6 months agoAh, that makes some sense. Would still like more control over if it appears at all, but I’m glad to know it’s at least not intentionally that glaring.

51·7 months agoIt’s seriously pathetic how big and shitty he tries to act around US allies, but he bends over backwards to praise antagonistic countries and straight up dictators. He’s so transparent.
As far as I can tell it’s comments made within the last
510(?) minutes or so.
22·7 months agoThis tech is going to completely derail communication and discussion in modern society and all people here are talking about is how weird they look or how it’s “the same” as news already. That’s…not great.
yes…“hilarious”…
I’m not sure what idea I hate more: Blank faced puppet cg reporters reciting horrible events, or cg puppets acting sad about their reports. Both are just…not fun.
NFTs sucked hard, but this is Fake News on ketamine mixed with steroids. Maybe not this channel, but it’s gonna be a thing. This is wild.
Might even be able to adjust the “facts” they say, given a malicious enough company.
The deepest of ironies in a company allegedly made to report “facts”, primarily using artificiality to do so.
Even if they are completely earnest and honest, the tech they are helping spearhead is going to completely change how information is approached and will be one of the biggest challenges, if not the biggest challenge, we are going to face as a society in a long time. This is really unnerving to watch develop in front of my eyes.
“More efficient” in that there is zero point to be opposed by anyone else down the line. While it’s not like we’re getting a lot of resistance from media workers all the time right now, real people are going to have a breaking point if things go too far in some direction. Now all executives will need to worry about is appeasing an audience, and with robot reporters that will say anything and everything, that’s not a problem in the slightest.

I’ve half played more games than I’ve finished, but I had a decent enough track record this year, mostly with indie games. In no particular order:
Collapsed to not take up too much space
-
Hollow Knight - Was a replay, but I got all the way to the Complete Soul achievement, which I’m proud of.
-
Deathloop - Interesting game. I really enjoyed the Groundhog Day style mechanics and had fun achievement hunting.
-
Pineapple on Pizza - Not much of a challenge to finish, but it stuck out to me as an interesting play. Very short, interesting game.
-
Kingdom Eighties - Bounced of the other Kingdom games for various reasons, but this one really caught my interest. The 80s aesthetic and “Kids fighting monsters” story really appealed to me.
-
Beholder 1 & 3 - Interesting games. Didn’t enjoy 2 enough to finish it.
-
Dead Rising 4 - After hearing so much hyperbole about how bad this one was, I decided to finally get around to playing it and, while it was definitely not as interesting or fun to play as DR 2 for me, it was fine. After reading up on some of the dev history behind it, its foibles are pretty understandable, imo.
-
Marvel’s Spider-Man & Miles Morales - Fun games. I have my own complaints about them here and there, but having been a huge fan of the PS2 Spider-Man 2 game, I’m just happy to have a modern web slinger game in an open world. Eager to play the sequel if it ever gets ported to PC.
-
Dredge - Fun little indie fishing game. Short, but just long enough for my attention span with games.
-
Dave the Diver - Same comments as Dredge, with the additional critique that, while the plethora of mini-games within it are interesting, some feel like they’re just there to add more onto it. Interested to see what the Dredge combo-DLC entails.
-
Resident Evil VII - Not usually a fan of horror games, but this one toed the line just enough to not over-spook me out of it. Having seen some playthroughs, I wasn’t too surprised by anything, but it was fun to playthrough myself.
-
Factorio - Put this one off for a long time because it looked too “technical” to appeal to me, but I decided to give it a shot as a different kind of survival sim and got hooked. I didn’t go too deep with it, but I did finish the story missions and might hop back in when the big update comes out, which looks interesting.
-
Power Wash Sim - “Completing” it is a bit of a stretch, but I did finish all the missions. Interesting, mindless little game. Funny to say that I enjoyed a cleaning game, hah.
-
Pikmin 4 - Never had the chance to play any of the other Pikmin games, but I did enjoy this one. My only real complaint is that, for a game that has the player unlocking abilities up to the very end, it could really do with a New Game+ mode because all that effort felt like a bit of a waste since there’s not really anything to do after getting everything unlocked.
-
Grounded - Played this one while it was in beta and thought it was pretty neat. Decided to give it another go now that it’s complete and really enjoyed it. Fun little crafting-survival game with surprisingly complex combat. Probably not a great game for anyone that’s doesn’t do well with insects.
-
LotR: Return to Moria - More intrigued by the setting than anything, this game was fine enough. To be honest, the gameplay wasn’t particularly great and it had so many bugs, but I did finish it through all of that.
-
Heretic’s Fork - For a combo of genre’s that I generally just avoid (deckbuilders and tower defense), this was pretty enjoyable. Not a super long game to get through, and good to just hop on and get a few runs in.
-
Ethics never enter the equation. The highest priority in business is capital, and any company at the level of Netflix follows that maxim religiously. They may be seen following progressive trends, but any good they end up doing only stems from it being profitable to do so.
In other words - no, companies have never not been soulless, and it serves us well to always remember that.
5·7 months agoAren’t all blocked instances listed in the “Instances” button at the bottom of every Lemmy page? You won’t get a detailed explanation, but you can see what you can’t see at least.
Dude, get out of here with that BS.
Depends how it’s done. GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) training works with exactly that, having networks train against each other, each improving the other over time.
I guarantee the vast majority of gold rewards will be going straight into Reddit’s pocket. The contrived requirements to get a payout are designed to keep as much of it for themselves as they can, while still saying it’s “possible” for users to get some of the money for themselves.
Afaik, it’s multiples. So it goes 2 gold, 3 gold, 5 gold, etc. This means nothing to the vast majority of users, but a tiny minority may possibly get some of that money passed onto them if they fulfill Reddit’s myriad of requirements to be part of the “Contributor Program” .
It’s not. I think I’ve encountered maybe one person that uses that word correctly (and to be fair, it’s a really dumb word for what it’s supposed to mean). Literally everyone else just uses it because it has the word ‘shit’ in it.
If no one answers, they’re not spending minutes, are they?
