Seriously, Concord? Have some of these people been traumatized by its whole two weeks of existence?

It’s a pokémon joke. In the first games there is a kid who has a very random line about his love for shorts, and since then they’ve put someone like him with a similar quote in a lot of games.

That would certainly explain it.

I guess the story they’re trying to push is “People intentionally use bad AI just to give officially supported, good AI a bad name!”. And that’s quite the ridiculous claim.

I remember a long time ago complaining about a shitty pattern like this (specifically, bombing your history by artificially making a shitload of redirects and thus making the back button useless. Probably the old school way to do this shit). Back then I was told by web devs “this is how the web works, you can’t have a browser detect and block this!”.

Fuck that.

sabotaging their company’s AI by entering proprietary info into public AI chatbots, using unapproved AI tools,

This is counter-productive and can get you in big trouble IMO. I don’t even get what these are protesting.

or intentionally using low-quality AI output in their work without fixing it.

This is better and I think I would totally do this if management forced me to use AI. If they want to pretend using this thing is a better use of my time, I’ll give them what they want.

Fortunately I am working for an administration that has had rather tame expectations for gen AI use till now. They’re basically just like “experiment if you want, be careful and use what works for you”. So I just keep doing what I always did.

I don’t get the author’s point really.

I don’t feel like I’m climbing a mountain, I feel like I’m playing through a gauntlet of single screen platform levels.

Those platform levels almost exclusively take you to higher grounds, unless Madeline is stuck in some place for narrative reasons (e.g., the hotel, and even then she’s trying to exit it through the roof). There are altitude markers. The map is literally a 3D rendering of the mountain with an obvious progression toward the summit.

Both figuratively and literally, you are climbing that mountain.

Roughly same age group (I think? early Y), and yeah, exactly that.

Searching has become a battle against the terrible AI answers that misinterpret and oversimplify one random result while making it a chore to find actual good sources.

And of course gen AI is also to blame for these good sources being drowned in an ocean of content farms, those shitstain tentacular bastards stealing and garbling information beyond recognition. Walls and walls of text saying absolutely nothing, or complete lies, on every subject known to humanity, feeding on themselves and replacing everything else.

It’s no use. You can always try to hide it, we might have slightly fewer opportunities to use “slopilot” but we can still default to “microslop”.

Wow, I actually didn’t. I thought Dig with the first one, had it on 3DS.

As I said the only “hidden gem” I know that stayed exclusive to DSi was X-Scape, known as X Returns in Japan and the very generic “3D Space Tank” in Europe (I almost thought it was not released in Europe, it was a surprise finding it under that name).

It’s a sequel to X (a.k.a let’s do a freaking 3D game on the original gameboy), also made by Dylan Cuthbert, who was also one of the main devs on Star Fox. It has that cool retro polygonal 3D style, but with good framerate (that was not really a thing for these games on the gameboy or SNES).

Not sure exactly what actions they’d be willing to take, but fake experts on “non-political” subjects are definitely used to push political agendas.

For example, climate change deniers.

I didn’t even know there was a DSi version of it.

I never had a DSi, but I checked its catalog a bit later on 3DS, lots of shovelware in there if you didn’t know what to look for. I basically just got a few wayforward games and the exclusive X sequel.

I was expecting some cool Mario strats

I’m always using “clear” to just get rid of my console’s output. I think it has something to do with me remembering I used that on my old 80’s computer, trying it out on a bash long after that and “oh, that works here too, that’s convenient”.

Reset looks like it does more stuff, but I don’t know if that’s useful for this use case.

They have a third data farm in Pikmin Bloom. Wait, does Pikmin Bloom still exist? I did that for a couple months and lost interest.

My second-hand, old as hell, button-only kindle has never downloaded any book from Amazon since I got it. Only Calibre.

Does it mean pokémon go players also routinely crash into bus stops?

I don’t know if this is the kind of answer you were looking for, but the playstation Camera uses that to track controllers (same way it does with the ball thing on the playstation Move).

That’s how PSVR tracking works.

These people from web3, crypto and genAI that regularly promise a revolution in gaming have all in common that they couldn’t start to recognize a good game to save their life.

They don’t play games. They don’t even see the point in playing games, which is why they’re so sure they can “fix” them with just their acute sense of marketing and nothing else.

The movie is Besson-core, full of busted plot points and stupid ideas, kitsch as hell but at least made at a time when he still gave some fuck. So it was still entertaining, and I liked it back then. I mean, I got the game (on PC in my case) because of it.

I get why it is still somewhat pop-culture relevant. Unlike most of Luc Besson’s career as a producer and director since then. Most of it is seriously unwatchable. Aaand even though there were signs before, now we know he’s a creepy bastard, which doesn’t help enjoying his movies (but certainly explains how he treats some of his characters).

Meh. If I am paid to endure a bunch of openAI corporate bullshit, I don’t think I am going lower than $3,000 for the trouble.
