That last sentence is interesting to me. Care to expand further?


Someone commented on here the other day that they don’t use anything that uses AI. I had to point out that they were on Lemmy, in a contemporary web browser, connecting to a Linux server running inside of a docker container. I’m still not sure if they understood my point, but I’m glad someone else on here is seeing the ripple effect.


Yes
In my experience, items are only worth what someone is actually willing to pay. Because if it is priced so high that no one in your target demographic is actually willing to pay that much, it is just unrealized gains. And for most people, an unrealized gain is equivalent to 0.
I see this a lot in the MTG community. People will say a card is worth $200 because that is what they list for on eBay. I ask if they’ve ever had an offer for that much - and the answer is almost exclusively no. I tell them that the ones listed on eBay are the ones that aren’t selling. The real value is less because no one actually buying them for $200, that is the cutoff where people stopped buying the card and so the listings stay up.


Different person, but isn’t this already a problem with closed source games? My game dev experience is more hobbyist than professional, but I’ve spent a few lonely hours on ghidra. I also teach secure coding at my university, but I focus more on how to patch legacy systems and audit code for vulnerabilities. My point is that closed source vs open source, I see this as an issue in both systems and therefore irrelevant. Pardon my ignorance on this exact topic.


You aren’t addressing any other point. But sense you seem particularly hung up about this fact, how do you feel about that being literally the smallest text written on the box art? Again, I say that is intentionally misleading. Is it legal? Not sure, for now they are getting away with it, but I do feel like that will change eventually. However, I’d be shocked to hear any genuine argument on how this isn’t designed specifically to mislead people.
Personally, this feels like that bit in Seinfeld- “Hey, this ain’t a wizard! It’s a Willard!”


How am I as a regular consumer supposed to know what a game key card is? And yes, the non-standardized one off example of a company using a non-plain language description completely destroys the argument that this is anti-consumer and intentionally deceptive. Clearly everyone wants a game keycard inserted in order to play a digital game that if they had bought with an explicit code or completely online wouldn’t be required. It’s also great that completely digital download that takes many gigabytes of storage on my device becomes unplayable the moment I lose the game key. That way, I get the worst of both worlds! I have to be responsible with keeping track with physical media, and I have a massive drain on my devices storage space.
Just look at this Game Key Pass game sold through target. Note how the description says that it is a physical copy, and the specification notes that it is a physical copy. The only reason you may even suspect that this is game-key card that requires a download is if you happen to look at one of the cover art screenshots without alternative text. The fast food industry has been getting wrecked by that sort of oversight for a couple of years now.(Links available on request, but currently on mobile, so lazy)

The box and packaging makes it look like you are buying a physical game that will play for years after Nintendo turns off their servers. If someone wanted to buy a download key, they could buy the little cardboard scratch off things. Packaging it as if you were actually buying physical media is intentionally misleading.
You are thinking of y’all, which is a southern American slang contraction of “you all.” However, this person put “ya’ll,” so it’s a contraction of “ya will.”
Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that’s who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I’m misinterpreting.


I had no idea “game key cards” were a thing until this comment sent me down a rabbit hole. What a total scam! Clearly deceptive and anti-consumer. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a class action lawsuit yet. Maybe most are ignorant like myself.


He also complained about steel and concrete being expensive factors in their production. Doesn’t every major construction project use a lot of steel and concrete? Including traditional power plants that run on fossil fuels?


Just because a random Internet stranger doesn’t know a better solution off the top of their head, doesn’t mean that there isn’t a problem to be clearly seen.

I’m confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?


Does anyone know if Audacity 4.0 allows for more recording tracks at a time? Last I tried, it could only record to a single stereo track at a time.


Ok


Depends on how you define a data center, but you mean the large single purpose data centers that have been hastily built investor bait over the last 5-8 years, then yes, most of those use the evaporative cooling towers that concentrate waste products either already in the water, or added to prevent corrosion because they cheaped out on the plumbing, and then dumps that back into the local water source.
Isn’t that a rejection of the premise you set up though? If you are describing a flaw in that an AI isn’t capable of teaching a human, then 1) it isn’t flawless, and 2) it’s circular in that an AI isn’t capable because it isn’t capable. Would you apply the same the same logic to something like a philosophical zombie?
Not engaging with the other 2 paragraphs because they are irrelevant to the original comment.
