1984

Yeah it's not easy to wait honestly. Trying to find other shows but a lot of the other stuff is dogshit. :)

I think season 2 is probably not as good as season 1 too, it's impossible.

Open weight? You mean open source, or is there a new term.

Cars harm the environment but they are literally essential for society to function.

You take the good with the bad.

Only America can steal data appearently. Everyone else is a terrorist.

Path of Exile 2. I really like that feeling of progress. No other game has that feeling of not wanting to stop playing because you want to see what happens when you get the next skill or weapon or armor.

Nothing... I like replacing things and I'm not attached to things at all.

If anything, I like the feeling of buying new things to replace old ones, just for some minor feeling of change.

I can only speak for myself but I didn't like it because it felt like the same experience over and over. I admit I haven't played since launch, but back then, i quickly realized all the planets had the same minerals. They had different randomized animals and colour's but they were generally just the same. And then I lost interest, because I was hoping to be able to find rare minerals, unique items, stuff that wouldn't exist in other parts of the universe, and perhaps he able to trade it with other players or npcs.

I guess I wanted a different game than what the makers wanted.

Looking at the video now, it still looks like the same basic experience with improved graphics.

Seems to actually be some press about it too, I was surprised to see Bbc, Reuters and new york post write about it.

But yeah, it's very interesting what they have made here.

This should be its own post. Very interesting. People are not aware of this I think.

This war is about control, not by weapons but by controlling minds. It's fairly obvious. Social media forms opinions. It's also full of bubbles where people get reinforcement for their existing beliefs. What people believe doesn't matter so much, just that their beliefs are shaped by social media.

Social media platforms are controlled by big tech algorithms, so they in turn control what information should surface. On computers and phones, you have survellience apps running (called AI) that collects information about each users private life. This is all combined with other info to build an accurate profile of everyone having a device using social media or the web.

The end goal is to watch everyone, keep them in line. In the west I think it's mostly used to sell ads, but in other countries like China and Russia, I think it's more sinister.

Either way, the end goal is control of people. Before, it was control of land and borders.

I would add more charisma points and remove some intelligence points. Makes for a happier life!

Or it's important to the media companies to not alienate Microsoft because of reasons.

I mean, it's very strange. Open Ai is the obvious loser on this, not Facebook. Obviously Microsoft doesn't want the press reminding people of alternatives to the big tech models.
