Scaling comedy, it is when you pick bigger and bigger objects for 'your mom' jokes.

If you want a little hit of an unfair one, might want to look into the some of the weird manosphere guys who joined LW early on. Like https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Davis_Aurini.

E: Ah doesnt seem he wrote much (e: ah seems the site doesnt show the comments, change the ones it shows and they turn up): https://www.lesswrong.com/users/aurini (or it got purged). Amazingly, he is actually not the worst: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/aPCKiEd2G8H3kkdnN/the-dark-arts-preamble?commentId=3nrQddAAYnZzegPt5

Amazing how he looks like an annoying Seinfeld extra in that picture.

I'd hope that on linux annoyed users would easily hack it out, compared to stuff like windows. But sadly that is also expecting active users who can do coding and then can/want to spread that code, and then being able to trust that code. I have seen in other places how much of a mess that can be.

While I like it, I wish there were more people pushing back and it not just being people involved with van Rooij. Makes it to easy to dismiss the concerns as just her being a crank. (Which I don't think she is obviously, just wish there were more people in academia pushing harder back).

There are 'user uses AI/has AI profile' lists to they really are objecting to the word 'slop'.

'slop is a slur' discourse incoming in T minus -100.

Could also just be accidental stuff. I mean if you google and you get an AI reply, does that count for example? How many of it is 'my boss said I should use it, so I tossed some questions in there for the stats'.

Stuff like this has been coming for a while now, and I hate it. See also how your windows login screen can have ads on it.

Considering the rate of return on advertisements, I don't think this is a financially good sign.

And interestingly a friend of mine who basically only games switched to Linux, and it seemed to have been rather painless. And most of his games work with minimal fiddling. (And there are even tools to help you with 'which games of my library will not run well'. Which did surprisingly well on his large library. So linux on the desktop might be closer than we think).

Amusing just how basic his insults and ideas about the left are. This is generic drunken bar patron shit. Lot of projection there. You lost it Moldy, you need to add more obscure references so you don't come off so reactionary/reactive mid.

i wonder what else he had go wrong the last period he needed a distraction like this

[–] Soyweiser@awful.systems 7 points 1 week ago

Going on the Grok output, I saw: Conservapedia with more uses of the word fuck (it can now use the word fuck), extremely verbose mid insults and weird flirting.

Or add a rocket booster.
