Slightly different, but I stopped playing Rocket League not long after they abandoned all the cool weird arenas because it got boring playing exactly the same map with a different skin.
They standardised the arenas after listening to what the pro players wanted.
Project Zomboid is bloody fantastic! Have fun!
Got introduced to this a few weeks ago. The chorus absolutely blew my mind. 🤘
Fine dining and all that 👌
This is exactly what I was thinking. You wouldn’t need every new iteration. They’d be smart to do it in such a way that lets you upgrade it like you would do a regular PC as opposed to people throwing their old phones out just to get one that’s marginally better 2 years later.
Basically this
So… It’ll kill all humans!
He’ll be happy to let AI solve it until AI suggests we should eat the rich and distribute the wealth…
I’m subscribed to Prime because I order too much shit and want to save on delivery costs. Those little Amazon lockers are too damn convenient for me.
If I watch their content, it’s via my PC with an ad block. I stop watching their shit the day I can’t block their ads because fuck’em.
And that’s why I love it! “__ in G major” was a pretty common thing back in the day on YouTube. They all sound like this. Everything from mainstream music to Hotel Mario fell victim to G major.
I’ve watched enough YouTube to know I really want to hear the alphabet in G major now…
And yep, it exists and I’m not disappointed!
I think the common denominator for all these things are people. People are pretty terrible in large numbers behind anonymity.
Summer was hard on me in my teenage goth years.
Can’t really get many light shades of black.
Again remember that freedom of expression is freedom to not be punished by the government for that expression.
Private companies are not concerned with your freedoms.
Not saying I agree with how things are, just saying how it is. Only way to tell a private company to fuck off is to not use them.
Doesn’t need to be “intelligent”, it needs to be fit for purpose, and it clearly is.
The closest comparison you made was to the cyoa book, but that’s only for the part where it gives me options. It has to have the “intelligence” to decipher what I’m asking it and then give me the options.
The fact it can do that faster and more efficiently than a human is exactly what I’d expect from it. Things don’t have to be groundbreaking to be useful.
To be fair, it is useful in some regards.
I’m not a huge fan of Amazon, but last time I had an issue with a parcel it was sorted out insanely fast by the AI assistant on the website.
Within literally 2 minutes I’d had a refund confirmed. No waiting for people to eventually pick up the phone after 40 minutes. No misunderstanding or annoying questions. The moment I pressed send on my message it instantly started formulating a reply.
The truncated version went:
“Hey I meant to get [x] delivery, but it hasn’t arrived. Can I get a refund?”
“Sure, your money will go back into [y] account in a few days. If the parcel turns up in the meantime, you can send it back by dropping it off at [z]”
Done. Absolutely painless.
Imagine having to remove a bunch of shit just so you can use your OS. smh
Luckily, there exists an OS which undermines extreme enshittification. Can’t remember the name, though …
