Wait, there's a script that fixes the whole thing and they still want people to stop using imgur?

"Alright guys, we got one solution that requires 20.000 people to change their behavior and one solution that requires 5000 people to install a script and then never think about it again. What are we going to do?"

Decisions like this are why Bdumbs gets paid the big bucks. I expect this goes over as well as getting Twitter banned on the site.

Jesus. Thanks for proving me right in the “obnoxious asshole that gets mad when proven wrong even in joking manner”. I was legit curious given that you just dropped info of your personal life to win an argument.  

What a mess this would've never have happened if I was forum administrator. I'm officially no longer financially involved in this

And of course the media won't say anything. Even though if Biden did this we'd have every pundit in every news station in the country saying he should resign.

[Propagandhim]

Bragging about your credentials to the little people while you're on welfare and taking from their contributions, after spending yourself over a million in debt.  What an animal.

Why should professional artists who are negatively affected by your work here give a fuck about your degree?

If you ban Dr. Poops Loud, you’re consigning a highly educated marginalized member of the LGBT community to death in poverty.

Again people saying "ugh ai" are using obvious shorthand here. The "drive-bys" are specifically complaining about generative AI. You know very well that people specifically are complaining about generative AI when they speak about it like that. We are on a gaming forum. Obviously people are not complaining about AI in the general sense, this entire hobby is built on the evolution of AI technologies.

No it is not "obvious." You must define what context you're complaining about if you want a valid complaint to be considered, and considering the complaints that pave the roads these threads tread upon, they're often vague angst with no direction or solution. What do YOU even mean by "AI in the general sense" and would everybody else even agree with that construct? Probably not, everyone here has a different take on what AI or Generative AI means for them, or what have you. And because of this convolution, no ground can be covered really. It's just circular reaction angst takes. Just as much slop as the GenAI mistakes.

You know what never mind. I'm just. Whatever. Forgive my intrusion. I'm out. Sorry for disruption. It's 2:56 AM here and I'm not doing this. I'm going back to shiny hunting in Lumiose.

Go send out resumes, get a job, pay off your debts, and contribute to society you fucking over-credentialed, underachieving loser.

[jooseloose]

Holy shit he's getting absolutely pounced on  I think people are finally sick of him.

Having a PhD mean fuck all if you're unemployed.

[Potato]

Jesus. Thanks for proving me right in the “obnoxious asshole that gets mad when proven wrong even in joking manner”. I was legit curious given that you just dropped info of your personal life to win an argument.  

What argument? I wasn't even talking to you. I try to talk around you at much as possible because you always do the same thing which makes it impossible to discuss anything with you.

Now wait a second they mentioned this in the thread before:

However, I also know that, as a PhD AI Scientist

[Taco Bell Tower]

Dr. Nothing Loud

Hysterical. I'm the one with the PhD in Data Science and Bioengineering with 10 years of post-secondary education in this. You read the room. Or just enjoy the circular takes that are worse then GenAI slop, like this:

Mafro

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but you've gotta stop shoehorning this into virtually every post I see of your's on here. Having a PhD doesn't automatically make you above everyone else and let you talk down to everyone else when it comes to AI-related threads on here. It comes across as pretty condescending.

[Taco Bell Tower]

Reonu

Insufferable slop.

And damn, Sony must be broke. They can't even afford to pay for actual art. I wonder if they're going bankrupt soon. :/

[Boredfrom]

It took him having a mild take about AI to be called out by ERA. Not the fact that he is a compulsive buyer  and drug addict that is perpetually broke and drove away his husband.

[Alpacx]

Dr. Poop getting permabanned would suck. His bipolar Consoom/Poverty posting is fun.

Ironically, after just grumbling that I had seen enough banal perspectives on AI on this side of the forum, I actually find his take fascinating and I'm going to chew on the full interview when I get up later.

Do it nep

These retards are only influential on the internet and with terminally online people like us. Normal people don't care what these idiots think and they have no pull outside of their little bubbles. They exert that influence by being the only group willing to be paid peanuts to generate internet news slop, but as the Hogwarts Legacy/Cyberpunk/*insert other failed boycott campaign here* proves, their influence is minimal. Occasionally, the mainstream picks up on their garbage and their causes achieve mainstream popularity for a few minutes, but their insanity always comes to the fore and normal people go  .

I think this is also correct. Which is part of why the anti-AI noise is so loud online, but will have basically zero impact. “The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high.”

Normies love AI.

I was out last night with my partner and her sister. During their discussion, my partner was saying she needed a logo for her new business and her sister starts playing around in Copilot generating ideas. This is two people who are not terminally online and who are usually late adopters of technology.

My partner herself has used NotebookLM to collect study notes and to assess her spoken responses to questions to prepare for verbal exams. 

These retards are trying to fight the use of AI when AI has already won.

in my experience notebookLM is not advertised or marketed anywhere, I'm curious whether she uses it because you saw us fucking around with it here and told her about it 

[Boredfrom]

NotebookLM sounds legit good.

[Jansen]

I don't really agree. If you wanna talk about images in popular culture regarding coverings, I feel like that style has become insanely popular. Like, let's just put to the side heroes and popular figures in media and in history who've always worn armor and masks, it's now become popular for hero's and villains to wear face coverings that should make no sense. I feel like I've seen this 2B and 9S like face coverings in tons of art ever since Automata came out. Heck, think about how many people love and have things for villains in masks. The From Souls series and the spinoffs are filled with characters that are supposed to be freaky with no eyes, representing a whole lot of theme stuff in the text and lore, but the gamers on the non essay end do not care lol.



You can't exactly say that Meta's Quest marketing or Bigscreens marketing of people in HMDs having a good time has turned people off really, just the scumbags like zucc himself and shitty platforms like facebook. Bigscreen released an hour-long video advertising the BSB2 that's just the BS CEO and VRC's main social media guy Tupper talking about how much of a good time they're having in and around the VR scene and how busy shit is for them.



And how about the images in my post? I'm supposed to be a guy blinded in his house in the middle of some kind of dystopic nightmare. But instead, you see the models I'm wearing smiling. Some of that is configured in into the hand/fingure expressions, and the eyes are all automatic because I don't have ET. But In the pictures where I and my friends are smiling with our mouths open, that's real. Because I've had a Babble or a VFT when those were taken and the Red Nova has FT. If they were videos, you could hear the smiles in our voices (or maybe some frustrations in mine, because I lost right after in that GIGAS pic was taken and spiking the ball in VRC volleyball is challenging), because we're having a blast.



The inconvenience is melting away with time. I guarantee the majority in this thread aren't actually daily users of VR, because they have no reason to be. But the level of friction of a wired HMD and a full body setup can be mitigated if you know what you're doing. I could be in VR in full body in less than 5 minutes (6 point) in my dedicated setup. In about a year, the same could be said for a wireless HMD and you'd be able to stow your devices away with no running cables and not have to warm your full body up/run base stations (slimes/LH), because FluxPose is gonna be kick a
ss.

Dr poop alt?

[El Derpo]

The Dr Nothing Loud archetype of an engineer with a PhD isn’t uncommon (I am an Engineer for context). Engineering isn’t like the science fields and you really don’t get much career advancement from having a PhD unless you are going into academia or heavily on the research side of things (a tiny portion of engineering as a whole). There are people who do one just because it’s something that their interested in, and that’s cool, but it’s not going to fast track you to anything.

Dude couldn’t make it in industry, flopped out into a PhD and convinced himself that it makes him better and smarter than everyone else.

[HaughtyFrank]

This guy has been posting this in every single thread about Ken Levine's new game

From the thread for this game's first ever trailer:

Calling my shot: Levine is making a game about cancel culture.

•"what if I told you that every word you say is being recorded."
•person on stage getting literal red dislike thumbs-down icons thrown at them
•random person getting a J spraypainted on their shirt, like like a scarlet letter if in the "antifa" age
•The bar in the trailer being called "the reckoning"
•Shirt/hat saying "I shamed Judas"
•Enemy wearing a shirt that says "100% Unique"

Ken Levine's twitter likes tell a story of a centrist, free speech abolutist man who is pro israel, anti equity & inclusion, pro elon musk etc. He even has a statement liked from Ivanka Trump.

His games are very political, and his politics suck. So Judas will likely be a pass for me. I'd love to be wrong, but eh

https://www.resetera.com/threads/playstation-blog-judas-developers-ghost-story-games-discuss-the-origins-of-its-main-character.1371007/post-148385407

Somehow he is unable to see the irony of trying to shame someone for potentially making a game about cancel culture
