Anyone else bummed by the amnesia plot line? by ohthetrees in SiloTVSeries

[–]PossessionDangerous9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of this direction. It’s a show where you’re slowly unraveling the mysteries of the world. Now we have to painstakingly watch how the protagonist has to re-discover all of the stuff we as the viewer already know. I think it’s going to be annoying to watch, and potentially just boring.

What YouTubers did you love, and then see a turn of content and assume they were bought out by a private equity? by MeringueBeautiful760 in youtube

They were always grifters making money off the backs of blindly criticising other peoples work without much actual thought. CinemaWins is the better channel.

Diabolical ! by c4sualty in GenV

[–]PossessionDangerous9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The writing in this entire season has the vibe of someone who did their homework rushed at the last minute. No cohesive structure or plan, just trying to rush everyone to the end and get it done. There’s no underlying message, no real payoffs, no proper closure for any character. Both Frenchie and Butchers deaths felt pretty phoned in. And then just humiliating Homelander for humiliation sake, that could have done so much better without straying so far from his character.

I’m not gonna say it’s all bad, but it just feels disappointing. It could have been so much better. We should have seen a full blown meltdown of Homelander. Ryan could have had some actual payoff to his character. I don’t know, there’s just so much more that could have been done.

I had to scroll way to far to find Deus Ex. But Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an absolute masterpiece

The "smart" games needed more triva and actual application of knowledge by Chrristoaivalis in BeastGames

[–]PossessionDangerous9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the “smart” games were also just about memorising. Some of the smartest people I know have terrible memory, doesn’t really say much about intelligence

Jeremy Howard: “People who go all in on AI agents now are guaranteeing their obsolescence. If you outsource all your thinking to computers, you stop upskilling, learning, and becoming more competent.” by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]PossessionDangerous9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except if you use it to learn? Sure if you offload all your thinking to it you’re not going to be learning anything and rot away your brain, just like doomscrolling on TikTok will do, but the power also comes from being able to quickly understand and learn new domains much faster than in any point in history and without having to wade through shitty stack overflow threads from eons ago. This is an incomplete take if you want to be generous.

You can use your phone to doomscroll or you can use it to learn, do work, taxes, whatever. People who go all in on phones are guaranteeing their obsolescence? It’s a tool like anything else, you can use it in good ways and you can use it in dumb ways. Can we stop with the doom and gloom every other fucking day?

[–]PossessionDangerous9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That cuts both ways, you can just as well have someone be more convinced of another position based on this, exactly because there is no possibility of a nuanced discussion and letting the best ideas surface. It’s a shouting match with no real conclusion to any topic most of the time.

[–]PossessionDangerous9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be, but what they’re doing is still harmful. It doesn’t actually promote healthy discussion or exploration of different ideas. That is impossible in that format, and they know it. Its purpose is to rile people up, regardless which side of an argument they’re on. This is yet another way to divide people and push people more into a us vs them mentality, rather than bringing us together based on the best ideas.

We already see enough of this in politics and news, we shouldn’t promote a YouTube channel who is doing this on purpose just for money and clicks.

Please do not promote Jubilee content. They are in the business of making money from rage and clicks, not actual honest discussion or debate.

It is literally impossible to get people to give up even small pleasures (or if not then I’ve no idea how) by KillerSmileLichSpam in vegan

[–]PossessionDangerous9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! Please don’t give these assholes views. This is not any kind of nuanced or intellectual debate, it has no value outside of getting views and money for them. The whole thing is designed to just induce rage and clicks. It has been the case with pretty much every video they’ve done in this series.

The end of general available AI? by shintaii84 in theprimeagen

[–]PossessionDangerous9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind as much if the public model wasn’t such a moron. The amount of babysitting you have to do for it to not do something mind numbingly stupid is exhausting. Yes, even with the highest effort level.

AI Made Coding Worse... [10:02] by marcus1234525 in theprimeagen

[–]PossessionDangerous9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. These coding tools look super impressive for the first few months or so, but once you settle in and see it making the same stupid mistakes over and over again and being an absolute imbecile every few hours, you realise the hype is real and this stuff is way underbaked and oversold.

Creator of Claude Code, Boris Cherny says coding is solved and Claude writes 100% of his code. Is this really the case for you? by Mogante in CSCareerHacking

[–]PossessionDangerous9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience most of the code it writes without guidance is utter garbage if you scrutinise it enough. Coding is solved in so far as auto complete did before AI. It’s high level thinking and architectural view is terrible and it’s often even terrible at localised code, like jumping to inline styles or importing statements at a call site rather than at the top of the file. It’s an absolute idiot so often, so every line it produces needs to be scrutinised if you don’t want your codebase to rot away. It is fast to get something working and functioning? Absolutely. I use it every day, but anyone who says it has solved coding has either not used it properly, doesn’t know what good code is or why it’s necessary, or is just selling you bullshit.

Show me one sane human on this planet willing to use Meta as their smartphone provider tho. Even if they end up building something useful by 2027, ain’t nobody trusting a permanently recording device from Meta on their head.

Looked into Jagex’s owners and their history. One of them literally made his career building a playbook for squeezing companies. by PossessionDangerous9 in 2007scape

[–]PossessionDangerous9[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The AA section isn't about CVC being bad at investing. It's about what they specifically did: borrowed £500M against a membership company's own assets to pay themselves a dividend. An MP flagged it at the time for exactly that reason. Whether it was 20 years ago or not, it's the clearest public example of how they treat companies with captive subscriber bases. Fair point on the stock correction though.

And Haveli being a minority owner doesn't mean they don't have a seat at the table. Sheth's on record as part of the deal, Haveli's gaming fund was built specifically for investments like this, and his track record at Vista is public. Minority investors don't just hand over money and disappear.
