I bet you they will bray that this is the future. But these people didnt care until at most 10 years ago when they got into rokos basilisk, accelerationism, dark enlightenment etc
Look how quickly they took to it.
They were never skeptics or atheists
Just fundamentalists in search of the right god

You tell these dimwits have nothing else
You start seeing the start of other trends pop up mid way through a current trends lifestyle. Some new dipshit gimmick for 'early adopters'
But now?
Nothing
All they have is AI
AI in everything
Everywhere
All the time
You smell the stench of their desperation

The reason they push this hard. Sell space this hard. Proclaim to be agi this hard is because they are, above all else, morons. Mostly rich kids who got by on money and think they can cheat their way to immortality.
These people are stupid. Stupid to the point of being barely functional

Everytime I see some new stupidity or horror AI bros unleash, and their constant excuses regarding it, I have consistently remind myself that that whole industry is a closed positive feedback loop heading for heat death fod which the tech industry has no replacement scam after it fails.

I wonder how easy it would be to build an open source epaper/android tablet shell that basically turns a tablet into a dedicated ereader that keeps an always local version of wikipedia that just does weekly/monthly scrapes for updates and changes

Welp they say never go to bed angry, but in this case this is a massive improvement over my previous mood. So I guess getting so mad I go to sleep is a good thing for me atm

Sony said it wants to focus less on hardware and more on software and media experiences and its probably
A) The result of how much shit like Sea of Thieves sold on PS5
and
B) How much their pc ports sold
and I'm sitting here looking at people screaming how Sony is dying.
Youtubers are morons

Pay Garrick Burford using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/stompsite and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

paypal.me/stompsite is the fastest way to help me out

I need a minimum of $500 to cover stuff

the other ways to help do help, but they take much longer to deposit and my account might go into the negative briefly as a result

If you like my work, please, please, please share. I have some VERY big bills that came due (including one I forgot about, so I paid a different one and now I'm in the hole, AND I had a big dental bill) and I'd like to be able to buy groceries + pay for the medical care I need

first person shooters are extremely fun, but the industry rarely makes the ones i like anymore There’s something about that anticipation as your dropship passes over open ocean and the fighting on the beach comes into view…

Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one.

I'm going to keep sharing this until Sunday. If you like my work and want me to be able to do things like: deal with this severe bout of disability that has me bedridden for the last week, write more articles, pay off medical costs so I can get diabetic care

I would be grateful

behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and πŸ’£ goes the scraper

And even in the success of coogler, the executives are now trying desperately to make sure that kind of success can never happen again.
Executives fear one thing. And its the rise of another George Lucas.

But the fundamental thing I took from this is that the IP era led to a total creative backslide. Outside of Avatar and Christopher Nolan's dwindling box office, has their been any new franchise? Any new major blockbuster film or creator outside of sinners/coogler?
