The payment model is largely irrelevant. The feature by design is a privacy nightmare so it being even an option available to users is dangerous. How they thought they’d get this past the EU is beyond me.

Even the Wayback Machine has limits to what is available.

What the Conservatives hope to do is call anyone who opposes this a paedophile.

The Age rating is who can use the App, not how long it’s been up.

I always mix up roguelike and roguelite so thank you for explaining.

I don’t know how they plan to manage the Hideout if they want to have this open world.

It amazes me that people don’t notice this is the exact same formula for roguelikes.

YouTube will actually take action and has done in most instances. I won’t say they’re the fastest but they do kick people off the platform if they deem them high risk.

I don’t understand the comments suggesting this is “guilty by proxy”. These platforms have algorithms designed to keep you engaged and through their callousness, have allowed extremist content to remain visible.

Are we going to ignore all the anti-vaxxer groups who fueled vaccine hesitancy which resulted in long dead diseases making a resurgence?

To call Facebook anything less than complicit in the rise of extremist ideologies and conspiratorial beliefs, is extremely short-sighted.

“But Freedom of Speech!”

If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don’t deserve to have that speech. Sorry, you’ve violated the social contract and those people’s blood is on your hands.

The aspect that’s getting lost in all this is that the curator has basically put up a hit list of games for people to review bomb just for associating with a company. The curator has no evidence on the level of involvement SBI had with the game but they don’t recommend the game based on them being involved at all.

They have taken something small and weaponised it so now it’s harming game devs. No one has any evidence on how SBI were involved with any of the games they’ve listed on their website beyond vague mentions of “narrative” or “character development”.

The worst part is, I’m not even surprised by this.

The comment I replied to suggested the opposite, that whatever decisions Apple makes, Android follows behind which isn’t the case in reality.

I understand your point though. It’s weird that people who use iPhones have this mentality that iPhones are at the forefront of innovation. I know some people who are aware that Apple is behind but the phone does what they require of it so they have no need to ask more.

I don’t think that’s true. Android has had more features than Apple for over a decade. People forget that iPhones didn’t used to have a proper file manager and the only way to put songs on them was through iTunes. iOS has been trailing behind Android in that respect while maintaining their walled garden.

Netflix is full of reptiles who don’t care to offer a better service. All they want is enough market share to strongarm consumers into giving them more money.

Whenever some dipshit responds to me with “you’re talking about AGI, this is AI”, my only reply is fuck right off.

I’ve just done the dance already and I’m tired of their watered-down attempts at bringing human complexity down to a level that makes their chat bots seem smart.

I don’t need a theory for this, you’re being highly reductive by focusing on a few features of human communication.

What research? These bots aren’t that complicated beyond an optimisation algorithm. Regardless of the tasks you give it, it can’t evolve beyond what it is.

There’s no way these chatbots are capable of evolving into Ultron. That’s like saying a toaster is capable of nuclear fusion.

Sounds like a great car! It does seem like something’s wrong with the battery so a replacement is in order.

From the replies I’ve been getting, I think so.

This game has such good feedback from the shooting. Very meaty and satisfying. Movement could be smoother but overall, it’s a fun game.
