- Comment on Tencent ‘Horizon clone’ pulled from stores as Sony settles lawsuit 17 hours ago:
Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony own robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.
This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 day ago:
I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 day ago:
Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.
They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stop being viable.
The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home for a fraction of the price with open source alternatives.
- Comment on Anon wants to make a movie 6 days ago:
This concept pops up in permutation city by Greg Egan. I don’t want to spoil it, it’s a great book.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 6 days ago:
Serfdom was two steps away from slavery. You didn’t own the house, you couldn’t sell it or even leave. Your payment for work was a piece of land you could use for subsistence farming. It differs from place to place obviously but it was much worse then “regulations say no pets”.
- Comment on How can we stop bots on the fediverse? 1 week ago:
Text wise, there is no way to tell anymore unless the bot fucks up, which happens rarely.
Image wise, I doubt someone has an automatic pipeline where a bot generates pictures on it’s own and posts them. What you are seeing are real people using AI to make their memes, or people who are enthusiastic about AI reposting pictures they find. Nothing wrong with that.
There’s also posting bots, which should be labeled as such but I guess most people don’t. It’s just a way to bring content in, I don’t really see a problem with this.
And there’s vote manipulation obviously.
All that to say that the first and last one are the only problematic ones since it’s used to manipulate and sway opinions. But there isn’t anything we can do the moment someone is mildly smart about it and uses a proxy service. Llms are simply too good at making themselves look like regular commenters. We could ask for ID for every user and cross reference with the help of governments to make sure it’s a real one, or have heavy and intense captchas, but who wants to do that?
- Comment on If your federal government cut internet access to your whole town then where in your town would you think that "the people" would get together to protest ? 1 week ago:
Access like internet and cellphone signal? If that’s happening, it probably means my little town is about to turn into a movie plot line and I am getting the fuck out of dodge.

- Comment on Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. 2 weeks ago:
Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.
Good news I guess.

From what I understand, ithe lights need to trigger at certain frequencies. Everything in the other comments still apply, but it would let trigger an episode in everybody.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 3 weeks ago:
A remove HUD options. I’d also like it if they put a big warning in the graphics section explaining how higher graphics can affect the game.
I see a lot of people bitching about lag, but if my shit connection and potato PC can run the game on low, I’m pretty sure the complainers need to reduce their expectations, accept that they don’t have a top of the line computer anymore and bring down their settings.

I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push on a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.

People got roped into a media campaign spear headed by copyright companies.

This is my main problem as well. I can still get to the same skill level I had, but if I stop playing for 2 weeks, I’m basically back to square one.

- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 4 weeks ago:

It seems like it started before 4chan. 4chan probably amplified it and helped spread it though. All the bad things either start there, or it’s users violently clutch and hang on to it until it seems like it started there.
That is were I heard it first though so you are right in calling me out. It’s been a while, longer then just a decade ago thankfully, but I spent a bit of my teen years on there. It really feels shameful to admit. Overall, just a gross place.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 4 weeks ago:
That’s really ignoring a mountain of history. Up until a decade ago, “there are no girls on the internet” was a common saying.
I just see it as a way to foster and encourage an under represented segment of the community. It feels completely valid when that segment is still often met with hostility from weirdos.

We learned he had a micro penis, a potent weapon against his neo-nazi fans. The value is already immense.

I like him enough as an actor to forgive the indiscretion if he had a change of heart. It seems there’s nothing past 2015, and I feel like he must have changed his opinion if he was silent about it during COVID.
Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, I haven’t looked past the wiki.

If it does the job better, who the fuck cares. No one actually cares about how you feel about the technology. Cry me a river.

- Comment on Soulja Boy is selling video game consoles again, and he's already being accused of ripping off an existing handheld: "He does not have permission to rebrand our products and sell them as his own" 1 month ago:
He was bred for war, but maybe he just likes to play retro games.

Here, we fight the resentment we feel about our divorces, and try to move past it.
- Comment on Is re-visiting a place of trauma a good idea? Have anyone done it? 1 month ago:
So take this with a huge grain of salt but maybe a half step would be having someone take videos of the location and then viewing those. It might help you get a feel for it.
I have know idea if this is a valid idea, mostly basing it off of vets wearing VR headsets a few years back to try and cure ptsd.

JD really likes the leather, I doubt he could control himself the moment he got close enough to smell it.

I would have called the waiter and blamed it on the kitchen. No suspicion and a free meal most likely.
- Comment on How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent? 1 month ago:
You need to figure out what fields interest you and then get qualifications for it. The lack of response might be a CV issue, have someone you trust look over it and give you pointers. It’s okay to lie and embellish on a CV.
