It’s the next stage of corporate capitalism. It’s actually been underway for the past 20-30 years. We’ve seen the rise of the class of corporate overlords, none of whom could actually do the jobs beneath them, and add value of dubious quantity and quality. They take their MBAs and leveraged debt, and hack and chop, leaving a trail of chaos and dysfunctional broken companies behind them.
AI is just the next phase of this, and is going to be an economic destroyer, not value creator. Nobody seems to care that it can’t actually really do much useful, let alone replace people in their jobs. This seems completely lost to all of these corporate dweebs though, because again, none of them could actually do any of the jobs beneath them when the chips fall.
What AI could maybe replace though, is the executive lair of most companies. It’s not like neither add any fucking value, actually having AI in an executive role would probably lead to value creation, as everyone else could just largely ignore it unless it was useful.
What a world we live in.
Broderbund is right up there with top tier game makers, their games may be largely relegated to the history books now, but for all the right reasons. You didn’t even have to be a big video gamer, to appreciate one for their products (think Carmen Sandiego or Sim City). They definitely had an outsized impact on the industry, and I think we’d all be in a better place today if companies like them were allowed to thrive. Instead we get private equity, beta tier releases and preordering. Not to even mention all these stupid remake$
Bluesky is definitely quite different. I’m a fairly centre kind of person, maybe a bit left leaning in a lot of ways, but bluesky is definitely attracting a lot of extreme left users. I mean it’s not like that’s a totally bad thing, I’d rather deal with extreme left than extreme right any day of the week, and I still hope the platform is successful. I just don’t find myself using it that much because most of the content is a bit over the top. Also it’s owned by Mormon backed private equity, so there’s that too…big fan of federation social media these days.
I’m afraid all the conventional rules are out the window. I mean when the stakes are becoming what they are, you do what needs done. That doesn’t involve going to Congress, writing bills that will never get passed or going before a supreme court where the conclusion is decided before the case even gets underway.
Crying on CNN isn’t going to stop what’s going on, I know that much for sure.
They need to start fighting fire with fire. It’s not like the other side is that intelligent in a lot of ways, so trying to fight with logic isn’t going to get this done. Start a misinformation campaign like they do or something. Damn glad it ain’t my problem, don’t get me wrong. But I do see both sides of it, and democratic arrogance is how we are here too, in a lot of ways.
As brain dead as this is, maybe quit running women in must win elections. I ain’t saying it’s right, or that’s fair or just (it shouldn’t even be a thing). But it’s literally stacking the odds against you in insurmountable fashion. Nothing against Kamala, but if was pretty clear right out of the gates she was going to lose, and they just ignored it.
It’s time for Democrats to knock this shit off. Oh but the rules, but the rules.
PSA: People that openly flout laws and systems of order, don’t give a shit about the rules bud. No wonder they lost. Load of impotent geeks is what they are.
My experiences with HW3 and HW4 have been horrifying. I always turn off the FSD trials whenever they push, and the bastards still find a way to enact and screw up my cruise. The car itself is fine, but this FSD shit is a legit scam.
AI is just fancy Google. I have yet to see it produce anything actually useful, or at least much more than a simple Google search could produce a decade ago. It’s like the world’s done lost its mind.
The Horizons are just literally too much, they are overwhelming. Yet at the same time, they start to feel repetitive, like there will be a few good speed challenges or a handful of races that are enjoyable. Other than that, there’s so much, yet it feels so dead.
Forza Motorsports, the latest iteration was straight up trash. The online multiplayer has been wrecked by people that just outright cheat, like it’s so bad it’s blatantly obvious. You have no way of winning if you aren’t cheating, and most likely will end up in a pileup somewhere in the back because no one can drive. The story mode has been wrecked by a progression system that just literally makes no sense. It’s arguably a fairly attractive game to look at, but totally empty inside.

Sure as shit would flip the PC market on its head. That’s needed.
I’m not a big believer in customer shaming. This shifts the blame from the root cause.
This last iteration of Forza was awful. If that’s how it was going to be for this franchise going forward, good riddance. I’m sorry for the human impact this has though, that parts not lost on me. But the product was complete shit. Leaves a cavern sized hole in the market now. Forza has had a monster sized impact on the genre. That cannot be ignored.
I’m so over this AI nonsense. I use AI as a barometer at work, in that the more they talk about AI, the more I know they are adding fuck all to the organization and aren’t actually doing any work.
Heck all of the MTV Unplugged shows were great. This one especially though
She said see you later boi
So is AMD with their availability of literally three video cards in stock for all of North America at launch. Which in turn just fuels the scalpers. Downvote this all you want guys, AMD is just as complicit in all of this, they’ve fuelled this bullshit just as much.
Voting is kind of lame IMO. I wish it would die with Reddit. Large or small votes, my feed always seems to still be what it is, and I don’t filter by votes or anything like that. Don’t pay it much attention other than to maybe acknowledge the person above me.
Actually if my local community subreddit taught me anything, I’ve often got more in common with the downvoted folks.
