I tried to download more ram once and now my computer keeps opening up some Russian banking website at odd hours of the night.

Heavens no, they have families to feed. The kids monitor the print process, use their fingers to test nozzle temp, load spools, and allow management to work out their problems through various forms of abuse.

- Comment on Zoom CEO envisions AI deepfakes attending meetings in your place 5 months ago:
They will have managers and supervisors using AI to generate the contents of the meetings based on reports and emails, an AI avatar will give the meeting, AI avatars of employees will attend and summarize the meeting into an email the employee reads.
They will consider it a great investment of company reaources because it improves efficiency, corporate consultants will make their metrics and get their unreasonble commissions, management will get bigger bonuses; WHEN IT COULD ALL HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL FROM THE START!!!

Sounds like AI will finally convert pointless meetings into the emails those meetings should have been.

We all know sexbots will be our inevitable end. X has come to terms with this and is ushering in our downfall, as always.
- Comment on EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful” 6 months ago:
A “simple” mod would probably work, but we know how bad things are getting with game devs so I would expect them to do everything they can to prevent circumventing their ad revenue. Streaming games will also make anti-ad measures far more difficult and publishers are going to try and make all games streaming for “security and product quality”. In 20 years the older gamers are going to be fuming at all the BS compared to how things were.
- Comment on EA are thinking about inserting adverts into games - but don’t worry, it’ll be “very thoughtful” 6 months ago:
With the steadily increasing processing power available, refining AI video generation, and internet connections being ever more mandatory the end result will be AI generated ads inserted into false loading screens.
There have been games with ad space that could be changed, billboards and posters, there will be more of that in the future. You won’t see fake products put in the game to flesh out the environment, you will see real products put in the game as marketing.
The amount of advertising and marketing we are exposed to in the real world will be mirrored, if not exceeded, in videogames and that makes me sick.
Marketing departments are just behind corporate lawyers, corporate consultants, and executives in the line to hell.
- Comment on This New Dating App Is Only for People With a Credit Score of 675 and Above 7 months ago:
It is more a matter of convenience and saving time.
$100 gets you on the list that matchmakers working for the $800 and $4,000 tiers find a match from. It isn’t for hookups, relationships only. So instead of swiping and going on dates that won’t go anywhere because those swipe profiles are lacking meat and fraught with deceptions, you only go on dates with people that could actually be a match for a long-term partner. The $4,000 tier can also have dates planned and sorted out that both people will enjoy, so it is less hassle and bad date spots. So you avoid taking a vegan to a restaurant that surprisingly doesn’t have vegan options.
Not to mention the whole background check part, so you will be more likely to avoid a bad situation.
There is a money-back guarantee, but I don’t know how solid a deal that is or if it only functionality applies to the higher tiers.

I can also watch it on pornhub, it is still a filming of a theater performance and not a movie musical.
- Comment on Spaceman | Official Trailer | Netflix 10 months ago:
Uncut Gems and Hustler were pretty good.
All the same the Turkey Song, Water Boy, and Billy Madison are ever present when I watch his newer films.

- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Announced for Next Week 11 months ago:
I bought it when it came out and played it for like 20 hours, after that I decided I wasn’t enjoying the game and shelved it. Picked it back up after 2.0 and have enjoyed it much more.
Wait for the final patch, but 2.0 is a much better game.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Announced for Next Week 11 months ago:
I like the driving now that I understand it is more simulation than arcade. You can’t just hammer the gas all the way down because you will have no traction, unlike GTA. You have to either slow down to turn, or you have to learn to slide turns. The steering is a little hard to get used to, but tweaking the settings makes it much better.
