Gee I hope he doesn’t jack off

I mean, I’d daresay the gaming community has a large community dedicated to both accessibility and preservation, they’re just generally frowned upon because it’s, you know, piracy. However, only through piracy can I get an original release copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation, Dreamcast and Windows. You can only get re-releases, remakes, and the like, often which do not hold up to the original in terms of style and control.

People act like these businesses haven’t done the math already. They did the math and people who think like we do are in such an extreme minority that even if every single physical game user boycotts entirely, they’ll still be making more money than they were before. It’s why mobile games embraced chasing whales at the cost of the quality of experience for the casual player. Fortnite was going to be an actual paid game beyond it’s current implementation, but that got dropped entirely for the free-to-play pay-for-skins cash-cow it became. If it’s profitable, they don’t give a damn if it sucks for most people.

We are in a stage of capitalism in which all available markets are saturated, and now to continue increasing profits year on year the only way to make that happen is to cater to wealthier customers who can afford the price increase that offsets the loss of the poorer customers.

I’m not even near the fires and I’ve been cooped up inside for days because the AQI is insanely bad all over the state.

The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.

The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is “get a better job” and everything will be fine.

Man I’m not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.

and providing you take into account that it cannot plan ahead for contingencies or consider negative possible outcomes. they have no sense of the past or the future, existing entirely within the moment of a prompt.

It’s path down the hill was algorithmically determined but it’s actually a black box so I can’t tell you why it followed the path it did at all actually.

Yeah, this “similar enough sounding domain name” tactic is far from new, and they must just be using new SEO tricks to get their sites to surface to users, that or illegitimate ad services promoting them.

I dunno, the GameStop Bros are still waiting for MOASS. So I’d say the wealthy have more ways to keep the plates spinning than we wish they did.

You know what, burn the whole fucking planet down. I’m done with this clown-ass species.

I just dont even know what to say about the intentional destruction of knowledge

I mean not defending Altman, but… aging in general does that, yes.

He was in his mid thirties now he’s in his early 40’s and his hair is graying… shocker I know.

But anyway, this is really hurtful to people who are just letting themselves age gracefully because it implies that they too must be conmen like Altman.

The users did by caving and paying instead of raising hell. But Americans are very complacent.

I literally called this when they announced that they would only do it for a year. Of course it was going to fucking backfire.

We’re in an economic crisis, the AI shit is pumping tech prices through the roof (literally Microsoft is responsible), and they want people to get new computers? Fuck off, dipshits

I’ve made a device which makes you read this in your head, in my voice!

Throw it on the pile.

Interesting. I was fighting with KDEs implementation of ddc today because it’s fucking crashing my power management system when the monitors go to sleep. I didn’t realize it went that far back.

10 to 1 the Police Chief has CSAM on his phone. I call and raise the bet.

It’s literally a documented design in the Windows store

Guess I’m going back to VGA then. Pretty sure old VGA shit doesn’t transfer metadata about themselves.

(just kidding, I use Linux)

Also it’s not actually “autonomous” it wouldn’t have done this at all if not asked to complete a task and this how it chose to complete it.

The LLMs don’t make decisions or act on their own, they only follow directions
