Money laundering?
- Comment on Anyone played Punk? 1 day ago:
This makes sense as a way to think about it. This game probably does shift the balance a little away from micro in various ways, for instance there’s some autoaim, and usually ways to cheese boss fights a little so you don’t have to do precise dodges

I’ve been playing with mouse and keyboard, but I just checked and it works with a gamepad

Not a lot, as far as I can tell? I’m more expressing doubt than making an argument. You are claiming you know they do exist and what defines them, but I don’t see reasons to be confident about that.

I hear what you’re saying, that at a certain level of wealth the power hierarchy becomes about seniority, and I don’t know that it’s wrong, but I’m not sure what reason there is to believe it either. Certainly people like elon musk are not all powerful, but what does that really say about the state of things when it would be hard to point to anyone who gets everything they want on a level beyond that?

Are you saying tech oligarchs don’t have as much desire or ability to control people’s lives and prevent threats to their power?

I wonder if there’s some way to corroborate that or they made a statement somewhere
- Comment on AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see 1 week ago:
I don’t like the OP banner much but I do like this one. There’s something really compelling about the abstract take older image models had on video game environments.

I figured it’s a watermark but it’s very confusing because it looks like part of the content and is incoherent if interpreted that way
- Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know how the lemmy version of that sub works but I subscribed to the reddit version for a long time and it seemed uniquely dependent on very effortful expert moderation and involves removing a lot of highly upvoted comments, very intimidating task to take on.

Really like this one, very evocative
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 2 weeks ago:
One of my first exposures to the internet was in school, a teacher plugged a computer into a telephone, it made weird noises, then we waited five minutes to load a website with facts about frogs, I’m pretty sure he had to type in an ip address that was written down on paper. Later I printed out videogame walkthroughs at the library. It wasn’t really until after Y2K that I really started using its more interactive features.
- Comment on What happened to us Pirates? We used to sail the web and never even thought about reprecussions just sharing. Now it seems like it costs to be a pirate like a VPN and such. WTH happened? 2 weeks ago:
It basically means you need a VPN to torrent because if you rack up enough letters they might shut off your internet, but there’s a big distinction between those letters and a lawsuit, they are way closer to just a scare tactic. Their text suggests a lawsuit might be a followup possibility, but that isn’t really true.

One thing I think is worth mentioning (US specific), there was a period in the 2000s with a lot of prosecutions, but then industry groups switched tactics to pushing ISPs to do enforcement with mass copyright letters, and ceased actually bringing lawsuits against small pirates for the most part. People are normally more worried than they need to be.

So what’s the reason? They are not consistent enough and changes in light/heat output would kill any life that arose?
- Comment on Why do I lose my temper if I'm blocked from a community or by a user? 4 weeks ago:
Being silenced hurts, rejection hurts. Whatever you were hoping for by writing in that space, whoever you were trying to communicate with, you can’t do it anymore, whatever part of yourself you invested in it, you lose. It does matter and it’s fine to let yourself grieve that loss.

Some games can take 10 years to make, someone should start now
- Comment on Why is AI dialogue so fucking bad? 5 weeks ago:
Because all of the funding is going towards making them more competent at following instructions and not being offensive to corporate sensibilities, and making an AI model good at those things makes it worse at producing creatively interesting text. There are models that are attempts at retraining to be better at that, with limited success. I think there just aren’t a lot of resources being devoted to improving this area.

Shouldn’t it help that it separated them out with underlines? How does this text break down in terms of tokens?
- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 5 weeks ago:
It’s a great game, doesn’t pull punches with its social commentary and actually has something to say. If you don’t play it you should at least listen to the soundtrack which is amazing on its own.
- Comment on So Lemmy, what are your thoughts on Mixtape? 5 weeks ago:
I watched most of a playthrough of it. I don’t agree with most of the criticisms people have that are about disliking the characters and their motivations, and a lot of things about it seem competently done, but what I don’t like about it is how it comes off as a pandering corporate slop take on a certain kind of indie game. Maybe people should play games like Night in the Woods before this.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 1 month ago:
Why should it make your life worse? It could, but that shouldn’t be the assumption. The older I get the more I value any memories I can feel the same about now as I did back then, because most of it fades into nothing, only the most intense emotions have staying power. What you hate defines you just like what you love defines you, grudges are important for holding on to your humanity.
Of course it’s good to come to terms with things, and therapy helps, but I strongly object to the idea that the mature thing to do is entirely let go of old resentments and never share them, the opposite is true.

Therapy is no substitute for well earned grudges
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft To Shift GitHub Copilot Users To Token-Based Billing, Tighten Rate Limits 1 month ago:
Does that mean you think there is no difference ethically? Have you thought about what corporations like Microsoft are going to do with the power they are accumulating here? Regardless, it’s worth considering that from the perspective of a programmer who is looking to incorporate AI into their work and learn to rely on it, there are risks with using these services that work against their interests, and that’s true independently of any ethical considerations.

It’s funny that instead of imagining finding people who are actually into that, anon defaults to the frog boiling manipulation approach
