No. There will be no mines in the near(ish) future. There will be no need of manual labor. Because there will be no laborers. The only ‘workers’ who will be left will be the tiny number of people it takes to keep the vestigial-economic machinery of this world running smoothly for the billionaires who will own the…

All of this isn’t a problem inherent to AI tools themselves. Rather, it’s a product of AI tools under a capitalist economic system. Under a more equitable economic system, AI tools wouldn’t ‘replace’ people. They’d free people up to do something else, something more enjoyable, more interesting or more productive,…

This idea discards cooperative pilfering. One bird opens, the second (or more) removes the goods. Social birds like these don’t have any problems learning those kinds of cooperative behaviors.

This usage of AI is still incredibly crude for the same reason that Up-goer 5 is an incredibly crude (if deliberately hilarious) description of a rocket — the depth and complexity of its ‘vocabulary.’

AI Is Fundamentally a “Labor Replacing Tool”

Most coastal cities are going to be underwater by 2100 or close to it, rendering them, well, uninhabitable. Especially since it’ll cost hundreds of billions of dollars to build the necessary sea walls to prevent flooding of these cities caused by sea-level rising due to global warming. And anyone who has been paying…

Just like at ‘no point’ did studios specifically say that they’re going to stop producing physical media for their releases. And yet, if you go to most stores, you either won’t find any physical media for sale, or what you do find will be extremely minimal.

You mean other than the search queries that return paid advertisements as the top results, right?

IP laws mean you can never truly have competition in this kind of market space. After all, if you want Star Wars, Disney is literally your only option.

It’s the typical methodology used to build ‘business models.’ Internet, television, radio, etc, etc — they’ve all used the same method. It’s called “loss leading” where the intention is not to be profitable but to bring in as many people as possible to upset whatever the status quo is. And once this new product…

And once you can’t own your games anymore, the march of enshitification will ensure that you’ll get worse and worse while simultaneously costing more and more. See: literally every industry.

Giving the reliability and transitory ‘status’ of ‘games as a service’ that publishers like Ubisoft has shown us, I believe I speak for every gamer when I say, “Fuck right off,” in response to Ubisoft’s newest asinine idea.

Judging from the notes released so far, the answer is, “Nothing that fixes the core problems with Starfield itself.”

They didn’t add proper borderless-window support to the engine until Fallout 4. They’ve *ALWAYS* been way behind the curve with these kinds of options.

Because making you a billionaire isn’t enough recognition? REALLY??

Capitalism only works for society’s benefit when it has substantial and effective competition (which is impossible in nearly all industries when you have state-enforced monopolies via intellectual property laws). The problem is that capitalism’s core goal — the accumulation of capital — is directly at odds with that…

Yeah. They might as well dispose of their flimsy excuse of civility and get to freely slaughtering the people they don’t like the way they’ve wanted to ever since they lost the Civil War. The people of Trumpland have made *THAT* part of their agenda perfectly clear.

Cats never get lost. They’re like wizards: always precisely where they mean to be.
