Haven't posted here for a while so I take the opportunity and say that #cyberpunk2077 is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in my life.
The writing had some of the most heartbreaking AND heartwarming scenes I've ever experienced. It definitely changed how I see both my life, myself, and the world around me.
Not saying the game itself is stellar but for this alone it was worth it. And on top of that, it looks good, very fun, and quite immersive.
It feels like I'm a new person now.
@vortex_egg@ioc.exchange @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net even if you take marketing out, the arguments, even the obvious ones, are quite solid for it.
As for the other argument, ingenuity put into bad use is ingenuity nonetheless. Sure, I'm not happy about that, but it has no other overarching effect on my opinion.
For me, the future is about computers, even more so than today.
@zep@mastodon.social still don't understand how Voxatron didn't become as big as Minecraft...
Then again, I may have been biased, from playing Voxatron very, very early on.
@darwinrz@mastodon.social @vortex_egg@ioc.exchange @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net which of these became wrong by "technologizing"? I can't see it

@willoremus@mastodon.social with the rise of fake news and the election of Trump, I already knew we've lost the fight for objectie consens reality.
That said, I appreciate you tackle the ChatGPT wrongness issue in an unbiased way.
@EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie the constant, consistent, and authentic opposition of the Russian state by the Poles is one of the most honorable thing I've seen in my life.
Even if I'm objecting certain other occurences happening in Poland.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net whoah, definitely the best summary I've found so far!
What I see is substituting search engines with ChatGPT can work for things not crucial for you or your thought processes.
Stuff I talked about with it: pharmacology of aspirine, the lore of Cyberpunk 2020, the relationship of democracy and freedom, the biology of evolution, best practices in web development.
Very good for all of these, even accurate usually. But I'd be very scared if I should trust it blindly for all of it
@koalie@w3c.social there was no one specific reason to boil down, and also I used to have a lot of difficulties during childhood I prefer not to talk about.
Long story short: social interactions, sharing hobbies, getting new ones - I'm not sure I could have had either of those without the web.
That kind of social connection over cities and even countries, breaking locality, helps a lot for introvert and/or neurodivergent people.
@funkwhale@fosstodon.org @bandcampunited@union.place I hope it won't start a trend to cancel Bandcamp though. They are still the most ethical of all music service providers by a mile
@zens@merveilles.town and however unpopular of an opinion is, Apple excelled at that.
@dngrs@chaos.social then, frankly, I'm not curious. In fact, I don't give two flying fucks.
As long as there's a platform to discuss problems, things are smooth.

@erkhyan@yiff.life if your talent can be replaced by a machine, easily and reliably (these are important criteria though) then you did not have a talent in the first place.
I'm all in for human excellence but what you just displayed is pure ignorance.

@erkhyan@yiff.life frankly, Google Translate is a steaming pile of dogshit just like more and more service Google provides due to them being overblown and a control-freak privacy nightmare.
At least at that part, we don't disagree.
(don't get me wrong, I understand they invest billions in machine learning, it's just that Translate is not quite there yet, they are absolutely dominated by DeepL)
