Off the top of my head, I can immediately think of “civitt” as a better alternative - civilians instead of corpo overlords. Personitt. Hell, even “netizen” or some variation of that would be better. Zennet?

So, if I’m on programming.dev and you’re the owner/manager of lemmy.world, I can post on lemmy.world but you can’t block me at all, is that right?

No sane person wants to run anything on the internet where they can’t delete or block comments/users/other instances

it can scale infinitely because there are no historical ledger like a blockchain or hub, it’s like bittorrent, if a community no longer has any seeds, it stops existing.

Sounds like freenet, though the obvious downside of freenet is that you have to have it running as a program before you access its sites.

I guess they missed the memo on how their monarchs aren’t actually divine, or maybe they really, really, REALLY want to keep that tradition alive. Could be both, too, or other reasons.

Live action Porco Rosso is looking rather different

It’s really weird how getting old nowadays means “I know how to do this shit FOR FREE” for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I’ll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.

I can think of several reasons:

• get information on Russian forces
• lower Russian morale
• let Ukrainians die first because it’s more profitable
• make Ukraine a debt-slave state to its NATO sponsors
• go in guns blazing in order to save Ukraine so NATO gets good press
• force Ukraine to sign all sorts of deals that will leave the country at the complete mercy of big western corpos

Indeed. <absurdly long wall of expository text>, that’s why you must press on with the mission!

Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for

There are a few that are actually fun as games, Tifa Tanx2 being the only example that comes to mind, it’s a fun Kung Fu (NES) like beat’em up with easy combos. There are even some work-safe gameplay videos of it on YT

A lot of the games are visual novels, this is where you find a decent variety of styles, though a lot of them use daz3d models, which I don’t like. I’d wager that hentai games are like 60% VNs, 30% RPG Maker, 10% everything else

I also got fooled by some history docs that used AI. Some videos only used for some image generation, but others the script really felt like it was written and read by AI.

You watch that PeopleMakeGames video on Roblox and youtube spams you with Roblox player videos. Not every recommendation is spot on. Whenever I watch anything political (like the recent case of jair bolsonaro attempting to get rid of his ankle monitor with a fucking soldering iron), the recommendation spams me with right wing propaganda

I almost never watch anything outside private browsing or newpipe, so it’s easy to see how shit gets recommended “by default”.

I’m sure that is going to be super profitable /s

Hentai games are my guilty pleasures in that regard

Obligatory tutorials. Make it a choice.

QTE “final bosses”. Seemed to be a much bigger problem in the PS3/360 era.

“Open world” or “Sandbox” games that don’t care about your progress, where it’s painfully obvious that your actions don’t matter at all. Yes, this is mostly about Starfield

Games where you can win by a landslide but the computer/story goes “Hah, you were just lucky!”

If it would be available in stores like nintendo, I doubt people there would be much issue regarding high price.

Depends. I still remember when the PS4 price was unveiled in Brazil. Back then, it cost the equivalent of ~1700 dollars

Uh, social media? Would forums count as social media? What about boorus (plenty of specialized ones, like e6 for furries, sankaku for AI and reposts without tags)?

I know you can find all sorts of NSFW groups on telegram, with a significant portion being scammy. I suppose you could also look for ERP guilds in MMORPGs

There’s a story about how Zhuge Liang, a general and strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, protected a city from a 150,000 strong enemy army by hiding his force of 100 soldiers, leaving the gates wide open and playing a lute atop them, in plain sight of the enemy general. The enemy saw that, thought “No way I’m falling for this trap” and retreated.

That never happened, but Cao Cao did pull a similar feat against Lu Bu - the town had dense forests nearby, where forces could effectively hide. Lu Bu retreated the first time, but came back the next day and attacked, only this time Cao Cao’s soldiers were actually hiding in the forest and fought Lu Bu.

Glad to see that you lack an understanding of scale, that explains a lot.

Should the single parent who had a dream to make art who is getting crushed by capitalism, works 3 jobs to make ends meet and literally doesnt have time to learn there passion without starving not also deserve to be able to express themselves?

They’re not expressing themselves if all they’re doing is the equivalent of a boss telling a worker to do something. This is also called “commissioning an artist”

Oh no poor people might be able to make money off of art instead of only massive corporations that effectively already killed the human spirit in art already. Oh no someone who may have gone to school for art so they can express themselves may no longer be able to get a job at an ad company where their love for art gets extinguished as they have to constantly make soulless logos for mega corps based on advise from advertising psychologist who define what will tingle peoples brain more to make them want to consume more.

This whole paragraph is such a display of bad faith that I can’t even figure what’s your position. My best guess: a lot of words to dodge the problem.

The problem your scared about already happens but is dressed up as human expression today by pr departments because people do it. If anything AI art would counter that because now more people will be producing things for the sole reason of expressing themselves instead of needing to take a soul crushing job eroding the expression of their craft for a corporation to make up for the years of debt they incurred by going to school to follow their passion only to find out the field they went into is a farce.

Yeah, nothing like getting a soul crushing job that doesn’t involve art, so that my artistic spirit can remain unfulfilled forever while I pretend to boss around a prompt and think I did something. Refer back to my first point of this reply.

People believe anything already, people believed random hearsay in the past. The only counter for any type of manipulation like this whether being based in deep fakes or just someone spewing nonsense on a pod cast is critical thinking skills. AI doesnt change that one bit, if someone doesnt want to think critically about something they wont, they don’t need AI today to practice cognitive dissonance and blocking AI wont stop that behavior only focusing on education and critical thinking skills will.

It’s a matter of scale. That you failed to grasp something so simple says a lot.

Shhh, quiet! Otherwise they might get kidnapped by trump’s goons and put on an executive seat!
