That’s just fast fire, we can do fast fire!

If your employer doesn’t respect you, it’s not a “good” job, even if it’s a well-paying job.

Man, I hoped there would be a one-click update from somewhere that would make it stable. I’ll put in the elbow grease to get it up and running one of these days, it was a great game.

Oh, I see, you took my comment as directed at OP. Not so. As mentioned there is a strong current of anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy, and it’s often in the vein of “there’s no soul” etc. I was taking aim at that in the context of OP’s comment (because it raises an excellent point), not OP themselves.

Am I, indeed? In my view, either AI art is nothing like human art in which case it’s easy to distinguish, or it’s similar enough that it’s not easy to distinguish, in which case it’s got to be at least very similar.

There’s no middle ground here, you can’t logically hold the belief they’re obviously fundamentally different but hard to distinguish from one another.

If you disagree with that and want me to agree with you, you’re gonna have to tell me why it’s wrong. Sorry, I don’t just change my mind at “nuh-uh” 🤷

proving something is human created and definitely not AI is hard

Is it? I thought we could just look for the soul and/or intention in the art? Because as everyone on Lemmy knows and is always saying, AI art isn’t art because it lacks both soul and intention. Therefore, it should be easy to tell it apart from real proper human art. Shouldn’t it?

Thanks! It was my first “dream” PC build (I got a 9800 X3D in there too), so this follows a period of great anxiety about making such a huge purchase with all the techtubers saying “do not buy!” even back then. The relief I’m feeling at having made a defensible decision is honestly palpable 😅

Man, I snagged a 7900 XTX for $900 out the door last year and I feel very clever for not waiting to see how the 50 series turned out. I cannot believe there are GPUs on sale for damn near $4k, it’s insanity.

Take the following with a boulder of salt as I haven’t even finished a single campaign yet, but:

I’ve found it a lot slower than even most of the 4X games I’ve played. It seems much more story- and exploration-focused than Master of Orion or anything like Starcraft; there are a great many cool things to find on the map. Diplomacy is your main path to victory, military conquest seems almost discouraged. To actually conquer worlds you invade, you have to assert a claim beforehand. Simply flooding the system with troops and ships and killing everything that isn’t your empire doesn’t work for some reason.

It was fine, but I don’t think I really understand it. If you’re after recommendations, though, do you like The Expanse? You might like Starsector, if yes and you haven’t played it.

Imagine being Bobby Kotick and genuinely believing your reputation can be harmed by anyone saying negative things. Actions speak louder than words, Bobby buddy, and we all think you’re an arsehole because of what you’ve done, not because someone told us to.

Bruce Lee, Archmage!

Why do you say you don’t care about climate change, and what would make you care? Climate change is one of those things that’s going to suck for all of us, so even if you have no empathy for anyone else, it’s kinda surprising that you don’t at least care about how it will affect you.

No worries! I have reasons for not installing Telegram myself, but I’m curious what your reasons are? What arguments have you made to him so far and what were his responses?

Dissuade = discourage. Is that what you mean?

I laughed out loud when I read the title of this post. When I’m helping my customers with their domain DNS records, I always analogise DNS to “a phone book for the internet”. I love that we’ve come full circle and phone books are “DNS for the phone system” 😂 (also goddamn does this make me feel old 😭)

Yeah, clearly no component has ever died or could ever die earlier than its longest possible life span for any reason, overheating due to bad/old paste is the only possible reason a CPU in particular might die, you know everything about every system ever built including mine. I see my mistake and bow to your omniscience 🙄

Seriously, I’m embarrassed for you. Good luck in your studies.

I’m not the one who asked but thank you for summarising! It’s late here and I’m too tired for a whole video, so this helped me. Those results are interesting. I’ve been planning on switching from Windows to Linux as my main OS; last time I tried was before the latest AM5/RDNA4 drivers were integrated, so I had terrible instability like Plasma crashing all the time and occasional lockups. I installed Windows 11 so I could at least get my work done, but if my environment can stay stable then it might be time to finish the move.

No power to influence it is incorrect. You do not have the power to change it. However, if you leave, you are a data point. If lots of people leave, they are also data points. Data influences decisions at most companies. This statement does not imply the data is read correctly, nor that the decisions made in light of the interpretation of the data are the best ones.
