Maybe they cast a growth spell on the warhorse first.

Orcs: “There is only one of them!”

Trechcoat barbarian sprouts 8 arms with axes.

Orcs: “Of fuuu…”

I use AI some, but if it vanished, it woukd not change anything and I would just go back to my okd ways.

Also, my two cents, the biggest hinderance is how prudish they are, because they are disgustingly prudish. How many but tech pushes worked because of porn? Most of these mainstream AIs just shit the bed at the most PG tier conversations or actions. Basically, the current push by the hugely conservative nanny state is clashing with these people’s desire to push this stuff into the Mainstream.

As someone who has regularly used virtual worlds for 20 years, the whole Metaverse thing was so hilarious.

Like, Facebook did not invent 3D online worlds, there are 3D online worlds older than Facebook.

“But wait, metaverse is not just 3D Virtual Worlds.”

Which inecitably leads to "ok, so its just “The Internet”.

As for the “Constantly being wrong.” At somepoint, these people forgot that “having an idea” does not mean “Having a useful idea.” You hear arguments about all these flash in the pan bull shit concepts like “People said the same thing about the internet or the iPhone.” Yeah, and they said the same thing about a dozen other new idea that time forgot for every Internet or every iPhone idea that took off. Not every idea is “the next big thing”. Statisrically, most ideas are “Not ever a thing.”

Ultately, it was aplan to fire expensive old timers and hire Gen Z replacements at 1/3rd the sallary.

Why settle for being great when you could be Amazing. Being “great again” feels like a step back.

No kidding.

Like most of my streamimg is the cheaper ad versions, regular commwrcuals, usually not meaningful, sometimes a bathroom break.

My daughter watches Youtube for music sometimes on the TV though. Good god those are the WORST “ads”. So many try to be like 10 minutes long unless you skip. Many feel like some random peraon reading from a card, production quality all around is ass.

I can’t change the DNS on the router or TV and keep meaning to set up a new router to block the TV ads through DNS.

There are a lot of solo games. Its kind of funny that there seems to be a market for “group games minus the group.”

There is probably some psychological angles here, like people are too introverted or whatever to find and join or just create a local group fornthese sorts of games.

Despite the funny meme, a lot are intended to be game like, with dice rolls and such to create some unintended spontaneous events and results.

Many however also are basically just a writing prompt. Or a writing prompt where the prompt has a dice roll at the start.

I didn’t really play any but Instarted collecting up solo games a few years ago.

I mostly use the web version of Claude. But generally my approach has been to start simple and build bigger.

“I want a website that does X.”

“Can you add a dark mode toggle.”

“I don’tlike those colors, can you make it more blue.”

“Can you add a log in function with a simple database backend that doesn’t use a full SQL install. Users should be able to add a profile image and username.”

“The first user should be an admin and can add or remove other admins.”

“Admins can change the theme colors on a settings page.”

That sort of thing. Start basic, add features, usually one by one, test as you go, see what breaks, if anything.

Vibe coding only works for “I need a one time use python script that processes this data and I can’t be assed to spend 2 hours remebering how to use Pandas right now.”

Not for million dollar apps.

Of all the AI use cases, coding is honestly the one that makes sense since like 90% of coding is just copying some other code and massaging it into place. Even as a “Vibe Coder” you kind of still need to know the idea of what code you need and what you want it to do.

Nice, I will have to make a point of trying to go back again. I love going to Zoos and Brookfield is one of the best one I have been too, though the St Louis Zoo is probably the best from the maybe a dozen or so I have seen.

Is it new? I have not been in like ten years but I don’t remeber that giant statue.

Yeah, I worry about my Claude projects, that do simple tasks, that only I use, generally inside my home network where no one can exploit it not that anyone would want to.

Meanwhile, these huge companies are writing 50-100% of their shipping products used by millions in some cases.

Yes, also it feels like people think “He is a Russian asset” to mean “he will always do what Russia wants and Russia wants to take over the US.”

The goal is destabilizing their primary opponent in the world stage. And Trump and the GOP are doing a stellar job.

Well its a black and white photo, color had not been invented yet.

This is mybrelationship with my daughter’s cat. That cat hates me, but we have a mutual understanding that I will let her smell anything in my hands if its food or not.

There are some games I sometimes play that don’t work. Fortnite, Infinity Nikki, maybe Overwatch.

I also like using One Drive for syncing around and accessing files and it works well with my NAS. I have not really got it working at all in Linux.

On my laptop, when not connected to my home network, the file browser (I tried several) hangs terribly terribly bad when opening it because it can’t find the network drives in my fstab file. It was bad enough I just took them out and manually browse to the folders if I need to by IP.

I really like Affinity Photo and have a paid copy from before it went free. I can’t get it working in Limux on my laptop. I absolutely HATE GIMP, do not sughest GIMP. The UI has been dog shit for forever (I have tried using it off and on for ages now, like, decades, if its been around that long). Its garbage.

I had no idea this was going on in the medical industry and also what the every loving fuck.

Yeah, the only reason “gig economy” workers exist is so companies can use clever lawyer buzz words to exploit workers. We already have delivery drivers, we already had cab drivers, we already had hotels and rental homes, etc etc.

But suddenly we have “disruptive” gig bull shit, because now its a “ride share” to avoid cab rules. The delivery person works for another company and is a weird psudo contracter because McDonalds isn’t going to pay delivery drivers to have downtime, etc etc.

Its ultimately just a way get around regular employment laws and exploit people to the max. Its stupid and its why at least for my part, I have not and will not every use these services.
