serve, wait for it: frozen pizza. Generally all you’re doing ordering takeout pizza is paying someone else to warm up a frozen pie.

@CalmCoding @HackingDave Same reason colleges and schools scrape data from text books and papers. You guys level on denseness is staggering

@HackingDave Why were the labs allowed to scrape all the copyrighted data on the internet?
English

Of course. If you understand how LLMs work, they don’t think in traditional terms and are regurgitating human knowledge.
One of the largest thefts of intellectual property and plagiarism in human history.
Still incredible tech and has massive implications on innovation, but as far as gaining consciousness- negative.
ℏεsam@Hesamation
Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years. "Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."
English

@HackingDave My point always is, considering the vast difference in humans. Mouth breathers to God like geniuses, if I have a system that fits somewhere in the middle it's as conscious as it needs to be.

@ronnieschaniel @marcportermagee I'm in a career, I don't need connections nor whatever the fuck you think "signal" is.
Give me work, judge it to see if I understand then let me get on with my fucking life
English

@marcportermagee There are three things that matter during university. Forming your thinking, gaining the signal and building connections.
Not all of that can be down in 3 months. Which consequently reduces the value of such high speed degrees.

@Tyras_Mikhail Who reads ign ? They're useful for stockpiling game trailers but for actual content?
Find a picture of a dead donkey in the mud and look at that instead
English

The IGN review of Mouse PI For Hire is like a parody of game journalists. They gave the game a 6/10 (reminder that they gave Black Ops 7 a 7/10) for the following reasons:
-Too many cheese references (in a world of mice)
-You kill too many people (yes, really. You kill people in a shooter, what a surprise)
-There isn't enough noir (in a game inspired by 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoons)
-Too many references to old movies (in a game explicitly inspired by 1930s cinema)
-There's too many arenas where you have to kill all enemies (in a fucking boomer shooter)
-The game's story is not serious enough to be a true noir (when did the fucking game ever CLAIM to be a true noir? It's a fucking cartoon)
This motherfucker seriously looked at a satirical game inspired by 1930s Mickey Mouse cartoons and expected to play LA Noire or some shit. Games journalists are not real people, man.

Why is there this obsession of running everything through a hyper realism filter?
What if I like animation? What if I don't want every single thing produced from now on to try and mimic live action with bad CGI graphics?

@MaciejExists @neolatyno Rubbish. Did your education stop at "see jack, see jack run".
I have many water proof devices with compartments and batteries.
English

@neolatyno #EU forcing user-replaceable batteries is great on paper… until you realize it means phones will once again be easily destroyed by water and moisture. Say goodbye to real IP68 sealing.
English

🇪🇺| Europe will require all mobile phones to be sold with user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries starting 2027.
The regulation demands the availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence.
As per the USB-C ruling, Europe is a giant that can change markets to put European consumers’ needs first.

English

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.
4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.
8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.
16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.
17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.
18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.
19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.
20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.
22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
