Oh you're wearing one of those neuralinks. Dont try any of that mind control on me.

😁 I'm so looking forward to use this quote in real life.

Reminds me about that post about wishing humans had a dedicated sound for warning each other about bees.

Theres no single word that can clearly communicate the entire reason, context, and meaning. If we want to tell the reason for the shittyness, then we say that in a full sentence.

Though most people would understand from context if I just said "Bees!" instead of spending an entire sentence telling them where the bees are and why they should run.

β€œHere is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification.”

Platforms that over time is made shittier to serve the business before the user. What definition are you using?

Human nature. Voting with ones wallet will never work as long as advertising, as we know it, exists. We can't really blame the average person to do what an average person does.

Its a good and direct word. I could guess what it meant before I even heard his definition of the word: Things that are willingly made shittier.

"Un-userfriendli-fication" would never catch on.

If you haven't, and you enjoy scifi/cyberpunk fiction, you should read Cory's book "Radicalized". Four short stories, all of them damn relevant to today.

The first story, "Unauthorized bread", is my fav. Hackers versus the coldness of corpos and shitty landlords.

Nah, a charlatan has class. Musk doesn't.

If the models were trained only on data that was out of copyright it wouldnt have been an issue, but nobody want to train on only 100+ years old data. Copyright laws are too long when their content arent culturally useful by the time they are free for public use. It hinders the creation of useful tools, among them these generative AIs. Maybe time for some reduction of those laws to something useful, and at the same time increased strictness for businesses to misuse copyrighted content?

It would probably only have sold as much as D:OS 3. Which wouldn't have been a bad sale either, just not as much as BG3.

Huh. I was wondering about the name change when I bought FC 24 for my nephew this xmas. He made it very clear that they had changed names so that I didnt buy the wrong one, but he didnt say why it had changed. 🀯

I'm no fan of sports games. I dont play sports games. Also the kind of people I hang with also dislike sports games. And the last sport games I read about, a decade ago, had horrible reviews and awful graphics. So therefor I declare the Sports game genre for dead! /s

One tries to recreate an RPG campaign as close as possible to table-top RPG, but on a computer. Was the original definition back when "possible" was very limited.
