"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

Any company can make a GTA 6, it just takes one funny little trick: have a team build foundational knowledge while they are shipping multiple titles over the course of many years and don't systematically lay them off every time something doesn't make the piles of money you unrealistically expect.

Oh....or that could have something to do with it.

Gamescom AI Slop Thread. Every game from the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies that was actually AI Slop so you don't have to care about it.

Like, I know that not every game is gonna be for me but when a pile of the stuff shown during Gamescom opening night are all souls-likes and I have a history of bouncing off of souls-likes, it REALLY bums me out. New Witcher dlc looks cool though...

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

I have very distinct memories of having to demo Halo 4 for Don Mattrick and realizing that these people just live on different planes of reality I was showing off my mission and when the Mantis showed up with its new cool intro vignette he raised his hand and said to the group -

lol lmao

Current forecast for Washington DC Sunday night. Tens of thousands are expected to attend the UFC fight on the White House’s South Lawn scheduled for 8pm.

Nothing reminds you what a dumpster fire the American healthcare system is like getting an email from your primary care physician of the last 5 years informing you they will no longer accept your insurance as of July 1st. This country fucking sucks, y'all!

Welp.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

Y'all, I'm so fucking tired of being told "well, who's gonna pay for it" whenever the topic of single payer health care comes up but there's ALWAYS infini-money for waging war on the other side of the planet. I'm just so damn tired.

JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Finding out /pol/ was likely inspired by an Epstein meeting is further proof the online alt right is not the natural progression of conservatism but a psyop determined to capture, radicalize, and mobilize young men. Book becoming more relevant as I write it!

“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

Hey, just remember, even claiming it for free from the EGS is still putting money in J.K.'s pocket. Don't fucking do it.

Hogwarts Legacy is free on Epic Games Store. Mystery game is the next title buff.ly/HE94Ti2

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Just a random thought: did Microsoft ever fix any of the issues that occur with sleeping/hibernating windows devices or is that all still just several kinds of funky? Asking for anyone thinking about buying the Xbox ROG Ally

The only way any of this makes sense is if it's secretly a sequel to Spec Ops The Line where the main character is losing their mind and also hitting the hallucinogenics SUPER hard.

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

You know the drill: do not engage. Block them all and don't engage with their bullshit. The crap they are posting is bait. Do not engage.

So they canceled this game because of how a handful of the worst people on the internet reacted to a black man? Cowards.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke www.gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubis...

Dudes rock

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

Hell yeah! This is for me! Give me another Virtual Boy for my home, Nintendo. I'll display it next to my original Virtual Boy.
