Replace magic with AI and you could sell out to tech billionaires in a nanosecond.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•My aunt's boyfriend is getting weird.English
21·12 days agoThis isn’t really the right community for this, but next time he does it loudly go “get your fucking hands OFF me!”
That’s not normal. Not okay. And if your family doesn’t see a problem with it, it’s likely going to cause a bit of a rift. But that’s better than getting raped in the future.

RHEL on servers, then either Debian LTS or Fedora on desktop. Been interested in Zorin OS but haven’t gotten around to trying it yet. Curious if their Windows application integration is as seamless as they claim.

Games@sh.itjust.works•New Price Changes for PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal remote playerEnglish
12·1 month agoThis is the first time my console I purchased around launch has appreciated in value. Several times.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•"At this rate, why make game art at all?": Nvidia DLSS 5 demands a sale damaging and stock tanking fightback, argues New Blood bossEnglish
8·1 month agoDo you actually believe that DLSS 5’s graphics are good looking? Lighting is completely lost as every character has three point lighting applied to them. Same with surfaces, original lighting is just gone.
Every character looks like they have a pound of makeup on their face. Details get muddled or lost entirely, replaced with what the model decides it should look like instead of the artist’s original intent.
Not to mention hallucinations and other inaccuracies. DLSS 5 uses a 2D frame for its filters. Depth and context are lost entirely as it physically cannot keep track of those things. In images with small, repeated patterns (such as a net), the model completely eats shit and doesn’t know what to do. All on top of ridiculous hardware requirements to even pull it off in the first place.
This is not the future. This is not giving people tools to make better games.
Username checks out at least.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the deal with people liking old devices?English
10·1 month agoBy using an older piece of tech that does one thing, you make doing that thing an activity again. As in, it’s a conscious involvement to do that thing now, it’s not just an app or a side feature of some other device.
For instance, I got an iPod Nano a little while ago and just loaded it with the few hundred songs I care to listen to. I use a fraction of the space of the thing if I care to add more music, but now when I want to listen to music I have to use a specific device to do so. It makes it more of a conscious decision to listen to music and, to me, makes me enjoy it more.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlashEnglish
15·2 months agoLutris has always been a pain in the ass to use. Nothing I set up worked properly. Manually setting things up via Proton has worked just fine for me, so nothing of value was lost with this fiasco.
Just do it. It’s a simple process and will only brick it if you’re an absolute moron.
Are you claiming to have created this meme yourself back in 2016 or earlier?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best thing made from potatoes?English
25·2 months agoTwice-baked potatoes. Bake them, lay them on the side, slice the top off, scoop out the potato while leaving the skin intact like a little boat. Mash the spuds with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, cheese, and bacon bits (scallions too if you like them - I don’t), scoop back into the potato, shred more cheese on top, bake until melted.
Perfection.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•I replaced the caps that were disintegrating from a month or so ago!English
7·2 months agoI’m not that person from before, but that is still pretty dirty. Those shoulder buttons are yellow, the grey plastic seems to be covered in a film of what I assume is oil from a person’s hands, and what are those brown things on the side? I assume clips for some kind of rear protection.
That said, no drift yet is astounding. Even the people I know who baby their electronics experienced drift eventually. When did you get this? Curious if it’s a newer model and they made some changes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."English
78·2 months agoThink of the dumbest person you know. Not that one. Dumber. Dumber. Yeah, that one. Now realize that ChatGPT has said “you’re absolutely right” to them no less than a half dozen times today alone.
If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic, I think we’d have a lot fewer problems with them. If they could be like “this could be the right answer, but I wasn’t able to verify” and “no, I don’t think what you said is right, and here are reasons why”, people would cling to them less.
This is why I suggest every caster either has note cards for their spells or a tablet with their spells bookmarked.
It’s fireball. It’s just gonna be fireball. Just roll your 8d6.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•390TB video game archive being taken offline due to skyrocketing RAM, SSD, and hard drive prices — AI-driven supply squeeze results in closure of one of the largest online video game archivesEnglish
17·2 months agoGuess it’s time to archive Myrient. A group of people could take care of it - split it into categories, download, and then sit on it until a new host can be found.
Entire categories are easy to download with a simple curl call.
