I haven’t played in a while, this is piquing my interest again! I love how vast this game is becoming, more major gaming studios need to follow their example when it comes to rehabbing a game that came out initially as the worst version of itself. Still haven’t even gotten to the center of the universe, I might try again as the path is really weird.

Big yikes, I hope they fail because this is a privacy nightmare to me…This bubble can’t burst fast enough.

I’ve gotten pretty far in the game before having to put it down for a bit, it’s a great game for certain! I do enjoy the level of detail in terms of how NPCs act and respond around Arthur. Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly a huge step-up in terms of quality from the original game.

I’m not particularly keen for GTA6 as those games tend to be off-putting for me (mechanically and story wise), I also hate driving in games…Unfortunately, GTA tends to involve a lot of driving.

Yeah, I amended my comment…I get overzealous when it comes to defending personal autonomy and free will.

As a young lad, I knew with certainty and after great contemplation how solid my desires were; one of mine was to never have kids, as I know myself well enough that I love my time alone and freedom to do as I pleased without being tied down by children. Other young men can know, if they are given the freedom and space to contemplate their decisions; to examine their thoughts and reasons for wanting to do something before committing to said decision. He’s an adult by law, as long as he has weighed the positives and negatives of this decision…It is his to make.

I don’t think it’s too young…If you don’t want kids at this point in your life and know that this desire to not have children will persist, get the vasectomy. Having to deal with an unwanted pregnancy is far more of a hassle than getting a vasectomy! Based on what you’ve said, it seems like you’ve thought about this enough to make the decision.

Good, they needed to have sense knocked into their incompetent heads. This was such a big price hike in such an economically uncertain time. Thankfully, consumer outrage was strong enough to convince them to lower it back to a price that I still consider too high. I miss the $60 dollar price tag. 🥲

ROFL Pathetic for the Department Lead to not even check if the slop was correctly generated! This person should’ve been laid off, but, somehow survived the unnecessary layoffs. Just because Microsoft wanted to burn money on AI, risk a lot on something that doesn’t actually generate meaningful profit. Tragic, and I hope it hurts them badly.

Yeah, it’s total clickbait, but I didn’t think it would be bare minimum decent to include actual information (admittedly too late at the end). I couldn’t be bothered to give them the view, I ended up hiding the source channel because it was pumping out a lot of slop and clickbait.

I’m not particularly excited about this upcoming dumpster fire…Already took it off my Wishlist.

The video itself looks like slop with a bad title…However, there is an article that is discussing a theory researchers came up with: Something Weird Happened to Men 7,000 Years Ago, And We Finally Know Why this article provides a link to this paper: Cultural hitchhiking and competition between patrilineal kin groups explain the post-Neolithic Y-chromosome bottleneck

We’ll never know the real cause, as there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding these types of finds in human DNA; the definitive evidence has long been lost to the ravages of time. At best there is room for speculation and no concrete answer to be found.

A fool is ever eager to give their money to that which doesn’t work as intended. Provided the surrounding image provides a mystique or resonates with their internal vision of what an ‘AI’ is. It’s pure marketing on their part, Anthropic believes that any press is good press. It makes investors drool over a refined AI, even though, Apple themselves have proven it through their many technical papers current AI is merely ‘smoke and mirrors’ however…For some odd reason, they are still developing their ‘Apple Intelligence’. They are huffing farts just as much as Anthropic is, they have to constantly pull stunts to gaslight their investors into believing that ‘AI’ is going to become a viable product that will make money. Or allow them to get rid of human workers, so their bottom line looks flush (spoiler alert, they have to rehire people, as AI can’t do many of the things a live person with training can).

There reason why this shit is shoved in everything is because it doesn’t have good general use cases and the collection of usage data from people. Most people don’t give money to AI companies, only those who have drank the Kool-Aid do, as they are hope-posting and gaslighting people into believing the current or future capabilities of ‘AI’. LLMs are really great at specific things, collating fine-tuned databases and making them highly searchable by specialists in a field. However, as always the techbros always want to do too much, they need to make a ‘wonder tool’ that inevitably fails and then these lying techbros need to quickly figure out the next scam.

Another Anthropic stunt…It doesn’t have a mind or soul, it’s just an LLM, manipulated into this outcome by the engineers.

I’ve always had a stove top kettle, there was no reason to boil water in the microwave for tea. Up until a few years ago, I did not have a microwave. I prefer the even temperature of water boiled in a kettle.

I do! Being reasonably accurate as possible when typing is something that I value! It helps, as sometimes I am a goose on the loose, and don’t proofread my sentences before posting. The obvious errors are at least caught before they become final.

They are flooding the zone, there are countless pro-AI generated content instances. It’s like playing whack-a-mole, I often downvote obvious and human-altered slop (it’s all slop to me). Unfortunately, there are going to be images that have positive votes despite the general dislike of said AI-slop, especially because I tend to block those slop instances these days. Naturally, most of it is objectifying women (something I don’t want to see anyway) so those will naturally get a lot of votes because people weren’t thinking with the right head.

Whimsical
