  • It's nice to see a household-name company standing up to a stupid conservative stance taken by their government, especially as a USian who was a nintendo kid.

    It doesn't make the soulless corporation GOOD (and I see they are getting the hate they're due) but it's still nice to see.

  • What's wrong with my dishes?

    Jump

  • Works fine in the model home.

    Git gud.

    Closed.

  • Damn it, I was just getting ready to sanitize my light year of lead and now I cannot find that damn thing.

  • Project 2025 creator wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans adults

    Jump

  • Wow, is it too much to ask that our big evil movements to dismantle decent society and drag us into fascism have some decent leaders??

  • ‘It was ready to kill and blackmail’: Anthropic’s Claude AI sparks alarm, says company policy chief

    Jump

  • Yeah, they seem to think we are like the drug addicts who will seek out the batch killing people with ODs because it must be strong.

    Should we tell them that the free first hit is supposed to make the user feel GOOD? Meh, let's watch how much money they can burn before it all crashes down.

  • Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy

    Jump

  • I mean, if you have enough hardware in the form of giant power-sucking data centers in every town, the latency could get pretty low! /s

  • Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert

    Jump

  • Oh touche, not Michael Woolridge! The technology has created an entire segment of the economy worth many trillions of dollars based on NOTHING BUT promises! We are living in a promise-based economy!

    /s but not really

  • The greatest risk of AI in higher education isn’t cheating – it’s the erosion of learning itself

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's a good point. They did a lot more work on their own needs, their surroundings, and their family/tribe. They did zero work grinding away at some mind-numbing task to make somebody else rich.

  • I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes

    Jump

  • RAG-AI doesn't place weight on some sources over others

    I had to smile reading this because doing that is why google exists.

  • In modern society it seems like our ideal use of technology is to insulate us from the natural world and get rid of the everyday tasks we have to do. If it adds to comfort and convenience, it's generally successful.

    But I think this is bad for our health. When you think about our hunter-gatherer ancestors, those are people who evolved to walk around the forest all day constantly being busy. We don't necessarily need the same sunshine, fresh air, exercise, and full range of sensory inputs in order to have fulfilling lives. But I bet that stuff is a huge help for the vast majority of us. Our privilege as modern humans is that we can pick and choose what we spend our time on, in the form of hobbies.

    Removing the process of learning is like the meta, higher-level version of removing the day-to-day work from our lives.

    So if AI ever gets that good to where we are fine not learning shit and trusting in the quadrillion-dollar black box, I hope that means we end up in the post-scarcity Star Trek future or else I fear it will only get worse from here.

  • ICE agents keep accidentally shooting themselves

    Jump

  • Felony murder is used like that all the time, for any death that they say results or was influenced by your lawbreaking.

    Unless it's something trivial, like storming the capitol of the country and getting a few folks killed along the way.

  • Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?

    Jump

  • Yeah, and you start AND end the game riding with other goats through the farm on a replica of the Skyrim prisoner cart from the meme.

  • Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it is a really good looking and really thoughtfully made game. If you have been a gamer for decades there are tons of references and jokes you will appreciate. I appreciate the Sweden references too. I'm an American but I've gotten to visit the real-world equivalent of Goatenburg.

    It is really good to play with a group that includes non-gamers or kids, because you can't really die but you can use overpowered abilities and items on each other and NPCs. It is damn funny.

  • I see the Postal series has gotten some mentions, but where is my Carmageddon Crew?

  • Goat Simulator 3 has up to 4p split screen co-op, and it's a big GTA-style sandbox game just loaded with hilarious stuff.

  • Kids

    Jump

  • Yeah that is a very good point, unfortunately. With the way the future of the internet is shaping up, identifying the grift/scam will be a necessary every day skill.

  • Vanilla Minecraft in creative mode is kind of like a big Lego set.

    My son has built entire amusement parks and schools and stuff. I have helped him with some of it co-op, but probably 3/4 of it he made on his own then showed me.

  • In my anecdotal experience, the more Trumpy conservative somebody is, the more they are already miserable and complaining about everything all the time. If things get objectively worse for them then they might not act any differently day-to-day. The only question is how far things have to go before they will blame the correct people, if that is even possible for many.

  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • Oh they do care, just in the wrong way.

    In the business world "benchmarking" basically means "let's copy what the successful people do, so that line go up"

    In their robotic, amoral view of the world, they see one of the most successful people on the planet (according to their definition of success) constantly spouting obvious lies and being surrounded by sycophants while getting elected twice and grifting billions and facing no punishments. Maybe if the tech CEOs get rich enough and their companies get important enough, they can join his club.

    Ohhh, and they must be how we get oligarchies!
