I’m a somewhat old timer on the internet, I know free speech absolutists like Musk way too well. Free speech absolutism often includes “legalizing all recordings of crimes”, and not understanding why non-consensual porn is bad, thus a lot of them support real CSAM. They are also the reason why free speech nowadays has a bad name, as it mainly was for privileged people and their supporters, and often included “negative freedoms”, because criticism might force someone to self-censor, but of course not for them.

Is “OOMWOO” an onomatopoeia for a vacuum cleaner’s sounds?

How much you bet that it will be some cloud computing genAI slop?

Physical media bad, drive obstructs airflow from ULTRAGAMING WATERCOOLER 42069 and you can’t overclock to gain 0.00001fps in CALL OF ARMY 853048646 - WAR IS PAIN, also drive would make laptop not ultrathin and elegant. /j just in case (I still have one in my desktop, and looking for one for my ThinkPad L440)

Killdozer needs to come back…

Not all heroes wear capes.

I saw great potential in streaming. Then physical media started to evaporate. Then everyone started to have their own streaming platform. Then came the ads.

By the time I could have afforded them, it got enshittified. Back to swashbuckling I guess.

How it will end:

Anyone trying to prosecute it will be fired, and then mysteriously doxxed.

Call me tinfoil hats, but likely it was done to chip regulations away. The techbros behind AI think any regulation is unneeded, because people are all rational actors, and bad stuff will be just boycotted, except they want to make boycotts illegal (today I’m also getting called “picky” for not liking Windows, etc.).

They know the moment Win10ESU ends, the year of the Linux Desktop begins. It’s already better for the most part, if only we had better debugging tools for Linux (GDB needs an actual GUI so badly, not just hack jobs on top of the CLI, often even DAB solutions are a bit underbaked).

Yes, but it’s AI, and Peter Thiel have bought all the politicians he could, so they will let them get away to “gain an advantage against China in AI”.

Deskilling, high water usage that often disrupts drought-prone areas, power usage, slop on the internet, designed to be as addictive as possible, etc…

That didn’t stop scalpers, do you think it would stop a savvy IT personnel?

If they did that, some companies would buy them for their offices. It can probably run Windows too.

Knowing Sam Altman, he might have a plateu of plans to keep the bubble from bursting. Him going will mean the bubble will have one week at top.

Godawful AI generated soap opera featuring anthropomorphic fruits.

This all so people can rot their brains out to fruit videos…

He starts to look more and more like the villain from East Asian movies…

Image generation has issues with JPEG artifacts, “music” generation has issues with MP3 artifacts, let’s make their generators even more broken!

Unfortunately, we might see the end of that soon…
