The problem is these AI companies currently exist on the business model of not paying for information, and that generally includes not wanting to pay content curators.

Google is probably the only one in a position to potentially outsource by making everyone solve a “does this hand look normal to you” CAPTCHA

They can try and train AI to detect AI, but that’s also difficult.

We have one at home: à

Good bot.

I wonder if those numbers have anything to do with the fact that Payday 2 is pretty regularly on sale for like $2,for a mature game, while Payday 3 is $40 for what is essentially a public beta based on the amount of things they’re having to fix/change/update.

Unless they make major changes as proposed by one of their minority stakeholders.

You mean go private, lay off a bunch of their devs, and hope the games just produce themselves for free?

Also a good way to wear down your SD port if you remove this with any regularity.

Wow! That’s the skibidi combination I have on my luggage!

Imagine you run a restaurant, and a handful of people offer to pay to wash your dishes for you. Great deal right? But then you notice they start posting reviews of your food on Yelp, but only from the kitchen:

“Steak from the fridge was unseasoned and undercooked - 0/5”

“Chow mein was dry and stuck to the plate like it was sitting on someone else’s table for an hour - 1/5”

“By the time the soda got here, it was flat and fries the waitress dropped off were cold and soggy”

At what point do you decide maybe this isn’t actually in your best interest in the long run? How much do these rubes need to pay you in order to put up with their complications?

First I’ve ever even heard of this!

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

You fucking watch yourself, alright? You’re on thin ice.

User to me falls in a similar category to “client” or “customer”, none are derogatory, but they’re all very transactional. “Fan” or “gamer” feel more familiar, like a hotel “guest”. It’s a minor distinction, but it implies more of a two way relationship, and from personal experience, the language used by leadership tends to closely tie to how employees treat their customers.

just tried disconnecting the “smart” part of my desktop pc. Now all I have is an expensive space heater.

For a professional sysadmin’s home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn’t bank on it.

Hard to have infinite growth without infinite growth.

This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen them apologize for nerfing the weapons that made the game fun for people and then play the “we’re reevaluating how we do weapon balance” card. This is a PvE game, why do weapons need nerfs? If you feel like your game isn’t difficult enough, add a higher difficulty tier for the best players, and let the other 90% live out their bug smashing dreams.

I work in a very adjacent industry, you don’t announce shit early to build hype, you announce it early to shut media the fuck up about “is (business) doing anything?”, “is (business) struggling? (small side project) is not nearly as impressive as (major project released like less than a year ago)”, and to keep investors (who read those garbage articles) happy.

Neither the project teams nor the fans like this system, but the issue is either we feed the news cycle with speculation on the Next Big Thing™️, or let them beat us with a stick until something new comes out.

Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn’t that just Lemmy?

The issue is how hardware manufacturers treat Android. Most 3rd party manufacturers take months if not years to update their under the hood BS to the latest Android, and they end support after 2 years. All the more reason to go with Pixel devices.
