  • Mass effect and dragon age series from bioware are excellent, they’re a little involved but the story telling is incredible in both. While it has aged and may be depending on a love for star wars, their knights of the old republic series was also excellent.

    They’re really damn good at making a story that’s worth being part of, often one of my first recommendations aside from the last of us, outer wilds, and a couple of others I’ve seen here already.








  • I was curious if a robots.txt equivalent exists for AI training data, and there was some solid points here:

    If I go to your writing, I read it & learn from it. Your writing influences my future writing. We’ve been okay with this as long as it’s not a blatant forgery.

    If a computer goes to your writing, it reads it & learns from it. Your writing influences its future writing. It seems we are not okay with this, even if it isn’t blatant forgery.

    [AI at the moment is] different because the company is re-using your material to create a product they are going to sell. I’m not sure if I believe that is so different than a human employee doing the same thing.

    I still think we should have the ability to opt out like we do with search engines and webcrawlers, but if the algorithm works ideally and learns but does not recycle content, is it truly any different from a factory of workers pumping out clones of popular series on Amazon? I honestly don’t know the answer to that.


  • I joined maybe 6 years ago, and there was a bit of shit talking and most posts had a troll answer hitting the most votes for some reason, but it was usually pretty good to scroll straight past and find some really insightful comments. There was a lot of good stuff around reddit, but slowly the absurb number of awards, NFT avatars, reposts, and ads every third post started to corrupt it. It was simple enough to switch to a third party app for quite a while, but the garbage slowly took over.

    Even if they hadn’t pulled 3rd party apps, it was getting pretty close a point where it wasn’t worth scrolling past the bullshit.

    The key to good conversation is finding something interesting in what they say and delving into it. Why did they go there? What did they like about it? Where are they going next?

    The key to boring conversation is the opposite, short answers with no room to navigate. Oh, I guess. Thats nice. Not much really.


  • Interesting idea trying to integrate Mastodon and Lemmy. From the readme:

    This is a simple script that monitors specific Lemmy communities and attempts to #hashtag new posts so that they are discoverable in microblogging services like mastodon.

    By integrating hashtags, lemmy posts will be discoverable by those following those tags in microblogging which could lead them to reply, boost etc, something which will appear as new comments in lemmy. Since microblogging fediverse has an order of magnitude more users than lemmy does, the hope is that this will allow to kickstart a lot of more niche communities and deepen the interaction between the two mediums.

    I’m all for it, even if it confuses the shit out of me that any Fediverse platform user can read and comment here from a platform with an entirely different purpose.
