TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.

My first attempt at daily driving Linux was Bazzite. I ended up switching to Aurora and I’ve been there ever since. I’m really happy that Bazzite is continuing to grow. All of the Universal Blue OSs are great.

I’ve said this many times here, but I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years. I hate that Windows got so bad, but I’m happy that I switched. Linux is great.

It’s hard to put a finger on, but he looks like a PS2 era video game character.

I love just driving around doing nothing in Cyberpunk 2077.

I would suggest against self driving cars for this very reason. The kind of thing in the article is not a hazard while driving.

The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive. Software has gotten a lot more complex over the past couple decades. And just because it came on physical media and could not easily be patched doesn’t mean that it didn’t have bugs. Far from it.

I have a used 2017 Chevy Bolt that I absolutely adore. I bet I could pretty easily disable the OnStar if I was so inclined and paranoid about it somehow getting updates. But I doubt I need to do that.

And take years to learn how to use well

Heaven fucking forbid that a person dedicates themself to learning a perfecting a craft. Meanwhile, you sloppers are out here thinking you’re gonna take over the entertainment industry with your, “Yo Sora, make me a movie that’s like Pulp Fiction crossed with Fight Club with supernatural elements.”

Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?

Because that’s all that it’s good for. Every year it’s, “Oh this is going to be so much better in 6 months, bro. It’ll be able to generate full movies by then, for sure, bro.” And every year it does get better, but it’s still complete and utter garbage. It’s still slop.

And even if it’s not slop, LLM tech is basically just a repackaged soulless slurry of existing media. Unless there is a fundamental breakthrough in AI tech, it will always be that. LLMs just work that way. It is a limitation of the technology.

If you can’t see that, then you truly don’t understand what this tech is.

Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.

People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.

Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.

People don’t need AI slop at all. At least meat provides sustenance.

Not trying to put myself or my own worries above the obvious travesty and senseless murder.

I’m just sharing my perspective and not making any political points.

You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.

People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.

And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.

Meat, whether you think it’s moral or ethical or not, serves a need. People need to eat. People don’t need AI slop.

It’s kind of like saying, “Well yeah I leave this 50kw diesel generator running 24/7. It’s way less environmentally damaging than meat. No, I’m not using the power it generates for any real purpose, but who cares, it’s environmentally friendly!”

Why does your foot look like a Monty Python illustration?

I fly a paraglider. I was paranoid about getting shot before the Hamas attack on October 7. This just worries me more.

It’s all so sad.

Also stock Pixel 7.

I just don’t care enough to try to put something custom on it.

User permissions is my biggest gripe with containers. Most other things are so easy once you get the hang of them.

Lord help you if you want to use a non root user in the container and mount any volumes to it.

I had a roommate that bitched at me for how I washed a pan poorly 20 years ago.

I still imagine arguing with him when I wash dishes maybe 30% of the time. It’s extremely stupid.

Bazzite was my first attempt at really daily driving Linux. I ended up on Aurora dev and I don’t have any reasons to move to something different.

The U-Blue OSs really feel like the future to me.

Incredibly cool tech, but it just works.
