I remember hearing about two Sims-likes that were gaining traction, then one turned out to be ai-filled dogshit. I don’t remember what either one was called though. Are you aware of any Sims-likes that are genuinely good, single player only, and not ai trash?

For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

They can’t be serious, right?

Hey man, don’t bash the WRX! It’s a cool car 😉

But yeah, blocking ads is the only way to watch YT. I swore off twitch once uBO stopped working there.

Sounds like King Gizzard lyrics

The good (horrible) thing about deepfakes is that pretty much anyone can produce them.

Disclaimer: I am also vehemently against AI-generated garbage, but it is a curious double-standard that the conservatives embrace, which could be easily leveraged against them by many, many pissed off people 🤔

Hey fellow hunter!

It’s been a while for me but I should hop back on to Ephinea to scratch the old itch

I never implied that therapy is a shameful pursuit. And yeah, people have the right to do any legal activity in their private life, but—to take your m&ms analogy a step further—if you knew a guy was shoving a glass jar up his ass, don’t you think we should try to help him find safer ways of seeking pleasure, especially now that we’re armed with the knowledge that another guy posted his gruesome experience doing the same thing years ago?

My point is that if I was unknowingly on a slippery slope I would hope people would feel a sense of humanly duty to intervene. Or at the very least have a conversation about it.

We shouldn’t judge them for getting to this point, but we also shouldn’t just leave them be. People like the one in the screenshot are clearly in need of therapy.

We already saw the story of the guy who poisoned himself with sodium bromide at the “advice” of chatgpt. What kind of outward damage could someone who confides in a chatbot be capable of?

Another really good one that I’ve watched at least 4 times is his Polybius video. He’s an incredible documentarian and an equally great researcher.

I’m sure some of the Polybius one was dramatized a little (apart from what was clearly labeled as actors reading the transcripts), but it makes for an unforgettable watch. And the music!!

Just gonna pitch in here, but I’m no expert. I was reading people’s reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it’s an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I’m muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Could have been the blowoff valve for the turbo! Or a shitty muffler delete on a nearby Infiniti

Best shit I’ve seen all week.

Pun intended? But I agree. Something like this was inevitably going to happen.

I played the trumpet for several years and I love that instrument. It’s bad enough that the names coincide; please don’t make it worse 😭

Thanks for the info! I’m aware of JDAM from following the invasion of Ukraine, but I wasn’t aware of the whole arming process.

Now, I may be underestimating my ignorance, but that doesn’t look like JDAM to me. Seems a bit small. Also, the fact that the pilot suddenly looks toward the wing tells me that he was expecting it to shoot out in front, and only felt the mechanical release (or do they use small explosive bolts? I’m more versed in spaceflight so that’s my only other guess 😅) and saw no visual confirmation that it fired.

Edit, just saw your edit! It’s a gbu-12 I guess

Jokes aside, would this pose a threat other than the physical impact? I don’t know many specifics about aircraft and their ordnance, but would this missile be armed just before launch, or once it clears a safe minimum distance, as with RPGs?

I felt like I was alone in being frustrated at this trend. However I found a bit of relief to discover, through messing around in a Win98 virtual machine, that they were occasionally using the term “app” back then as well. Of course it wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is now, but whatever.

Also I thought I’d never see the Xbox kid meme again. What an unexpected throwback!

I agree with you both; it’s the most logical explanation. See also: cultures that don’t revere womens’ breasts (likely) since they’re never covered.
