Arrowhead has lost a lot of respect due to the way they run Helldivers 2 and I say it's quite deserved. Every time you get a new piece of kit it comes pre-nerfed. New enemies are often so intensely frustrating to play against that people will simply stop fighting them. Old bugs keep returning CONSTANTLY, telling me that their internal version control and review process is not working. If something is fun, they will stealth nerf it and hope we don't notice.

I have largely stopped playing.

This and World of Tanks have the same degenerative disease. It really sucks when you get maybe one or two good matches out of ten, and then you slowly begin to realize that the very obvious problems you see are not getting fixed and the developers are doing it on purpose. The only winning move after that is not to play.

Stellaris traded away so much of the games soul when they removed the alternate FTL drives.

Best examples I have for each

I agree completely, especially considering the models were trained off human content without our consent collectively or individually. They are ours by all possible interpretations.

I've seen purpose built models for things like patent examination and its clear that AI can be incredibly useful. I think if the implementation of AI was not so abusive and destructive people would not be so unwilling to see the good uses.

The amount of times boomers on worksites called me retarded for not knowing how to do something I'd never done before astounded me.

Meanwhile these fuckers would get real butthurt and start yelling and making a fuss when they'd struggle to find a file they just saved on their PC and you do anything besides silently assist them.

I vowed to be different, to teach my people what it means to be competent and respectful. I tell them I expect to see the same level of professionalism and respect I show them going to everyone around them. It's working! They aren't coming to work high or hungover, they aren't being pieces of shit, and they're communicating with each other instead of yelling insults at each other (well except for when its funny lol).

This has made me unpopular with the boomer leaders but fuck em: we get shit done, we get it done right, nobody gets hurt, and everybody feels respected and doesn't dread coming to work.

There are so many real issues with AI, but being angry about prototyping with it? That is a completely manufactured outrage by extremists who just hate the whole concept of AI rather than its misuse and mismanagement.

AI should be a public good that belongs to us all, managed, metered, and deployed in a way that is environmentally aware. A lot of good can be done, and has been done. We don't need AI girlfriends or surveillance, but we could really use it for research, data, prototyping, etc.. If you can't see this then ask some questions about legitimate use cases and I will share what I know.

I don't care if some guy is prototyping his game with AI assets; that doesn't matter.

I do care if you try to sell a complete product with no actual art, just slop.

I engage with conservative folks on various subs because I find they are often easier to sway over to materialist lefty thinking than liberals are. Post-GamerGate, doing so got me autobanned from a whole bunch of subreddits, including various feminist, socialist, progressive spaces.

As far as I'm aware no right-wing (or adjacent) sub banned me for being a straight up socialist, including places like conservative and mensrights.

This shit is part of why libs suck and will keep losing.

It died before that, with things like the Driv3r debacle.

Modern YouTube reviewers are an improvement over the access journalism of the print mags of the past.

I made one of these for my deaf dog lol
