The vending machine from cyberpunk was pretty cool but this seems like its cognitively challenged ancestor lol.
I’m getting really tired of AI everything. So far AI hasn’t seemed to make my life any easier or better. I have to try and over analyze everything I see now which isn’t fun. But yeah. Wish it would actually do something for me instead of make some billionaires richer.
I’ve been personally wondering about these laws. I am thankfully in a place that doesn’t require them yet. But I assume that some asshole somewhere is going to want our data and say “wow that sounds like a great idea.”
My assumption is that i would feed false data to bypass if possible and then say fuck it and not use whatever service it is if I don’t really need to use it. If I do need to use it and have no choice, then I guess I’m SOL and will have my data breached at some point because none of these services seem to know how to lock down their shit properly.
Sorry for the frustration lol. I just think this kind of thing is stupid and a way to steal info or watch people. I don’t think this is genuinely about safety or helping children. Especially with the latter it always seems governments throw in a bundle of laws along side any “protect the kids” laws so that they can fly under the radar while screwing people over.
I’ve been humming and hawing over if I should get this game.
My assumption was that people would play friendly or cooperate more in the early days, and then straight PVP would take over quickly. Is this the case?
The reason I assume this would happen is that there’s very little incentive to take the risk to cooperate when you could end up getting shot in the back and have your loot stolen.
The game sounds like if you were to try and min max, your best option would be to manipulate others to take advantage of any good will. Eventually, people would stop working together and just go straight to PVP as cooperative play would become too much of a risk or a waste of time.
Edit: I also don’t know how to incentivize people to play with a variety of playstyles. If they want cooperation and spontaneity to be a feature in the game, I feel like they would need to have some kind of incentive to make people play in a variety of playstyles. Otherwise, people might just completely gravitate to straight pvp.
Again I could be completely off the mark as I haven’t actually played the game, just watched others play it
I believe the Truck companies think people just want larger and larger trucks every year. I’m waiting until everyone is just driving monster trucks at this point lol
I started to think of something but…I don’t really need anything. It’s very nice of you to do this for others. Happy holidays
I recently saw this video that was an interesting slap back to reality. I hope this AI bubble pops quickly. Sooner the better
I do wonder what comes next for average people. I used to think a UBI would solve the world’s problems, but now I believe it would be just used as a method of controlling the general population. We’re a ways off yet from everything being replaced by this garbage, but when the time comes, I’m nervous about what will happen.
Just finished Metroid Prime for the first time. It was really cool. Not sure how I feel about backtracking in metroidvanias, but I really enjoyed the world and the various bits and bobs of lore.
Pokemon typing and attack types are the most important thing. Water is good against fire etc etc. I think that’s the main thing at least! I wana go back and finish pokemon X one day. I tried grinding for a special evee and I burnt myself out before I finished the actual game lol
I tried this a few years back, and while I enjoyed the concept on paper, in actual practice, I found it frustrating.
The main issue is I have no idea if someone is cheating. As much as something like a kill cam would ruin the immersion, it also would give me reassurance to know that the game is still fair.
I want to give it another shot one day and just try to accept that I have no idea if people are playing fairly lol.
I wana see how this plays out. NYC is an experiment that I can’t wait to see pan out. I really hope things change for the better there. It might spur action elsewhere.
I’ve read this is what many companies are telling staff that have to travel as well.
It’ll certainly be my plan if I ever end up going back someday
This is what happened with Amazon and all those “AI grocery stores”. Easier for them to just use people to watch you from across the world. So dumb lol
I feel biased, but i agree with you. Definitely seems to feel that way
I’m surprised one of these companies hasn’t bid against the AI bubble yet. Like have they considered going against the grain when there’s obvious push back could actually increase profits?
Could you imagine a world where Microsoft went back to a windows 7 Era where shit just worked how it was supposed to and was super solid? I feel like people would appreciate and buy into a product that just works.
Maybe I’m completely off base here but in my mind having a product that… y’know…actually works and does what it says it does is valuable.
That is unless there’s just so much money being thrown at them to force AI into their products that they seemingly cannot refuse, which could very well be the case. But it just feels weird
Interesting! Thanks for the information.
Is there a reason these outages seem to have increased recently?
I wholeheartedly agree. It does sound dangerously similar. Ultimately, the main difference would be that I don’t want to hurt people(also to be frank it’s straight up impossible and imaginary to change people like this. lol). I just want them to be compassionate. I think ultimately, they need empathy. Maybe if i phrased it that way, it would sound less messed up. But yeah, they need to have empathy and a guilty conscience. If we could make everyone have that, it would be a much better place to live.
Governments don’t seem to want to do enough about them. They’re willing to let millions of people die because of billionaires. It just seems absurdly cruel and we just have to kind of sit and watch or get trampled on too.
They seem to not understand what made the good games good, and then when a game does do well, they try to milk it. The yearly releases are likely too much as well.
Black ops 3 was cool -> ruined with predatory micro transactions. anyone remember how they would pair you with people who had the items you were viewing in the loot box menu in an attempt to get you to purchase? And then the odds were stupidly low to actually get the items.
The modern warfare reboot was cool. But again they slowly ruined it entry after entry.
Black ops was kinda neat last year. Then they tried to milk it again.
Idk I’m kinda rambling here but if you’ve played most of the titles I think it makes sense as to why people aren’t always getting every one at this point
There’s a game called suck up, that also has this. I’ve read mixed results on it, but the idea seemed unique at least
