- Comment on Ubisoft initiates colossal restructure to become a more 'gamer-centric' company 4 hours ago:
The publisher is restructuring around five ‘creative houses’ by implementing cost-cutting, project cancellations, and a return-to-office mandate.

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the dark ages.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 day ago:
not OP but I believe they’re “soft” in the sense that they don’t have moats/high electric fences/battalions of armed guards around 24/7

- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 days ago:
Just like with watershed TV/movie/music, it seems quaint and overhyped as their innovations become the norm.
There is even a trope that describes that
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 days ago:
If you launch the game outside steam the time isn’t accounted. I know this because I love playing Timespinner with a randomizer. Inside steam I have 40h of played time. If the timer counted my randomizer sessions I’d have at least 4x that
- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 3 days ago:
All these involve learning and maintaining skills more removed from power than skills of more industrial professions (monotonous work).
I tend to disagree. There is something gratifying in making something with your own hands/tools. I could buy a table, or a drawer, or a pre-built computer. But I kinda enjoy making/assembling mine own. There are other people out there that enjoy gardening, and plenty other “monotonous work”.
- Comment on ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died | Futurism 3 days ago:
If two guys are hanging out and one says “hey I think I think I should take more drugs” and the other says “hell yeah brother do it” they aren’t responsible if the first guy ODs
They are indirectly responsible. Dangerously close, depending on circumstances, of being criminally responsible.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 3 days ago:
But today’s money doesn’t really have any frontiers our boundaries. If a corp is being openly traded in the stock market, it belongs to the very same assholes that own the americans megacorps.

You can reach 1 million in assets over a decade or so as a middle class worker.
This might be true in a rich 1st world country. For a small subset of “middle class worker”, most live paycheck to paycheck, barely scraping by.
- Comment on Big AI has PC users furious. Nvidia and Micron's weird emotional appeals make it worse 3 days ago:
Capitalism, when unchecked, tends to create those giant monopolies you’ve mentioned. It is capitalism at its end game, total consolidation.
- Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow 3 days ago:
and he’s just repeating himself ad nauseum
this is usually how you build mindshare of anything
- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 3 days ago:
I only browsed to see if using “services” would be cheaper than the upkeep on my ex was. It would be.
This is quite the misogynistic take, dude. Did you marry only to fuck someone? People usually marry for many reasons beyond just sex. Love, companionship, shared dreams.

- Comment on What are your technology mispredictions? 1 week ago:
The iPod did well.
“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”
- Comment on What are your technology mispredictions? 1 week ago:
In the mid-nineties I passionately believed that the internet would democratize information and usher in a wonderful new era of well-informed critical thinking and general enlightenment
The profit motive kiled this dream. Capitalism seems to wither anything it touches.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Some refunded games are indeed defective. Others are refunded because of false advertising. There are people that abuse the system, of course, but I still see the possibility of refunding as pro-consumer.
- Comment on Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck 2 weeks ago:
Even if it boils down to pure frustration at some point
…the point where many people simply give up and refund? Maybe they’re trying to avoid something like that

your inability to understand it doesn’t make it bad analogy
Wow how condescending we are today. I’m sorry I failed to appreciate the analogy that your big, beautiful smooth brain produced.
Prick.
