There are objectively good games. There are not objectively fun games.

Half-Life 2 is objectively good, and if you say it's a bad game you're simply wrong. However if you say it's a game you do not enjoy and isn't fun for you, that's not wrong.

A game can be both good and not enjoyable to you.

Conversely, a game can also be objectively bad and yet fun for some people.

Yeah, I only see two ways off this train at this point.

1- they fail to rig the next election and get voted out so overwhelmingly that they fail to fight it...

2- military coup. If some number of military officials take their paths to the Constitution seriously and decide to act to defend it.

If not one of those, then hopefully the regime doesn't last long and we collapse like the USSR did.

There's a difference between 'a person' and 'every person'. A person can definitely do things better than any chat bot. But not every person can. And depending on the situation, a person who can may not be available.

Even then, there is a place where the AI beats all persons and is better in one way: speed. If the task at hand does not require a better result than what the AI outputs, then the time savings is big, because there are no situations in which any human will work faster.

....you know, I never thought of it that way before but yeah, the way our economic system is designed, money is like gravity. Once it passes a certain threshold, it just...accretes.

And much like gravity it would take a rare and exceptionally violent event to break that hold and scatter it again in a way it won't just pull back together.

At 77 I think it's gone past normal and into a completely different weird niche.

Elon certainly talks a good line, but his actions don't really follow. Like, I agree with this, eliminating intellectual property would be great. I am sure that whatever actions he tries in regards to this won't actually follow through and will instead somehow be twisted to benefit him at the cost of others.

That is absolutely not a free feature on Steam. Some publishers like Paradox leave old versions as 'beta' branches to allow us to reinstall them, but Steam as a whole is very against you playing anything but the latest version.

You cannot instruct Steam to not update a game. When you launch a game, Steam will update regardless, unless you have gone offline, or you launch it in a way that bypasses the Steam client. If you ever forget to go offline before launching a game, Steam will forcibly update it

Ai can combine two things. It can train on completely normal pictures of children, and it can train on completely normal adult porn, and then it can put those together.

This is the same reason it can do something like Godzilla with Sailor Moon's hair, not because it trained on images of Godzilla with Sailor Moon's hair, but because it can combine those two separate things.

Hey, don't stop at Garland. Who was Garland's boss, who could have told Garland to do his fucking job or be replaced by someone who will?

Never forget that failure to deal with Trump is ultimately on Joe Biden and no one else.

There's a good chance it wouldn't stick depending on many factors, but it's extremely expensive to fight in court, and courts have shown themselves to be very hit or miss with technological things. Especially when trying to apply rules that were not written with things like software in mind.

He's the guy the toilets are named after.

I mean, it's still accurate as to whether you like performing murder. You might not like murder as an idea or as a thing that people do, but until you try a murder, you don't know whether you will enjoy the act of murdering.
