  I mean... they didn't specify it had to be random? But yeah, it's a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people..

  It might be a hot take but I think the bgm is actually the weakest part of the game. I legitimately play on mute and put something else on in the background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The hype is real. There's no microtransactions, no multiplayer, it's just about building the best deck with as many synergies as possible and getting the highest score you can. If you played Magic or even Inscryption, you'll feel right at home.

  The author does have a way with words lol. I love this paragraph in particular:

  As we speak, the battle that platforms are fighting is against generative spam, a cartoonish and obvious threat of outright nonsense, meaningless chum that can and should (and likely will) be stopped. In the process, they're failing to see that this isn't a war against spam, but a war against crap, and the overall normalization and intellectual numbing that comes when content is created to please algorithms and provide a minimum viable product for consumers. Google's "useless" results problem isn't one borne of content that has no meaning, but of content that only sort of helps, that is the "right" result but doesn't actually provide any real thought behind it, like the endless "how to fix error code X" results full of well-meaning and plausibly helpful content that doesn't really help at all.

  And he describes exactly what I have to deal with on the regular, "content that only sort of helps" that "steals your attention from the content you actually want." Even moving from Google to DDG has only mitigated this problem, it hasn't fully gone away.

  In the image they posted it says DALL-E 3, bottom right corner.

  I think more likely than Valve going under is Valve getting bought or going public. Both would result in the new owner (a megacorp in their own right, or greedy shareholders, respectively) turning the system into shit to squeeze more money out of it. And new DRM would be foisted onto the system regardless.

  Thank you for your thoroughly analytical take on the subject. Solid points all around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Workshop: New Quality of Life Workshop Features⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume you mean Paradox and Cities Skylines 2 mods. I worry when their mod manager finally gets released, it will still have a fraction of the features and QOL that Steam Workshop has right now. Epic Games learned the hard way that it is extremely difficult to spin up a new product and compete with a product that has decades of maturity.

  Thanks. I tried to post the original link but it just says "No posts." Weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube ads finally got me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  First, well I've been able to get ublock origin to just block the pop-up itself, YouTube now has some scroll event override that locks you to the top of the page. You can't view the comments or recommended anymore... Not that any value is lost there but still.

  Second, the pop-up triggers a "three strike" system where they won't let you close the pop-up until you disable ublock. That may be easy enough to defeat today, but if YouTube has already gone to these lengths to force you to watch ads, they may eventually stop loading videos altogether until you do.

  If you're interested in more memestock material, the man spouting merger conspiracy theories at two Gamestop employees in this video is the subject of an entire video by another creator, which Dan Olson retweeted. I'll warn you, this other video is also funny but much more disturbing. It reminds me of watching Terry Davis's vlog posts as he suffered from schizophrenia, it's definitely more uncomfortable and tragic.

  Would you be surprised to learn that the mods of those subs deleted the threads and banned Dan?
