I don’t hate the concept as is, I hate how it is being marketed and shoved everywhere and into everything by sheer hype and the need for returns on the absurd amounts of money that were thrown at it.

Companies use it to justify layoffs, create cheap vibed up products, delegate responsibilities to an absolutely not sentient or intelligent computer program. Not even mentioning the colossal amount of natural and financial resources being thrown down this drain.

I read a great summary yesterday somewhere on here that essentially said “they took a type of computer model made to give answers to very specific questions it has been trained on, and then trained it on everything to make a generalist”. Except that doesn’t work, the broader the spectrum the model is covering the less accurate it will be.

Identifying skin cancer? Perfect tool for the job.

Giving drones the go ahead on an ambiguous target? Providing psychological care to people in distress? FUCK NO.

Pros: you form a parasocial relationship with what is essentially a sophisticated next word guessing device additionally railroaded into keeping you engaged

Cons: see pros.

I also cannot stress enough how cripplingly unhealthy that would be for you, what happens is that you form an echo chamber with a decidedly not intelligent machine that is optimized to keep you coming back, so its owners make more money. It is not made to make you happy, or to actually be there for you, only to sell you the impression.

There are various articles about people doing just that, and then they are talked into unhealthy to extremely harmful behavior by those devices, ranging from extremism to suicide.

Understanding them from context works reasonably well yes, but they are still odd letters in modern usage, most people couldnt use or type these on their devices without extra steps.

Seems unnecessarily complicated for everyday use. Being a german myself i also do not use our Umlaute outside of communication in german, because barely any other reader can make sense of ä, ö, ü. Simpler to just spell them accordingly as ae, oe, ue.

Sovereignty as a Service

Why?

I feel like there is some redundancy here with the guy throwing rocks and the guy throwing glass bottles at street signs. I think one friend could manage to do both

Your instance does…

I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.

Understandable they are pissed. Paying in advance for games not yet made is a fucking scam, develop your shit and convince me with a finished, polished product.

I’m also sceptical of the bunch of promotional fluff in that link, that generally means less substance more bullshit in a game.

As a release version male i cant relate

E: God dann i missed the other comment referencing that omega cringe line

Lets say i sell you one thing for 5 bucks. And i also want to sell you 100 of the things for 500 bucks. Are these the same deal to you? Why not? The savings are the same no?

I’m just saying, rich men can pick and choose from gorgeous women. Being physically attractive isn’t enough, those dynamics stop working when serious money and/or status is involved. They will choose women who have more going on for them than that, provided they are even okay with a transactional relationship. Rich marries rich.

And then, if you get “in” so to say, you definitely should expect to be reduced to the transactional nature of the relationship. He pays for everything, so you are expected to fulfill the role of a fuckmaid. Once you are no longer as attractive as the other 20somethings looking to land a rich husband he will likely cheat on you and/or just divorce you. With a prenup.

Can i be in the manifesto screenshot too dear feds

My client doesn’t show these things, and i’m honestly not interested enough in the matter to read someones bio to put their odd form of expression into context, even if it would show them.

For the sake of efficient communication i would suggest adjusting either by putting that context in your comment or by expressing yourself more clearly.

Who is “we” in this?

Sounds funny but there are enough former wrestlers / tv hosts / influencers who are taking a stake at politics right now to turn me off the idea. Qualified people please.

Nothing wrong with it, but it lacks the class and dignity generally associated with a head of state and/or their partners. Though it is of course fitting right in with the rest of the shitshow.
