Steam can delist all of Ubisoft’s games from their storefront in retaliation to what Ubisoft does on their own independent store

The switch 2 costs considerably more in the US than elsewhere thanks to the tariffs. That tax is going to suppress sales no matter what, and there are other economic pressures that harm most people’s buying power as well

I mean we can always just make it culturally normal to celebrate birthdays on weekends regardless of where they technically fall in the week. Lots of folks already do that

It’s possible to do less granular simulation of far away stuff as an LOD type thing. An object four times hotter than the surface of the sun should probably have an effect on the world around it. The tricky parts are how you determine where that threshold is, what those objects are, and what the low resolution world simulation should be doing in response

Don’t just state—regurgitate!

That is because nearly all of nvidia’s revenue comes from AI datacenter hardware now, and before that from crypto miners. As long as CUDA works without issue, their main clients by dollar volume are happy

There is room in !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone for everyone!

The issue then would be migrating all of your existing server to an offline server auth method. If there’s anyone who doesn’t log in during the migration period, anyone else could nab their account name (and presumably everything that account has on it) once it’s fully swapped over.

Plus, if the server remains popular after this, Microsoft lawyers could pursue legal action on the operation to bypass their auth servers as well

If the yolk directly touches the surface, the emulsifiers could potentially mess with things?

The problem is that, for the property owning class, the unaffordability of homes is broadly a feature and not a bug.

When I see something impressive generated by a computer, I may go “wow”, but when I see something, displayed on a computer or not, that I know a person went and handcrafted so many details on, I am inspired by that dedication to the craft. The human elements within art are a big part of what makes it meaningful.

If someone wants to use AI for the parts of a work they don’t care about (or as placeholders) so they can pour their heart into a different aspect of the work, fine. If they want the computer to do all the work for them, they have created slop. This is independent of whether we live in a society that values gross resource accumulation or one that shares equally.

I will say that the push towards slop primarily stems from our societal zeitgeist. The mentality is “I need to make as much money with as little effort as possible”, and sometimes people really do need that money to pay bills. I think that’s a big reason why it’s such a problem. There is little monetary value in actual expression for the effort required when compared with mass produced “content” for dollars.

We’re in the New Gilded Age

I think it depends on the reason you do not use it. The Luddites were primarily frustrated over automation displacing their high-skill job with low-skilled ones that produced worse quality goods. It’s a 2 for 1: we are losing the jobs we need to survive, but also we lose the personal touch from the work of artisans + lose appreciation for their talent.

I am not carte blanche against AI as a concept, but it really does seem like a technology that makes interactions worse quality, more depersonalized, and on top of that it has a horrible externalized environmental cost which benefits nobody in the long run.

Addendum: I believe technology has the power to be liberating when it provides for all of us, and oppressive when it concentrates wealth+power into the hands of moguls and tyrants.

If it gets you talking about it, even in the context of telling them to shut the fuck up, it’s working :)

u will become crab one way or another 🦀

In my experience, you find out BONTO! had a security breach via an Ars Technica article published around 4 months after the fact because the data was found on the dark web. Zero correspondence from the company itself except in rare circumstances

You see, the thing is that this particular house actually required a lot of skill and planning to make

Technically, almost all of Antarctica is located north of the south pole
