Yep, and as always, the hardest working and least well-off are punished by a system that either doesn’t have them in mind or purposefully excludes them.
Would love to know shift-workers are expected to vote when they work 7-7 or whatever else. Night workers that sleep most of the day, etc.
The real concern is that with 8 million potential voters, NYC barely breaks 2 million.
This is why it’s always such a toss-up between fascism and normalcy - because too many people are complacent.
If that is how you feel about AI, then you would need to stop posting on social media and probably even stop having text conversations on your phone. Stop buying things online, stop watching YouTube, etc.
Every bit of virtual footprint that you have will, in some way, be used to train AI / machine learning / be sold for marketing purposes.
I don’t think stopping your life because AI exists is the right thing to do. Those ‘other artists losing their jobs’ would also be fuelling AI wiht this logic, so we should all stop making art?
Headlines always say, “Devastating blow for trump!”
And yet he and his administration continue to destroy the world like nothing happened.
The innocent civilians (and soldiers) on both sides who died for their rulers thinking they were heroes.
I’ll do it for £9!
On a rainy day in my old apartment, I liked to lie on the bed with the lights off and look outside the window. Something about watching the city pass by in the rain was just so peaceful, it would be the perfect desktop background…
Without fail, my wife would always walk in and ask, “Are you okay?” and turn the light on.
The left is always expected not to “sink to their level” and look where that has gotten us. The entire world is lied to, constantly, right-wing politicians are also constantly making claims about left-wing ones being nut jobs, being communist, being terrorists.
Right-wing people make claims like, being trans is a mental illness, or that trans people are dangerous, or that trans people are pretending to be trans to compete in womens sports.
The minute a left-wing politician stands up and says: “You are a fucking asshole” they are held to a higher standard. It HAS to stop. We HAVE to be able to talk back. If we keep being polite and taking the higher road, they will continue to RAILROAD us, because the forceful and outspoken seem to win the narrative.
Case in point: If AOC had said something nice and polite here, we wouldn’t be reading it.
I feel your response warrants quite a deep and philosophical response in return.
No reason to share my drawings
That depends why you were sharing them in the first place. It does suck that your content will be stolen and potentially recreated in the future - I have to ask, how do you foresee that affecting you?
Let’s go back to 2010, you share your drawings, some people see and enjoy them, and the world keeps spinning. Is that what you want to share them for, for people to enjoy them?
If that’s the case, then my question is: Why does that change if AI is scraping your drawings?
People will still see and enjoy your drawings, regardless of whether AI consumed them or not.
it will only be good to the AI corporations
Why will it only be good to the AI corporations? That implies that it wouldn’t be good to anyone anyway, in which case, there is no point posting them either way - but I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s good for you to share your drawings and get feedback, and it’s good for other people to see them. The addition of AI is a negative one, but it doesn’t remove the good, it just adds some bad.
That’s a great idea.
I think it would be a relatively easy problem to solve, I think being one-shot on the highest difficulty is expected, but making every enemy a damage-sponge is both anti-fun and poor game design.
Just change the scaling - damage scaling is fine as-is, health scaling needs to be drastically reduced. If a barbarian gets one-shot on the easiest difficulty, having it take like, five shots whilst also increasing the risk should be fine.
Skyrim and Oblivion difficulty is very stupid. If you change difficulty after playing a character for 100hr it isn’t so bad, but if you want to start out on the hardest difficulty, I’d say it’s actually impossible to play unless you have some kind of cheese tactic. Shooting a barbarian for like 1/100th of their health bar? And they one-shot you? What the hell kind of design is this?
Are there any good examples of AI in games that do the opposite of this? Off the top of my head, pretty much every game works like this, I imagine having every NPC having its own vision & memory would become very complex to manage.
It is a fine line, like in Minecraft durability obviously makes sense, so it makes sense that other games try to emulate that. But then look at Stardew Valley, one of the most popular mods is the one that stops fences from degrading because repairing them is tedious.
Everything detects VPNs. Reddit has an error screen I’ve never seen before about network activity when I use a VPN and I’m not logged in. YouTube refuses to let me watch embedded videos when I’m on my VPN. Many pages simply refuse to load.
That’s what makes it so good haha, I only have it as a treat thankfully it isn’t widely available in my country
1.5l isn’t available in my country, but if it was, I’d drink it in one sitting haha
Jarritos and it isn’t close. The Mandarin flavour. Mexican sugar is next level.
I also think Coke itself is ‘underrated’ I would go so far as to say it’s an elixir. Hungover? Need a pick-me-up? Just want a nice drink with dinner? It’s insanely good, probably why it got so popular in the first place. You can say the same for any sugary soft drink though.
That’s fair, we do have too many names for our small island.
If you stop viewing Jesus as a deity and start viewing him as just a really nice guy, and you ignore much of the rest of that book, then I think he is a good role model.
Strangely, all of the good things he said and did are ignored by the people that worship him.
Turn the other cheek - nope, let’s blow people up in the ocean just in case they’re doing something wrong.
Love thy neighbour, the story of the good Samaritan - nope, fuck anybody that’s not rich and definitely fuck immigrants.
