No worries. It would be best to just repost that one in the politicalmemes community instead.

That’s how I’ve always interpreted it too.

I do envy their ability to take such big risks though (often because they have money to fall back on, I assume).

I’ve never been in a position to take a risk like that without jeopardizing my (and now my family’s) future.

It’s not something that’s unique to tech, but I read it as a joke about enshittification due to greed.

Lots of start-up companies start out all idealistic and positive, then don’t stay true to that mission as the founders age and want more (or sell out to a bigger company).

They might be using an app that doesn’t show display names. I can see it when on my PC, but this is how it looks in the Voyager app, for example:

You actually did it! What a legend.

It sounds like the robots still have a lot to learn.

Please be warned, that part of the text was 100% AI. I’ve never baked cupcakes…

That’s good advice. You’ve got my vote.

I bought Sim City for PC at a used bookstore, and it didn’t come with the reference page for a code it would ask you for after playing a certain amount of time.

Without this code, the game would turn on all hazards (tornados, fires, flooding, Godzilla, etc) and make itself unplayable.

This must have been a common thing, because you’re the 2nd person in the comments to mention this!

It’s funny now to think that if you couldn’t figure out a game pre-internet, you just didn’t get to play it. I know that happened to me plenty.

(edit: curse you, Batman on Sega Genesis!)

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

Honestly, I do enjoy that though.

I’m interested in your take on what Blue Prince and Dark Souls are echoing, if I’m reading this right.

Wow, I’ve been meaning to get around to watching it for that long?

It was the first time I remember people struggling to mentally map the controls.

Your grandma or little sibling could understand how to move NES Mario around (not necessarily being good at it, of course), but 3D was too intimidating for a lot of people to even try.

I remember everyone gathering around the TV to see this because it was so unbelievable.

It’s like a Pac-man / Ms Pac-man situation, huh?

I worry that it’s only better here right now because we’re small and not a target. The worst we seem to get are the occasional spam bots. How are we realistically going to identify LLMs that have been trained on reddit data?
