Comment I'll tell you what will happen (Score 2) 89

What always happens when you try to block kids from doing anything: they find a way to do it anyway.

We older folks too were "blocked" from doing stuff as kids, pre- and post-internet, and we too did it anyway. And it actually made us smarter, as we had to devise ways around the obstacle.

Kids are smart. This will just make them smarter.

Comment Re:The YouTuber Adam Something (Score -1) 37

A YouTuber? Seriously? We Americans trust the experts. For those who don't know, the rsilvergun account was recently exposed as being a Malaysian, complete with screenshots of zir other social media. Only foreigners think random YouTube channels are more trustworthy than experts. We Americans went through this during covid. People were eatating horse paste! And refusing life saving vaccinations. Oh, how we all laughed when Herman Cain died.

The workers tried overthrowing the government. Jewish Bolsheviks seized power and ruled the country. They then murdered ten million Christians in Ukraine.

This genocide was covered up by the New York Times, who won a Pulitzer Prize that they still proudly display today.

Why do you think Big H was so fixated on invading Russia and eliminating Jews?

The Bolsheviks openly declared their intention of conquering all of Europe. They tried, too, only to be stopped by the valiant Poles at the Vistula.

Everyone knows about H and the six million, but nobody has heard of Yagoda the Jew and the ten million. Make Yagoda famous!

Comment Reviews are mostly bullshit (Score -1) 36

Google reviews are just like Amazon reviews and anywhere else. They're crap and mostly astroturfed by the company themselves.

Adding anonymous reviews won't improve review quality. It'll just leave small businesses unable to defend themselves or respond to random Karens who didn't feel they were treated special enough.

I love seeing bad reviews where the small businesses owner responds and we find out the reviewer was some Karen making shit up or not telling the whole story. This new review system will just encourage more Karens to destroy small local businesses but leave owners unable to respond if they don't know who the Karen is.

No one can explain what AGI would really be. That's the point. I've posted exactly that several times but you're not paying attention just looking to play gotcha games so you can feel smart.

There is no such thing as AGI that isn't biological. No one has done it, no one has made any real progress on it, it's just sci-fi that can't even be explained in proper technical terms that aren't philosophical and fuzzy feel good.

LLM is well understood and explainable but not AGI.

Did you feel you 'caught' me on something and feel smart now? You didn't. But I do look forward to your explanation for what AGI is. If you can figure it out maybe someone will give you a Nobel prize or something. Good luck.

Comment Fail. Bad answer to bloat. (Score -1) 67

Pre-loading is a shitty hack to partially make up for windows bloat.

Almost everyone has an SSD but file exploring needs to be pre-loaded?

We have way more than 640k so Microsoft is going to steal it to speed up their crap?

None of my third party apps n games waste -my- resources pre-loading to make up for their shit coding but Microsoft thinks this is a good idea rather than just fixing their shit. I see this as a form of theft.

My computer hardware was way slower when I had 3.1 and 95 yet performed fine without pre-loading anything. Now they stuffed so much useless crap in there and made it nearly impossible to identify and disable that they need even more hardware just to not seem like the shit OS they're shoveling.

We don't need pre-loading. We need a slimmer OS that defaults to "no extra crap loading or running behind our backs tracking us and sending our info to Microsoft".

Exactly ... I don't want my fuckin' email client "putting words in my mouth." Literally makes me want to put my hand through the screen. Same with the naggitty-nag-na-nag-na-nagging to turn on x feature. If I wanted to have a clanker finish my sentences, stink my photos with the clown, etc, I'd turn on those features myself. Please stop with the picking at users.
