I do agree on the whole, It’s the next phase of automation. The real problem stems from the fact that we hold onto the system where a tiny handful of people get the full benefit of the productivity, while the others are paid in time incriments which value goes down with demand, so as more jobs are automated or assisted (to allow more work with less people), supply demand devalues the labor.

Well it comes down to 2 problems though.

First and most obvious hitting that critical mass… before you hit it, everything is hell, you are stuck with BS laws, and you can’t do anything about it. Your vote is worthless.

In my town this november there was one ballot issue… in short, it was summarized as "put a million dollars towards schools, build a new school on an unused empty lot owned by the school system, build a new sports field for one of the schools). Digging deeper that would be paid for by a proporty tax that would cost… up to 100 a year for people making over 150k.

So… the whole town was plastered in “vote no” signs, when I went to the polling place a guy outside asked me to “strongly consider voting no”. I was one of the 17% that voted yes.

So that basically tells me… demographically we need an insane change for the politics of this area to be less stupid, and that’s before factoring in that not only does it involve a HUGE change to reach 51%… but realistically we need more like 65-70% to counteract the inevitable gerymandering that will happen if we ever get anywhere close. I will be staying here, and I’d be happy to encourage all my progressive friends to stay and/or move here. But when it comes down to it, I’d be shocked if there is a swing in the next 50 years, and I certainly wouldn’t encourage anyone in a group that is likely to be directly oppressed to move here.

But won’t you think of the children!! Think of how many kids have never seen a poorly drawn penis and have to have their first experience looking down at a pothole.

I do wonder if anyone actually did say a charting on wanksy’s city… (IE city claims that it had no influence on their decision to fill potholes, but it was aknowledged that some are getting filled. Realistically that should involve a test, Wanksy should have found 10 potholes, penis’d in 5 of them, quietly took note of 5 and put on his list… Then anonymously slipped that information to a journalist with instructions not to publish for 2 weeks. At which point he’d analyze the 10 potholes and report back which ones were filled.

My point is, there needs to be more scientific rigor with the penis drawings.

Honestly I haven’t heard any of my right wing coworkers etc… talk about this particular company, but I have heard a lot of elon worship from them. IE I hear a lot of them talk about how he’s gone so pro free speach with twitter. (and they tend to ignore me when I point out that he’s censoring every bit as much as the old twitter, he’s just nicer to the nazis and less nice to the left.

You don’t have to worry about that, It’s an Elon Musk owned product, he already solved that with TwiXer. He just has to make sure that Nazi’s can send their propoganda to your brain, and then advertisers will stay very far away from the neuro link.

Point is it’s a stroke of a pen to change the priority… One president or one DEA switch away. The supreme court upheld Roe V Wade which was why it wasn’t important to codify it into law… until it was.

Well those aren’t uniquely AI problems.

AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).

Misinformation, scams etc… all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor

The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks… how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand… and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income… leads to people starving to death.

Sad how many people don’t seem to get not persecuting people based on their race/religion/orientation, does not mean blindly protecting people who are doing terrible things.

Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Which to be quite frank, Netanyahu’s character does not appear very good.

I’ve been out of the loop for a whie, but in godot, dialogic was amazing. Least it was back in 3.5.

Falling for implies it matters to them. They’ve discovered the weaknesses in the system. The supreme court has goals to take on issues that can’t be demonstrated to negatively effect anyone, so in order to get the cases and overturn law they need straw plaintifs to give cases.

IMO set him up with some of the modern engines and tutorials… Godot 4, Unreal etc…

actually if you are looking for some stuff to have ready for him.

If he has access to youtube there’s also lots of really good tutorials etc… out there. Heartbeast has some awesome ones for godot etc…

I’d say less that right wing ideology cares about enshitification one way or the other, but what they do care about… is the ability to not be sensored for hate speech. With less mods, and the remaining mods having worse tools.

Well I mean the biggest thing that would be the ultimate ideal would be anything that can maximize the ability to bring existing unity projects over to godot. IE minimal refactoring needed.

Big thing is not just getting people to start their new projects, but what about those who have spent 3+ years mastering their game, only to have the rug pulled out from under them when it was 80% of the way to release worthy.

Umm… pirating windows is your recomended solution?

Look don’t get me wrong I could say it’s if anything more cost effective for simply the dev’s to say “OK anyone who has more than 1 hour of linux play time prior to this date qualifies for a refund”.

Of which, most likely is a handful of people so easy work.

Screw privacy sensitivity that’s a moot point. Installing windows isn’t a minor tweak to a computer .First of all the suggested method is technically breaking the law. Secondly you are talking minimum adding in a windows partition, so an extra 50 GB storage on top of the amount the game takes. Comprimizes to the boot loader on the system, in which there’s a high chance of messing up an existing install.

My thoughts exactly, this actually screams awesome fashion lol

Unfortunately for the most part, capitalism is. The companies that do exploit their workers and their customers make more money, Corporations that make more money than their competition then get in positions to do shady shit to kill their competitors. In the end of course there’s plenty of shitty jobs that treat their employees like garbage to jump between, and very few jobs that actually treat their workers like humans.

or more accurately users just have no grasp of what things come from. No shortage of times in tech support where I’ve heard things like “Yes I know the internet is down, I’m not trying to go to the internet I’m trying to go to facebook”.
