You need to dig deeper of how that "reasoning" works, but you got misled if you think it does what you say it does.

"Anyone managed to get around this?"

So, from what little research I did the robots cost from 5000$ to 500000$, as most articles point out the advanced robots cost 200000-300000$. In a lot of places around the world that's like paying a human for 8-10 years. Humans are easily "replaceable", where those robots have maintenance cost additional to the initial "investment". How is that feasible in the eyes of the big money oligarchs? I genuinely don't understand the end goal here.

I think we are too far gone... If you can't do it with all the free weapons you have on hand, how do you think it's going to work in Europe? America and the rest of the world is equally screwed. Maybe some 3rd world countries will be fine as they have greater issues than "some" privacy concerns:)

Ban it .. there is a place and time for machine learning, but it's not art in any shape or form!

Yes, but think about the money in mobile and console gaming.... PC gaming was niche even before that and we represent very small percentage of the overall gaming industry. Nobody gives a fuck about us since some time already. Now they just show it to us in daylight.

The hardest part is to start...

Don't you worry, they will make a hard cap for you and me, but politicians, billionaires, CEO, etc. will be excluded from that... People just need to watch all the anti-humans participating and speaking at the World economic forum, which is unofficial world changing platform that nobody had elected to do so, just because they are rich and powerful. Those anti-humans need to be separated from their heads.

When I started 3 years ago I was distrohopping almost every week... For gaming on Nvidia+Intel combo - arch Linux distros with kde is where I found peace... Started with endeavouros and now I use cachyos with kde plasma. Both are quite good. I have installed limine+ Snapper and this does system snapshot on each update. Never needed it though and every time I am updating irresponsibly. Gl, install any Linux.

Do you think they care about the environment? They will just extract the water and dump the salt back in the environment killing and displacing most creatures and plants from there.... Rich people (some exceptions maybe*) don't care about other people or the environment.

I haven't played it in the last year or so, but it was working quite fine under EndeavourOS without any tinkering. Maybe it's a distro thing.

While you have a right, I don't agree with your statement. It is literally written at the front of most chatbots that they they can make mistakes and are for entertainment purposes only, but people still go and off themselves or spiral into psychotic episodes.

So something needs to be done obviously and it is not the age verification that they are trying to push.

I was also thinking the same, but they don't really need to enforce it proactively. By making it "illegal", they can just pick up people they don't like and force them to unlock it. If they don't - believe it or not, straight to jail. Basically what is happening now in many countries, but legal.

Nah... Worms need to eat too...

I have edited my post. Check if that works for you as well please.

Check my edit and report if that works for you as well please.

I agree with you that niche is not the correct word here, but comparing the market share to console and mobile we are like 20-25% of the gamers. That is relatively small in my opinion.
