I didn’t get that from the article but then, yeah, if it’s Apple rewriting BBC headlines like that, what the hell are they thinking.

Oh, well that’s different. There is no reason Apple should be editorializing their content like that.

AI-generated products can be a bad fit for news

No shit. The fact they only discovered that once they’ve got burned proves they never even questioned what generative AI does.

Though I’m sure half of the blame is from them asking it to tack the most clickbaity headlines on every article they can. Even human editors all but outright lie in those, of course an AI is going to hallucinate you the best title it can.

Interesting. I am going to look into this.

Newer ones use a meta account rather than a facebook one, not sure if they backported it to others. It’s still a crappy ecosystem sending you useless social content ads at every corner, but technically not facebook.

Maybe there’s a way to purge them from it with external tools.

I do. But I have a Quest.

I hate that I had to subscribe to Zuck’s shitty platform for it, and I would wipe all trace of Meta’s social stuff from it if I could. I don’t use any of it, I mostly play tethered to my PC or single-player, mostly offline stuff.

But unfortunately, for the price, there is nothing that comes even close in VR/XR hardware.

Lemmy has a discoverability problem. Both at first, for people to even know that it exists, and then for them to find communities centered around their interests.

And since it’s so hard to find communities, those often don’t reach a sustainable level of users and die.

This is the intention, yes. It’s still ridiculous.

I’m just imagining moderation trying to evaluate a pic on the moob-to-boob scale before taking a decision.

Is “female-presenting nipples” still a thing? Because someone seriously writing that in their terms and conditions is the most hilarious and baffling thing ever.

That does seem rather high. Quests 3 512 are what, $500 now? That truck would need to contain 3,000 of those.

I had the French version. While translation was mostly correct, there were some errors here and there.

But the worst part was the newly introduced bugs, because original bethesda bugs weren’t enough apparently. For example, every interior with water had an erroneous water level value that made them entirely underwater.

There’s a slaver lair cave a couple meters from the beginning of the game, it takes like 30 seconds from the end of character creation to get there. In the French version, it’s completely underwater and everyone inside has drowned when you enter it. That’s the level of QA we had.

Oh, by the way, publisher for the French version? Ubisoft.

You know, since we’re on the subject of Elder Scrolls, Daggerfall actually had something like that.

You could ask anyone for where to find some random place, and the NPC would tell you roughly in which direction you should go, if they “knew” the place. Or sometimes they’d just write it directly on your map.

Still hard to do with voiced dialogue if you don’t want your NPCs to sound like robots. Then again, Oblivion didn’t need that to make its NPCs weird and robotic, with its 4 voice actors and huge amount of shared lines between everyone.

Fun fact, that’s why the immersion-breaking magic compass thing exists in Oblivion (and most open worlds since). Bethsoft devs explained it once.

Stuff is relocated a lot in development, and this means having to rework all dialogues refering to directions, occasionally missing some. It was even more unfeasible for Oblivion in which all dialogue is voiced and would have to be re-recorded.

So they just removed all directions from the dialogue and now you’ve got 100% accurate floating tags telling you exactly where to go, even when you are not yet sure what you’re looking for.

Actual ammo vending machines. That can be tampered with. Great.

Could we not Torment Nexus the rest of Bioshock, please?

You know, if you people wanna ditch the Kingdom and join the club, I don’t think it’s too late.

Yeah, it’s probably terrifying at first.

I’m sure they’d get used to it though, almost any kind of riding/driving a vehicle is going against all your preservation instincts when it’s the first time you do it.

Okay, that looks pretty cool.

YouTube pushes whatever format feels popular to them at the time, like when they started giving absurd weight to shorts.

Even content creators that pretty much only do long, focussed videos started to hack useless bits of them to put in shorts as an aside, just because the algorithm would make their channel basically invisible without a few of them.

And then of course YouTube will prioritize those in all feeds, even if you’re watching on a fucking TV app.

If youtube starts the same kind of shit with vertical streaming, you can be sure they’re going to pop everywhere, no matter how fitting the format is.

Forgetting about the intrusion of shitty LLMs everywhere for a while… Who the fuck even uses notepad for something they would need redacted?

It’s not a actual writing tool, it’s a basic text file editor.

Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we’re not in the early 00’s anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I’d expect a non-negligible part of these don’t even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.
