sure, many things influence what technology is being developed, politics, culture, economy. That does not make it inherent, ie. inseparable from it. That would mean that you can only have technology where politics play a relevant role, which is obviously not true.

you don’t know what inherent means, apparenty.

fuck me, the “everything is political” crowd in here needs to touch some grass.

immeasurably shitty? go touch some grass.

you mean this statement? https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/08/linus_versus_llms_ai_slop_docs/?td=rt-3a

If yes, your statement does not really match what Linus said.

of course, but the OP said independent

I highly doubt that. how would that even work? a third-party to the publisher would have to check every statement before the issue goes to print. I can’t imagine this happening for anything that is not research papers or official reports.

but I happy to learn something new.

in what world would independent fact checking down to the level of individual quotes be feasible for an online magazine? you can’t be serious.

Believe it or not, this is the first time for me being suspected a troll, but I start to see the appeal when people are getting so worked up while being so far off the mark.

Sorry to disappoint that I am still on the loose. Then again prison is probably better than doing one more D-FMEA.

I was sure this would happen, I was quite facetitious. OP’s blanket statement just rubbed me the wrong way.

That’s why unit and integration tests shouldn’t be written by Copilot.

Firewalled VM with no personal or professional data on it. So no.

Because i want to work on meaningful things that benefit people directly.

Because i want to unterstand the capabilities and limitations of openclaw-like agents. LLMs aren’t going away, better be proactive and learn what the hype is about.

I program medical devices for a living and I have openclaw and nanobot running at home. AMA.

What makes you say this?

Well crafted counter argument

The thing with being cocky is, if you are wrong it makes you look like an even bigger asshole

The program uses a form of attention network, a deep learning technique that focuses on having the AI identify parts of a larger problem, then piece it together to obtain the overall solution.

You can save your breath, I am with you that corporations try to fuck us over at every turn. If you try to not see a villain in someone disagreeing with you, you could’ve seen that from the beginning.

There is also no need to put words in my mouth what my argument was, because it is really simple. The statement “I paid for it therefore I own it” is as false as “if I don’t own it after buying, then there is no such thing as piracy”. The question is whether or not games are a service.

I am probably as pissed off about the hyper-capitalistic encroachment as you are. you should try to not let your emotions impact your reasoning though.

Pointing out bullshit arguments isn’t defending anyone, it’s just being intellectually honest. Not sure what’s better, you being serious or arguing in bad faith.

Yeah, no. You buy services all the time, without owning the thing or person providing the service.

If games are or should be a service is a completely different question. I wholeheartedly think that they are not, but that is irrelevant to the argument. But I can’t stand those polemic phrases that miss the point completely.
