3rd june. the sky is a patchwork of light grey and lighter gray. the air is soggy. there is no crisp warmth nor a cool breeze. someone outside is using a hedge trimmer. that's right. it's time to celebrate the season: christmas, british-style. you put three unopened cans of Heinz Baked Beans directly into the microwave, placing them neatly on the glass rotating plate, and then turn the timer dial all the way round to '60 min'
mystery of the druids is so wild cos it has non-abstract graphics & voice acting, but also the logic of a ZX Spectrum graphical adventure made in a week by 3 chain smoking 12 year olds who weren't really thinking about what the gossamer string of contrivances connecting the puzzles would read like as a story
Can the fake AI thing be over? Can we move onto the next annoying fad? The current one feels like it's been going for like 10 years even though I know for a fact it hasn't even been 5
It's feeling increasingly like the pricing is spite based
I've been mostly out of action for a couple of weeks due to RSI and I'm not cooking much and my electricity bill is just exploding like I have an electric heater plugged into every outlet on full blast
Silicon valley buffoons stop vandalising your own products challenge
Every time you use this shit you're pouring clean water on the floor, and you're using electricity that could do literally anything with value. Playing a modern AAA video game on your giant PC at max settings is more eco friendly and reliably informative than googling something
This applies to both image & text generators by the way. They're both purely aesthetic processes designed by people who hate artists & writers but still want to profit from their art and writing
Machine learning "AI" does some categories of tasks more efficiently than standard software. None of the big high profile ML products are that, though. They're just machines that make something that looks like an answer by cutting up Google results and mashing them together
We have to destroy every machine learning service right now because of the clear and present danger they represent. Not some imaginary cyber devil, but the vast amount of energy and water waste they generate in the pursuit of making the internet Shit

silicon valley announces latest new computer, AI. "We Created A Computer That Cant Fucking Do Math".
Journaleists report this computer is making ten trillion dollars an hour. But it is also costing twenty trillion dollars an hour every single second. The CEO of tech, Satya And Ella, had this to say: We are firing everyone

Discord straight up just breaks over absolutely nothing these days. It's incredible how often I have to force quit that shit to get a broken menu out of the way
Obviously I don't know the man but Todd Howard seems to me a lot like Michael Bay:
Obviously knows what he likes and what looks good, but seemingly has no coherent or mature understanding of his medium at all

You know, in the 80s people often said things like "in 40 years, everything will have computers in them", and while they weren't wrong, they severely underestimated the situation.
Our computers have computers in them. Those smaller computers often have even smaller computers inside them.
We didn't get a "everything is a computer" future, we got a future with fractal computers. The fuckers have metastasized

WHERE THE WEB IS GOING: The convergence of LLMs and web advertising will lead to "ads" consisting of several hundred gigabytes of javascript containing a (weighted) neural network designed to generate unique per-user video advertisements—generated on your computer at your expense to ensure the imagery is unique and evades AI-based ad-blockers.
"AI spam" is an entire AI, squatting on your CPU and making it glow dull red as it works out how to capture your attention.
Welcome to the spamularity.

hi, if anyone else is having problems, this is what worked for me: uninstall visual studio, then reinstall visual studio using the advanced settings (hold shift). then uninstall visual studio, then restart to clean up remaining files. then reinstall visual studio MANUALLY not using the advanced settings, so that when we're about to uninstall it again it'll clean up the environment files. once we've uninstalled it, begin reinstalling visual studio using the advanced admin script. then uninstall v
