Return to Moria has been really fun! Playing online with my buddy all day the last two days.
Pretty slow moving for a survival/crafting game, but we’re both big Tolkien fans and the fan service is pretty great.
Boss fights have been quite interesting and when progression finally happens it feels really satisfying.
He won’t be old enough, but that would be fucking incredible if he ran.
This actually made me lol
There was no “gunman”, Thompson was killed by his own greed. You should arrest him, but you can’t because he’s dead.
Money please!
Weather and other very complex and hard to predict stuff like fluid dynamics, things that don’t have a human or completely random behaviour, is probably the best thing an AI could do for humanity.
Also could be good for understanding animal communication like dolphins etc.
I don’t think it will really be able to do much actual human work, though. Maybe management…
Work work
Idgaf. Why has this story been at the top of my feed for like 4 days now?
Because roughly half the country believes what he says. If it affirms their worldview (usually hatred of some “other”), then they are happy to take it on face value.
Because we have blatantly partisan media companies willing to parrot his lies and unwilling to challenge even the most harmful of them.
Because our two party system makes nearly everything a political issue that is supported by one party or the other, and voters have to choose between the lesser of two evils (whatever that means to that voter) than vote for someone who better represents their actual world view.
Because he is rich. Because he is privileged. Because he has never been made to actually face the consequences of intentionally lying to everyone.
Kill (or help kill) people who are on average more poor and brown than we are.
Yes. It’s short for “hear him”, and also i guess gets rid of the pointless gendering of that phrase.
I’m surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.
Sadly I truly believe this is the case. There’s no reason to support Trump positions unless you’re a billionaire. Any non-billionaire that supports his obvious lies and grifts must be a racist, because he doesn’t have anything else going on.
Who’s going to do the regulating?
Sure, a liberal could impose sane regulation, but what happens next time the US elects a Trump?
You want Trump (or any other fascist wannabe dictator) to have the ability to control what people say on the Internet? He’s already calling to take down ABC for fact checking him!
So just like gun control (as in an all-out ban), regulation of free speech/communication is just so risky.
I do think platforms should be doing more to remove disinformation from the mainstream, no matter who it pisses off. Unfortunately that does end up leading to echo chambers when what Americans need is to hear (truth) from all points of view.
Very complex situation that AI is only making worse.
I think I understand your point, but if news isn’t for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it’s pretty hard work.
It can’t be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn’t trust the media to accurately report on the state.
Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.
Bret, you got it going on.
“The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism” is a hell of read, as well as “The Navidson Record”.
But “The Necronomicon” is my favorite fictional book, I think.
Only reserve IPs that are outside of the DHCP range you’ve configured.
I’m still thoroughly stoked for this game.
Xbox Game Pass for PC is an incredible value, even with the caveat of having to run windows (which sucks so bad). That’s always my top rec for PC gamers.
Elden Ring is still my number one game. It’s awesome and will run great on your new PC as well as your deck. It’s also got a lot in common with your listed games.
Grounded is a great game as well! It’s a reasonably difficult survival crafting game (like Subnautica). Same goes for Return to Moria.
