The "you're stupid" above is indeed a mild ad hominem and could have been rephrased.

No, it literally is not an ad hominem in absolutely any sense whatsoever, period. If you think otherwise, you may or may not be stupid, but you're definitely ignorant. I could have phrased it some other way, if I were trying to be dishonest, but that is not what I do. I'm not here to be nice about shit ideas which ennoble or enrich shit people, nor to coddle their enablers.

Ad hominem means insult from a person. It is an argument that an argument is false because a certain person made it. It literally does not matter whether an insult is involved, although it can be. The fact that you're issued moderation points for a site like Slashdot when you're so eager to be so fundamentally wrong about what something means is utterly pathetic. This is exactly why moderation should be public, so people can know whether it means anything, or it was executed by someone who has no fucking idea what they're on about. This is also why moderation is and always has been fundamentally broken on Slashdot. Posting and moderating in the same discussion isn't allowed, but the people who are most qualified to moderate are also the people who are most qualified to comment.

I also note that you failed to understand the part about comments whose sole purpose is to insult and enrage, with your comical focus on insult when that is not even the core of what ad hominem even is. It's especially amusing that you quoted that section in light of your inability to understand either thing.

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.

All the Elon haters

If you don't hate Elon after what he did to USAID, which has killed thousands abroad elsewhere and also resulted in the screwworm showing up here, you're stupid.

You're going to look at what are the most practical workloads for space AI, what are the most efficient chips for those workloads in terms of tokens per Watt.

Fine words from someone who has done neither.

And so on and so forth - it's called engineering.

What you're doing is called simping.

at least reddit is making steps to make it difficult to steal. I was really upset when I found there were sites serving my deleted posts in an easy to search format. Again...I guess I should have thought about that...but they are stealing from me and from reddit in my view.

wank wank, flonk flonk.

I remember a time when Slashdot was peopled mostly by humans who looked down on copyright law in general as a farce. Those were better times in a lot of ways, and this is only one of them.

It's like if a musician gives a performance in a park for free. You have the right to watch. You have the right to record on your phone. You don't have the right to make money off their performance....that's both illegal and very unethical.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Everything is coercive.

I get why someone would purchase these services from Google, I even get why people who drank the Redmond kool-aid get them from Microsoft. I don't understand who would be stupid with to get them from Facebook but also have enough money to pay for them
