  I worked with someone that defend this isea to the letter, just not contemplating companies.

  The argument stemmed from an alledge visit he had done to Japan, where he had seen terminals connected to mainframes, and people used those from their house.

  I was only able to raise one argument: that is not my computer.

  Mind that this man was extremely tech savvy, an experienced and proficient programmer and played the roles of IT solutions an security implementer and supervisor at the company we worked at. And we handled sensitive information.

  To him, relegating everything to an outside server was a dream, as removed the hassle and responsability of having to maintain, repair, replace and upgrade hardware. Everything needed should be a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse or trackball.

  Because lazyness.

  I’ve worn down a stove and two electric ovens, about to go on my third, over the course of twenty years, and I always aim for the simplest of the simplest possible.

  No pyrolisis function, no steam function.

  Just plain convection ovens, ventilated. And if non digital models are to be found, even better.

  What you just described has so many possible points of failure that I can only state that I hope any of it breaks and the circus comes falling down.

  It will be horrendous to see the aftermath.

  I hope we will see RAM at volume discount. I want to see these companies hurting to attempt to liquidate a fraction of the inventory.

  Colorblind and subtitles are designed to include people, so they can enjoy a game or any other content, that otherwise would not be accessible for such individuals or would be otherwise diminished in quality or reach.

  Difficulty tiers were created to extend the longevity, by adding extra challenge or even content to a game. Many games have - or had - content that was only accessible by playing one difficulty setting after the other. I don’t personally agree with it but it is(or was) a thing.

  And isn’t Sony putting forward what the company understands is a new and useful feature to their games? AI autoplay? That is their thought on how a game should be enjoyed/played from that point onwards.

  And in the chance I haven’t made myself clear enough at this point: I am not on a quest to prove others wrong. This is my take on the feature Sony will be inserting on their future games. If others find it good, good for them. Enjoy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re generalizing your own values and goals and they’re absolutely not as common as you think they are

  Isn’t that what we are all doing, while engaging in this discussion? Better yet, isn’t Sony doing that exact same thing by thinking that putting an AI autoplay function into the games is what all players want or at least a gross majority?

  Nobody is debating based on the sharing and comparising of proof and facts here; we are all sharing our personal view on the subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not on a quest to prove you wrong over me being right.

  Do as you will, it is your life.

  But it is through learning from small, inconsequential things like games, of any kind, to deal with controversial or unpleaseant feelings that many kids acquire coping mechanisms to handle real life situations. Situations with no cheat code, dificulty setting or pay-to-win mechanisms.

  Wanting an escape, a tension release valve is fine. Just pick the right one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more than obvious we are completely opposite individuals.

  Yes, I would - and have - replayed a game after using cheats. It’s not about knowing the game; it’s about knowing if I can actually beat the game without resorting to cheats.

  And, yes, I will rewatch an entire movie if I’ve missed a scene for any reason and the movie was somehow catching my interest. Not on that moment but I will rewatch it again when I have the opportunity and see how much the one scene I missed adds or not to the entire movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really funny. It never stops to amaze me how convenience replaced well considered options.

  You spend the money, you get to keep it. The logic of guaranteed satisfaction is non-sense. Unless it is defective, what other reason is valid to return anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheat codes are one thing. You can abuse those to even smoth your learning curve to later beat the game clean.

  The same logic can be used for difficulty settings: you play it, in harder and harder settings, to have a new/added challenge.

  Dynamic difficulty I’m unaware of what it migh actually be buy I risk I have an idea.

  The game playing itself? Sounds like a movie.

  But I hope you are right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So… What’s the point of playing then?

  Games are expected to pose some sort of challenge, of difficulty, to keep the player interested. Even if it boils down to pure frustration at some point, making some turn from it, even learning how to deal with it is useful. Games are some of the oldest teaching tools we stumbled upon.

  This another move on human and individual agenda, on learning how to exist, to an extent.

  This isn’t funny.

  No, it’s not my point, although there is a difference between expressing ideas, no matter how contrarian or controversial they may be, and spouting hate or other positions detrimental to advancement.

  I am aware of what you mention of companies sniffing for the social media of employees and potential applicants. It is a shameful practice. And if it is illegal in my country, has it is viewed as trespassing on one’s privacy, it should be as welll any and everywhere.

  Nobody should be ashamed nor afraid of expressing their opinions and ideas. Unfortunately, freedom of expression is often confused with the hability of saying whatever one feels like it, which is not.

  What you describe (and fear, I take) is persecution. And that already tells whatever system an individual lives in is already deep into veering towards blatant suppression of rights. The US case is so off the rails it deserves an entire category to itself but it is only one among too many.

  On the question of banning access to pornography I am completely against it. Yet I can not and will not deny the amount of evidence that supports that early and easy access to it is in fact tainting how people in general and kids in particular understand how relations are constructed. Pornography is really good at teaching wrong things. Nothing against it per se, it can be fun, but it should be consumed just like sugar, tobbacco and alcohol: in moderation and knowing of its ill effects.

  I personally started reading erotic books much sooner than it was supposed. I recognize that curiosity towards sex and sexuality is ingrained in what makes us humans. I’m not advocating for banning adult material of any sort. What I would like to see would be clear boundaries for that specific content, for it not reaching those who are not expected to access it unware. It can’t be written off to caveat emptor. Even less because a lot of it is “free”.

  The web is as it is today in great measure due to porn. There was a lot of money being poured into technology to facilitate access to it and in high definition. Let’s be thankful for it but that is it. It can be almost ubiquious nowadays, along with casinos and crypto. It’s too much and too much of a good thing is bad for everyone. Remember death by snu-snu.

  I have no illusion we, as a species and a civilization, are going through a very dark period. Again. All the prior should have been able to sink in the lesson but we are either too sttuborn or too stupid to learn. Censoring, wide spread control of ideas, knowledge and thought is detrimental to a fair and free society.

  Excuses like “protecting children”, “fighting terrorism”, etc, are, as you correctly said, excuses to make advances on individual rights and liberties. But we should be as concerned by now that companies do whatever they can to reach their goals and we are being force fed too many things that are not good for us. Two wrongs don’t make a right but something has to change. Perhaps ceasing to be afraid of being responsible by one’s own ideas and words would be a good start. Maybe stop feeding social media would be another. And perhaps reigning in companies on bad practices could be another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the point.

  You, as a common citizen, should not have to. But the moment you feel like to share your thought or opinion, you should be identifiable and made responsible for it.

  The current social media outlets shield behind the argument they act solely as channels while at the same time fostering and allowing for “anonymous” groups or individuals to spout whatever views they want, often views that deter from advancing social and civilizational progress. Hence the current state of the world, with authoritarianism on a rise and hight like there wasn’t in nearly 70 years.

  When the internet was made of individual websites, the person behind it was automatically made responsible for whatever they put on it. That was fair and reasonable.

  Pushes like this, is assigning suspition/guilt before any wrong doing.

  I will grant the overall facilitated acess to pornography is damaging the kids. There are already enough studies showing how the early access to porn is related to bad interpersonal relations on social, emotional and sexual level.

  But this does not imply you should be identifying yourself to access adult content or anything on the web. Just impose curation. If it’s available to the public, you’re responsible for it.

  Old school “dirty” books and magazines stores had controlled access and the really hardcore stuff was well out of reach of who should not get to it. Free porn is nice but there are things available that should be behind pay walls or at least registry, with identity verification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch Porn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try reading it instead. Go old school. And while you’re at it, write yourself and share it. Bring back the times of hand to hand banned knowledge sharing.

  But now seriously: that is completely stupid.

  As anyone considered the amount of money that “industry” generates. Considering the US is so economy driven and concerned with jobs, maybe that argument can raise concerns.
