Only individuals like Aaron Swartz are prosecuted criminally. Not a rich and powerful Israeli ally of course.

I literally don’t understand people having kids in this “climate”. That’s how cynical and hopeless I feel about humanity’s future.

I wouldn’t want to inflict that… The heat, the natural disasters, the risk of nuclear wars. The genocides considering multiple were or are active at any point (Palestine, Syria…). The fall of journalism…

Many things I discuss with my friends but nobody could ever dream to fix. So all this shit stays with you. And seeing how our politics are reacting to climate change, this is lost. Because everything else is pointless if you don’t have a place to live.

I usually don’t use lightly the word “scam” but in my opinion it was a scam at release. It was barely playable during the free WE I tried it. Even simple things like binding Keyboard keys wasn’t working properly. Flying an helicopter felt impossible despite hundreds of hours doing so in previous games. Full of bugs and far from any emblematic BF games. A terrible experience to the point I thought I had opened the wrong game on metacritic and just couldn’t believe we played the same game as these reviewers.

Now my hope is that DICE drops the license and some other studios tries to do something more authentic and polished. The recent Delta Force release despite its shortcomings makes me hopeful that other studios than EA/DICE has interest in this type of games.

Also Amazon EU I think is based in Ireland which is kind of a tax haven. We can’t even cooperate within the EU to prevent tax havens…

But the critics said it was a great game at release. Remember that IGN?

It’s at this point that I understood some big reviewers are mostly bullshit.

You didn’t even read my entire comment…

Read it entirely and you will see that this aggressive tone wasn’t necessary or justified.

What I find surprising in the debate about AI and hallucinations is that everyone points the fact that’s it’s very dangerous and it will spread misinformation… But the problem is the inability or unwillingness to fact check our information.

Nobody wants to fact check something they saw on meta or tik tok. Nobody will. There is no difference between someone trusting some random influencer and someone trusting an AI. They are both set to fail the same way. Both lack critical thinking.

Instead of being afraid of AI and hallucinations we should be investing massively in teaching the newer generations on fact checking and critical thinking.

IA is a great assistant but only if you can fact check it. If you can’t or won’t then it’s a terrible assistant that will set you up to fail.

To be clear, I also struggle to fact check stuff and I definitely was misinformed many times in the past. Nobody is really immune to that problem. IMO IA doesn’t change much about that problem.

Just realistic. The average PC player uses a lot steam and organize their gaming around that. My wishlist is also where I put games I want to follow and track their development. Sure they could have their own private forums or discord community but honestly they are missing out on visibility.

It is a fact at this point that steam wishlisting system helped tremendously some games to keep their inertia and hype going until release or early access.

Hmmm no steam page before release?

That looks like a blunder to me. I would have wishlisted that game on the spot.

If I remember correctly one of the oldest cats ever recorded was drinking a bit of coffee.

Although please remember that coffee is toxic to cats.

Playing a bit of a devil’s advocate here but you could argue that AGI used in science could help fix climate change. For example what if AGI helps in fusion energy? We are starting to see AI used in the quantum computing field I think.

Even though much carbon would be created to do bullshit tasks it only takes a few critical techs to have a real edge at reversing climate change. I understand fusion energy is quite the holy grail of energy generation but if AGI is real I can’t see why it wouldn’t help in such field.

I’m just saying that we don’t know what new techs we would get with true AGI. So it’s hard to guess if on a longer time it wouldn’t actually be positive. Now it may also delay even more our response to climate change or worsen it… Just trying to see some hope in this.

I’m a bit out of the loop but if I understand correctly Altman contacted Musk a few years ago to discuss AI. They decided to create OpenAI so there is an open source alternative to Google for AI.

Then Altman saw that there was too much money at stake and decided to just go for profit all the way?

So what do you suggest? Keeping the moral high ground, losing election and letting Trump and his goons “benefit the people”.

This is about choosing the lesser evil and picking politics that will stoop as fucking low as possible to be elected and then do very minor social reform to actually help Americans that are struggling.

Sure it will still fucking suck but I would argue a lot less than applauding the losing democrats congratulating themselves for keeping an entirely worthless moral high-ground. If that moral high ground had any fucking value to the average American they certainly wouldn’t have re-elected Trump. Even with disinformation they all know he paid a pornstar to hide his vices and yet it just didn’t affect the slightest his campaign. Morality has absolutely 0 value in your political system. It’s valueless for your justice systems (you can pardon anybody, supreme court judges elected for life), it’s valueless for politicians since they can do anything and get away with it. Your supreme court explicitly said that Trump can order the assassination of anybody and get away with it. Is this a moral high ground? It’s the posture of a dictator and it helped him get elected.

So I’d say keep your moral high ground and once this will be the last thing remaining to you, we shall see if you still hold the same opinion. I think you would think you should have fought dirty when you still had something of actual value.

I have no problem with that pardon. I applaud Biden for this and hope the Democrats will stoop as low as the Republican and use every trick in the book.

Pardon all your mates. Elect as many Supreme Court Judges. Encourage riots. Discredit opponents, never admit fault. Cheat everywhere you can.

If the Democrats don’t start playing that game there will ironically be nothing left to save.

Really Trump pardon much much worses crimes than this. If Trump could pardon the January 6 coup participants he definitely would have. And all the other Republicans would have followed in supporting it. Instead you get some dems taking the moral high ground and shitting on their own team. The Republicans are perfectly united in their lies. They tow the party line even when it’s a coup attempt.

Just the “the McConnell rule” on its own is a great display on how dishonest the Republicans are. Rules apply only if they benefit them. Why on earth should the Democrats play fair when their opponents cheat all the way?

Your political system doesn’t punish cheaters. So cheat.

Hello, I’m NVIDIA I send every app you use as telemetry. But you know it’s only to know in what apps your driver crash of course. I wouldn’t send that data to telemetry even when it doesn’t crash. Right?

I just wish Mark Rober would have used his incredible knowledge and skill in the space industry for something better than an elaborate CrunchLabs advertisement.

There is plenty of scientific endeavours that could benefit from his expertise.

Still the most respectful way to release a game is when it’s baked. Not some abomination that takes 5 years after release to hit it’s target.

I admire the perseverance but still they knew their game was lightyears away from being finished and they released it anyway.

If we accept studios releasing unfinished games as long as they fix it later on… That’s all we are gonna get in the future.

Is the DOJ the only working system in the US now?

Meh, sauces are not real. Do your own research folks.

Take that Big Sauce.

While I agree with you that some people are too thin skinned to handle some conversation online… Steam forums or YouTube comment sections are really the very worst of the worst.

If all you read is trash tier content on a platform even if you understand it, it still sucks and remain quite infuriating.

Basically, steam forums are mostly trolling so at this point it’s not about the sensitivity of people but rather that these platform are particularly bad.
