If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

“As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture.”

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?

From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?

Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).

I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.

It’s also that their monetization scheme begets piracy. A game and the dlc for it should never cost more than $100

There’s also just the issue of the fact that there’s significantly more books, articles, etc. written in standard english vs AAVE so that’s gonna be a huuuge barrier to overcome regardless of diversity of development and training teams. Not to say diversity isn’t important, but also that there’s just certain challenges surrounding finding adequate amounts of high quality training data, especially for less mainstream concepts. It’s the same reason an AI couldn’t give a summary of a book that has almost no info abt it on the internet.

Right now we have music festivals and large ren faires where people go for a week to enjoy something together. Imagine if some time in the future we could slow our brains perception and achieve am SAO-like experience for people in a week at a festival-like environment!!! What an interesting experience that would be

I mean they just came out with CS:2

I think you may be misinformed as to what a non-compete agreement is. For example, when I worked for leaf filter, I had to sign a non-compete agreement that stated I couldn’t/wouldn’t work in the gutter protection industry for 6-12 months after leaving their company. Was it too broad to enforce and just their to keep anybody with a working brain from taking their service and providing it for cheaper? Yes. Did it work, effectively driving down competition and allowing them to effectively pigeonhole the US market? Also yes.

It really depends on who you’re talking about. Indie game devs? Don’t pirate. EA? The programmers/designers/writer/etc are getting paid the same amount either way, but there is still an argument to be made that if enough people were to pirate that it could cause layoffs in the future. higher amounts of piracy and higher sales are positively correlated tho so it’s really tough to say.

In no way should someone be upset with you for you not wanting to pirate tho. That’s just ridonk

I can see this for a small percentage of adult users but tbh it’s probably just praying on the sexualities of quite young boys (think 9-11 range) that know they like women’s bodies but don’t know about or are ashamed of watching porn

That’s an insult to 6th graders

Isn’t GeForce Now only available if you buy an Nvidia graphics card? In that case I would consider it part of the product that was sold, not a free software

Ignore my comment, GeForce experience is what I was thinking of.

No but I can see that they’re a member of the US education system based on their wording, content, and context.

Can you?

I didn’t just make fun of somebody because their English sucks. My French sucks lmao. I mentioned that his comment doesn’t paint him as very intelligent because he was talking shit on an education system (in a vast majority English speaking country, referring to the country as “here” implying both residence in the US and inside knowledge of the US education system (as he knows what happens within), virtually guaranteeing english grammar instruction at some point) while using the grammar of an inebriated 4 year old. Like fuck me dude

Honestly not really. His was clearly a dexterity error while that other guy’s sentence is… not exactly speaking highly on behalf of his intelligence

Compared to the average person, yes, you are a very heavy user. Most people use their laptop for little more than browsing the internet.

I have 8 and am able to play 4x games at high settings w/o significant lag until late game lol. People really tend to blow this one out of proportion. Unless you’re an incredibly heavy user you probably don’t need more than 8 and 16 still feels luxurious.

Another argument for buying your teenager cigarettes…

Average is one in 30? Wild. The P&G plant near my house was at a few hundred days with no incidents recently. For Tesla to be doing even worse than 1/30 tho? Yikes

They also need to keep those users though. Like if people just come for Alan wake 2 they have no incentive to stay currently because the epic games store and app are kinda dogwater compared to steam.

Like I have launchers for a couple services on my computer and the only one that gets used except for the purpose of playing one specific game is steam.
