At least AI provides actual value immediately - you can generate cool pictures right now. You don't have to HODL something and hope that you will be able to sell it to a greater fool.

Current VRAM prices are like that, because of Nvidias greed. I assembled one of my previous gaming PCs 10 years ago and installing 32 GB of RAM wasn't a problem back then. But you can't even buy a consumer GPU with 32 GB of VRAM.

Repetition is not good, because too much of it leads to overfitting.

Tbh in this case that check is useful. It prevents devs from accidentally including passwords in their commits.

Yes, and you can also create an alt account to post in subreddits that banned you. If I have to create a separate account for each server anyway then what's the point of the fediverse?

On reddit you can get banned from a bunch of subs, just because you post in a sub that their mods don't like. It's apparently against the reddit's rules, but nobody seems to give a shit. It'even easier to do that in the

Countries like Sweden or Singapore have different histories than the USA, but their drug laws are even harsher than those in the USA. Also straw purchasing a legal substance is much easier than finding a dealer of an illegal one.

I guess it's possible if you're in the right social circles. But as I said - this creates friction. Now you have to look for shady people or go to shady darknet markets, telegram groups, etc. And in many jurisdictions even purchas

It's much harder to start using drugs if they are illegal. I, for example, have no idea where to buy heroin in my city. But buying alcohol and cigarettes is not a problem - just go to the nearest grocery store. Illegality creates lots

Redditors will flock to other places and enshittify those as well. It's already happening.

It doesn't. For example - all mastodon's "private" messages are unencrypted and server owners can read them.

Yup - you can be banned from most reddit subs for simply disagreeing with a moderator.

Good luck convincing other people to use something else. My friends aren't going to leave Discord. And talking to myself isn't very fun.

For a small group like a family or a couple of friends it's simply easier to use apps like Discord, WhatsApp or Signal. But if you need something bigger then you can't avoid the problems that I mentioned. My country's gamedev

If you fly to Japan from Finland then you have to fly over the North Pole, because the Russian airspace is closed. Seems to be a lot more dangerous than the Himalayas.

Imagine if each subreddit was a separate forum with a separate account. People are lazy and want everything in the same place. Also it's not 1998 any more. Running a forum is a full time job. Need to handle DMCA takedowns, deal with il

Imagine paying to access a site that can ban you for posting an opinion that a random moderator disagrees with.

We've had that capability for at least 3 decades and nothing completely new has appeared since then. Something completely new like rock, metal or edm. You could not have made those during the 30s - the necessary technology hadn't

I'm not saying that music is worse. I'm saying that we have reached the "end of history" and there will be no more new radical changes like when genres like rock, metal and edm appeared.

In the 1950s there was no metal, chiptunes, EDM and other stuff like that. We had all that by the 80s and 90s. But what can we make now that we could not have made 20-30 years ago? Seems like that we've reached "the end of history

A game developer or a movie director can now generate music for their games and movies and don't have to bother with hiring a composer.

Chat GPT still can't do visual programming so if you use something like Unreal Engine - you still have to figure out everything yourself. Sure - GPT can generate algorithms, but it can't playtest the game. I can't ask ChatGPT

Tbh, since the invention of DAW software you don't actually have to learn to play any instruments. I can create something that sounds decent in software like Ableton Live or whatever, but I can't play anything on a piano or a guit

Doesn't comment editing basically destroy any protections that reddit has regarding user generated content?

Hacking devices similar to Flipper have been banned. It's a crime to possess a device like that without a licence.
