bulbosaur123··on The English Paradox: Four decades of life and language in Japan
I will get downvoted and hated for what I'm going to say.

What's with the west's pathalogical obsession with Japan and Japanese?

Is anime & JAV to blame here?

Look, you have Chinese spoken by 1.35 billion people. Foreigners who speak Chinese are way more rare than those who speak Japanese, therefore making it a more valuable language to acquire for business, diplomacy and travel. China is the new emerging superpower.

Yet people will obsessively focus on Japan? At this point it starts to seem like NPC behavior.

What's wrong with being shady? Morals are a meme
bulbosaur123··on How to succeed in MrBeast production (Leaked PDF)

Right, and where is the problem with that again?

bulbosaur123··on Billiards is a good game (1975)
It's fine. Stop seeing race, ethnicity everywhere. Just be more chill and not get triggered by everything, we don't have to police language. People should be able to say whatever they want
bulbosaur123··on OpenAI o1 Results on ARC-AGI-Pub
Ok, I have a practical question. How do I use this o1 thing to view codebase for my game app and then simply add new features based on my prompts? Is it possible rn? How?

bulbosaur123··on Artificial intelligence is losing hype
> I feel like I'm living in a different universe sometimes. The consensus on HN seems to be that you can be pretty productive with LLMs as coding assistants, but every time I try I find it borderline impossible to get functional code even for pretty straightforward prompts.

Same, it can't even fix an xcode memory leak bug in a simple app. It will keep trying and breaking it non-stop. Garbage

Same way mobile phones are losing their hype...they've become ubiquitous
bulbosaur123··on Procreate's anti-AI pledge attracts praise from digital creatives

bulbosaur123··on Online Dating
No, I didn't mean that. I meant being a normal man. Average = unnatractive to women in 2024. Just the way it is.
bulbosaur123··on Kim Dotcom's extradition to the U.S. given green light by New Zealand
> I think it's clear for everybody that one cannot get away with this kind of stuff, once governments get involved.

Russia or China wouldn't have extradited him.

Also, he'd probably live a peaceful, wonderful life had he not flexed and talked shit on Twitter so much.

bulbosaur123··on Online Dating
Being a man in 2024 is a rather pathetic experience honestly. You constantly feel like a beggar in the dating market. How can you build self-esteem with that? No wonder so many men simply check out.

bulbosaur123··on The AI bullshit singularity

bulbosaur123··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
> Is that normal person behavior?

Normal people suck and are generally dumb as a brick (including me). Normal people don't extrapolate calamities and don't think ten steps ahead.
