Like the filters people use on Instagram to make themselves look perfect. All of this is pretty sick but nobody seems to be thinking its a problem.


“As ive explained, this is what consumers want. And I want Nvidia stock to go well.”


Being young today must be fun. Just missed out on all the good stuff in the 80, 90s and 2000s to experience this mess we have now.


Hopefully there will be alternatives popping up. I dont think tech-savvy users will be fine with this. I know I will be seeing what I can do on my phone, thats for sure.




I think they are most likely fine. I would buy some to try if I needed memory.


Im still scared from seeing that tucker interview with Altman about the whistleblower “suicide” and Altman acting like some psycho.

These people are scary as hell.


Yeah or just multiple people controlling groups of them. Its impressive though, sure. I just hate the idea behind it - to get people to like these things.


I mean, sure, you can probably make an argument for less racism when we have robots. But still, its going to be pretty horrible for everyone.


These are copying human movements i think. But yeah, there is an attempt to make these robots look cool so humans wont resist when they patrol the streets.


Imgur already removed your picture.

Cool with a game, but at this point, im thinking the real world takes these things as instructions how to proceed.


They dont know how to make good movies or games anymore, so not hoping for much. It actually requires emotional maturity and love for the craft.


I spent 60 dollars and I played 4 hours, lol.

I just cant bring myself to launch the game, its so slow, laggy and boring… :/


I mean sure. But what is the quality of those services, specially since this is kind of an unknown software in the Linux world…



> Human rights groups warned on Friday that it effectively forces member states to create a broad electronic surveillance dragnet that would include crimes that have nothing to do with technology.  > Many expressed concern that the convention will be abused by dictatorships and rogue governments who will deploy it against critics or protesters — even those outside of a regime’s jurisdiction.  Oh how unfortunate, im sure that was not part of the plan from the beginning... /s

About the same for me. Genuinely happy and cant understand why more people dont just install it. Its soo easy these days.


Same story as Netflix, it used to be great value but look at it now…


You should be happy its the first you hear about it. It wasnt popular when it came and it never became popular and still it took a decade to fucking die.

It got bundled with Firefox in June 2015 and now exactly 10 years later, its finally gone.


I didnt know it was a new studio too. Thats a classic mistake.


I wouldnt go that far. Skylines 2 has a new game engine. If it wouldnt have turned out to be incredibly slow, it would have been a very successful launch.

And I cant imagine anyone buying Skylines 2 if it used the same engine as Skylines 1. Then it truly would have been no point. The new engine was supposed to make cities more beautiful and more realistic. They just didnt manage to make it fast.

I unfortunately bought the game for 50 dollars in launch day and I have just 3 hours in it. I cant bring myself to play it because of the sluggish feeling.


Its pretty much exactly like command & conquer, but its modern, so fun to play.


I bought the deluxe version only because that was the only version available on steam and I wanted to play now during easter holidays.

Its ok though. Game is cool.


No, unfortunately it doesnt. The scenes are more or less serious, so thats a bit sad, but its ok.


I bought it yesterday, its a modern command & conquer, worth buying if you like that sort of base building, resource gathering and massive fight kind of a game. :)

There hasnt been anything like it in decades so I like it a lot.


Probably everyone died to him first time. You dont know the game so well and he can kill you with one or two hits.


The companies are doing it so their stock price will go up. Each couple of years there needs to be a new hype. Its not enough with Windows 2027. Big techs high evaluations are all based on future hype that will come at some point in the future (and it wont).


Saving the stock value of Open Ai and chip companies… Until they manage to compete again.


Path of Exile 2. I really like that feeling of progress. No other game has that feeling of not wanting to stop playing because you want to see what happens when you get the next skill or weapon or armor.


I can only speak for myself but I didn’t like it because it felt like the same experience over and over. I admit I haven’t played since launch, but back then, i quickly realized all the planets had the same minerals. They had different randomized animals and colour’s but they were generally just the same. And then I lost interest, because I was hoping to be able to find rare minerals, unique items, stuff that wouldn’t exist in other parts of the universe, and perhaps he able to trade it with other players or npcs.

I guess I wanted a different game than what the makers wanted.

Looking at the video now, it still looks like the same basic experience with improved graphics.


Or it’s important to the media companies to not alienate Microsoft because of reasons.

I mean, it’s very strange. Open Ai is the obvious loser on this, not Facebook. Obviously Microsoft doesn’t want the press reminding people of alternatives to the big tech models.


Yeah. I dont think what we have now is general intelligence. It’s just word prediction models. But they still manage to give an impression of intelligence. I think there will be some big change at some time where Ai models will use some different technology and probably give something closer to actual thinking.



Yeah. I think long term, many advancements in Ai will still need Nvidia chips and it will be better to have more of them still.


It’s up 5% in premarket right now, so… We will see how long they stay down.


Someone has a gun to your head? Because I just stop doing something I don’t like.




Oh shit, should have checked the majority opinion before posting!

Whats your opinion on apples?


Well at least social media I guess.


Google Testing Ads Mixed Within Organic Search Results
Hi, do you have a minute? I would like to talk about https://kagi.com as the solution to all your problems. Google will always try to squeeze more and more ads into your life, just like Microsoft and all the other big tech shitfarms. While Kagi uses some Google search results, they are avoiding most of the SEO crap you get in Google while also giving you the option to completely remove or prioritize whatever sites you want in the search results. It really makes the web feel very fresh again because you discover sites you never see on Google or Bing.

What have they done to the game? > As my city slowly filled up with buildings and residents, it also began to feel a bit empty—especially when compared to the original game which has been fed with dozens of DLC packs over the past seven years. With a mere 20,000 citizens and the designation of "Small City," the milestones had already run out of new features to unlock. There are only three different tourist attractions to build, and while there are several sports parks they're all small, the sort you might find in an average-sized town. Skylines 2 has nothing like the huge gleaming sports stadium from the first game that feels suited for a major city. > Zooming in close to spy on my city revealed a few other disappointing changes. In the original game it was fun to watch city services at work: firemen would race to a fire, get out of their trucks, and hose down the burning buildings with wee little hoses. Adorable and live-saving! For those less fortunate citizens, coroners would drive up to a house and then wheel out a sad little body bag to their hearse before heading for the cemetery. I was disappointed to see that in Skylines 2, fire engines and hearses pull up to the buildings they're servicing but there's none of those wonderful little animations. A moment later the fire simply goes out or the deceased citizen is teleported to the hearse, and the vehicle departs. Bummer. Really seems like they made a worse game than the first one....

Kagi Small Web
How awesome is this! Reminds me of all the beautiful personal web sites we used to have and visit just for fun.

> Topics essentially works like this: rather than using cookies to track people around the web and figure out their interests from the sites they visit and the apps they use, websites can ask Chrome directly, via its Topics JavaScript API, what sort of things the user is interested in, and then display ads based on that. Chrome picks these topics of interest from studying the user's browser history. Isn't this completely immoral? They are literally stealing the users private browsing history and uses it to boost their own profits.

So Telegram took features from Instagram nobody really wants, and TikTok is going into messaging...

Chat Gpt now has ads in some responses
The Enshittification may have begun of this service too. I'm actually a paying customer myself of Chat Gpt, and I havent personally seen any ads. But it's bad enough if this is something that will start to appear in people's answers. Anyone else experienced this? Update: The reason for this was found and it wasn't the service itself that started doing this.

> Every image and video result in Brave Search is now served by Brave. Users no longer need to choose between Bing and Google for image and video search. This is pretty cool, no matter if you like Brave or not. Slowly and surely, many companies are helping to chip away at the monopoly of Google.
