claaams··on Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms
This doesn’t paint the entire picture. Suicide rates peaked in 1990 and then declined to its lowest point in 2007 from there the rates started rising again.
claaams··on Goodbye to Sora
The tech was fine/interesting for what it is. The product itself is awful and something from nightmares. It's not an enjoyable experience for me watching some uncanny valley slop. I'm not impressed with the "creativity" of someone typing in a prompt and having a plagiarismbox spit something out. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of someone actually making something is what I like. The emotion and reasons behind a work of art make it inspiring. The details of their perspective and choices they make when creating it are beautiful and interesting.

The impact of easy AI generated video is a less certain and less secure world. You can't trust your eyes anymore because of how fast and easy it is to fake video and moments. You can't trust communications with someone because how easy it is to impersonate them over video and voice. Scams involving tools like this are already running rampant and it will only get worse. The sheer level of distrust these tools have unleashed into the world makes me wish they never existed. They have burned millions (billions?) of dollars on this when that money would have been better served going to the creators whose work they stole to build it. It's rotten.

claaams··on BYD is seeing a flood of new EV buyers
Extrapolate this into a forever war where oil is increasingly expensive week after week.
claaams··on Unsloth Studio
Will check back when there's AMD support.
claaams··on Data centers in space makes no sense
The benefit is to siphon US tax money into billionaire pockets. It's insanely obvious and this has been Musk's MO for like 15 years now. Hyperloop? That was a grift to stop public transit from expanding. Tesla robo-taxis? Still waiting. FSD? Still waiting. Everything he does is a monumental grift to make himself richer and more powerful. The man is a hollow shell of a human being and the only thing that makes him feel anything is more money and power.
claaams··on xAI joins SpaceX
In a way, its kind of cool to see how robber barons work in real time in our generation. Its also insanely depressing as they will systematically enshittify and extract as much wealth from society as is possible.
claaams··on Jack Kerouac's 37 metre-long, first draft scroll of On the Road to be auctioned
The billionaire who buys this will almost certainly not allow that kind of access. If its in a public archive its much easier to get that kind of access.
claaams··on Claude's new constitution
Go use grok if you want an AI model that would be in the Epstein files.
claaams··on Scott Adams has died
What did he mean when he said this well reasoned opinion?

“When a young male (let’s say 14 to 19) is a danger to himself and others, society gives the supporting family two options: 1. Watch people die. 2. Kill your own son. Those are your only options. I chose #1 and watched my stepson die. I was relieved he took no one else with him.”

“If you think there is a third choice, in which your wisdom and tough love, along with government services, ‘fixes’ that broken young man, you are living in a delusion. There are no other options. You have to either murder your own son or watch him die and maybe kill others.”

That’s surely from the calm rational mind of someone not filled with resentment and hate right?

claaams··on Scott Adams has died
He gave a tour of his house on YouTube a long time ago and on every tv in nearly every room he has Fox News playing.
claaams··on HP Reveals Keyboard Computer with Ryzen AI Chip
I want less microsoft/copilot in things, not more.

I don't know who this is for.

claaams··on 2026 will be my year of the Linux desktop
It takes ~5 seconds for activity monitor on my macbook pro to populate data, although the window for it opens right away.
claaams··on The Problem of Teaching Physics in Latin America (1963)
Its crazy he thinks that learning physics is the solution: I believe that in the improvement of the technical ability, thus the productivity, of the people of Latin America lies the source of real economic advancement.

and not the fact that the US has spent 150+ years destabilizing that part of the world.

claaams··on Microsoft Will Preload Windows 11 File Explorer to Fix Bad Performance
Surprised it’s not branded something like copilot 365 files (formerly explorer)
claaams··on Okta's NextJS-0auth troubles
Absolutely agree with this. There could be many, many reasons out of the named person's control, and that the author is not aware of, as to why this happened. It comes off as petty and arrogant and honestly the same attitude I expect from most people on hackernews. Overall its disappointing. Respect each others privacy.
claaams··on Okta's NextJS-0auth troubles
People calling it trash and then recommending microsoft was an even bigger shock to the point where I am not convinced that those aren't microsoft AI bots astroturfing this post.
claaams··on Okta's NextJS-0auth troubles
There also might be some corpo dystopian policy that is forcing them to use AI to do this task.
claaams··on Privacy Badger is a free browser extension made by EFF to stop spying
It's really (not) cool when I get personalized ads that imply my sexuality or medical conditions when I am sharing a twitch stream with colleagues or friends.
claaams··on Grok says its 'skeptical' about Holocaust death toll, blames 'programming error'
Is it a programming error when a CEO geeked out ketamine makes deliberate changes that happen to coincide with his beliefs?
claaams··on Intel’s board, and an example of when boards and short-termism fail
By asking musk to step in are you talking about having him make the company worth 10% of what it’s worth now?
claaams··on US house prices in 1950 vs. 2024, accounting for inflation
Signs of a healthy economy and growing middle class!!
claaams··on Kim Dotcom Suffers Stroke
Yeah when he started simping for elon musk I do not care what befalls him. Mega was good for piracy back in the day, and maybe still is today.
claaams··on Tuberculosis is rising in the U.S. again. How did we get here?
Its cool that so many people are blaming immigrants and foreign policy and border policy instead of the lack of accessibility to healthcare and affordable treatments or accessibility to preventative care.

We truly are in the fuck you and it’s your fault I don’t have mine era.

claaams··on Waymo One is now open to everyone in San Francisco
With Elon, these types of massive changes are always just a year or two away and somehow never come or are not delivered as promised. They're bullish because it makes the stock price go up.
claaams··on My thoughts on Python in Excel
That workflow sounds so painful. Why not get a BI tool that can integrate directly into your data warehouse and do reporting through that?
claaams··on All US Teslas getting 1 month FSD trial this week
How they haven't been legally forced to call it something other than Full Self Driving is a massive failure by any regulatory board in the US.
claaams··on Man spoofs threatening texts from ex-gf, gets her jailed multiple times (2020)

claaams··on Meta is blocking EU-based users from accessing Threads via VPN
The interface and user experience of threads is pretty awful so it also does a good job of being boring and painful enough that you won't want to use it.
claaams··on San Francisco office values fall
New York has solved this by keeping the offices valued at the same price but just letting them sit empty.
claaams··on SpaceX Starship Grounded Indefinitely by FAA
You wouldn't know that from the way elmo has branded himself.
