My last job tracked it, because of course they did. They could tell how often we logged into the AI tools and how many queries we ran a week and if we didn't hit a certain number, we were reprimanded.

It was a support job. They wanted us running customer tickets to train the AI, we were basically training our replacement. And it's obvious to everyone, we're not stupid, so morale was absolutely in the fucking gutter.

Well, that's on me. It's a difficult sentence to parse in English since it's kind of nonsensical, but I guess that's the joke 😅

If we're talking realm of pure fantasy: destroy it.

I want you to understand this is not AI sentiment as a whole, I understand why the idea is appealing, how it could be useful, and in some ways may seem inevitable.

But a lot of sci-fi doesn't really address the run up to AI, in fact a lot of it just kind of assumes there'll be an awakening one day. What we have right now is an unholy, squawking abomination that has been marketed to nefarious ends and never should have been trusted as far as it has. Think real hard about how corporations are pushing the development and not academia.

Put it out of its misery.

I picked one of these up after it got some buzz the other week. Still waiting for delivery, though, will report back once I've had some hands-on time with it! Probably just going to do Arch.

It's hilariously awful because, as a fan of the original Marathon trilogy, the aesthetic of the new game is the only thing that appealed to me; and it was stolen.

I have no interest in an extraction shooter. You can make an extraction shooter if you want, but you gotta make something that players can get emotionally invested in first. Original Marathon players won't recognize this and new players won't care so what was the fucking point of any of this, I'm going crazy. This industry has lost all direction

While the lyrics of this year’s song, “New Day Will Rise,” don’t make reference to any events in particular, Galia Press-Barnathan, a professor of international relations at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, says the message is nevertheless clear.

“You can’t ban a personal story from a competition,” she told NBC News in a Zoom interview earlier this month. “So you really get two for one,” she said, with a talented singer performing what sounds like “an old French chanson” paired with a story that makes clear the song is actually about “both a personal trauma and a national trauma, and how you sort of come out of this.”

Yeah, you told us not to make it political, but we figured we'd flagrantly worm our way around the intent of it anyways. Gross.

Except it's Bob from Reboot instead of Jack Black.

100% agree and I would like to add on to it that it's worth just posting information, too.

Did you run into a weird error with your Linux install and have a difficult, yet interesting time troubleshooting it? Post the solution! Even if it doesn't directly address someone else's problem, often finding pieces of an issue and correlating them with a bigger problem can help.

I don't run a personal blog and downvotes mean literally nothing here, so have at it!

I went cold turkey on Reddit when they stopped API access and it was rough in the beginning, but I get ever so slightly hints of the old internet here on Lemmy. It's raw, but it's fresh and it's ours. I love it.

I'm starting to feel like a lot of the takes against Hasan are in bad faith. I watched a little recap and I felt it was both clear and obvious that YOU (normal person) shouldn't do what he did.

But being a notable person of interest who was already (questionably?) illegally caught up in a bad system, there's reason to believe things wouldn't take a turn for the better just because he asked to lawyer up. So he took a calculated risk and engaged with the situation enough to gather a first hand experience he could report on. Concrete evidence, there's value in that. It was his decision to make.

To reiterate, obvious YOU don't do that. Stay silent, lawyer up.

EDIT: Timestamped.

EDIT: Timestamped, again. Same video.

Trackmania, although depending on how you want to slice it, you might consider it ONLY grinding.

Incredibly low skill floor (4 button racing sim) but with near infinite skill ceiling as you learn to master all the nuances of movement, surface types, tricks, etc.

Endless amounts of content with the seasonal campaigns, tracks of the day, and weekly shorts, but also just a full blown track editor for community content on the side. Each track is like a little puzzle where you memorize all the details then try and get your best performance. Play in an online server with your friends and just chat, listen to music, or watch a movie in the background. Find your favorite style and master it: tech, dirt, NASCAR, lol.

It's my favorite game to just turn my brain off and drive.

This reminded me of the novel Boomsday by Christopher Buckley (same author that wrote the book Thank You for Smoking if you're familiar) where Boomers are offered tax break incentives if they agree to kill themselves at age 75.

Except now Millennials are in the hot seat ...
