Seems like a great opportunity on PC. No GTA 6 there and no big multiplatform releases either because all of those made way for GTA.

That’s great marketing propaganda

No, it’s an easily verifiable fact. I’m not supporting anything. I’m saying that we should argue against it with arguments that actually apply to the situation, such as DLSS5 destroying artistic intent, having an unreasonable performance cost etc.

DLSS5 sucks for many reasons, but “the ongoing destruction of the planet” is not really one of them, as it runs locally on a regular GPU.

For one, I think it would be immoral to create an actual intelligence to work for us. With a Human-like intelligence, we’d have to assume that it’s conscious, as we have no way of determining the opposite. We’d essentially create a caste of digital slaves.

That aside, I think the potential for abuse is far greater than any benefits. Making the human mind a replaceable thing, and thus diminishing the value of a human, would be incredibly dangerous. Right now, people in power can’t keep that power without some level of human support. Humans can employ their free will to rise up if need be. Giving that up would not be worth the cheap doctors.

Outlawing it entirely would be best IMO. “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind”, to quote Dune. Create something like the Geneva convention that makes it a crime against humanity.

That’s not the case, it works great with (newish) AMD cards as well.

I follow various “question-based” communities like AskLemmy, NoStupidQuestions etc and I have noticed some strange patterns recently. Mainly that some topics come up over and over again, like Nintendo Switch 2, foreign alphabets and foreign languages (especially Japanese). The users asking these questions will often (but not always) delete them after about an hour.

Looking into it further I’ve so far found 5 different accounts asking these questions. 4 of them have very similar profile pictures of characters from FPS video games (Battlefield, CoD and Metro), and they were all created between march 22nd and march 29th. On a recent thread of one of them, I asked them whether they were all alt-accounts. They immediately deleted the thread.

On a similar note, I asked another one of them about their thread deletions about a week ago. Once again, it got deleted rather quickly.

Sooo… Is the dead internet finally coming to Lemmy and we’re seeing an influx of LLM-based bot users which are given instructions on specific topics to talk about, as well as delete any thread where they’re called out? Or am I just being paranoid? Have you noticed any similar patterns on Lemmy recently?

Will I finally get the single player portion of the pack-in game that came with my Radeon R9 280?

So I’m sure some of you have also gotten the spam DMs supposedly from “Nicole, the fediverse chick”. She is notorious enough across Lemmy to even have her own community now. I think I’ve gotten like 6 Nicole DMs. While those may seem amusing on their own, there is the worrying suggestion that they might actually be a deanonymization attack. In light of that possibility, are there any measures the admins here could consider to prevent this kind of attack from happening? Other instances’ solutions include for example rehosting external embedded images, filtering out external images from DMs entirely or trying to implement filters for preventing spam DMs from being sent. Especially one of the former two solutions would in my opinion be quite good options to protect the privacy of pawb.social users.
