"Define "word"" used to give you all definitions of a word. Now it gives you a 5 paragraph small model AI overview for a meaning of the word you didn't even want, and no alternative definitions. That was my most used Google search feature.

@rushicrypto Yes and no. It was more clandestine in the past. People were tricked into thinking everyone was nice and that we were all the same while our societies and civilizations were being constantly sabotaged and destroyed.

Older generations: was the world this hateful 30 years ago? 40? Because this world is just heartbreaking.

@Bonecondor @max21e8 Meatspin, 2girls1cup, etc. etc.

remember how the millennial internet was full of colorful memes and weird stuff, and then joyless spiritually devoid ironypilled zoomers came along and bullied the millennials out of using gifs, and now the whole internet is devoid of whimsy and tomfoolery?

@Bonecondor @insiliconot What? No, that's all zoomer shit. You're talking about tiktok and instagram, which are STILL doing that same shit. Just open up the applications and view it.

@insiliconot think back to four years ago when there were still people here think back even longer to when millennial internet was full of people doing dances, cooking, making crafts, and funny memes

@JVStewartBuilds @brunbitty Hardly constructed. You think it's constructed because you haven't paid attention and don't know how construction actually works. The moment you actually study it and analyse your surroundings, you'll quickly realise it's almost all utter shit. Literal sewage everywhere, etc.

@brunbitty I get the sentiment, but we live in a constructed world, not a fake one. I believe the trap is believing you have no agency inside the system.

Okay, so if I'm understanding this correctly, we live in a fake world full of fake people who work fake jobs to make made up fake money with fake school systems, fake political parties that are led by fake leaders, with fake entertainment and fake media, all to keep us distracted from the fact that everything's fake.

@harrisondubay @Heritage_Farm73 That is how fire works, yes.

@Heritage_Farm73 Everyone knows this two feet will stop fire from spreading. Duh.

Why are Anglos obsessed with houses that don’t touch. What is the anorexia alley achieving

@harrisondubay @shanewallick Land is not more expensive than sound proofing square metre. This should be obvious, because sound proofing isn't literally nothing.

@shanewallick Land is much more expensive than good sound proofing surely. Four or five of these and you can make an entire extra townhouse.

@harrisondubay @shanewallick They can.. it's just fucking expensive. Money is real, you do know that, right?

@shanewallick I find it very hard to believe that modern construction solutions cannot achieve the sound proofing of what 2ft of nothing between bricks can

@harrisondubay Acoustics.

@Fistocrat @J_Scott_Art @TylerGlaiel Which model?

@J_Scott_Art @TylerGlaiel except it's not, because it cranks out incredibly generic stuff that looks like it belongs in a mobile game ad.

Idk maybe this is crazy talk but I feel like concept art is like, one of the worst possible places you could use AI. Usually that's where you want to be the *most* creative.

@TylerGlaiel ...are you kidding? You come up with a few dozen concepts with AI in a second. You look at them. You take things you like from them. You let them inspire you. Then you create your own version.

@uknonjones @jogamedev Assume they left it on in the background?

This isn't really related to the topic, but what's better for you? Someone who says they enjoy a game but doesn't play it for long, or someone who says they don't enjoy a game but plays it for a very long time? Because I published a game recently, and a person didn't like it but played for 14 hours (even though the game only has a 30-minute playtime).

Gamedevs, here's how to actually validate if your game prototype is worth putting serious time and/or money into: 1. As soon as it's playable at all, play it yourself and be honest with yourself if you're having fun. 2. If it is fun, show it to family or friends and see how long they play it (important: do not pay attention to if they say it's fun, but how long they play it). 3. If your friends and/or family play it for longer than you were expecting, then give it to strangers to playtest. When you do this have a survey in the game to try to tease apart what makes it fun, why, and what doesn't feel good (where the friction is). By the end of this process, you've validated that it's fun and found out what your next steps are.

@jogamedev If a completed game that's well received and is genuinely enjoyable isn't enough, then how could my shitty prototype pass the test?

@jogamedev An interesting theory, but in practice, I don't think it'd work. The reason? Even when I buy great games for my friends to play - games that are completed and have done well - I'm lucky if they play more than an hour of them.

@0x45o Because it's based on biological hardware which damages itself through functioning. By resting, it allows for a healing period so that we can use it again.

why does our consciousness need to rest every night?

@ashlee3dee guy who has optimized games: why don't they just optimize the game

guy who's never optimized a game: why don't they just optimize the game

@german_escritor @TheOtherFrost @AmericanGadfly2 Completely wrong. 100% AI-generated can be copyrighted by copyright law. Should it be? No, officially it isn't meant to be. However, IN REALITY, people respond to DMCA takedowns regarding 100% AI-generated work. I've seen it happen.

@TheOtherFrost @AmericanGadfly2 Content that is 100% AI-generated cannot be protected; however, foundational content that you enhance with AI *can* be. If you write a book and use AI to animate or illustrate it, the story remains protected and yours; it is the visual assets that fall outside of this protection

Not to be confrontational, but what is the business plan behind selling genAI drawings, games, movies, music when your customers could ALSO use genAI to make their own?

@TheOtherFrost @AmericanGadfly2 Again. Not "how would it", it's "how DOES it", you fucking imbecile. Seriously, what level of IQ does someone need to have to be able to understand the passage of time and basic grammar?

@AmericanGadfly2 Is your whole thing just ignoring that copyright exists for traditional art and that genAI has no copyright protection? I'm not asking what gives traditional art value. I'm asking how would genAI make money?

@TheOtherFrost @AmericanGadfly2 You've said you don't have the skills, and that we should assume you're very lazy. You've answered your own scenario. How can you possibly copy the work of the AI masters? You don't have access to any of their set ups. It's not public, you know - you only get the end result.

@AmericanGadfly2 Assume I'm very lazy, don't want to pay, and don't want to break the law What's stopping me from just copying the work of the AI masters? How does one run a business like that?

@TheOtherFrost @BrownCoyoteStu Democracy implies voting, not equal opportunity. What the fuck are you on about?

@BrownCoyoteStu But that's the current pitch for AI. It "democratizes" art. And why buy anything you make when I can just make AI fetch what you generated?
