Even Bernie Sanders acknowledged on the senate floor that in a perfect world, where AI is owned by people invested in world benefit, moderate AI use could improve many people’s lives.

I don’t think you should make a claim like this while AI is being heavily subsidized and burning VC cash to stay afloat. The truth is whatever value it may add to such a society might actually be completely negated by it’s resource costs. Is even “moderate” AI use ecologically or economically sustainable?

You can ask the LLM the same question a hundred times and it might not give you the same answer it gave someone else. The way it responds is a combination of random chance and the language used to ask the question.

Same Rothschilds that are all over the Epstein files?

Edit: nope, it seems they’re unrelated.

You can self host stoat.

You don’t need to apologize. It’s a good game worth recommending as long as you don’t pay that guy for it.

They’re just doing meow sounds for the cats. It’s not even worth the controversy he caused by doing it. Could have literally recorded himself meowing as he suggested and no one would have known or cared.

The only reason I even checked out a game named “Mewgenics” was because it was Edmund. I put up with his (literal) shit in Isaac because both it and this game are very well designed from a gameplay perspective. Not gonna reward putting murderers, rapists, and genocidal zionists in a game about doing cat eugenics though.

humor of a twelve year old with the morals of a south park character.

I’d pirate Mewgenics if you’re interested in it. Dipshit edgelord author used Ethan Klein and Chris Chan for VO work in the game, then justified it with some lame centrist fence sitting. Incredibly tone-deaf response for a game literally named after eugenics, so fuck him.

All the executives invested heavily in AI because they’re easily wowed by things that look impressive but have no substance so they thought it was the next Big Thing. They want it to pay off so they can cash out and get rich(er).

the IP address is 103.224.182.241 if you want to try adding it to your hosts file to circumvent what appears to be a solely DNS-based block. or just change your DNS lookup server I guess.

It’s kinda funny that just stacking rocks is an efficient energy storage solution.

I helped write a browser extension for this game like 20 years ago. Last I heard it was rife with unmoderated Nazis. RIP

Getting in early means they get to raise them again when the tariffs really settle in. Tariffs have replaced inflation as the scapegoat.

Not a mistake, a demonstration and offer.

If you have any love for Hollow Knight you will probably enjoy Nine Sols.

Being a non profit doesn’t exclude you from getting investments. I’m sure the first on the scene leader of this wretched AI bullshit would have no trouble gathering whatever funding they need if they remained a non profit. The only thing this changes is how easily they can extract the profit from the business into private hands.

It sounds like they’re a hybrid between hydrogen fuel cells and a traditional battery. Here’s the most digestible explanation I could find of how they work, but I can’t really speak to the quality of the source. https://www.solarkobo.com/post/proton-batteries

It seems to be a semantic distinction. Likely done to distance it from hydrogen fuel cells since these don’t require infrastructure for the storage and transport of elemental hydrogen.

Why would they consider anything like that? they want China to be worse, not America to be better.

That definitely is the line we hear from CEOs when they raise prices, cut labor costs, and over monetize. Do you have any proof that production costs for games have gone up more than any other industry has? They pretty famously don’t pay game developers very well compared to other programming positions so I don’t know where this inordinate cost inflation would be coming from.

It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.

The major breakthrough here is a method for interfacing brain like organic tissue (that they had already developed) with electronic components. They’re using the brain tissue in a similar fashion as a neural network based AI and training it to relay signals to electronic components in response to certain stimuli, if I understood the article correctly; I skimmed quite a bit though.

Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.

you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”. at best its a feature that was being tested internally and never would have made it past that, at worst its something that went live early.

If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”

If you disable it you can prevent Microsoft from force updating your windows 10 install to windows 11. Obviously a play to get people to buy new hardware for 11 but a useful anti feature I suppose until you can stomach switching to Linux.

The game is like 90% content that I enjoy with a small annoyance I can skirt around by reading a few wiki pages. I come to these games for satisfying combat, not obtuse quest lines you can miss without precognition.

I’m of the opinion that not every company needs to expand indefinitely. Most things should probably just stay at a sustainable level.

they already generate revenue in an agreeable way. they have two methods of paying them: Nitro and Server Boosts. they made $440 million dollars of revenue in 2020 off this. if your business can’t find a way to be sustainable off of half a billion dollars then it probably doesn’t deserve to continue existing.

It’s not historical but medieval fantasy settings generally tend to be based around medieval European tropes. I guess I just assumed your problem was with period accuracy because there are variations in the accents. Karlach has a working-class accent, Asterion is posh, Shadowheart is middle class? british.

It could be more overt, I suppose, or incorporate more than just british regional accents, but I feel like they made more of an effort than you’re giving them credit for. I really disagree with any of it sounding like a theater troupe, though, save maybe Dame Aylin but that’s in-line with her character.

but it doesn’t even sound like shakespear or theatre it sounds like natural, maybe slightly RP, modern english accent. and didn’t say you are complaining, I suggested you would if they were talking in incomprehensible ‘accurate’ accents. even a period london accent would probably be tricky to grasp

its a bunch of english VOs doing their natural voices. if they adopted like a period-accurate cockney or something you’d be complaining about how they’re impossible to understand. actual shakespear would also probably be difficult to parse

It had made them over a billion dollars as of 2019

they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall

If they’re still playing OW2 then it’s pretty obvious that nothing Blizzard does will make them stop. The fact that they’re complaining about the price’s amount rather than the price itself is proof that Blizz already has them on the hook.

What I’m trying to say though is that most of them just do make their character a guy and move on. They don’t need the mod and the people who they think do need it aren’t going to install it. It’s not just a transparent attempt to ignite culture war arguments online, but it’s a stupid and ineffective one.

They aren’t really forcing their views on anyone though, they’re just jacking themselves off. No nonconforming person is going to download this and inflict it on themselves, and they have no reason to use it themselves unless they’re just really closeted and lack the will to not express their own nonconformity. It can literally only exist to rile people up who sought out the mod specifically, which includes only them.

Does anyone even install these mods or do they just exist for people to get outraged at?

It’s working fine on the client im using and I’m using the format buttons in the web-based editor. What syntax works on your guys’ end?
