  • Yup, I've been seeing more and more people straight use AI results to support their arguments.

  • I was talking about the divorce as a whole. It would have some very serious ramifications. Moving wouldn't be easy, because you'd be doing so under a whole different set of circumstances than moving abroad for studying or for a job. It's not just you, it's everyone who wants to live a "liberal democracy" who would want to move and it wouldn't be easy at all, imo.

    Historically mass exodus aren't fun.

  • This is not just a simple house move, this is a whole on nation move, where you may never get to go back. There's will be massive paperwork, a lot of uncertainty, chaos and pain. From my anecdotal knowledge on what happened in countries like west/east germany, north/south korea, india/pak, I can say that this event will be very stressful for a lot of people.

    Especially if you have to move for your safety. You might have to sell your house for cheaper than what it's worth, you might not be able to buy new land or find good renting opportunities. You might have to sell your business or close down. You might have to find new jobs, new schools, new everything. And some people just don't want to leave their home, no matter how fucked things are, because there's a chance they'll never see it again.

    This isn't to mention, the pain that will come with such a divorce, the shame, and the lost hopes.

    It's definitely hard and complex. I think you are greatly underestimating how traumatic such a move would be for a lot of people (even if it maybe necessary).

  • Realistically this wouldn't be possible, at least in the way most people assume. It's hard for people to just uproot their whole lives and move to another state (though it's easier these days), a partition like this would mean leaving behind a lot of liberal minded people, who are too poor or too rooted in a place.

  • No I assume they're all AAA - sp and live service.

    And I don't have any delusions about them not doing this for sp as well. Hence the comment about how shitty the industry is in general.

    I just think games that call themselves live service aren't games. (Not multiplayer games that also happen to be live service)

  • New ‘Marathon’ Info: Bungie Morale, Launch Worries And Changing Plans

    Jump

  • I don't know of the statistics, so yes, I can't say for sure sp employs more people than live service. But in my opinion live service games are more risky and harmful to the industry as a hole.

    But my original comment was about how it doesn't matter if they created jobs or not because they are trying to replace everyone with AI. Coders, designers, artists... So it doesn't matter sp or live service. They want to not employ anyone and run casinos

  • Ahh sorry, I didn't see the comment earlier.

    Yes, imo live service games are very bad for the people who buy them and the people making it.

    They are only there to make cash. And they make this cash through terrible predatory monetization - loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes. These companies actually want to run casinos that target the most vulnerable and children. You can argue that people wouldn't want to work on this if they had a choice.

    There's almost always very little artistic value.

    At least with sp AAA, you can gain a cult following if you have an interesting gameplay, or story. what are you doing with a live service one? Nothing, just offering the same thing that someone else has already created in another flavour, just to chase a trend. What this means is that they're more likely to fail and not for the fault of the devs for sure.

    They're also bad for preservation of games. All live service games die, you can't play them once support ends. You paid 60 dollars to rent a game? (Though I suppose that's true with sp always online games as well and it's not directly a bad thing for the dev)

    Though... you maybe sort of right, the Industry is so bad right now that it doesn't even matter whether you are working on sp or live service, you are in some sort of hell regardless...

  • Learning how to learn is so important. I only learned that as an adult.

  • I do go to the real source first. But sometimes, I just need a very simple explanation before I can dive deep into the topic.

    My brain sucks, I give up very easily if I don't understand something. (This has been true since way before short form content and internet)

    If I had to say how much I use it to learn, I'd say it's about 30% of the total learning. It can't teach you course work from scratch like a real person can (even through videos), but it can help clear doubts.

  • But I am glad that the most hateful and deranged comments get removed.

    I would be first in line to die on the hill if it was about letting the Jewish people have their own state, everyone has that right. But the original comment wasn't about anything against that, the comment wasn't hateful. It was just arguing a perspective arguing that weapons funding should be cut to the Israeli state to help mitigate the genocide that they are propagating.

    I can't argue for what happened afterwards in-between the admins, but the removal of the comment was unnecessary. Instead of invalidating an arguable issue, it was conversely invalidating the genocide of another group of humans (is it because they are brown?) in an effort to aggressively enforce a law. Whatever the law is, it needs updating from holocaust to genocide in general, otherwise you are picking which skin colored people you are okay with being murdered on mass.

    I would instead ask you to stop pitting two people’s struggles against each other.

    When it comes to the usage of Nazi as a label, the intent matters grossly. If someone was doing this just to satisfy some morbid requirement (like Russia is with Ukraine) then it's obviously wrong, But even there, I think that's a different matter than holocaust denial, it doesn't hurt the Jewish people as much as a state that represents them committing mass murder does. A lot of people died in the holocaust besides the Jewish people you know? And the Nazis were responsible for a lot more atrocities than just that. The Label isn't just for the Jewish people's struggle. Being a Nazi is about being a race supremacist and genociding people.

  • I agree, I've been traumatized by the system. Whatever I've learnt that's been useful to me has happened through the internet, give or take a few good teachers.

    I still think it's a good auxiliary tool. If you understand its constraints, it's useful.

    It's just really unfortunate that it's a for profit tool that will be used to try and replace us all.

  • Thank you for the answer. I guess it's understandable. Though the original comment in this post doesn't deny the existence of an Israeli state.

    But it does mean that I don’t compare it to Nazism.

    This isn't the same as calling someone you don't like a Nazi. But even then, the term Nazi, in this day and age, no longer just means people who idolize Hitler and hate on Jews. Its use has expanded to include all those who are willing to genocide another group of people and more.

    And though I can see the need to separate the semantics within Germany itself, due to its history and laws, its supposed misappropriation is an irrelevant discussion at this stage. A lot of Israeli's are very openly and loudly advocating for the erasure of the Palestinian people, even children and innocent people. It's not even a joke, that they are using the same terminologies and tactics. It is impossible to not conflate them with Nazis.

    This isn't to deny the Jewish struggle, of course, this is to say that calling the Israeli government and stooges Nazis isn't an invalidation of the Jewish struggle. These people are, save for a time machine, literal Nazis (the IDF, the Israeli government and anyone advocating for the erasure of Palestinians).

    You are arguing semantics when we are long past that.

    Even then, it's a flimsy argument. It just feels like another measure to maintain a semblance of historical guilt by the government, not an actual effort to help the Jewish people. If you can show me where "misusing" the label Nazi is worse for the Jewish people and their struggles, than the literal genocide of the Palestinian people by a Jewish state, I'll change my mind.

  • Sure the admin may be unhinged, but removing a post about making a distinction between anti-zionism and anti-semitism?

    I got some translation from their post on it about how they can't tolerate "accusations" of being called zionists? What's wrong with accusations? Removing the comment is sufficient evidence for it.

    Also there's something there about such discussions being precarious because it's against some german,swiss laws? Can someone who knows german explain it a little better? Because it seems like "We will not discuss this because we don't like this discussion"

  • I understand that. I am careful to not use it as my main teaching source, rather a supplement. It helps when I want to dive into the root cause of something, which I then double check with real sources.

  • I have difficulty learning, but using AI has helped me quite a lot. It's like a teacher who will never get angry, doesn't matter how dumb your question is or how many time you ask it.

    Mind you, I am not in school and I understand hallucinations, but having someone who is this understanding in a discourse helps immensely.

    It's a wonderful tool for learning, especially for those who can't follow the normal pacing. :)
