Also, my quite human husband also voices his thoughts without a prompt. Lol. You only need to feed him to function, no internet required.
Sometimes, with humans, I’d say the problem is quite the opposite: they voice their thoughts without a prompt far more often than what would be desirable.
On a less serious note, that quoted part made me chuckle.

You are right, my main comment didn’t include this part. When I was talking to other users I developed the argument a bit more and I realized that my first comment didn’t convey my argument fully. While I was writing the first comment, it made sense in my head, but the reason why I considered it an awfully bad idea was not clear.

I’m trying to find an English source as the one I can offer right now is in Spanish. If i find another one, I’ll post it, meanwhile, this is my source: cadenaser.com/…/es-rentable-y-da-mucho-miedo-la-r…

It was more of an oddity. Right now, the numbers are not just “some random guy” but something in much higher numbers.

I’m not really sure these people fully understand what they are doing or they wouldn’t be doing it at all.
- Comment on Help. 2 days ago:
Exactly!!! The main problem is not the technology itself but who is in charge of it! Can we really trust one of those moguls to not turn these LLMs into something that ends up killing people?
- Comment on Help. 2 days ago:
Yes, yes. And yes.
But
Do you think openAI or Google, or X or whatever billionaire behind the AI involved in these “relationships” cares even minimally about the mental well-being of these people?
The problem is not just the dating an AI thing, but who is managing these AIs.

While I agree with your point of view… Do we really trust the present AI providers, in the present economic system, to not pull some bullshit that ends in extremely fucked up scenarios?
- Comment on Help. 2 days ago:
I heard about this in the radio the other day. People pay a monthly fee for an AI that becomes your “digital partner”.
The reasoning behind, according to them, is that the AI is less dangerous than a human partner because they can’t cheat, can’t abuse you…
And I can’t but wonder where did we took the wrong turn to end up here. Because while I can understand that people can go through some traumatic shit tha, would made them wary of the opposite sex, considering a machine your sentimental partner can only lead to some extremely fucked up scenarios.

It’s ok Microsoft, I already didn’t want to upgrade to Windows 11, you don’t need to keep convincing me to not upgrade to the next one after 11.

Oooohhhh so THAT’S what you use it for!!!
Silly me, using it to store greens and fruit when it was a marinating drawer… How did I not think of this before?i

And yet here we are, with games more expensive than 10 years ago and people spending less than 10 years ago. Seems strange, right?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
It’s for your own good. This way you can purchase the game separately and we keep the collector edition reasonable price tag.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
We need to keep the games affordable so they can spend some money in the microtransaction hell that is our store and that is basically mandatory if you want tr keep up the pace with the other games in the pvp mode of the game (the only one available, because we removed local modes since we believe that playing with friends
doesn’t make you want to spend on lootboxesis not as fun as playing with randos - Comment on 1 week ago:
You don’t have to, we can do it for you. Look: we just removed the game from your account so you can purchase the new one without regrets!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Oh gee! I wonder why is this happening?!
I guess we’ll never know!
Anyway, let’s release another copy-paste game at 90€/$ with 50€/$ in dlcs and another collector edition with some plastic toy for 300!

But… but… the secureboot requirement and the anticheat were supposed to make the game free of cheaters!!i

Only if you want the peasant option, the RealGamer™ edition starts at 100 plus dlc.

Trust me. They exist. If they get old enough to see the consequences of it, at 60, they have what doctors call “accelerated aging” and basically have the body of someone over 90.

It might be me, but I don’t use the downvote button as a disagree button. I reserve it for content that’s actually negative, such as spam, ai slop, insults/bigotry… If iI had to downvote every piece of content I don’t like/disagree with in lemmy, I’d pass most of my time here downvoting. You can just ignore what you disagree with.
- Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released 3 weeks ago:
I think some people use downvotes as a disagree button. They don’t like the idea of paying a sub for a launcher (I too find it stupid but that’s just my opinion) and use the downvote to let the world know instead of commenting or simply ignoring the post.
Don’t take it personally, and please don’t let the downvotes discourage you! Your posts are a breeze of fresh air content in a place where most content is just links to news sites.
- Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released 3 weeks ago:
They offer a sub! Ever dreamed of paying monthly to use an alternative launcher that does the same stuff than the already FOSS existing launcher? Now you can! 🤦
- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 3 weeks ago:
39yo here. People never believe i’m more than 30yo. I don’t think it’s a problem, rather something positive because I was lucky with genetics (and also didn’t wasted myself during my 20s).
The one thing I’d tell you about finding a partner is to look for someone who makes you happy. Maybe, other than that, consider where their mind is. I know I could date women under 30 and wouldn’t look physically “weird”, but would we be at the same point when thinking about work, future, family, etc? That’s way more important than looks when it comes to age difference.

For once I agree with the tangerine mussolini: paying for all copyrighted stuff is not doable, hence I pirate all of it.

Damn! No wonder I wasn’t having fun with Ubisoft games lately!
I’ve been pirating their crap out whenever they made a game I wanted to try and, I rarely played past the first hour! Now I see why! Since I was pirating and everything was unlocked for free, I couldn’t enjoy the player experience of spending money in their ingame store!
- Comment on Goddammit, what now? 4 weeks ago:
This happens mainly for two reasons:
- Dev pushed a shitty update/change and people are complaining
- An “influencer” discovered something “bad” (generally meaning woke) about the game and it’s asking to review bomb it.
