I saw that thread, there were some extremely weird and gross responses, one person wrote like 6 paragraphs on how they couldn’t stop using it, with one of the reasons being they “liked the mouth feel”??? It’s baffling the lengths people will go to to justify saying a slur.
Yeah, but I wasn’t replying to the social democrat. I can only go through seeing anarchists and communists be called lib so many times before feeling like the word liberal has lost all meaning and it just becomes another abstract insult
to Those Leftists™, anyone thats left of them, right of them, or has identical political beliefs on everything except one issue are “libs”, its been thrown around so much on lemmy that it takes up the same part of my brain as “woke”, when I see someone use it unironically its generally safe to say I can ignore them.
Lol welcome aboard the DF party ship!
I still remember my most recent fortress mode cyclops, even though its been almost half a year. I had 2 squads who I had been training using training spears, but forgot to change equipment before sending them to kill it, by some miracle, they dodged all of its attacks for about 20 attacks despite having no dodge skills at all, then one of them either punched or bashed the cyclops in the face and got lucky, knocking it out. What followed was around 20 in game days of a circle of 14 dwarves mercilessly beating a puddle of bruises that was once a cyclops, as training weapons do next to no damage, occasionally it would wake up, then immediately give in to the pain again, with the only non bruise damage coming from whenever a dwarf would decide to punch, kick, or bite instead of using their main weapon. It FINALLY ended when one of dwarves punched it in the head, tearing the brain through the skull, putting the poor thing out of its misery.
My dwarves went in competent speardwarves and came out around grand master level, all very dehydrated.
Yeah but its great! Best book game ive ever read!
No. There are hundreds of entirely valid reasons to be wary of AI, especially the fact that the word AI has just turned into a corporate buzzword, when I hear that (insert thing) has had AI added to it, that can mean anything from a single static image that was made using “AI art” , to a large language model being used, or maybe they just grafted chatGPT to it.
Maybe if people and companies stopped labeling everything even tangentially computer related as AI I’d be less dismissive of it, but as it is now, whenever “AI” is mentioned in relation to a product it feels like a “corp wants to artificially increase percieved value by using latest trend” moment
A lot, as in a large amount, its hard to put a finite number on something like a large part of a large community I am not a part of nor interested in.
I am not the only one who has noticed this, here is a skit video from 4 moths ago demonstrating this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBCzH1UyNY
As for sources there are TONS, it takes 5 seconds of googling to find a whole page, including:

Hell, just open one of the NFT marketplaces like opensea, I went to the art tab and the top trending is AI “art”
Also, a large amount of those NFT bros have lately been pushing to allow AI companies to steal artist’s works and otherwise generally licking big AI companies’ collective boot, so not exactly a great look for the future of the industry
The dude on the bottom commissioned various artists to draw characters buying wonderbread, eating wonderbread, attending a theme park dedicated to wonderbread, as well as other things involving wonderbread that I can’t quite remember, thus earning the moniker “Wonderbread dude”
Also NAL, but it seems like they aren’t arguing for server functionality but rather just the ability to play offline at all, which opens up the third option of requiring games to be patched to remove sever requirements if being shut down, in any case this will be a fascinating case to follow, and I hope they go through with the lawsuit.

Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling “AI” isn’t even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text
Personally, I really enjoy Obsidian ( obsidian.md ), its been fantastic for my notetaking on my PC.
Now, I will admit I haven’t tried it myself but it can apparently work on Synology, so that might be an alternative. Best of luck finding one!
Exactly! I’d put money on a group abusing it, admitting to abusing it, and the game devs still being charged in the near future.
That clarification makes it even worse, this is obviously an attempt to push free to play or indie games out the window while making major bank.
The fraud detection will not help at all to prevent abuse especially in cases like steam family sharing where other “users” won’t have to pay to install the game!
There’s literally no reason to charge per game install here, the only possible reason is greed
I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to this: youtube.com/watch?v=NlZzftmtGJY
