Nothing. It's literally just skill issues from people that can't roll through super helldives on god mode anymore.

IMO, Helldivers is more fun now than ever.

As an avid Helldiver. I disagree. There is so much fun to be had. And balancing weapons doesn't mean that everything sucks. It means you have a wider variety of viable loadouts in Super Helldive.

Wasnt that long ago they literally buffed every single primary across the board. Because people felt like they were useless compared to support weapons

They have multiple plausible paths to profitability. To claims there's none is just stupid. If they succeed or not is another question. But it's absolutely plausible.

The product and profitability towards the average citizen of the world, is such a microscopic part of their goals. People using their product is nothing more than data to feed their model. When they're done. Their profits are not going to come from people. It's going to come from the US government and companies. The investments being poured into OpenAI isn't just disappearing into a black hole, lots of it remains in the hardware and digital infrastructure required for the project.

Even if their public worth drops to 0. They will still keep being funded. Because the research is too important to let go of.

I always try to give people the benefit of doubt. But now he's said too much for that to apply.

The entirety of Palestine, Gaza, and Israel is complex. Though, it has to be said, part of that is because Israel has done everything in their power to keep it "complex". When serious progress was being made in the early years of their nation. Their response was to assassinate the mediator. Yes. Really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folke_Bernadotte (Oh I mean... It was totally these extremists, a rebel group, and in no way was Israel involved, they investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing!)

The Israeli genocide in Gaza however. Is not very complex. It's quite simple. It's a genocide. And they need to be held accountable. Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

Excuse me? From 2017 to 2022. Spotify lost an average of ~430 million euro per year. And they weren't profitable from 2008 to 2016 either... -0.43 billion per year is not "barely making a loss". But investors saw potential and they kept funding.

When it comes to technology that nations consider existential to their existence. There is always enough money.

Tech companies are expected to be run at a loss for quite some time before they start being profitable.

They were founded in 2015 and "officially" launched GPT in 2022 to the public. If they make profits by 2032, that would be in line with how other tech companies established themselves.

For example, Spotify wasn't profitable until 2024. They launched in 2008.

So, I don't know why them not being profitable is what everyone is talking about. They're not expected to be profitable until 2030 at the earliest. And every serious investor know this.

Yes I'm very fun at parties. But it seems that a lot of people just do not understand the expected timelines of tech companies.

It's funny how you try to be sassy by saying "I don't have infinite time like you do, I'm only a mere mortal", but the second the script is flipped you go with the "Oh are you trying to intentionally obtuse? How dare you". You want to dish it out but can't handle it being thrown back at you.

It's not my fault you comment on articles you didn't read. And it's no wonder you don't know what you're talking about it as a result.

While i do not doubt that you'd need infinite time to read a single article. I managed just fine in 2 minutes.

It's pretty clear what I've said for those who can read. And most of it seems to be because people like you type shit without even bothering to read what it is you're commenting on. Just going around spreading misinformation. But just for you. I'll use small words.

He just wants to sing and that's it. He did not want to get involved at all in this 'fight'. I think it's cowardly. Ed also has (or had) hundreds of people working for the tour. That may very well rely on the tour to bring home money. He has enough money to say fuck it and go home. Same can't be said for everyone else.

And don't worry, there's no ego to wound here.

Trying to waste others time by making them deny or defend against baseless claims is the type of shit Trump does. And the only measured response is to not even dignify it.

The rumor mill that gave me most of what I know about this incident didn’t tell me that piece, so that’s why I’m “on about” not knowing what you know.

And here I assumed you'd read the same article we're both commenting under where they said as much. My mistake.

It would be interesting to see what would have happened had Macklemore spoke about Africa

No it wouldn't. We both know nothing would happen.

I think that’s lame. You do not.

Don't put words in my mouth. It's not going to get you anywhere.

As far as Macklemore is concerned, this is the best outcome possible. He gets tons of free publicity, and the topic he spoke about gets even more coverage as a result of what happened. And everytime Ed performs without his openers, the papers will talk about why that is.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (6 children)

But then why ban Macklemore unless he suspected Macklemore would’ve gone on a political rant?

He wasn't banned ahead of going on a "political rant", he was removed after. So I don't know what you're on about there.

Regardless, not using your platform to advocate for people without a platform is a form of complicity.

That is highly debatable. I heard no one go on a "political rant" about the various internal conflicts in Africa. Are they complicit in those because of that? If an artist just wants to do their art. I say fair enough. I strongly disagree that it's a form of complicity

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, fair enough.

 

Personally I've only ever written two. One that created multiple textfiles in various folders under windows that all grew exponentially. This was in the age of HDD so it could actually caused some serious problems. I created it because a guy in my class stole my homework by copying my files. So i created this virus, named it something fitting and "forgot" to close my laptop when i went to the bathroom.

And another that once every 40 minutes + (5 to 50) minutes would open your cd tray and then close it after 2 seconds. No one used CD's at this point and i just wanted to prank some colleges.

 

I just wonder. If you can openly carry a firearm. Could you not also openly carry a sword? Bow and arrow?

 

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.
