I mean, every vending machine can be hacked. Paywalled, so I can’t see if there’s something unique about this vending machine, but if it’s got any sort of onboard computer (which pretty much every vending machine does), then it can be accessed, and it can be bypassed.

How many of those developers are also hardware manufacturers, though? Because that’s what we’re talking about.

The Big Three all do this.

Warframe is a bit similar to Destiny in that it’s built around multiplayer, but most of the main content can be solo’d if you wanted. But that said, the Warframe community is still thriving, so it should be pretty easy to find a group to play with if you want to avoid the in-game matchmaking.

It actually makes quite a lot of sense if you think about it. Poems generally follow a structure of some sort; a certain amount of syllables per line, a certain rhyming scheme, alliterative patterns, etc. Most poems as we know them are actually rather formulaic by nature, so it seems only natural that a computer would be good at creating something according to a set of configured parameters.

Not sure why you got downvoted, you’re absolutely right. While Nintendo is prolific in this subject, they’re far from unique.

You just convinced me to buy a Mac.

It’s literally one of the top 10 most trafficked websites.

Journalists have no clue what AI even is. Nearly every article about AI is written by somebody who couldn’t tell you the difference between an LLM and an AGI, and should be dismissed as spam.

They’re usually put in the game’s credits. The promotional material is part of the game even if it isn’t on the disc, it isn’t some separate project that exists in a vacuum.

The author says “think about it”, but clearly he didn’t.

I’m gonna be honest, Mastodon is kinda trash, on its own. It’s clunky, ugly, and feels like a platform from 2010 (but not in a good way). I think getting people onboard with a Misskey/Sharkey instance is going to be much better. The feature set is a lot closer to Twitter, and it does literally everything Mastodon does, but better.

I wonder if it’s a licensing thing. I know a few of these games had heavy use of licensed music, like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxy. At least, the original versions did, I’m not sure if that’s the case for the Steam ports.

they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it’s employees.

In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla’s case, “reinvesting into its employees” means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you’d see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn’t change anything in any significant way, imo.

I’ve been saying for years that Mozilla is a profit-driven corp, just like any other. If they operated at Google’s scale, they’d be evil at Google’s scale, as well. It’s not the first time they’ve done something like this, and likely won’t be the last.

For generative AI, yes.

I think you can’t see anything recent, only posts a year or older until you log in.

Brand new account, shilling for Rumble, under the guise of free speech (which Rumble does not offer). Hmm, really paints a picture.

Where’d you get banned from, and what did you say to get banned? C’mon, just tell the story you’re clearly wanting to tell.

What are you talking about? Vigilante YouTubers have notoriously been a detriment to police investigations because of how rarely they actually cooperate with law enforcement.

Thanks for pointing this out. I’d never heard of this site before. From their front page: https://fedia.io/media/dd/05/dd05739fe84d5754670a5985712d74afa8a49f6dae81a8afa01e460ff04ccf11.png

That should tell you a lot about whether or not to invest any energy into reading stories from there.

Yeah, I dunno what the facepalm is supposed to be about. 99% of the rest of the world has about 1% of the tech knowledge that the average Lemmy user is going to have. These scams are wildly effective, and it’s not really a matter of general intelligence as far as who falls victim to them.
