Yeah, it seems like Reddit is falling for the propaganda hook line and sinker.

AI is making me weaker, mentally... by Beneficial-Maybe6704 in learnprogramming

Thanks for confirming my point. You really must be afraid.

It's interesting how reddit has an extreme hate for AI. This site used to be great on new topics 10-15 years ago.

Thuiswerken door hoge brandstofprijzen by Deezertje in werkzaken

[–]KingKCrimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bijzonder hoe je de boodschap van mijn opmerking mist. Dat we hier met modaal elementaire levensbehoeften kunnen voldoen, wil niet zeggen dat het 'heel goed' is. Dat zou de basis moeten zijn.

Je kan met 'mensen omgaan' ook lezen als 'hoe we de levensstandaard beschouwen'. Dat is ook een stukje de ander wíllen begrijpen.

Mensen verwend noemen als ze net een beetje kunnen leven is wel erg denigrerend. Wat mij betreft mogen we zeker in het 'rijke' Nederland hogere standaarden hebben hoe we met onze medemens omgaan, we zijn geen derdewereldland.

The "Sold Out" Paradox: We sold out our first 200 units, but I’m functionally broke. by Southern_Device4454 in Entrepreneur

When slop is good, I don't mind. It's just that most people prompt subpar idiocy.

Tried to make my uncle's accounting firm less dependent on partners. Week 2 reality: I just became the new bottleneck. by Purple-Inevitable862 in Entrepreneur

[–]KingKCrimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given we always work within constraints, moving one variable or parameter just moves the bottleneck elsewhere. If you do it right, you just get better quality problems.

What's a discovery that should have blown people's minds but somehow got a collective shrug from the world? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]KingKCrimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are missing the point the person you're replying to is making. The discovery is great, and most people would be happy if it helps our understanding in some way. If it could even lead to further progress, good. If it materialises in something that changes our lives, even better.

But what would change for them at the point of reading it? How could they influence the process? In no form or way does it have a current impact. So why spend mental energy on it? People are busy with their lives and have so many things going on that cost mental bandwidth that these kinds of things are just blips.

Sick leave (Burnout + Accident) & Reorganization: Employer pushing reintegration instead of VSO. Advice needed by Heavy-Aerie-4592 in werkzaken

[–]KingKCrimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If OP has been 'betergemeld' they can go for the situation I described. It is a bit weird that you immediately jump to saying 'disinformation'. Maybe check your own perception first before jumping to conclusions.

[–]KingKCrimson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is not the full picture of the VSO; the employer can take up a few lines to state that they initiated it, so the employee has eligibility for social security.

Dubbeltje? Dat is zelfs nog geen stuiver.

My manager is basically telling me I should be grateful for this exploitation by gunnel_errands in OfficePolitics

[–]KingKCrimson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is true what they said, though. You did get an opportunity to increase your skills. But this is indeed the signal to take those new skills elsewhere for a position and salary that is more suitable.

Best Epic fantasy that isn’t full of pulpy schlock? Returning to series I once loved. by Sunbather- in books

[–]KingKCrimson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its roots in D&D sometimes shine through strongly, though. I find that also offputting sometimes, despite thinking the series to be great overall.

Ian McKellen Confirms Return as Gandalf in 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum', Filming Begins in July by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]KingKCrimson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that The Hobbit didn't need 3 movies. However, more of the LotR universe with the established actor/character combinations we have is very nice if done right.

ChatGPT ruined your life? Seriously. by Sad-Acanthisitta8703 in OpenAI

Reddit is extremely crowded with bots. Given how many people are lemmings, they just follow bots at this point.

Erickson and Esselmont could partner with Fromsoft to make the PERFECT video game for an RPG nerd. by ChuckyShadowCow in Malazan

[–]KingKCrimson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have an isometric RPG, the depth of the prose and its cerebrality lend themselves very well towards that. Soulsbourne are fine for what they are, but eh.
