ai doomerism is the belief that they are not only intelligent, but also evil. the lesswrong crowd.

why walk in mud and grieve when you can walk on ice and have a happy?

the moment-to-moment gameplay and movement of jc3 is so much better that you basically can’t go back to 2. it’s a lot more freeform and fast, and the world is much more dynamic (even though it’s a lot smaller and less varied). the dlcs are also fun, with brand new mechanics compared to the base game.

the crime is that the story is ass and the characters are not memorable. the spectacle of the final boss battle of jc2 is repeated within the first two hours of 3, but then the final boss of 3 is just a single helicopter that you can dispatch just as easy as any other in the game.

i’ve 100%ed them both. 3 is about 1/4th of the content of 2.

yeah whatever the hell that means

somebody brought the pain

the game would have been better if they took the combat out entirely, save for some one-on-one fights. it’s a shame that they’re done with the series, it was finally approaching “playable indy film” territory.

the achievement means they knew, and put the monster closet shit in anyway.

don’t make me tap the sign

pointing out that you’re doing a thing does not qualify as parody of that thing

i think so. i don’t really have a problem with that. as the narrator says in the stanley parable, what kind of story has the main character die halfway through

uncharted is the worst for this because the fights add basically nothing. the games are great humourous adventure serials occasionally broken up by obligatory murderous rampages. after my first playthrough of uncharted 2 it showed that i had done over 200 headshots alone. friend of mine had something like 1500.

i mean, there are no financial transactions in that quote.

yeah but nobody wanted google glass after it was released.

Microsoft “invests” in Openai by giving the company free access to its servers. Openai reports this as a ten billion dollar investment, then redeems these “tokens” at Microsoft’s data-centers. Microsoft then books this as ten billion in revenue.

[…] Nvidia … “invest[s]” tens of billions in a data-center company, which then spends that investment buying Nvidia chips. The the same chunk of money being energetically passed back and forth between these closely related companies, all of which claim it as investment, as an asset, or as revenue (or all three).

investing back and forth, forever

kobold tv is all scrapheap challenge and dragon’s den

holo looked like it was from 2003.

fair

yeah :/

no child ever watches Shrek and gets the pop-culture joke about Farquaad having a small dick.

or the fact that he’s named “fuckwad”

charlie brown from the side

oh god no. 4 was awful. the original material design was such an improvement on that.
