There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • This is ridiculous, in part because you post a lot of interesting content across multiple communities. Yeah, some of it criticizes AI but it’s well founded.

    I don’t like the Fuck AI or the Pro AI communities here because of how polarized they’ve become. Actions like this make it so much harder to have any kind of discussion.

    I think the technology is cool but capitalism sucks. Any time I bring up an interesting application for AI it devolves into personal attacks. Same thing if talk about stolen training data and the psychological impact of AI reliance.




  • Kits are about $30-100, the files are free and materials are cheap. Ammo is another matter, but plastic darts are a thing.

    But to the point, it was more of a hyperbole than advocating women start carrying unregistered firearms, so I’m exploring the hypothetical rather than arguing in favor of it.

    Where I live getting a gun is a lot more difficult, and a license to conceal and carry a loaded weapon even more so. Hypothetically speaking, it is faster, easier and cheaper to make a 3D printed handgun if you know what you’re doing. Given their prevalence here, it doesn’t seem all that difficult for a lot of people. I’m not saying it’s without risk.


  • I get CC’d on Crown reports on 3D printed guns. But I’m so glad you shared this thing from Vice.

    I think our disagreement might be more cultural than technology based, though, since I’m not American and gun laws are much different where I live. And it was… sort of a joke. Obviously, where I live having an unregistered firearm carries a lot of risk that outweighs the benefit.
