video games in their current market might be one of the only areas that I'm tentatively okay with ai work.

Stasis Bone Totem had some hideous applications of it but the studio was using it to fill out supplemental art for puzzles and items that could've eaten up their budget. it kind of gives smaller studios a way to punch up when their vision is exceeding their budget for things like piles of gore on the ground or bundles of wire.

that said I only make that particular defense under late stage capitalism which is proving to be poisonous to art. not to mention that for every Bone Totem there's 108 employees that Ubisoft is going to lay off because they think ChatGPT can do their job

Turns out Wyoming does exist. They just want you to forget about it

right? I admit his channel did become almost entirely DJT content this year but at least he actually seems to be fighting IRL as much as he is talking on youtube. to me that is the exact opposite of a doompost.

Well I don't blame you for not thinking so. I can't find our contribution listed on the actual UN website. It's shown in other places but really weird that it's not of the official UN website. Also, all this is subject to change under our current fucktard-in-chief so I probably shouldn't plan on dying on this hill.

Definitely, look at the NATO contributions for last year though. Not specifically to lionize the US but literally Greece who is suffering financially but still like "nah dog, let's be the only place to pay half more of our expected contribution" and then Poland who quietly started doubling it last year for impending blyat reasons.

let's all fall on our sword to make sure Disney never loses a potential subscriber for Marvel Wars. Truly, we are defending the interests of the people here

hate to feed into american narcissism but aren't we like bankrolling most intentional federations we belong to like NATO and the UN. I know that the only other country paying a proportion equivalent to their representation in NATO is Greece of all places and they do not have the spare scratch to be doing that instead of, say, the UK, France, or Germany

fuckin what

me sprinting across the room to drink them all up 😋

should I have been an elephant instead of just a dude?

Hardest fucking song ever

Thank you positive possum.

Legal Eagle is like the hopeful positive side of discourse though. That dude is very confident about being able to save America from all this

Figures, it seems like job hunting in any kind of field now is utterly fucked by ai.

But that makes sense though, I guess I'll shoot my shot for some humble positions. Thanks again 👍

wow, that's reassuring. people in my life are telling me I should have pursued a career in IT support, repair, or admin because I built a couple computers and tinker with software. are there actually places in that market for people without formal training like in that ancient greentext about the rookie IT guy?

ohhhhhh. I had no idea it did that. no, thank you for simplifying it. I'm only self-taught so I barely have a hobbyist's understanding of computers.

you're right, it was exactly 23 for me. how did you know? did we get the same radicalization update from the Clinton family trying to make the Whitehouse a family home like the Bush's did?

micro dosing? I was under the impression this was pure uncut product 😤

sorry for taking a tangent and let me preface by saying I'm not criticizing your setup or desire for security at all. it's obviously adding a particular kind of physical roadblock to what stealing your stuff would require.

but I discovered that BIOS setting at a young age and have had this burning question about what exactly does it protect? it does prevent booting but in a situation where somebody has access to your computer that only really stops them from using your motherboard right? is OP's usecase the actual intention, where somebody would be required to physically steal at least part of the computer in order to access it?
