as with a lot of tests, the thing a driving test is the best at measuring is how well you can take a driving test.

- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 days ago:
why would the norm for websites be expected to transfer to apps rather than the norm for applications to transfer to apps? it’s not happenstance, developers didn’t hack ways to put ads in their software, then system was designed by apple specifically to make apps on the app store primarily ad supported. this was boasted by jobs himself when he introduced the iphone.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 days ago:
except that’s a dumb comparison. television sets did not also create the environment for broadcasting and set the main monetization model. Apple fucking did. they didn’t just make the fucking phone, they created the fucking system, the fucking app store, and built-in fucking ad delivery system for the fucking apps. jobs boasted about it in the keynotes.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 days ago:
adware was definitely not the norm before smartphones. I’m not talking about websites, I’m talking about applications. when were games using ads for monetization?
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 3 days ago:
by making the iphone. ads were not the primary source of revenue for applications before that.
- Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads 4 days ago:
i meant using making adware the default form of software.

something tells me neither of these are genuine attempts at properly using the definitions but rather clever subversions in pursuit of… checks notes… humor.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 1 week ago:
cyberpunk has nothing to do with starfield.
largely seamless world, fun combat, hand crafted locations, good writing, good story, good and memorable characters, engaging dialogs, multiple ways to finish quests, cool vehicles, and on and on…
oh and forget forcing the player to fast travel everywhere but traveling around in cyberpunk is actually fun so i pretty much never used it in the game despite having the option.
and it looks like no one directed any part of starfield, it’s literally the same as oblivion in terms of how every encounter and dialog unfolds, while starfield actually has direction and variety, well acted and performance captured interactive scenes. here’s a good comparison of two similar quests involving a trade with shady people.

i don’t know, but for any possible positive use for it, the only legal way must be open source, or else we’re in deus ex territory.
i know fuckwits like elon cannot see past aesthetics so they think it’s cool but brain chips are as close the Torment Nexus as we can possibly get.

there is an end: you legislate it out of existence. unfortunately the US politicians instead are trying to outlaw any regulations regarding AI instead. I’m sure it’s not about the money.

not government ID. but they use other documents for identification, like driver’s licenses… usually whatever makes it easier to discriminate against minorities for the issue at hand.
