Comment I wish it was easier to click the title bar (Score 3, Interesting) 137

At least on macOS, I've increasingly wished I could click the title bar without worrying I am clicking some arbitrary button. Originally title bars intentionally had dead areas so you could easily throw them around. While a compact mode is nice, I feel like it potentially makes this problem worse.

I miss Linux where I could use sloppy focus and disable click to raise so this was a non-issue, but I have been pulled into the mac ecosystem for a while now..

I've considered donating $5 a month to Firefox to suppor the browser, but the only options i see seem to support AI. In japan, you can't pay for relay or the vpn. There is the Mozilla Foundation you can donate to. There is also the option of paying for the MDN pro. As much as people like to pick on FF, people need money to eat and live.

While the AI companies are punching people in the face, these same people being punched are still behaving like they are interacting with a rational actor. It's time to stop believing that saying, "Please, Stop!" will have any useful effect. If more people said, "Kill Sam Altman!" I think we would see more social progress on this devil.

Comment 80% and nonusers still have to foot the bill? (Score 3, Interesting) 90

You can't reasonably double revenue infinitely. At some point gravity takes effect.

Us non AI users have to pay increased electrical, increased water, and increased computer prices among many other induced problems. These fuckers are why you are seeing less physical switch games as an example

And despite the increased costs for non users, which is never calculated like how inflation is, THE NEED MORE MONEY?

If more people said, Kill Sam Altman, I think we would see more social progress on this devil.

Comment AI makes life worse for those not using it (Score 3, Interesting) 59

AI makes life worse for those not using it. I get bot checks everywhere. I see fake articles I need to back out of all of the time. I have to question if the photos I receive from loved ones are actual real events. For those who are creative, AI ignores out licenses, steals our work, and trains peons to spout the holy word that we are no longer needed.

I only see this topic becoming more volatile in the future. AI had drowned common sense in the way where the person who is punching others in the face is surprised when they are punched back. We have a fucking right and obligation to be angry.

The only way I see things getting less heated is when we start seeing the severed heads of some of the AI leaders. We are that fucking angry and I do not make up a trivially small group.

Hear me out. When we get this kind of reporting on Bitcoin it leads to the the capitalist tragedy of the commons.

For the energy costs of bitcoin, it would be great to get updates on how much it is shifting us over the 1.5C target for global warming. Actual numbers. Something concrete we can tell our children... like where they are going to need to move in 20 years.

Now of course it is possible to fudge this kind of information. For example, if all bitcoin mining is moved to solar, it takes away solar for other energy uses. Y'know, for things like AI.

There is something in the air. While the current president is doing his best to push AI stocks, I think the general population will continue to grow more and more discontent in AI. If there are no proper "NO-AI" candidates in the next elections, there is going to be a section of the population voting for the candidate they thing will hurt the US the most.

I know I am personally pissed that my work is being stolen from me and is being used by the lay man to tell me what I do has no value. Why the fuck wouldn't I be pissed off? If you are for AI, why do you think I don't have a right to be pissed off by your behavior? I mean... you put some of the hacks into the AI models to remove the guards and YOU FUCKING GET MY WORK AS IS.

Comment Like a bunch of boys playing chicken (Score 1) 118

Even a bunch of punks progressively playing chicken more and more dangerously eventually have someone say, "Hey guys, this might be a bad idea." AI companies have progressively done less and less ethical things to this point... it's not like these are saints.

They fucked the environment. They fucked people's copyright. They fucked the people living next to the hyper scalers. They are about the fuck the economy.

Having your own software on your own computers hacking into private servers is a great place to chicken out. Die in hell fuckers. Take the people who spew your AI holy word that "AI made your work unneeded because we stole it ignoring copyright. It doesn't matter if the AI model recreates the work word for word. Long live Napster.""

Comment I used to think that AI doesn't use much energy (Score 1) 132

Before I start my usual AI complains, I want to say that the key to saving the planet other than reducing the population is reducing the resources we use. We have a lot of virtue signaling with things like electric vehicles. We have also had great efficiency gains.

However the rule of capitalism and consumerism is anything unused is wasted.

Yeah, we have a lot of solar power now. Great. But with that "free" energy we have growing ways to always offset it. Bitcoin. AI. AI in particular in that a single query uses a second of a lightbulb bring turned on... Fuckers decided with vibe coding and spec driven coding to make multiple versions of a mockup using expensive models in a loop. Stupid amounts of energy in new devine ways where capitalism rewards it.. Let's just turn on all of the heaters in NYC during winter with all of the doors and windows open while we're at it./p>

Until there are some laws the raping continues. There is no private data. There is no accountability. I have no reason to believe either political party is accountable based off of previous actions. (If you are a Republican you are talking about the stock market, if you are a Democrat you are bringing dead gun "back to life" gun victims in some maximally perverse way.
