For me a lot of it depends on the perspective.

• For an FPS, I think non-inverted feels more comfortable. I generally just want the view window to move in the indicated direction, but I understand people that like it inverted.
• If it’s third person, I actually prefer completely inverted (including horizontal). Especially with something like Dark Souls where one stick controls the player and the other stick controls the camera. It’s more clear that the camera is an external entity and I’m controlling the angle, not the view window. It feels unpleasant and unnatural to me to push left and then also have the camera bend to the left.
• If it’s a rail shooter like Panzer Dragoon or something, we’re back to non-inverted. I’m controlling the absolute position of a targeting reticle and I just want it to move to where I want it to move.

No, look at this, it’s fundamentally awful! It’s a stylistic decision to omit the mouths of the characters that leads to more expression through the eyes and overall design. The AI is incapable of understanding that and FORCES mouths onto them because things need mouths. Especially the one on the right where like, ugh, what the fuck is going on there. It’s gross, I hate it.

It’s like those high-res texture packs that just upscale everything for the sake of upscaling it and loses all artistic merit or cohesive aesthetic in the process. Fuck this.

Under no circumstances does fucking HOT SHOTS require anti-cheat. Ever. The fuck?! I don’t care if it has multiplayer, JFC what are we doing?!

At OpenAI, we can’t eliminate that disruption.

… oh yes you can …

Please, Don’t Create the Torment Nexus was written in the 70’s. The author only had a vague idea of the concept. We can make it better. Tormentier.

Of course they’d never just outright admit to it, but it’s kinda like who farted in an elevator. Somebody is doing the jamming. Jamming is happening. I wonder who it could be? Who could it be?

Newsom is a wet sack of political ambitions with no stance or principles.

“We’re about to put a memecoin out. And you know what? Donald Trump, we’ll see how well your coin does versus our coin,” Newsom said.

Seriously, what the fuck??? Memecoins are scams through and through. You don’t release a competing scam to troll Trump. It’s asinine.

All of this is a PR team backing him up anyways. He’s had some short term success with a few hits that landed with milquetoast liberals, but he can’t sustain that “momentum” because none of it is genuine. That fake, toothy smile makes my skin crawl. The mask will slip, but even with all that said, I’m still afraid it’ll be sufficient to fool enough of the people. I hate it.

I see your point but there is one major difference between adults and children: adults are by default fully responsible for themselves z children are not.

I think you miss my point. I’m saying that adults, who should be capable of more mature thought and analysis, still fall victim to the manipulative thinking and dark patterns of AI. Meaning that children and teens obviously stand less of a chance.

Independent of technology, what a parent can do is learn behavior and communication patterns that can be signs of mental illness.

This is of course true for all parents in all situations. What I’m saying is that it is woefully inadequate to deal with the type and pervasiveness of the threat presented by AI in this situation.

I definitely do not agree.

While they may not be entirely blameless, we have adults falling into this AI psychosis like the prominent OpenAI investor.

What regulations are in place to help with this? What tools for parents? Isn’t this being shoved into literally every product in everything everwhere? Actually pushed on them in schools?

How does a parent monitor this? What exactly does a parent do? There could have been signs they could have seen in his behavior, but could they have STOPPED this situation from happening as it was?

This technology is still not well understood. I hope lawsuits like this shine some light on things and kick some asses. Get some regulation in place.

This is not the parent’s fault and seeing so many people declare it just feels like apoligist AI hype.

I do concede, I am … old. Things may well have changed and it depends on the part of Jersey. States around Jersey just like ripping on them to feel better about themselves, but PA is no treat either which is why I got the hell out of there =P

I’ll never forget driving home from college with some friends for the holidays one year. I was from PA, he was from Ohio and had never been more east. We were headed to NY with another friend and our route took us briefly through Jersey.

“How will we know we’re there?” he asked as the car suddenly lurched and felt like we hit a gravel road despite ostensibly being a paved highway …

Surprised to see this one here, but this is also my answer. Been awhile since I read the book, but I seem to remember the other big point being the whole blood transfusions thing from the movie wasn’t there, that was all made up bullshit. In fact, “Rita” had not lost her power, they were going through overlapping loops which is so much cooler, but I guess was deemed too confusing for audiences so we got that schlocky Hollywood ending instead.

No. From the most base concepts, some authority still needs to recognize and enforce the contents of the blockchain (ownership, currency, whatever). If an authority is already trusted to act on this data, they might as well be the secure custodian of it. Or, if not entirely trusted, a third party trustee. At very best the blockchain offers complete transparency and auditability, but this is the trust you place into any given system on your end. If you do not place trust in a system, what are you doing engaging with it?

Supporters of blockchain generally don’t accept these arguments because they are anti-authority, and without passing further comment on that, fair enough. But that means it will only ever be relegated to buying drugs on the internet and scams.

3. What is the main focus of the One UI 8 update?

Based on current rumors and industry trends, the main focus of One UI 8 appears to be a significant leap in on-device AI capabilities (“Galaxy AI 2.0”) and a major overhaul of home and lock screen customization options.

Cool. Let’s shoehorn some AI in there and just fuck up my home screen again. I hate stability. I love it when my phone constantly shifts in my hands and never settles. I love waking up one morning to find that my device has updated itself and now nothings behaves as it did before.

I haven’t felt a significant advancement in years. It’s just shuffling UI elements for the sake of claiming you’re improving things.

I am less than enthused for this update. I dread it.

I had, yes. I was honestly at the point where I was looking at running some suspicious commands in my terminal to blacklist the keyboard in particular ways that escape me now. I hesitated because I was afraid of killing the keyboard entirely and not being able to bring it back.

Thanks! I honestly hadn’t given that a try, sounds promising!

Had this issue with my GMMK Pro and Dark Souls II. Never found a solution either, ended up switching keyboards while I was doing my playthrough 😐

Hope you enjoy! It’s getting referenced so much these days, I think I’m due for a reread myself.

I know OP’s rules say no picking one of the three already, but these are such good points I can’t help but agree. I’m also biased from years of using a PlayStation controller. Even though I haven’t owned a PS console since PS2, I’ve still been using the PS4 & 5 controllers for PC gaming.

I think legibility and avoiding overloading symbols is top priority and the PlayStation glyphs achieve this admirably. On a pettier note, I’ve never liked seeing a prompt with a big, red B button pop up on screen telling me to do something, it’s very immersion breaking. While the PlayStation prompts aren’t exactly diegetic themselves, they’re at least less non-diegetic I guess, if that makes sense?

I won’t argue symmetry vs. non-symmetry of control sticks as I don’t really think there’s a correct answer here, it’s very preferential. I obviously prefer the symmetric, but I think there’s a reason the DualShock has undergone only minor changes since it was first introduced in check notes 1997?! JFC, that’s almost 30 years …

Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to police the internet, I get why this situation is darkly humorous to a lot of people.

But it’s worth considering what you’re laughing at and why, because the joke could soon be on you or someone you love.
