Maybe they should move GDC somewhere less terrible for a couple years. Let Japan have it or something.

The main issue is you'll never get the cretins that use it off it. Communities.. they're just sitting there burning the library of alexandria.. all the esoteric knowledge they're "putting on discord" is just gonna vanish.

over a billion in vc funding and discord is as shit as it is.

Did.. Did he just try to shake the pope down?

Literally seen more whining about politics than I've seen politics.

TIL Lenovo is Fujitsu

What the fuck kind of AI slop is that fucking train

Why are they flying horses, jesus, just pick up a rental horse at the destination.

Arch is kinda more like looking at a catalogue of parts.

Endevour is the same catalogue of parts, but with a flier inserted with a "recommmended loadout" where you can just check some boxes and get whatever it was you wanted, but the doors there to sawzall the trunk off and attach a cargo box if you want.

If you look at OS on steam its about 3%, but filtered for English, its 7% in that market.

Its kinda on its way there already in some markets.

Can we stop forcing the unemployed to interact with it, please

I go there and I start making fun of AI chuds. It keeps adding more suggested chuds in my feed.

Its by design, I swear. They don't have anywhere to run any of this gear, its all piling up somewhere.

Either that or it doesn't exist and what we're seeing is price gouging based on hypothetical demand based off of "letters of intent" that aren't actually worth the paper they're written on.

I think its the latter.

If needed? No, do it now. Break the addiction to the US tech sector.

Single point of failure for the whole internet.

Worth the read, and Chuck must be protected at all costs.

Capital Scum doing capitalist scum shit.

May I also strongly suggest The Culture Series.

It answers the "what if the (real) AI singularity happens" but instead of the typical "and then we all die" its just that the Minds are actually just cool with us. And I realised after about 4 of the books that the humans are like pets for this curious hyper-intelligences that kinda enable the humans to become better people, if at the loss of some cultural identity.

The Culture is The Borg, but you want to join them because their shit is dope. The luxuries and comforts of The Culture leading to the demise of other societies as they absorb in.

It also explores a lot of interventionism (or when not to) in some of the stories. One is a short story set at the time of the cold war. Which is interesting since earth barely ever is relevant in The Culture novels. Its just another backwater that has pre-spacefaring humanoids on it.

It explores a lot of quite dope concepts, and the visual imagery of the destruction of Vavatch Orbital, and down in the tunnels on Schar's World happening in Consider Phlebas.

The realisation I had a few days later that it went past me that the god that inhabits Schar's world wasn't even the one to create it, this god-like-being is like a hermit crab and just wants to be left alone.

The way that seeing space from a starships perspective was described in Excession when one of the humans is basically given Meat Fucker/Grey Area's perception was dope.

Its some damn strong good scifi with hopium undercurrents even while entire societies perish (willingly, intentionally). As VR simulations of sentient life is created to give societies a real hell to send people to. As people live and die whole lives inside the VR hell to break in and then break out to prove its existence to bring about its destruction. The unsettling creeping sensation of realising you're in a simulation, but not because the simulation is imperfect, but because at the bottom of your vision, in big block red letters, it reads "SIMULATION". Or in a moment where we're looking through a soldiers eyes as we slowly realise he's a human mind re-bodied into a turret during a simulated battle. Or later, when the same soldier is squeezing through the cracks in between grains of sand and rock as an amoeba.

I was also high as fuck while reading a lot of this series.

I could espouse its praises for hours, but it would be quicker to read the novels.

None of the AI providers have customers. They're all selling to OpenAI.

I got booted because:

1. I said Peter Thiel should be turned to soup

2. I said Th-iel should be turned to soup

3. I said that I had previously been given a suspension for saying Peter Thiel should be turned to soup.

So now I'm redditless.

There's this thing called "the dark" and this thing called "a reflective bit on the cone"

Its better than not having it.

My thinkpads have always gone further on ubuntu than on windaz.
