Well, naturally as we age life becomes more burdensome and painful just to live through in general.
However, I was more referring to how the world has become increasingly more authoritarian, freedoms and rights have been slowly cut and limited as the years march on by- and the climate is in the beginning stages of full blown collapse which we will see increasingly cause worse and worse ramifications in the coming decades...
That on top of the current geo-political status of the world becoming more and more violent, unpredictable and economies going straight into the dumpsterfire after covid, we could wake up tomorrow to world war 3 which will almost undoubtedly escalate to nuclear Armageddon...
Even if that's avoided the declining 1st world populations being inundated with massive floods of people from the rest of the world to stem the stagnating or declining native populations will lead to decades if not centuries of unrest and continual 'mostly peaceful but fiery riots' across said nations, it should have been seen that importing millions of military aged men from cultures & nations which hate your lifestyle, values and culture in general was always going to lead to this...
Oh, don't forget the elite cabal of the super rich that control the world want the general populace to "own nothing and be happy." You will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs, you will consume the product & you better smile while doing it!
To top the cherry of the cake that is the almost assured struggle which will be the next century or so is the ongoing AI revolution, which has massive ramifications that will completely upend society as we know it once AGI/Sentient/Super-Intelligent ai is created which almost seems inevitable at this point... Who knows how that will end, either in technological advances only dreamed of in the most wild sci-fi or perhaps our complete extermination by a near god like intellect that sees humans as nothing but an illogical, violent, parasite on the world that offers nothing but negatives to them and themselves... Even in the best case scenario it will result in a change for society & humanity in general that will be comparable to the industrial revolution, adoption of agriculture & discovery of fire...
So yeah, that's why I think the future holds an unfathomable untold amount of struggling, suffering, and wonders we may only dream of today.
The future will be painful in general :^)
Sure but it's never going to be possible to know the absolute perfect title for any given topic, since public opinion and click through rate is a nebulous unknowable thing which could just as likely respond to a perfectly algorithmically selected title negatively as opposed to a joke title given on a whim could garner far more interaction.
Naraka Blade Point
So, I wanted to ask the community what they think about this game? I tried the demo years ago back when it first debuted on steam, I thought it was alright, I’m not really a big fan of battle royal type games but I thought this one was fairly unique and executed decently enough.
However now years later as it goes free to play to support its falling playerbase, I was thinking about picking it up until I saw reviews talking about the game asking to disable windows protections & being Chinese spyware?
In-fact after searching up more on the topic I found a r**dit post showing that if you download the game from Naraka Bladepoint’s own website it comes pre-packed with a trojan that injects ads & trackers into your browsers!
Then I saw people saying that there’s a sizable cheater problem as well…
So now I’m not too sure, I’d rather not give yet another company a chance to collect all my data and add trojans to my pc…
There will never be a "best title" for things, since its all subjective and you never know what will gather more clicks or interaction than another- an algorithm for choosing the most likely relevant title may exist however its never guaranteed to perform better than another one.
Thats ultimately the goal of everyone, no?
But something like that reality is not coming any time soon for the vast majority of the world population, even if ai becomes sentient & benevolent, the third world will be waiting decades for any kind of meaningful automation of their jobs happens.
Hopefully in a distant future where Super intelligent Ai does literally everything human life doesnt become meaningless and pointless, without struggle, nor a reason to live or strive towards anything besides what the individual can come up with for themselves, no matter how futile it is in a future dominated in every aspect by ai 100000x's smarter than themselves.
An issue with things in general these days is them being super over-hyped, lol.
I'll be honest until I heard controversy about people thinking that avowed was going to be shit & obsidian saying it'll be "good guys dont worry!" I didn't even know it existed, until like a week or two ago lol.
Exactly, everyone's goal is to 'be the best at X' so saying that LLaMA wants to usurp GPT-4's dominance is just stating the obvious.
I'm more worried about them doing everything that humans actually like to do as a job- like painting, voice acting, creative exploits ect.
That'd put a lot of people out of a job and simultaneously take some of the most 'fun' things to do for a living.
Everyone's trying to break the dominance of openai's GPT4.
Cant say I blame you, nor can I really say that there's anything waiting near the end to make you want to play it again, even if I could remember anything besides disappointment.
Well, Gold actually has uses in industry and is an actual tangible thing that people like- but I understand your point.
and yes, I know going back to a barter economy is basically impossible without something like an apocalyptic crash of society & civilization in general.
Not saying we'd be better on the gold standard, but fiat currency is literally worthless meaningless paper that has no tangible value.
I wish we could go back to barter n trade, to before currency was invented tbh.
The outer worlds was so mid I forgot it existed until I saw this video- and I beat the entire thing and all its side quests.
Most countries in the world's entire electrical grid wouldn't be able to handle a full ev-ification of the nation's cars as is- let alone replacing every single one of those cars with chargers that suck enough energy to charge 3~ of the normal modern ev's range (250mi~) in 10 minutes (2x faster than the fastest modern evs) at once.
It would be taking a problem we already don't have infrastructure to solve yet- and tripling it.
I dont support Pcgamer, so I wont be looking but I'd like to add Vermintide 2 if it's not on the list.
Terraria is also likewise 10x better with friends.
Apparently its only sold to companies, there is no way to purchase it legally as a private os...
How long until I can get an IRL AI GF?
Title, how much longer will I have to wait until I can buy a body for an AI GF?
To me, they would just have to be a bit better than our current 'best' ai, capable of remembering past conversations forever, and able to draw upon past interactions it had between each other to continually evolve its personality.
The Body can either be a full on robot-with little to no human characteristics to avoid the uncanny valley or near perfect human-like to pass the uncanny valley.
Ghost Spectre Windows
Has anyone used this modded windows OS?
I've seen quite a few videos on youtube of it performing waaay better than normal windows & using less resources than even tiny10/11 windows.
I've seen quite a few people say they've used it for years with no issues or accounts stolen, but then I've also seen a few people claim that their version had malware on it- however I've also found that apparently there's fake sites with malware infested versions of it floating around & apparently there's versions of it on piracy sites that come pre-loaded with a bunch of pirated games, so perhaps those are where those malware reports are coming from.
