If I were on their developer team this shit would make me depressed for at least a week. Like, It’s an objectively horrible idea, obviously pushed by someone from marketing or (worse) leadership. An intern can tell you why it’s bad, a fucking llm can see it based on description alone.
Yet everyone have to live with it.

Fair enough :)

Steam has an algorithm feeding you game suggestions

Its almost as if a single dimension is not big enough to describe the diversity of human political thought.

I’ve resigned myself that this will be the state of memes in the future, but god would I take a paint doodle over this.
… only for ai to start drawing paint doodles because making an effort is not a human nature

Ya, its a mode! There’s like 25 of those. This game has a lot of content if you love the format.

Blursed doesn’t have difficulty choices iirc. It starts easy with some blessings, and becomes increasingly impossible with a mountain of curses.
I haven’t played since september though, should probably go checkout new patch!

I played hundreds of hours of blursed runs on my phone. My longest is 135 fights :3

I would love to discuss this with anyone that’s willing. If their government is as awful and fucked up as everyone says why does the average Chinese citizen generally have a better life than the average American in their respective societal totem pole (in cities specifically) ?
Because the social contract of 21st centuries authoritarian societies is “We give you prosperity, you engage with politics only through approved channels.” Punishment for dissent depends on how insecure the state feels right now.
On the plus side, the government cares about your prosperity. As long as it lasts, elites can divide power among themselves however they like.
On the minus – society doesn’t control its government (power transition happens by committee, not elections) and it can’t force any kind of change when elites are against it. Modern states have so much repression power, they can shut down any activism when they don’t mind bloodstains.

For art to be art you need space to express yourself through individual choices:
- play an original song on a real instrument, and you have the entire artistic spectrum to yourself;
- if you make the music for it out of individual pieces, you narrow that range. The sounds are not yours, only their composition and words;
- when you record a cover of a rap song over some elses beat, you further narrow it down to your performance only. Its still artistic expression, but to a much less degree than no original song;
In a prompt generated image, the image itself is not your expression. The prompt is, but compare the amount of choices you need to make with a painting over a prompt, and you’ll see how much less of an art it is.

You can give LLM some API endpoints for it to “do” thing. Will it be intelligent or coherent, that’s a different question, but it will have agency…
- Comment on Currently happening 6 months ago:
It’s a bad habit, to revolve your world around a single person. Desperation and lack of self-confidence is hella unattractive, in any type of relationship.
A mistake that I luckily did not make, ever, not once.

True, can’t think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 7 months ago:
Don’t tell the client what’s going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a “corner hack”.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 7 months ago:
I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?
Wouldn’t work on peer-to-peer and you’d have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.

From what I gather, asbestos is also very stable and not reactive. Asbestosis is caused by tiny fibers physically tearing your lungs.
It’s unlikely that plastic is as dangerous (we’d seen it by now) but its buildup can likewise cause some condition.
