  • I don’t mind AI now that I’ve vastly lowered my expectations of what it can do, and am aware that “AI” isn’t actually real. An LLM might be useful in some situations where you can reasonably expect it to give a decent answer and where your task isn’t particularly important.

    Problem is, most of it is forced on you and is not privacy friendly.


  • Personal anecdote. My PC cost me £900 in 2017. I haven’t upgraded it since. I have saved a significant amount of money in that time that would otherwise have been spent on PlayStation Plus for the benefit of playing multiplayer and the general higher price of games.

    Even if you accept the argument that consoles are significantly cheaper in the first place, the point that PC ownership saves money in the long run is often overlooked.

    I’ve never owned as many games for as little cost as I do now.








  • I remember watching a documentary about North Korea and one of the guides was talking about how people in NK and Asia more broadly don’t necessarily want to live under the same liberal-democratic capitalist system that the west tries to impress on them.

    How arrogant are we to act like we have it all figured out and that countries outside of Europe and North America are backwards shitholes?
