His skin does not look that healthy recently, plus he’s got the signature AI stare into the irrelevant distance despite clearly presenting something to the camera. His suit is a little too shiny too. No dead giveaways, but if this was a photo shop job, I’d bet that GenAI was one of the tools used in that manipulation toolbox

Is this not just “the free market of ideas”? Which has the same pitfalls as the free market of money where if consumers are not educated and motivated to prune out bad actors, the market is easily subverted by malicious actors? Relying on people to regulate their information diets is betting on individuals with limited resources and motivation to defend themselves and the collective against concerted, well-resourced, and well-organized efforts to abuse the market of ideas because there is immense money and power to gain from doing so
Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies. No, not Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, the parody of that film made on the budget of the “plot” portion of a porn flick. I don’t know why I like it, but it’s some good dumb fun
Sconrad122to Games@sh.itjust.works•Why are modern games obsessed with parrying? | Semi-RamblomaticEnglish2·12 days agoPretty sure this kind of game mechanic (expose yourself to an enemy attack for a skill check that regains health) can be traced back at least to the Dodgeball DLC for Outside™. Game mechanics are like TV tropes, they echo what came before them, almost without exception
Sconrad122to Games•"You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"English5·21 days agoJust open YouTube in incognito mode and search a game title probably works. YouTube’s algorithm loves serving up manosphere style content like that like my dog loves eating my other dog’s poop. It’s disturbing on both fronts
Italy beefing with Afghanistan in 2018, smh even America had moved on
Sconrad122to Programming@programming.dev•Everything Started with the Promise of Loosely Coupled Systems6·25 days agoI read a bit further. Definitely got the vibe that AI had a hand in editing the prose as well, it felt like half a story and half a pros/cons list. There’s some technical content in there that is salvageable, but as a piece of writing, it holds up to that stamp of quality, IMO
Sconrad122to /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•Opinion We Study Fascism at Yale. We're Leaving the U.S.English5·28 days agoHilarious that one of the most factually written headlines in modern news media is prefaced with “opinion”. I know why, I’m just enjoying the irony
I can’t tell if I’m learning German by osmosis or if I’m just adapting to some hybrid Deutschelish dialect from Lemmy that has no use in the real world
Except what you said is imprison him. You called for an innocent man to be imprisoned. Are you 100% certain that you aren’t letting a subconscious bias about his innocence into your thoughts by using that language?
Sconrad122to World News•Speedboat that flipped midair in 200 mph crash wins race on Arizona lakeEnglish61·1 month agoMaybe this is an SI purist and want to see meters per second or nothing? That would be silly because KPH is well used across the metric world, of course
Who among us hasn’t taken a day off work to come back and find that your coworkers ate the fruit you left in the communal fridge, and then subsequently condemned your coworkers and all of their descendants to eternal suffering, then felt bad later and changed your mind, pretending your son died for a couple days to drum up sympathy and distract from your overreaction?
I have a bike subscription! They are fairly common in major metro areas like NYC, Philly, Boston, DC, Montreal but they are typically called bikesharing and not bike subscription because you aren’t subscribing to a single working bike, you are subscribing to a network of working bikes, which actually works really well from the perspective of not worrying about it getting stolen or finding a secure place to store it. Harder to manage in lower density areas though, of course
Sconrad122to politics •Trump has a ‘maximum’ meltdown on social media after hate-watching ‘60 Minutes’32·2 months agoNot really, he wasn’t. The myth of Nazi/fascist competence comes from a combination of propaganda and “right time, right place” in terms of when they took the reins of the German economy. A kind of funny example that isn’t Nazis, but their contemporary fascists, Mussolini’s Italian regime damaged the on-time performance of trains in Italy, but the regime kept saying the trains were running on time to the point where it’s become a whole saying about excusing fascism because of its competence/results (“at least the trains run on time”).
