  If someone says they got a second opinion from a physician known for being wrong half the time would you not wonder why they didn’t choose someone more reliable for something as their health? AI is notorious for providing incomplete, irrelevant, heavily slanted, or just plain wrong info. Why give it any level of trust to make national decisions? Might as well, I dunno…use a bible? Some would consider that trustworthy.

  Dark and bitter?

  Cheap and thin?

  Cheap and tasteless?

  White and sweet?

  Full bodied and hot?

  Friends had one. They had a yappy dog. The light would turn off and on when th dog barked.

  Already bought it. It’s the Descent IV we never got 20 years ago. Dang, been a while since I thought of the dev drama surrounding these games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The resemblance is immediately obvious. Didn’t know this existed. Thanks.

  Played the hell out of 1, 2, and 3, along with Freespace. Planetdescent was my home for years. Shakerheads unite!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When will we have reached enough productivity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never. The line must keep moving upwards. If it doesn’t come from productivity it comes from enshittification, layoffs, offshoring, etc.

  Hold it. Crypto is senseless. It’ll climb again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like it was on purpose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The US is in decline. Hastened by Republican ideology, accelerationists, and general willful stupidity and ignorance to varying degrees across the board. The “economy” revolves more and more around the stock market which only serves to enrich the already well off and wealthy while the rest of the ~90% flounder.

  I like coconut water that bits of coconut in it. I do not like boba tea.

  Texture preferences and dislikes are really weird differences between ASD peeps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Coldplay actually sounds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. There’s by far more mediocre bands with some fame than Coldplay. At least Coldplay isn’t one of the “hype” entertainers like Bieber that need constant press coverage to stay relevant or a band that will play anything and have no real sound of their own like OneRepublic.

  What’s old is new again. “Glass” desktops and interfaces have made at least 3 rounds so far.

  You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personal Responsibility⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still not the kid’s fault if they were brought up to tolerate and play emotional games against family members.

  Having kids myself and listening to them describe their fellow students’ situations at home, or even how we observe acquaintance’s kids act and how it mirrors parental behaviors, you can bet your ass that they learn from how their parents are acting and what they’re allowed to get away with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a recipe for Unpredictable Rewards and messing with loyalty systems. Hook people on a loyalty program, slowly jack up the price, then throw in some real deals to keep them gambling for more. Don’t think an AI is necessary to do this, but corporate loves AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting the cultural difference here. People arguing in favor of, or at least the reasonableness of, the law and its application. Americans regularly speed, 20+ mph over the limit is not uncommon. People would lose their shit over a driving ban in the US, and probably keep driving anyway. DUI repeat offenders and suspended license drivers are pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I didn’t need to envision every movie supervillain mastermind’s plot to create havoc and terror. You seriously underestimate the resources needed to pull off such a thing and keep it secret even if it’s technically possible. Why make “10,000” little drones when you can make a half-dozen bigger RC plane types that can do an incredible amount of destruction? The point is to start terror, which requires far less than your elaborate plot and conditions like “facial recognition”. You went off the deep end of a Marvel movie plot to wipe out a city. We all know that just a couple well-placed hits is enough to send the country into a spiral.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The vehicle is almost irrelevant. They can be box trucks, planes, cars, suicide vests, backpacks, parcels, any number of things, including drones. Any mobile form can be brought close to an intended target.

  Drones are more of an assassination weapon as far as FPV drones go. They can be built if you have the knowledge from available parts, but do require quite a bit of skill to fly. Their ability to only carry a small charge (yes, there are huge drones, buy flying one of those monsters around is a completely different animal) is probably only going to hurt a couple people or kill one person in particular.

  I don’t disagree that they can be used as weapons of terror, however I just don’t see FPV as weapons of mass terror.

  OTOH the large winged drones that can be launched from miles away that are essentially “cruise missile” drones could certainly be used as mass terror weapons, but those aren’t the kind used by regular people for fun or photography.

  Probably do the same thing most of the junk humans dump into the environment. Reduce average lifespan, cause diseases and reduced fertility.
