This should be a shower thought

It’s a reaction to thinking China has better AI, not thinking AI has less value.

I loved the first two dooms so please, do focus on single player.

One of the few games I bought way after I pirated it.

If I can’t sell a thing then do I really own it?

It was funny in the mid 2000s cause we didn’t appreciate how hard it is to maintain a free encyclopedia. And even then it was only funny for certain pages.

So I guess there is a use case for AI,

It’s almost like out of a movie, the technology can only be used to benefit evil.

Am Canadian, I see 78k so yes

What is not obvious is whether this was premeditated or did he just get too excited and said fuck it.

Or worse, was it just muscle memory?

Yes

Oh I 100% agree that feudalism is the end goal of capitalism, I actually think the US is getting too unstable for that. Imo civil war is closer than full on dictatorship, or at least I hope so.

I’m not saying Orwell is only about communism, I’m actually agreeing that Orwell’s book was something rather specific that doesn’t apply 100% to today.

Today’s situation is shaping to be more like the Wild West where anything goes as long as your rich enough instead of a single omnipresent entity having full control.

No man, not all at.

Not only that, but Orwell has become a dog whistle of the right complaining about social justice issues of the left.

Orwell predicted big brother that was an allegory for communism. Where they threw you in jail for wrong think. Hence why the far right love talking about him.

Imo what we are seeing is far closer to the slow collapse of an empire. The overall process is decay, where it’s like a free for all and crabs in a bucket mentality.

Bottom line is, things are falling apart due to incompetence, not a very competent entity taking full control.

Careful now, they might double down and say work is too woke now

The Roman salute, also known as the Fascist salute

God I love Wikipedia

That has its drawbacks too though, federating with many, many instances will eventually cause strain.

I do want more growth via instances, but imo it’s more like a double edge sword than the salvation of a platform.

Don’t expect perpetual growth from the fediverse for one good reason:

It would cost more money.

Lemmy is self hosted and there are people who use their own personal money to host these things and have a certain amount of activity.

Doubling the users would double the cost but it would not double the usefulness for the instance owner.

Now this is a technology post!

This started out way more fun than it ended

Okay yeah that’s a problem.

Mods have been weird lately, my comment got removed for using the R word, not retardant.

I don’t fully understand this.

While having one big instance is not ideal, isn’t the idea that it should be easy to move once and if the big instance becomes draconian?

I thought the whole point of the fediverse was not to get locked into a walled garden and be able to decentralize as needed, ending up with a few big players is inevitable, no?
