can't take "LLMs are people" discourse seriously when we haven't even convinced everyone that all people are people.

Might not be entirely accurate since I have basically never played a MonHun so I had to guesstimate with analogues in other games, but (Also, the quiz burasut.com/en/monsterhu... )

Result from a Monster Hunter personality quiz that shows that my highest match was 75% to Rathian, saying "Fierce wheen protecting what is yours. Stable and aware of everyone around you." As well as showing some stats based on answers, some of which are sort of accurate, like middling sociability and ambition, or high caution and decent cooperation. But others seem more off the mark, like high initiative and low curiosity.
Apparently 9.2% of other people who took the quiz got this result.

My second and third highest matches were Mizutsune and Garangolm with 63% each, but no descriptive text for those. I'll have to see if someone got those results and posted a screenshot to sate my own curiousity.

So, one thing that continues to befuddle me, I guess, is why on Earth people use the ai slop font in content that doesn't seem to otherwise be/use ai. Like just...use any other font. It only makes me assume you're using ai somewhere in the pipeline that's not visible, so I don't want to watch/look.

One of the reasons I tend to not bother with horror games. Not even the biggest one! But it can be all too fast to hit the point where tension and fear flip to annoyance upon dying. (The bigger reasons are: Limited movement and limited resources, which bother me way more than anything spooky)

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines.

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos

'Wait, fr*ck (frick censored for comedic effect. It's not very funny), I meant that to be hyperbolic but that's actually accurate and possibly undershooting how long it's been.'

And so I have once again been reduced to dust for at least a few moments."

I will never get over the betrayal of how far and how quickly Air Gear drifted from the premise of "high tech skates that let you do hyper parkour to carve up the city and the sport and turf wars that came from that" to "nonsense, combat that barely has anything to do with skating, not in the city."

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" A simpleton looking peasant yells as they smash the wooden machine.

The standard narrative goes that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. (But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.)

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

This Q&A from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social reminded me of a skeet from @gregpak.net a while back on Microsoft and how annoying subscriptions are for Office now; back in the day, you just get a disc of it and keep it forever.

One solution is to record your words in ways you can control. I hate that Microsoft Word and some printers now require subscriptions to work instead of letting you own them and use them in private. They have managed to cheapen self-expression while making it more expensive. The future may lie in the past: pen and paper, typewriters, other analog tools. But it is difficult to share your ideas without using the internet, which means battling algorithms, censorship, paywalls, and AI fakes. They want you to trade your humanity for chatbot hallucinations. They want you to surrender. Don’t.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live.

"This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario."

The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD."

Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version."

PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement.

Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"
