Epic/Unreal Engine announced they’re getting rid of their much loved visual scripting language: Blueprints. In favour of an interactive LLM based content generator - focused on creating a “Metaverse” for Fortnite.
Basically they’re focusing on AI content generation and want users of the engine to make Fortnite into Roblox.
Welcome to your “I only buy vintage tech” era.
Mine started when 3.5 mm audio jacks started disappearing. We all draw a line.
There’s really only two classes: Us and them… And if you’ve got less than 10 million, you’re probably one of us.
With Mexico now having universal healthcare, there’s no better time to try.
All ready for Trump’s big ID only, Thanks Elon, 2028 “Elections”, brought to you by The Liberty Voting Machine Company, USA.
More companies with less money is better than a few companies with all the money.
Ultimately distributed power has to be more democratic, and centralized power has to be more fascistic.
That’s part of why governments having large distributed bureaucracies each with their own authority and independent ability to intervene is better than say; a single executive office/president controlling everything directly.
Distribution also leads to stability though (making it harder to challenge the status quo), so it’s a double edged sword.
Anyone else think Pingu’s legs look weird here?
According to Microsoft, users who have installed the KB5095051 update might encounter a strange Recycle Bin bug that replaces the names of deleted files with internal Recycle Bin filenames in specific situations. When permanently deleting a single file from the Recycle Bin, the confirmation dialog displays a cryptic internal filename, such as $Rxxxxx.ext, instead of the original filename, such as realfilename.txt.
Ahh yes, Microsoft lying about how bad Microsoft are again. \s
MICROSOFT who encourages employees to us AI to code things? \s
He wants to take 7 trillion dollars from AI companies. That’s what a sovereign wealth fund is, it’s when you take profits from a source, and store it to use on things like health care, wellfare, pensions, public transport, housing, infrastructure, ect.
This misapprehends the business models of techno feudalism: you operate at a loss, running on VC money which is fairly endless. You offer a freeish service to grow your brand. Then when you list on the stock exchange you live off debts loaned to you by the bank on the basis that your company is worth millions or billions.
I have no doubt ChatGPT is, and that Sam Altman lives with no taxable income to speak of. He’s just accumulating bank loans and paying them back with other bank loans secured by OpenAIs growing stock price and company valuation.
Money isn’t real to the elite classes. Actually I believe Stalin and Churchill once stopped at a Cafe sometime after WW2, they realised after their meal no one travelling with them had money on them to pay. Because they didn’t need money. It’s accepted when you’re at that level. Welfare Capitalism has existed for a very very long time.
“You people”
I’m not a fan of Judith Butler’s hyper specificity, no, and I don’t pretend Gender Trouble (which is also a bit dated) is the be all and end all of queer studies. Also no one said anything about assimilation - I said communication… Which ultimately everyone has to do.
Anyways, uptight leftist with a quick temper when disagreed with (reproducing a culture much?), I’ll leave you to it.
P.S Do Liberals often complain to you about Capitalism forcing people into porn? Really - try to be a bit more coherent with your insults next time.
The real problem is that the rest of society doesn’t deserve what’s done there.
You know, every country has a blacklist of websites it doesn’t allow access to. Has been that way since the 90s. It’s also part of law enforcement.
What’s more there are things organisation like the IEEE don’t allow. So there’s a central authority involved.
All in all what we call the Internet isn’t the most free protocol we have. It’s just the one that got popular.
I went and read the article so much more ridiculous than I thought:
The article its self is so stupid. Saying the dumbest shit:
Although men with such interests are usually stereotyped as being gay, this could not be further from the truth. In fact, research has found that the vast majority (73%) of men who have sex with male-to-female transsexuals identify as straight or bisexual
Although men with such interests are usually stereotyped as being gay, this could not be further from the truth.
Okay, so now we’re ignoring bi people as being a little same sex attracted? Wtf do these people think being gay means??? This is lala land stupid shit.
Likewise, persons who run trans porn sites have reported that most of their clients are straight men and that they have next to no gay audience at all [3].
Leading into quotes from consumers of said websites:
“An exoticness, a uniqueness, something that can’t be obtained elsewhere. They’re just totally unique in their sexuality in that they’re both…men and women and at the same time, neither men nor women. To me that’s my fascination.” [2]
“I like the girls with a little something extra, you know what I mean.” [2]
Yeah, if you’re jerking off to someone’s male aspects or that “something extra” that’s same sex attracted - aka in common parlance: ghheeeey.
Like the “something extra” is a penis. That’s gay. I can’t believe these ridiculous people who would claim otherwise.
Yeah, sex is a subtle and diverse spectrum and all - but same sex attraction is same sex attraction. If we’re going to stop saying what we mean, or going to pretend things are what they aren’t…then we can’t communicate on any of this, and shouldn’t talk.
Bi is a little gay. Looking at trans porn involving penises, is pretty gay. Pretty same sex attracted. Which means gay.
…and then so much of what you complained about wasn’t even in the article. Like hell dawg, what’s up with that?
Always interesting when discussing porn and someone immediately tells on themselves.
Like this isn’t the 1980s, you can can watch the only fans of a trans person masturbating, no one’s forcing you to click “muscle man destroys that bussy” again.
“For straight men sex is about power and dominance” okay, cool we’re just going to generalize about whole demographics now. Go on, say something about asian drivers of some shit. Go biggot it up elsewhere with this stuff.
Also, sorry, if you’re jerking off to trans porn (which is usually people with penises): You’re NOT straight! Like get real, a dude jerking off to a dick is NOT straight it’s like the definition of being gay… And also porn is about fetishizing. That’s just how it is, everyone on earth has something hot about them. That called being human.
We’re all just intelligent animals, at best this conversation is two birds chirping at each other… And most people aren’t even clicking trans categories. This isn’t most “straight” men. It’s a small minority.
What’s more trying to villify them just represses these closetted queers and self-hating Republicans more. Just accept them. It stops them being so evil if we can help them stop self-hating.
…and what about BDSM anyways? Why is that porn okay if you’re so freaked out about some trans person playing sub for their partner whilst some queer guy pretending to be straight sits on the cuck chair hating himself.
It’s a fantasy world. Let people have/do their weird ass porn, don’t pretend that it has some existential crisis of morality attached (so pearl clutching). I love it how sex positivity and being against kink shaming immediately gets thrown at the window when someone starts imposing their morality.
People having their little favourites in quiet desperation - who gives a shit? It’s part of how people fall in love develope empathy for people they claim to see as dirty… Have self realizations about who they are. Who humanity is. It’s happened throughout time.
Humans who can’t accept human patterns are hilarious. Anyways, I’ll let you get back to your morality panic parade or whatever this is. Don’t forget you’re saving the planet! …such a self-worth turn on!
P.S Just remember that thing you like, whatever it is - is dirty and wrong too… And makes you orgasm for some reason. That’s how sex work. You’re just participating in the species culture in your own way. It all comes down to the same thing - engorged overstimulation. But maybe you’re having trouble none of my business.
*The one valid complaint here might be that Capitalism and anti-trans cultures force trans people into porn. But that’s a problem with Capitalism… Which I’ll note: you didn’t mention. Redistributive politics should outrank recognition (identity) politics. Because it’s the true cause of most of what people complain about. In closing: complaining about human nature and historical/sexual/cultural patterns kinda silly, complaining about Capitalism… Is more likely to actually produce something that meaningful changes things.
If it’s far away and their actions can’t prevent of change it then why do they need to know about it?
Have you seen CPG Grey’s Rules for Ulers vodeo (I think it’s titled “You would be a bad ruler” or something? It details how governments are themselves hemmed in by people who are their “keys to (getting and staying in) power” that agendas are set.
But also the idea of humanity as something other than a hive responding to ambient signals. I don’t know how true that is. Have you ever tried and failed to change some inevitability of the world? It doesn’t exactly fill you with hope and autonomy.
Stuff just literally happens beyond our control. Find the minimum awareness you need for the news (which ots self can be full of half-truths and “maybe” facts) - and then focus your life on your life. Mental health included.
Once you see the details of how it all wprks you start to just be able to observe it. Hell there are Prime Ministers and Presidents who struggle to be able to effect changes they want. The hive, the pragmatics of power… I mean, shiiit at best these things are about reputation and culture and even that operates on scalez beyond comprehension or control.
Bees in a hive, dancing to invisible signals and cues.
Well duh, trans people are a very small minority. I think we could go further and come close to saying all porn across the board is mostly consumed by straight identifying men… With perhap the exception of gay porn, but even there who knows (hence saying straight identifying men).
And with the power of AI we’re going to keep making those delays LONGER!
Give the planet over to a probability matrix which is based on the collective works of lifeforms (us) who require that planet to survive…
OR choose to keep surviving and creating your own works, on that planet.
