slowhadoken··on Steam Users Beg for "No AI" Filter as Vibecoders Flood Next Fest
Valve is a business but they're also a brand. It doesn't help their brand to be bombarded by slop created by a third party. The initial money is a trifle compared to how many refunds they'll have to dish out. It's like a brute force attack, AI is doing it to a lot of industries and fields including mathematics.
slowhadoken··on Steam Users Beg for "No AI" Filter as Vibecoders Flood Next Fest
Yeah, it's a dishonest business practice to hide the use of AI.

Consumers should be able to make informed decisions about what they buy and people that like AI slop can consume AI slop.
slowhadoken··on Steam Users Beg for "No AI" Filter as Vibecoders Flood Next Fest
Valve is getting bombarded by slop too.
slowhadoken··on Steam Users Beg for "No AI" Filter as Vibecoders Flood Next Fest
People are proud to use AI but don’t want the AI label. Seems sus.

Valve is just as much of a victim.
slowhadoken··on The Fatal Flaw of 911
You know “go outside” and “touch grass” is in foid bingo right?
slowhadoken··on The Fatal Flaw of 911
your schtick is dead. you live in 2015 hr lady daycare land where everything you say is an advertisement for your vision board or dream journal. if you can’t feel positive about a weed induced delusion you down vote an oppressor or use a misappropriated term as a hollow slur.
slowhadoken··on The Fatal Flaw of 911
It’s relevant.
slowhadoken··on Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men
I’m bored of how shocked people are about this. It’s been going on decades now. Think of all the great and/or famous men that have killed themselves in the last 60 years. It stacks up quick. No one cares.
slowhadoken··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
Social media that allows users to vote on reality is astroturfed by design.
slowhadoken··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Not a great sentence.
slowhadoken··on Astra for Law
Wouldn’t this and similar efforts to centralize bureaucracy make AI the new gatekeeper? Without reliable transparent models we’re just trusting OpenAI instead of a hundred top legal firms.
slowhadoken··on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI
It’s been in bad shape for the last 11 years.
slowhadoken··on Fuzzing the Gleam Compiler
Writing code with an LLM seems like a deal with the devil but debugging logical errors or type coercion bugs is hell.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
It’s not cynical, you’re just over simplifying. Many of my family members are very bright and funny. I’m generally considered a funny person. It’s not an either/or. I mean, you’re kind of illustrating my point.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Math is a thing of interest and time investment to better understand the world but it’s also got a IQ entry fee.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
She’s your secretary, she’s paid to be pleasant.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Because we’re social animals and 84% of the population can’t do calculus or understand any meaningful statistics. It makes honest discussion and cooperation with the average person nearly impossible.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Not if you’re ignorant to what DDT is doing to you.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
A high IQ allows for a higher quality of life both superficially and meaningfully. This experience is usually weighted down by bullies and vindictive dysfunctional people. Envy is an intense oppressive force.
slowhadoken··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
Stupidity in the sense of doing nothing good for themselves or anyone else, yeah. People are mostly a collection of local context clues about overly emotional nonsense.
slowhadoken··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
It’s a lot of transnational corporate level head game stuff to realign Democrats towards neoliberalism. It results in gutting companies for ideological and/or post-political globalist ends. Grifting has nearly eliminated civics. It’s like players are trying to buy, strip, and flip America. Like a leveraged buyout of the US or something. Look at everything that came out about Blizzard for example. It’s spooky.
slowhadoken··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
Tech corporations co-opted open source technologies and liberalism by employing a bunch of wokies to act as social interfaces. Feminism has been doing the same thing to tech and media that Mitt Romney and private equity firms have been doing to brick and mortar businesses for the last 25 years.
slowhadoken··on Don't be a meat proxy
I’ve been saying for a long time that most fights in your personal life are a proxy war but I never thought of a single person as being a meat proxy. Nice.
slowhadoken··on Calvin and Hobbes and the price of integrity
Sometimes things are black and white. The syndicate needs people like Watterson and without them they’re broke. The Cartoon Network fell apart not heeding this law and its great artists continue on.
slowhadoken··on Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang
It should tell you how much hysteria is surrounding LLMs and VLMs right now that someone has to say this stuff. It’s almost like most humans aren’t conscious.
slowhadoken··on A walking tour of surveillance infrastructure in Seattle (2020)
Everything you’re saying I’ve heard a thousand times before. People tell me this kinda stuff all the time. I’m just good at predicting things. People talk in circles like you’re doing or laugh and then they see. Good luck.
slowhadoken··on A walking tour of surveillance infrastructure in Seattle (2020)
Right, not enforcing laws is criminal. It’s like you’re agreeing with me but you’re depressed and apathetic about it. It’s not just me, you see it all over social media. People are grossed out by potheads. I grew up with hippies and didn’t have a problem with it until normies started abusing it. Legalizing drugs or gambling is a trade off, it’s dirty money. Politicians know this, they have meetings about how high crime will go up afterwards. Again It’s just a fact, it’s not my “feelings” or “opinions”. I’ve studied political science. My observations easily fit within an Isaiah Berlin‘s concept of liberty.

Even if a state legalized marijuana it’s still illegal to possess a lot of it, to sell it without a license, and can violate tort, municipal, state and federal laws about drug smoke outdoors or indoors. It’s not my opinion, it’s regulation based on scientific evidence to protect public health. A lot of this is understood in California but cash poor states with huge budge problems look the other way. Potheads know this, they use these facts to pressure cities and states to take their dirty money. Since the revenue from taxing marijuana isn’t going to K-12 schools a lot of locals are getting tired of the bad money coming from pot. It’s a trade off like legalizing gambling but with no benefits. Smokers make up a fraction of the total population so you’re going to see pushback very soon.
