I’m sorry friend; I still feel that childhood demiurge of “the game”.

I got teary eyed this morning playing a particularly satisfying VR title.

I guess my advice is: Try virtual reality gaming.

I can tell you without a doubt, if Russia claims something and is sketch about it, they’re almost certainly lying and the truth is the direct opposite thing.

It’s so easy to detect at this point, I’m not even sure why they’d do it other than to save face, or to go: “Look how stupid and scared our citizens are, we can boldly lie and they can’t say or do anything about it.”

I.e: Stories like: “Man falls off balcony after shooting self twice in the head, ruled accident”

Or uh, “Russian missile hits Kursk, Ukraine accused for the attack”

Put four pots over the squares over the ground.

Shoot the dragon head statues, the pedestals raise.

The pedestals make stone grinding sounds and…

Only one pedestal has raised, the pots have caused the animation to bug out and the game engine to assume that the pedestal is in the final position on the floor.

The floor position has the lever locked.

The game developer never anticipated what a massive idiot I was

I guess reincarnation real?

Yoooo, this sub is based!

I have watched Klitschko in the ring at Madison Square Garden. He’s a modern day Heracles. Insane upper body strength.

Paywalled – any archive.is or guest links?

Seconded. Not disguising plant protein as animal is the key.

I think this is the best post I’ve seen on Lemmy

It gets worse the more deviations you get away from the mean:

Scientists and other academics who often pride themselves on their rhetoric act in peculiar ways when they’re challenged on their assumptions with sources.

Normally, you’d expect the open-minded to be like: “Wow, that’s something I hadn’t considered! Thanks for expanding my intellectual horizons!”

Instead its: “You completely invalidated my work, you fuckwit! We’re going to lose funding!”

Always be kind to everyone you meet. C:

It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.

So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.

Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.

I distinctly remember the first few members of the page where Satoshi posted his whitepaper, the original .PDF outlining Bitcoin in the famous September 2008 thread on SA (SomethingAwful).

Craig or Christopher Wright was one of the usernames, and he claimed to be an Australian Investment Banker.

He and Satoshi used different usernames, and went offline at different intervals. That doesn’t mean much but we began to speculate that Wright was Satoshi, just swapping over accounts, because we were all teenagers and speculation was fun (like trying to ascertain the identity of Moot on 4chan).

Obviously none of that ended up being true because Satoshi completely fucked off the Internet in ~2012.

From what I’ve heard on the grapevine, he’s living out on a farm in Oregon with his autistic sister and has completely turned his back on the Internet and financial markets/industrial society as a whole, given what they did to his starry-eyed ideological digital based currency, turning it into yet another instrument of slavery rather than a means to liberation.

But we’ll never know.

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.
