Source is the cavernous asshole he pulls all his comments out of

> More precisely, this way of emoting/thinking gets lousy populists elected, like Trump.

Yup, it's a troll.

If you’re still writing things like this you are stupid or willfully ignorant. All the boomers at work expose similar opinions and it’s because when the younger generation tries to explain why they feel this way, the boomers stick their fingers in their ears and start yelling.

You know a comment like this is an admission that I have a point, right?

If you truly, genuinely believe that someone making mean comments about AI online means their soul is inherently corrupted then you’re fucking stupid, I don’t know what else to say. Stop going online and go moisturize your soft hands, it will only get worse once you go beyond this thread.

EDIT: Holy shit, I didn’t even read your sibling comment, where you make vague hand gestures towards the anti-semitism and the Holocaust. Bravo, you got me I guess, because this has to be trolling, no human being is this fucking retarded.

Bwahaha, make me. And looking at your comment history, its not like you have anything valuable to say either, so consider stones, glass houses, etc.

Have you considered there’s a reason AI companies and their fans have attracted so much hate? Gosh, it couldn’t be anything they did or said, could it?

Vitriol is a natural human response to stupidity, injustice, and short-sightedness. I don’t owe you politeness because you said something stupid on the Internet.

It really, deeply hurts me that someone stupid enough to write this can probably vote.

Definitely not that

This is the third or fourth time today I’ve seen someone say “AI is just a tool” and it’s the most brain dead argument, I just simply can’t believe people think like this.

Guns, cars, knives, explosives, dangerous chemicals, etc. are all tools. They’re just inanimate things that have the potential for massive (potentially lethal) consequences. You can argue that malware or nuclear reactors or chainsaws are “just tools” and it doesn’t make them any less dangerous in the wrong hands.

People who say “Well AI is just a tool” are at best being pedantic, and at worst trying to recast valid concerns as fear mongering

I like both Jeff and Apple products, but this does seem a pretty ... odd ... thing to say within the context of his audience. A normal person wouldn't bat an eye but the kind of people watching Jeff Geerling videos will probably have some strong opinions about it

We get it, you think you’re better than everyone else

I am American, I have never visited Sweden but I have visited Norway. The taxes on normal everyday things like food were as high as 25% and everyone I talked to expressed interest in America, either visiting or living there. I only know one person who moved from America to a Nordic country (Denmark) and she complained that everyone was racist and that it took several months to get an appointment for a root canal, during that time she just had to live with severe pain. I have zero desire to live in any Nordic country.

> With health care being tax funded in regions, I dont want to pay for smokers bad health.

> 2nd - price hike on snacks, chips, nuts, chocolate, "pick n mix" candy, sugar candy

I love being proven right.

I think you might be missing the point I was trying to make

Those people were always lying, it was always about power dynamics. People hated DRM and surveillance because they saw it as punching down. People now hate AI wielded by corpos because they see it as punching down. Extremely few (if any) people ever bought into the “cyber-utopia” thing and now the mask has completely come off, everyone knows the Internet is a tool for subjugation

Natural consequence of socialized medicine. If I’m paying for your healthcare then I (and by extension the state) get a say in basically every aspect of your life.

Time to ban alcohol, marijuana, Tylenol, fatty foods, sugar, candles, campfires, fireworks, food coloring, bicycles, playgrounds, cars, cell phones, and anything else that might be harmful

It is malicious, and you shouldn’t be downvoted for calling out someone who is so obviously arguing in bad faith.

There was never any security risk, the flight data was and is public information. You should be able to say “men are not women” and also repost public data. Stop pretending Elon cares about free speech.

This reply is so astoundingly oblivious that I’m convinced you’re a troll, and a shitty one at that. No human can genuinely be this dumb.

Your topmost comment is being downvoted because you’re a green account just making up bullshit with zero supporting evidence

My understanding of brutalism is that it’s an extreme interpretation of “function over form”. The most brutalist laptop stand would be a cardboard box turned upside down, not a slightly impractical block of concrete carefully manufactured to evoke a certain aesthetic.

I listened to the Audible version and either I read a completely different book or the anti-memetic effects are real, because the main character in the article has a different name and the plot synopsis doesn’t seem to match up.

My short review would be: the book is very one-note, it’s like a horror movie that keeps doing the same jumpscare over and over again. Despite this I managed to enjoy it.

What a stupid thing to say. Are you suggesting America should let others attack their homeland for some reason?

I’m on Bazzite and I’m strongly considering switching back to Windows 11. Proton performance is just not as good as native. Games like Valve’s own Deadlock just run terribly on Proton and completely fine on Windows, using the same hardware. It’s a miracle that Proton works at all, but why compromise when I already have a Win11 license key?

> The industry is being redefined as we speak and everyone doing the push-back are pushing against themselves really.

No, they’re pushing back against a world full of even more mass surveillance, corporate oligarchy, mass unemployment, wanton spam, and global warming. It is absolutely in your personal best interest to hate AI.

Somewhat off topic, but I can’t believe someone got paid to write that article, what a load of crap. It’s like saying that fallacies don’t exist because sometimes people incorrectly claim the other side is arguing fallaciously.

If you go by the literal definition in the article, it’s very clear what OP meant when he said the AI policy is virtue-signaling, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the culture war.

This has got to be one of the stupidest conspiracy theories out there. I swear nobody on HN has ever browsed 4chan for more than 30 seconds. 80-90% of it is porn and the rest is extremely lonely and socially maladjusted people talking to each other about literal nonsense.

Line wrapping is one of those things I’ve just decided to give up on and let myself be at the mercy of the machine. I just resize the window to be a comfortable width for reading text while I’m typing it and turn on soft wrapping. If you really need hard wrapping your editor or viewer should handle that formatting for you

Ok sure, you go try it! Just remember that even if you succeed, the consequences may be everyone you know and love dying in nuclear fire.

I was thinking about this the other day - I watched a video about the acme editor and it was showing off text editing in a shell buffer, much like M-x shell. I realized I haven’t yet found a terminal emulator that will let you select text with a mouse while you’re editing in the shell. It’s such a simple thing that would be so useful, especially on a Mac where CUA bindings don’t conflict with terminal escape codes. iTerm lets you Option+click to position the cursor but you can’t select a word with the mouse and press ‘delete’. Why? It seems like such a simple thing to do.
