  • You’re missing the point. Spiderman and assassins creed have already been made too. And people are tired of buying ‘that game you played last year but shinier and laggier and with 500 more meaningless fetch quests and collectibles to find’. Game companies will likely continue to refuse to realize this and actually innovate though, and will continue to throw more money and more people at their dying IPs with increasingly diminishing returns.

    I literally never said don’t do the small acts, I think they’re great. I think the meme stating that doing just small acts is ‘enough’ is fucking stupid, of you really want to get into it. Yes absolutely small acts of kindness are amazing and need to be performed far more often. But patting yourself on the back because you held a door for someone or helped an old lady carry her groceries and thinking to yourself ‘i made a difference, now I don’t have to worry or think about anything else’ is a fucking toxic mentality. I wasn’t gonna get this deep on this post but you pushed me. Small acts of kindness are absolutely essentially but they are definitively, 100% not ENOUGH.







  • People who are used to doing actual research and who understand the necessity of things like a peer review process understand how dangerous it is to have something that’s straight up confidently wrong 20% of the time, and yet have people who treat it like the ultimate authority on things. These people have likely seen AI be stunningly stupid in fields they know about and can extrapolate from there that it’s probably stunningly stupid about most things.



  • I have an issue with my laptop on my school’s network, which is likely an issue with the way the network is configured, because I’ve never had the issue on other computers or networks elsewhere, but sometimes my laptop(Linux Mint ThinkPad T490) will stay connected to the network, but say ‘authentication required’ and have no internet access until I reconnect. It also sometimes pops up a password box and asks me to reauthenticate to the network which I do, still using the same saved password. This gets annoying while writing tests that use browser window monitoring software. Like I said, it’s probably an issue with the network but none of the windows or Mac users seem to have this issue so maybe someone has come across something similar or knows how to fix it.
