Read the whole comment, it’s sarcasm

Release the Epstein files, break up monopolies with executive orders, jail executives who are responsible for social murder and declassify all classified info that is only classified to cover the asses of billionaires.

Yeah I 'member. The good old days when an expansion pack was basically the dev wanting to do another game on the same engine, so they basically released another game’s worth of content with it.

Age of Mythology: The Titans comes to mind.

That said, the skelly island was definitely a DLC, as in it had barely any content. Tribunal, and Bloodmoon were expansion packs, and good ones too.

Yeah but they are taking your data from the laptop your mum bought yesterday and put all the family vacation pictures on. Mum didn’t know she had to kill off OneDrive or Microsoft will hoover up and monetise your memories.

I think this is the most uninteresting part of Morrowind, it’s a DLC that is basically “go to this island and kill a metric fuckton of skeletons”.

I think these are more representative of the game. It’s a bit dated, but insanely atmospheric and modders are still keeping it alive.

Classic case of “history is written by the victors”. You only call it antimatter because it lost, if it won, you’d call it matter.

Not letting my guard down. If we go past April, it suddenly becomes possible that Hungary will also flip on the issue. We’re working on it. I want to be a citizen of the country that pioneered the recipe on how to destroy a Russophilic kleptocratic soft dictatorship instead of the country that pioneered said dictatorship.

People say that “they will push again and again” but that’s just how politics works. You have to go vote every time, in every election, get informed - reasonably, don’t turn yourself into a terminally online Twitter-zombie, read news outlets that do a big piece every week, not 24/7 reports on tweets - get active all the time, because this is your lives, your kids’ and parents’ and partners’ and friends’ lives that gets decided about. Political engagement turns your country into something like the Nordics, disengagement takes you to Russia, maybe even literally these days.

If I was a schoolteacher with high school kids, I’d make them go on the ECI website, and check out the petitions, read them, and sign what they agree with, and try to instill a habit of doing so every few months. I do this, and I signed petitions that sounded right to me and I could verify with minimal research that they were benevolent. It takes zero time, and lets you push a continent of societies towards a better future ever so slightly.

I was also spamming Hungarian MEPs for what good it did.

I feel like this and SKG were both nice “come together” activism moments for the EU nerd community. And while SKG was important as well, Chat Control was really an “end of democracy” moment and I love that we the people could shine the light on it so hard that it got abandoned until next time.

I eat my pancakes without sugar, but with onions, cheese, sour cream, garlic and dill.

I also eat pasta with jam.

I once had a school lunch (public school cafeteria, everyone had the same) that consisted of apple soup, apple pasta and one fresh apple for dessert.

Fear me.

Profit motives.

The desalination plant will be there and produce just enough water that only some people will die of thirst so that the rest are incentivised to toil endlessly in said desalination plant for example.

This is how our economy works.

If you look at what AI does, however, it’s mostly classification.

Not necessarily, a huge use case is regulation and control in the engineering, not the political sense. Like driverless cars, independently flying drones and such. And yeah, they need classification subsystems under the hood to work, but their ultimate outputs are complex control signals, not simple classes.

And don’t get me wrong, I also like ML and AI as a field, I just don’t like how OpenAI fucked the field with text generators that they got Silicon Valley to worship like gods. I even like LLMs, just not the grotesquely outsized cult around them.

The law is very broad though, and can still be changed and amended.

AI is an adequate solution to a problem that has no other similarly adequate solutions (classification of complex information).

Sentiment analysis machines and such have been around before LLMs and eat much less electricity.

LLMs taken over the “AI” label so much that any success from a machine learning context is attributed to it, while it actually defunds and kills research out of ML all into LLMs.

They ensure content never leaves by having it be so low quality that nobody will want to take it away.

Excel used to have, and I think it still has, localised function names.

Makes it a nightmare to look up stuff on the Internet.

There was that british guy who got jabbed hundreds of times and sold vaccine certs

Delivery price is cheaper than the fuel, prices are same as the store.

It’s actually cheaper here, and it is also cheaper and easier for both the store and me.

Yeah the poop knife is not a knife made from poop, but a knife with the purpose of cutting poop.

I just realized I haven’t used a conveyor belt checkout since before the pandemic. It’s either grocery delivery or self-checkout.

Good old days, when Office was Office and not 365 Copilot AI whatever.
