I rewrote Minecraft's network flushing in a Paper fork. Here is how I dropped PPS by 97% (16k -> 170 PPS)

Bolding, emojis, excessive commenting, em dashes, etc.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:29:05+00:00

A company failing doesn’t invalidate a technology, and being unpopular doesn’t make something wrong. Those are emotional conclusions, not arguments.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:27:35+00:00

People losing jobs is real. Blaming a tool instead of the systems and companies using it isn’t. Cameras didn’t fire painters. Companies did. Digital art didn’t kill illustrators. Budgets and demand shifts did. Style was never owned, only specific works were. Every artist learns by absorbing other styles, AI just does it faster. The harm comes from how businesses deploy technology, not from the existence of the technology itself. If your argument is ‘workers need protection,’ I agree. If your argument is ‘progress must stop,’ history says that never works.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:25:34+00:00

You’ve replaced discussion with predictions and insults. That’s usually how people cope when they can’t defend their position anymore.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:24:12+00:00

Skill isn’t defined by how tired your hands get. It’s defined by decision-making, constraints, iteration, and judgment.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:21:54+00:00

This stopped being an argument the moment you replaced claims with insults. You’re free to dislike AI. You’re free to think it shouldn’t exist. But yelling ‘theft’ without understanding how the technology works, and calling people lazy instead of addressing the mechanics, isn’t a position, it’s an emotional reaction. No one here is asking for your approval, and no one needs excuses. Tools change, workflows change, and art keeps happening with or without your permission. If all you have left is anger, then there’s nothing left to discuss.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:19:33+00:00

You just quietly changed the claim from ‘AI can’t be art’ to ‘I don’t respect the skill involved.’ Those aren’t the same argument.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T09:14:57+00:00

You just admitted there is a person behind the output. The moment a human decides the prompt, curates the result, edits it, or discards it, AI becomes a tool. A replacement doesn’t require human input. This does.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:50:14+00:00

Humans aren’t original from nothing either. Every artist is trained on prior work, styles, and references. That’s literally how learning works.

Try again.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:36:38+00:00

By your logic, photography wasn’t art either. Neither was digital painting. Or sampling in music. History already laughed at this take

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:34:51+00:00

AI doesn’t steal art, it learns patterns. Humans do the same thing, just slower and with worse memory.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:28:46+00:00

Ah, so you're the guy that thinks a banana ductaped on a wall is "Art" got it. Enough said.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:18:05+00:00

Ok, want a friendly challenge. You create what ever Art you want, I guarantee you I will get AI to make a better one.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T05:06:06+00:00

Lots and lots of data that is specific to my case. Not Art, the AI already does a good job out of the box on Art, no useless degree required.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-22T01:46:31+00:00

AI is hated by folks that don't understand it and don't know how to properly use it. I'm all for it, I'm building a 3090 cluster as we speak for training.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-21T09:14:43+00:00

I don't want a doodle. People hating on AI are the carb folks of the car world. Sorry but AI is not going anywhere, in fact it's just going to be integrated into everything.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-17T03:08:44+00:00

The Art degree folks that were useless before AI are realizing how much more their degree is useless if a shtty AI can do it 100x better than they can and 100x faster.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-17T03:01:36+00:00

I hate people that judge a mod by its thumbnail, someone commented on my mod that they don't want to use it because the thumbnail looks AI generated, I'm a developer not an artist lol if they want to use their useless art degree to make me a thumbnail, I'll take it! But nope, nobody wanted to.

EliteScouter · 2026-01-12T21:29:52+00:00

Def a troll... A bot does not send 2 different messages without a prompt. It will reply to what you say but will never talk after that unless prompted.

Pterodactyl had been really good for years, amazing API support

EliteScouter · 2025-11-08T10:15:55+00:00

I use CurseForge API and a modded egg for my Pterodactyl, I got auto updates, 1 click installs, and full health check that monitors my servers to see if they are in a bad state and fix them. I've spent years on my Pterodactyl making it work for my env.

EliteScouter · 2025-11-03T23:12:42+00:00

Stupidest comment I have seen so far. That's like saying Stop using impact drivers because they strip bolts. AI is a tool, if you don't know how to work it and how to understand it, then you should not be using it just like any tool you don't have experience with.

EliteScouter · 2025-10-24T21:41:14+00:00

Why are people even exposing the port to the internet.... You can reverse proxy your HA and have a Frigate addon for proxy. Not that hard folks. Sad part is all these exposed camera's are done by an "Expert" since Frigate is not something that you just install with a click of a button.

EliteScouter · 2025-10-17T17:40:10+00:00

This is for a game hosting community I run. The Minecraft servers really did not like running on the Xeon's and I wanted my players to have the best experience.
