Y Combinator is a huge driver behind the AI push, not sure why you think it’s not part of the evil empire if the rest of them are? Matter of fact, OpenAI grew out Y combinator while Altman was president.

As for the other thing, I could see how it’s a joke aiming at those rich people and NOT gay people. Some 15-20 years ago, gay was used pretty much how “cringe” is now, without sexuality even being important. I reckon a ton of people have called someone gay online without actually hating gay people.

DLC for 3 in 2027 and 4 in 2028?

I seriously hope both will be good, I crave moar

Well you can’t really do a lot of things on the fields when it’s muddy anyway

Okay I’ll just have a bath installed in the office then.

It was in the top 5 long before the AI bubble which itself isn’t even producing that much GDP

After laying everyone off, I’m not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn’t have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

“Just fix it with some mcgyver tape” is also absolutely something you hear in my country

Comment:

When has EA ever been in alignment with progressive society?

EA funded the game and put its name on it. That’s as good as EA itself putting out a game full of LGBT characters as far as anyone against LGBT rights is concerned. As you yourself said, they would’ve shut BioWare down if they didn’t like it.

EA was actually considered a fairly nice company to work for in terms of the gaming industry a very long time ago.

Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it’s literally named after Hitler’s favourite composer.

Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don’t matter.

Yes because Russia isn’t always looking for justification for war.

There are multiple countries in Eastern Europe that likely would no longer be independent without NATO. My own home among them.

Neighbours that aren’t in an alliance seem to get invaded. Georgia first, now Ukraine twice.

Russia always finds a genocide or whatever to justify military action. Both Georgia and Ukraine were mentioned as targets all the way back in 1997.

Oh yeah estimated at only about 400 million currently. In preorders for a digital-only game.

'Tis but a scratch!

3060 ti 8GB and 32 GB DDR4 says no, I can’t do that or anything else useful with a local model.

However. Deepseek V4 flash is very cheap and fast. It’ll do anything simple and some complex things you throw at it

On PC at least it was probably because of the requirements. It was pretty rough on PCs. Works better using Proton than it did with Windows Vista or 7, though you can compile dxvk or whatever for Windows too to make it better now. On consoles, you needed a 2 year old console rather than a 4 year old one so I suspect fewer people had them this early into the generation. Later on, you’d get GTA V on the same generation.

Hasnt it already sold like a billion in preorders though?

My political sanity check is to ask what one’s opinion is on Ukraine and Palestine.

See Ukrainians as victims of genocide but not Palestine? Zionist piece of shit. Palestinians are victims but Russia is justified? Tankie piece of shit. Don’t approve of either genocide? Might be a sane human being that actually dislikes genocide itself.

Still guaranteed to die eventually after consuming it

From a global warming perspective, I’m pretty sure fiber is actually the best because it requires less power than any sort of radio, particularly satellite (starlink or whatever). For wired alternatives, you have copper which is a very useful and expensive metal, which would be put to better use elsewhere. It’s great for transmitting electricity and heat, just not as great for data.

Fiber optics are as close to magic as we can get in data transmission. There are very few downsides.

Plus the data will be collected anyway. The guys running all the services you connect to have their own fiber. AWS and the like roll out their own intercontinental fiber even. The only question is whether American citizens would be entitled to high quality Internet service that they already paid for over 20 years ago or whether it’s time to forget all that and settle for less.

If she’s even real (could be a troll account), we have no idea what she’s talking about. Quick half hour or shorter shoot for your family after getting a new baby? A wedding lasting hell, maybe 5-6 hours or more? 300 bucks is way too much for the first option (assuming she has a studio and can just shoot 1.5 families an hour and then do the editing later) and probably about a fifth of what the second option should cost.
