LLMs ain’t gonna replace programmers any time soon (they might get us laid off, but they’re not going to do our jobs no matter how much executives want them to), but they seem to have already replaced executives, though sadly without the laying off part.

It’s becoming more and more evident that these extremely harmful idiots (including CEOs and whatnot) have completely outsourced all their decision making and what little thinking they used to do onto LLMs.

We’re being ruled by vegetables parroting hallucinating autocomplete engines.

Not sure if adulthood or chronic depression.

Not sure there’s a difference.

Also this friggin’ freak of nature:

2000, XP, and Vista are NT too.

For today’s lucky ten thousand, the Ballmer Peak:

Personally I’m partial to replacing very x for more x¹ than a very x thing in a pot.

I’m fairly certain I got it from Blackadder, but I can’t recall the episode.

1.– Or xer, where appropriate. Eg., this list is sillier than a very silly thing in a pot.

Cyberpunk 2077 could have actually been way more sexploitative if it would be true to its setting

The fact that we can’t get cyberware for our junk was quite disappointing when I first played the game.

The same thing they’ve done with lots of emulators, tell whoever is hosting the source to cease and desist or face a lawsuit.

Because Google intentionally breaks their sites when loaded on Firefox, so Mozilla have to keep reverse engineering their bullshit and implementing countermeasures, in an arms race somewhat reminiscent of duck genitals.

They mean gamers of old. That is, currently old gamers, but back when we were young, and had time, and not a lot of games to fill it with, so we appreciated a longer game.

Current young gamers have vast libraries of games to choose from, and shortened attention spans due to social media.

Daggerfall was like this, if I’m not mistaken (I got into TES with Morrowind, and I’ve never found the time to play the older games).

The map was about the size of Great Britain, and mostly empty, even if it had about fifteen thousand locations spread about it.

I don’t usually kink shame, but if you consider boobs on a male corpse presenting presumed avatar of a Forgotten Realms (ex-?)god of death “fan service” you’ve got some seriously weird kinks, dude.

They’re not celebrating “whatever”, they’re celebrating modding.

Stapling unnaturally large breasts on characters where they don’t belong is stereotypically one of the first things modders do to games, so making fun of that seems like a perfect way to celebrate modding (as long as you’ve got any sense of humour, which Larian most definitely do).

Well, hopefully this will finally get saner instances to deferate .world as the disinformation hub it’s now openly admitting to intentionally be (and has always been, see the misinformation bot debacle for a previous example), so that’s good for lemmy as a whole, I suppose, in the long term (once .world communities have moved to other instances).

Fascism.

Sid Meier, obviously.

Not really, it’s just free publicity.

Unless their product is shit, of course, and no one would pay for it after trying or recommend it to others… in which case, fuck them, they deserve it for attempting to sell shit.

I remember when eDonkey and later eMule were brand spanking new… It took quite a while for BitTorrent to gain enough traction (and for me to get fast enough internet) for it to be better… (and, frankly, I still miss eMule’s Kademlia network’s peer to peer search capabilities…)

I know that no one is PRO genocide.

… I don’t know, I think the people committing genocide might be a bit pro genocide… 🤔

its @lemmy.world

So, same thing, basically.
