Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Cory Doctorow: tech billionaires want to live in a world without people.
6·5 hours agoI think these guys envision remaking Earth into something like Solaria, from Asimov’s novels, a planet where something like 20,000 people live on vast estates tended to by their robotic armies. Since this means they will have to somehow conveniently get rid of 8 billion people, it’s safe to say that they have less than zero concern for whether any of their current policies have any human cost.
Their vision is really stupid because it assumes that AGI (or more appropriately, ASI) will value them as much as they value themselves and HAHAHAHAHAHA wipes tears - I have no idea what ASI would do, but it sure as fuck wouldn’t be that.
This guy irons.

4·1 day agoI’ve been using Eden for almost a year now off and on. Performance is pretty flawless, there are some graphical glitches here and there, but nothing that outright breaks the games. Eden didn’t supply the keys, I guess that’s the difference.
I tried Ryujinx and couldn’t get it to work for shit on Mint, but on Steam Deck it actually works fantastic.

1·1 day agoProof that game prices have always been shit, lol some of those games are fully 25% of the price of the console. That would be like GTA VI releasing on PS5 for $160 and all so you can play Backgammon.

Technology@lemmy.world•GTA 6 leaks prompt Take-Two to subpoena Microsoft for Windows device IDs of everyone in three Discord servers — daily gameplay leaks shatter cloud of secrecy around the much-hyped gameEnglish
6·2 days agoNone. I was never invested in it very heavily. I had one channel that I was a pretty involved member on but the whole “you don’t have to tell them how old you are, they’re going to use an algorithm and your usage patterns to deduce it,” I was just haha no, fuck that, and I quit.

38·2 days agoStop using Windows. Stop using Discord.
Yep. On it almost a year now, ever since 10 was EOL’d and I learned Discord was building a profile on every user based on usage.
Linux has been awesome and Discord mostly sucked anyway.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think UBI will be the future of the world?English
3·3 days agoIt would only happen because of their sense of self-preservation. They can build all the bunkers they want but there is no way to be completely independent of the giant external machine that keeps us all alive. Even if you were a nihilist like your average billionaire, you can’t just say fuck everybody else, I got mine. You depend on food being grown and delivered, you depend on drugs being made and doctors and dentists to fix you up. You depend on a billion people not actively seeking your death. You depend, most of all, on money not being worthless. If nobody has money but you, then you also have no money.

News@lemmy.world•U.S. Cuts Colorado River Water for Arizona, California and Nevada
38·4 days agobut communities and farms still use unsustainable amounts of water.
I’m so tired of hearing this load of shit. “Communities” use TWENTY PERCENT of all the water consumed in Arizona. That includes all the horrible, wasteful, golf courses everybody hates except golfers. TWENTY PERCENT.
Farms and industry use EIGHTY PERCENT of all the water used in Arizona. HALF of the resultant production from this water usage is shipped out of the country in order to generate PROFITS.
👉But I’ll give you three fucking guesses as to who is going to have water restrictions levied against them.👈
Just like Republicans always mouthing off about the welfare queens, as their orange moron doubles the national debt. They get to take it all and turn around and shit on everybody else for being the problem, as per usual.
That’s pretty low for an ambulance ride in the stupidest fucking country, tbh. Probably the actual bill after her insurance company “paid” for $3600 of it.
This is the scam of health “insurance” in America: you get a bill that’s stupid. Like “on a different planet” stupid. Your insurance colludes with the hospital to pay none of it (but tell you they did) and you get to pay the actual balance. The actual balance is also stupid, but just ordinary stupid.

Never realized they kinda look like the Recognizers from Tron.

pics@lemmy.world•Little guy scared the crap out of me this morning.
4·5 days agoNever ran into one in Phoenix but in Tucson, we ran into a green one on the way up Mount Lemmon. Beautiful but frightening.
Still using the wrong terminology and as long as we do, the problem will persist. The rich don’t need to pay a fair share. The upper middle class needs to pay a fair share. The rich need to be taxed out of existence. They are dangerous to civil society. Numbers should be set, ie: no individual should have any business having more than 10 million in cash and 250 million in assets, or whatever. I understand this is an oversimplification that doesn’t take into account business entities, etc - but it’s not like smart people couldn’t sit down and hash out what’s appropriate. Ultimately, beyond the limits set, you either divest and/or turn the money back to your employees/shareholders - or you will give it to the government in the form of seizures and taxation.
Until such time as something like this is undertaken, we’re just playing footsie with the problem.

Games@lemmy.world•Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - DexertoEnglish
11·6 days agoI loved GTA 3, the first one I ever played and bonus, Vice City was even better! I thought GTA 4 was OK - not great, not terrible. I hated GTA 5. Similarly, I loved RDR and hated RDR 2 (I know I basically stand alone on this one).
Personally I feel like Rockstar is on a trajectory. My interest in 6 is in negative numbers. It’s not like I don’t like the genre. I love Cyberpunk, but even that I didn’t buy until I managed to get it on sale for $20.
I might consider getting GTA 6 if it goes on sale for $5, which it won’t. Hell, they still want $20 for 4 lol. Money grubbing shits.
