So you’re saying instead of tacking “site:reddit.com” onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can’t wait!

I really liked the part in RE4 Remake where you boat around the lake to explore various places. I hope we’ll see more parts like that in RE9.

This is weirdly morbid and controversial for a programming tutorial. Can’t say I’ve ever practiced SQL queries on execution records before. But I’ll check it out

I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don’t care. As long as a game makes you feel like you’re playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won’t care that they aren’t actually human.

Sounds kinda cool but I can’t think of any situations where I would want to use it.

I see what you mean. In a way, lifestyle and fashion choices are already partially governed by AI, in the sense that Instagram and TikTok recommendation algorithms influence what the user perceives as being trendy. I don’t know if we’ll get to the point where people are literally letting an AI tell them what to do, but I think AI will only get more and more influential in our lives in subtle ways.

I got excited for a second cuz I thought this was going to be like Street Pass on 3DS. Someone should make an app that does that.

I’m looking forward to Starfield, but there’s no way in hell I’m playing it on day one. I got burned back when Skyrim came out and I lost eight hours of progress due to a bug.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Remember when there was supposed to be a Legend of Zelda Netflix series?

Why is everyone saying this is because Stack Overflow is toxic? Clearly the decline in traffic is because of ChatGPT. I can say from personal experience that I’ve been visiting Stack Overflow way less lately because ChatGPT is a better tool for answering my software development questions.

I tried Pokemon Sleep and I didn’t like it. It’s way more complicated than it needs to be. It’s very much a typical mobile game, with lots of meters, currencies, timers, login rewards, etc. And it doesn’t make any sense. Why do I need to feed a snorlax to make it bigger? What exactly is my sleep doing? Does the snorlax represent the player, even though the player is clearly a separate entity from the snorlax? Why should I care about friendship meters? It’s all ridiculous.

Thanks for the info!

This is why I hate Twitter and Facebook. Their algorithms are designed to promote posts that cause political division.

I know one crypto bro IRL. He acknowledges that it’s all just a pyramid scheme, but he enjoys it because it’s like gambling but with more strategy involved I guess.

As someone who isn’t sold on electric vehicles yet, this is a very good thing for me. Proprietary charging stations are one of my main reasons for not buying an EV yet.

It seems like a really bad idea to use a wireless controller instead of a wired one. But I guess it shouldn’t matter as long as they have a backup wired controller in case the wireless one dies.

Fingers crossed for a shadow drop of Metroid Prime 2 and 3 ports

This is very pointless and it just makes the headphones heavier for no benefit to the wearer

I made an online order for a restaurant a while ago, and there was a tip option with a message that said “100% of tips go toward supporting the restaurant.” First of all that’s a super vague statement, and secondly, that’s not what tips are for. Tips are for supporting the specific people who serve me, not for supporting the restaurant as a whole. Why would I want to leave a tip when I don’t even know where the money is going.

That’s really weird that they would recommend just Beehaw specifically. It makes me wonder if the author understands what Lemmy is. (Or maybe I just feel jealous as a filthy Lemmy.One user)

Halo is pretty much dead. They have an update coming out this week, but after that I wouldn’t be surprised if Infinite never gets updated again. And I’m also predicting that project Tatanka is going to get canceled. I hope I’m wrong, but that’s where my expectations are right now.

If Facebook is reducing the amount of controversial news that users see, I think that’s a really good thing for society (since presumably this means that fake news and rage bait news is de-prioritized as well.) But it is very shitty that Facebook has so much power over so many companies. It’s upsetting that a single company has so much power over what people see online.

People don’t dislike defederation because they misunderstand it. They dislike it because it’s a bad user experience. It sucks to effectively get banned from a bunch of major communities through no fault of your own. It’s a flawed system. I don’t know what a good solution would be, but it’s definitely an issue.

I guess one solution is to encourage users to join servers that are as small as possible, to reduce the chance of getting blocked. But that approach comes with its own set of downsides too.

We need an actual official setup tutorial that is kept up to date. The existing documentation for the Docker setup process is extremely bare-bones, and it doesn’t even link to the right config files. There are some unofficial tutorials out there that are better, but they’re outdated and they link to the wrong config files too.
