When the alternative is dealing with the absolute horseshit quantity of ads that YouTube desperately wants to shovel down my throat, I’ll take Invidious any day of the week.

It may not be in perfect condition but it’s still good enough to use!

Honestly, this is a really well made article. They’ve got a damn good point.

And like, it’s not even a good gimmick. It’s a serious labour issue because the primary intent behind a lot of AI has always been to just phase out workers.

I’m all for ending work through technological advancement and universal income, but this definitely wasn’t going to get us that, so…

Well, why would I support something that mostly just threatens people’s livelihoods and gives even more power to the 0.1%?

Not an American, but I realised it when I had to talk one of my online friends out of suicide because he almost worked himself to death (ten or more hour shifts six days a week for over a month) and couldn’t afford rent.

Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker

Also I’m about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn’t a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

Holy shit!!!

Corporate lust for money, my dude

Yeah, they had that one coming. Stuff in there is just straight up insanely overpriced

It’s almost as if having one of the worst reputations of any video game ever is damaging to your long-term health…

Still, I can’t really roast them. League of Legends genuinely did clean up their act when it comes to toxicity, and as hard as I tried to kick the habit, I still find myself going back and playing the occasional match of Heroes of the Storm, which is owned by a much scummier company that deserves to crash and burn.

And really, the MOBA genre isn’t as dominant as it once was in general either. It’s been a gradual decline, there’s been no big disaster that crashes everything. Just there are other genres in style right now. All things considered, I think LoL is doing totally fine given the circumstances. Nothing to worry about, so don’t be disheartened if it’s a game you enjoy.

Bits operate in a fundamentally different way to neurons. Until we create hardware that can emulate the way neurons process information, we’re wasting time and money chasing ‘AI’

I don’t like AI because it’s literally not AI. I know damn well that it is just a data scraping tool that throws a bunch of ‘probably right’ sentences or images into a proverbial blender and spits out an answer that has no actual comprehension or consistency behind it. It takes only an incredibly basic knowledge of computers and brains to know that we cannot make an actual intelligent program using the Von Neumann style of computer.

I have absolutely no interest in technology being sold to me based on a lie. And if we’re not calling this out for the lie it is, then it’s going to just keep getting pushed by people trying to make money off the concept at the stock market.

Can you even imagine being this based?

I need to check this game out

Lancer fandom can leak a bit. As a treat <3.

Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?
