  • Ok but what about the conspiracy theories which are the truth

  • Facts

    Jump

  • I guess I'm not totally sure, I know Oblivion used a bunch of procedural generation and I assumed Skyrim did the same.

  • I'm biased having played Morrowind first, but I'd argue it's way better than its sequels in a lot of ways, so people are definitely missing out to skip it. The whole game world is hand crafted rather than being procedurally generated, the writing and worldbuilding are better, there was obviously a huge amount of work that went into building the RPG side of Morrowind that felt missing in later games.

  • Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job?

    Jump

  • I don't want to make accounts on lots of sites and search all of them every time I buy something, so I think of it like a convenience fee if the way an ebay package is wrapped implies the seller arbitraged it from elsewhere.

  • I don't know how much has changed since I was doing it, but the main trick was to get the tasks associated with academic studies that were typically higher paid, by using a sniping bot to grab it before others could. So that way you get paid around minimum wage instead of a small fraction of that (if you also cheat by doing multiple tasks simultaneously and hiding it). Though tbh the situation is probably worse now since there have been all those funding cuts to academia.

  • Anthropic Exec Forces AI Chatbot on Gay Discord Community, Members Flee

    Jump

  • i hate to break it to you but Discord the company is sending everything that goes through all servers and all private DMs through LLMs: this is done as a part of their trust and safety system. it's right in the privacy policy that they use OpenAI

    This is a good argument, but more for not using Discord than it not mattering if they put in a chatbot nobody wants.

  • TikTok signs deal for sale of U.S. unit after years-long saga

    Jump

  • I found this: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/has-tiktok-implemented-project-texas

    USDS will house TikTok teams that access U.S. user data, access TikTok’s software code and back-end systems, or moderate content on the platform. By design, it will replicate several of the core functions of TikTok’s global business. For instance, it will have a separate human resources team that will be responsible for hiring and managing U.S. personnel. Additional teams housed in USDS will include engineering, user and product operations, privacy operations, trust and safety, legal, threat detection and response, and security risk and compliance.

    Oracle Cloud will host the TikTok platform in the United States, including the algorithm and the content moderation functions. It will be responsible for monitoring data flowing into USDS and out of USDS to ensure that no data illicitly transits the USDS boundary. All U.S. data traffic will be routed through Oracle Cloud.

    This was from 2023 but has something changed since then to mean it won't be hosted or run from the US? Is there a reason to think these claims are false or misleading?

  • Wiz Khalifa sentenced to nine months jail in Romania for smoking cannabis on stage

    Jump

  • "Given the defendant's wealth and connections, Romania's lack of real negotiating power on extradition, and the legal and political status of cannabis in the US, it is highly unlikely that Wiz Khalifa will be sent to serve a prison sentence in Constanța, even though a formal judicial request will be submitted to the United States," Mr Zaha said.

    Oh good

  • When The Internet Grew Up — And Locked Out Its Kids

    Jump

  • For many young people, social media platforms are not simply entertainment. They are places of learning, authorship, peer support, political awakening, and cultural participation. They are where teens practice argument, humor, creativity, solidarity, dissent — often more freely than in offline institutions that are tightly supervised, hierarchical, or unwelcoming.

    Very much this, age gates are a horrible idea and this is one of the reasons. My biggest problems as a teenager were isolation and lack of agency and the internet was a small reprieve from that I really needed.

  • Why do commercial spaces sit vacant?

    Jump

  • This whole premise seems pretty scammy. The owner isn't paying for the property with their own money, the bank is mostly not using their own money as it was newly created by the loan, but they both get to share in the value of what was bought with it, just because they are a bank and a rich person. But now since the factual and legal premises of the loan are turning out not to be true, they collude with each other to hopefully keep it anyway if circumstances change.

    This just isn't a good system for deciding who gets to own buildings in important locations to begin with. Even if everything had worked out and rents were kept at market rate with active businesses operating out of the building for the full duration of the loan, that's still a bad outcome because it means that the wealth disparity that is the core problem of our society has gotten that much worse, and the beneficiaries weren't even really limited by their own capital.

  • can learn how to be rejected without getting violent, or even mildly annoyed, anyone can. The reason people don’t is because they don’t want to

    it’s because they’re pieces of shit and it reflects on their personality, and no one likes people who have a shitty personality

    Rejection makes people feel bad as a rule. That's not an excuse for treating others badly, and there's ways to learn to have a healthier mindset, but I think it's worth mentioning that it's ok for people to at least feel the way they do and that having the "wrong" emotions in response to things doesn't make you a bad person. It just means you might have to work harder to make sure to treat others with decency.

  • I like the translate feature, just make all the AI stuff local and I'm fine with it, though if not I hope

    AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.

    is a commitment they take seriously.

  • In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.

    Chilling. Which of our devices are actually Israeli remote controlled bombs?
