16·5 days agoThey should just make a YouTube video. That’s what everyone is watching anyway.

news@lemmings.world•Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ is a symbol of the president’s own isolation after his Davos debacleEnglish
7·19 days agoNone of them are his friends and do not give a single shit what happens to him or the US as long as they get what they want. It’s the same thing with his cabinet and all the Republicans in Congress. They probably all hate his guts just as much as we do and are just taking advantage of the situation for personal gain.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICEEnglish
25·20 days agoI remember last year when there was a trend of AI generated videos that depicted animals or people doing ridiculous and crazy things on doorbell cameras. Everyone was surprised at how realistic they looked but never questioned why there was enough training data of doorbell cameras to make them in the first place.
Not that relevant, but it makes it pretty clear how “private” this data was in the first place.

10·22 days agoHoly shit that is going to be a train wreck.
I wonder what the actual price comparison is for hiring an artist to do your logo or paying for a premium image generation service. At least an actual artist wouldn’t write “I just farted” all over the logo so there is that.

Technology@lemmy.world•After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND businessEnglish
3·29 days agoI mean, you took the first sentence out and ignored the rest of what I said. My point was that yes that is a reason, but it’s not the only reason. My point was they don’t wanna sell to consumers because Elon Musk is just gonna pre-order their entire stock for the next two years.

144·1 month agoWhat’s crazy is that they aren’t just doing this because they make more money with AI. They’re doing this because these AI companies have basically pre-ordered a fuck ton of components that have not been manufactured yet to be put into computers that haven’t even been made yet for datacenters that are not even built yet all on an electrical grid that hasn’t caught up. As long as the manufacturers get paid they don’t really give a shit, but this is so unsustainable it would be hilarious if it weren’t so catastrophic for the rest of us. And as long as the line goes up as they all circle jerk their money around they’ll all be happy and can pretend the economy is good.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Its so transparently disgusting how ICE is occupying northern states where illegal immigration is hardly an issue. The aberration of slavery has never gone away in the USA.
31·1 month agoI mean, slavery was only abolished about 161 years ago in 1865 and the Civil Rights act was only about 62 years ago in 1964. A lot of the older people in our government were in their teens or kids when the civil rights movement was going on. This isn’t some kind of past that we’ve left behind, it’s literally the present as our elected officials have carried their prejudices into old age. And these same boomers could have even had great grand parents that owned slaves.
Yes, it’s generational hate that they’ve passed onto our generations. But that implies that those exact same people aren’t around anymore which they very much are and are running the government and making the rules. I mean, Trump was almost 20 when the Civil Rights Act was signed and I don’t think he was someone that was on the right side of that fight.
Obviously I’m writing this from the perspective of a white person and what I’m saying sounds pretty ignorant, and I get that. But at the same time this seems to be something people with privilege seem to forget. We’ve definitely made a lot of progress in a short period of time but it’s barely been half a century. I’m sure most people of color have a family member that had to fight for their rights and were told about it when they were growing up and already understand everything I just said. Realistically we didn’t even make it a couple generations before we went to… This. And it’s kind of pathetic and disappointing.
As a feet guy, I will never forgive people like him that have turned the foot fetish into the joke it is today. Makes us all look like creeps and it’s almost impossible to bring it up in conversation in any serious way anymore.
Also he’s kinda just an awful person. Most of the time he adds himself into his own movies it’s so he can be a creepy perv or so he can say the n word.
Some of his movies are pretty good though.

World News@lemmy.ml•Trump says US has "captured" Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife in "large scale strike" - latest
191·1 month agoI’ll believe it when I see it. And not some bullshit ass AI generated photo that Trump will inevitably post. I mean real proof. Since when has Trump told the truth? And remember back in the day with Bush and his huge “mission accomplished” sign?
It doesn’t take a lot of tech skill to be an exec for a tech company. My guess is they fall into the same category as those that see the AI overview on Google and think “wow this is so much better” and never second guess the results.
If you think Lemmy doesn’t have a bot problem I’m sorry to be the one to burst your bubble. Sure, it seems less pervasive over here but they are just as numerous. The only difference is bots you agree with and bots you don’t. There’s only one group of bots you are going to be sceptical about and it’s getting harder to spot them by the day.
But also, Reddit isn’t doing jack shit about it these days. I go there to check the news sometimes when things are slow everywhere else and it’s literally just the same bot accounts posting the same articles and bots of various political affiliations posting in the comments. You basically have to cross check everything you see on the internet. Sure, it’s a good idea to do so regardless of bots, but the “magic” of other people being on the internet is basically dead.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AIEnglish
10·2 months agoNobody in the AI industry, tech, or government cares. He says all the buzzwords and gives them all what they want. What he says is basically irrelevant at this point. Until something actually happens we’re all gonna read about some sort of “gotcha” moment every day as if it makes a difference so we can have our rage moments and move on after we get our dopamine hit by calling him a moron.
Not talking shit on anyone here, I’m just tired. And I’m tired of seeing a similar headline day after day as if it changes anything.

news@lemmings.world•Poll finds 1 in 4 Americans think U.S. healthcare is in 'crisis'English
1·2 months agoA good thing to keep in mind is that most people don’t answer polls. It’s something I’m trying to get better at remembering, even when it’s the result I want. Like, I’ve pretty much never even met a single person that has answered a poll. What I have seen is everyone in my community says healthcare in the US is dogshit and has been for decades. My parents, coworkers, friends, acquaintances, the dude that works at the grocery store, the random dude I had a conversation with on a smoke break when I was 20, my classmates in highschool, literally everyone.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 takes home an absurd 9 wins at The Game Awards, more than Baldur's Gate 3 in 2023English
165·2 months agoI guess I’m confused because I didn’t know that “low budget” was now synonymous with “indie.” They are an indie dev that made their first game yet their game doesn’t count as “indie” because they had a budget? What about a game like No Man’s Sky? They were an indie dev that got promoted by Sony and everyone shat on it when it came out and said they bit off more than they could chew. In my opinion, that seems even less fair.
I’m not saying they deserved the award more than any other game, I enjoyed all the games nominated, I’m just saying that if E33 flopped I highly doubt anyone would call them more than an indie dev that tried to punch above their weight just like No Man’s Sky.

news@lemmings.world•Trump says he pardoned election denier Tina Peters; Colorado says it's invalidEnglish
41·2 months agoMy guess is it’ll go to the Supreme Court and they will just give him more power. Either that or Colorado’s governor is gonna cave and let him do it. From what I’ve seen, their governor is pretty pathetic and usually bends over for Trump whenever he’s asked to.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 takes home an absurd 9 wins at The Game Awards, more than Baldur's Gate 3 in 2023English
18·2 months agoIn my honest opinion as someone that had played and enjoyed both games, they both deserved the awards in their own ways. I think Kingdom Come is definitely a better RPG in general, but at the same time E33 is an amazing game that is an RPG. It’s semantics at this point and I think it’s more of a lack of categories. RPG is such a loose term these days that I feel like it should be sub-divided into a few more. Lumping games together and comparing games that are vastly different based solely on a loose term like RPG is disingenuous.



I have not seen a single person say this is a good idea. From Reddit, to Twitter, to Bluesky, and Lemmy. It’s pretty much universally hated everywhere you go.
