That’s the crux of my statement, yes.

AI doesn’t scare me.

How people respond to it scares me

And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.

Now I’m frightened to my core.

AI doesn’t scare me.

People making decisions off of AI scare me.

The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.

That would get them regulated, they’re only going after the “correct” “bad people”

Gotcha, sorry my comprehension failed me.

I checked out (searched steam for) the highest rated game mentioned in your post, I’m not surprised it didn’t get much press coverage, honestly it’s probably better for that game to fly beneath the coverage radar.

I think you missed a word in paragraph 4, “got press attention even though, in a lot of cases, they had a large player base” I believe you meant to add a negative before “got press attention”, or got little press attention

That was my thought, nobody in their right mind (least of all paranoid rich people) would use a third party service that requires them to announce they’re someone of value.

Idiocracy was prophetic, just way too optimistic in the timeline.

Final fantasy 8, it is the best, no sarcasm.

I would give a testicle for a proper remake, expand the Laguna story, a more populated world, even more battshitery

“streaming is worse than cable now” is it though?

I stream for weeks on end without a single ad, watching only what I want. I go to an older person’s house and I hear the same friggin commercial jingles, the same canned studio laughter, and shows that are designed for the stupidest common denominator.

I grew up in the era of Saturday morning cartoons. My brain was liquidified on cereal commercials. I won’t allow cable into my house under any circumstances.

But I do agree that we should learn from too easily replacing the working with the next big thing without any regulations on how the next big thing is allowed to operate

It’s as if this headline were written to stir discussion on lemmy.

I was the perfect target for the service, the wife and I went as far as downloading the app to get telemetry from our house, we were like 20% covered and decided to hold off just a little while longer. Then musk went jacking it on the corner in San Diego levels crazy, we pay just about as much for our current Internet (and it’s mobile hotspot backup plan in case the internet goes out and we have vital work that needs to be done, or I need some low latency gaming time) which is 5 mb/s on its best days, and we’re very happy to not be supporting that Russian stooge.
