  • Men Use Fake Livestream Apps With AI Audiences to Hit on Women

    Jump

  • The "thousands of people" watching your "stream" are bots. They can respond to what's going on in the video in real time because they're bots. Actually I technically think this would be more efficient and therefore is probably designed so that it's only one LLM pretending to be thousands of people, but I'll call it bots because that's easier to visualise. The bots know what's going on in the "stream" because they can understand what the "streamer" is saying, which means the pickup artist can put on a convincing performance to trick the mark. If it was just a recording, it wouldn't be able to respond to novel situations caused by the mark's behaviour.

    I don't actually know if this technology even works, but that would be the intent used to sell it to pickup artist bros.

  • "Maybe if I date someone who's famous, they'll have enough money that I won't have to worry about paying for medical bills or groceries anymore. Gee, maybe we could even buy a house and raise kids."

    We live in a capitalist hellscape where such things are no longer taken for granted, and are now associated with the heights of success.

  • For those who don't want to read the article but do want to understand what it's about:

    1. You download an app on your phone that makes it look like you're streaming to thousands of people
    2. You go to a bar and show your phone to a woman "look, I'm famous"
    3. The woman fucks you because she thinks you're famous or something

    The creator of this app is a misogynist scumbag who edits interviews with journalists to erase criticism and promote his app.

  • Alan Wake 2 Still Hasn't Earned Back Its Budget

  • As opposed to Epic Games which literally has a contract saying only they can sell the game on PC. I like how you're "opposing" monopolies by defending anticompetitive exclusive licensing deals.

  • isn't optimising the games extra costly?

    These days compilers can optimise it for the hardware mostly on their own.

    I can imagine the annoyance of getting bad reviews on steam because some Dingus is trying to play the game on a 10 year old PC.

    Yeah, that's the great thing about PC. You don't have to upgrade your hardware more than once a decade, and you can give feedback to games publishers that chasing ever increasing graphics trends is alienating their customers. You console gamers have to take whatever slop you're given, but us PC gamers don't have to worry about a publisher not supporting backwards compatibility, so we have more market power. We can apply greater pressure on the industry to apply pro-consumer business practices.

    Also, something like 30% of PC gamers pirate their games

    That's definitely not true. I wish it was.

  • I wish more games were small. Talos Principle 2 is 70 gigabytes, first one was more like 10. Bigger games is a problem for people in poorer areas.

  • Video games aren't a duopoly. There's lots of great indie games coming out. I just started playing The Talos Principle 2, which came out this year. Helldivers is from what I hear a smashing success, and Hades 2 is coming out soon!

  • Users on Lemmy think another person's feelings, if those feelings are in any way self-positive, are a direct and personal assault on themselves.

  • It doesn't work like that. The biggest danger of plastic waste is that it can release microplastics into our waterways and food supply. You can clean up tossed bottles, but you can't clean microplastics.

  • If there's a nuclear war I'd rather be using the decentralized, free to use mode of transport that is bikes. Or legs. When the war comes all the car drivers will run out of fuel in a couple days and have to steal it, but I already have a bicycle and cannot be stopped by the breakdown of society.
