Well I for one plan to go early in the apocalypse, because if there is a heaven, I want to stand by the gate watching all the asshole “good Christians” get rejected. Standing there laughing for all eternity will be my heaven.

With the way society is going, that may not be a bad thing.

The planet won’t die. Humanity might, the planet will live on and heal.

Yeah, and it’s worse the more niche. I have no idea if Lemmy has a Fortnite community or if it’s active, but I seriously doubt it has a /r/StarWarsDroidTycoon community (a Fortnite mode), which is what I care about. Or /r/FortniteLeaks

What I don’t get with this federated software, Lemmy and Mastodon. It’s ripe for essentially, server level verification of identity. And I don’t mean check every ID of every user.

But like, this threat talks about game communities. Some larger company, Microsoft, maybe even Valve with Steam, could easily run an instance, and have “official” forums this way. Any anyone on any instance can subscribe and visit. But that way you know that like, I dunno, lame.microsoft/halo is the proper community for Halo. Sure, there may be others, but it can become the place of record with announcements etc.

Same for Mastodon stuff. But that would be more for individuals. But also stuff. Like you could have movie.studio/tom.cruise and it’s verification that it’s the proper Tom Cruise posting. That sort of thing.

Plus, smaller communities have less potential burden from a few large accounts loading the system down.

Etc.

Oh God they are dumping RSS too? Fucking hell that’s the only way I even use that platform anymore since it means getting a handful of news updates on some games without going there.

My main beef these days is they are aggressively pushing “are you a robot” at VPN users.

But then, I don’t think they are to blame, more likely stupid AI shit traffic increasing.

I mean, yes, but they can’t be replaced by AI because AI does the job better, they can be replaced by AI because they produce nothing of actual value.

The local models thing is the real threat. For what 90% of the world who actually cares and wants AI, a local model is probably already “good enough”. Or would be if they could get the hardware, or maybe they don’t know how to set one up.

And homelessness, and actual education for people.

Yeah, “and”.

You could probably actually solve a lot of problems in the world with this money.

Yeah, there is also speculation that part of this build out is intended to force a shortage to get everyone to shift to thin client “cloud PCs” where everyone can be monitored and ad blockers can be avoided.

It’s so delusional.

Like fuck everything AI creates is so generic and bland even generic and bland corporate output looks nice.

Frankly, I find most YouTube content to be super obnoxious, so I would not pay for it anyway. I already barely ever use YouTube outside of trailers and music videos.

God I wouldn’t mind if the ads weren’t so fucking cancer. Like I have streaming with ads and dumb Liberty Bibberty or whatever is fine.

But YouTube, it constantly runs gambling scams and then rolls into a 90 minute “ad” podcast about some bull shit

No kidding. I have literally thousands of games on PC, that are digital. But I also can run a script and have it download all my GOG games to a drive as a backup.

I also have tons of digital music I bought, because I can download it.

I don’t have any consoles newer than PS3 and 360, and I don’t buy digital movies. Because there is no guarantee the digital on those works forever.

I don’t mind the articles, what I mind is annoying though.

This is paragraph two where I reiterate that I am just annoyed by the actual annoying thing.

This is the third paragraph, where I reiterate that I don’t mind articles, again, then remind you that I am annoyed by something else.

This is the seventh paragraph, down at the bottom of the page, where I finally mention my real annoyance is that they don’t make their point until the bottom because they want to get you to read all the repetitive nonsense before hand.

This is the last paragraph, because I know you will scroll to the bottom looking for the true answer, and I need to hide it, like a reverse of the lead up.

I would have never guessed we could make Idiocracy look like it was a smart film about smart people.

Trump literally only cares about distracting from people talking about him being a child rapist.

God the guardrails things. These stupid companies are all hyping up “We need to slow down, we need guard rails!”

Ok.

No one is fucking stopping you. Just… Slow yourself down, guardrail yourself.

Oh wait, it’s just an excuse to create regulatory capture.

Indirectly murdering hundreds of thousands of people in pursuit of profits.
