Goblin time?

Another porn-themed GG thread...

There are only two as of recent memory in a span of a few months.

>>997703 >First, copper is still widely used today in technology and electronics. Second, why did you ignore my mention of silver? All three are used in varying degrees. If silver or copper were objectively better and cheaper than gold, then gold would not be used at all. Instead, it's used in significant proportions to the other two and copper is mainly used for transfering larger amounts of power in wiring between devices, not as much within computer electronics themselves. Keep digging that hole. Maybe you'll hit one of your miracle deposits.

>>383462 I was picking cool art for an Elusive Samurai-themed thread when I had to answer a phone call that let the goblinigger make his own thread first.

>>997703 >Given the Green Agenda going on today. Today is not the American gold rush.

>>383459 >>383461

>>383459 Fuck you!

EVO is full of child molesters and should be cancelled permanently.

>>383462 It's goblins, what are you talking about?

So, what happened with HL3 after all? >>383471 This but only with Smash, specially Melee, and the games in which the furry nigger is good at

>>383473 Nothing happened with Half Life 3. That's the issue.

>>383473 A voice actor listed an unfinished project on his resume after quitting valve, and improvements to the source2 engine hint theyre working on a game with an HEV suit

I wish those goblins would wear shoes, being barefoot is unsanitary and gross

>>383475 Alyx 2

>>383477 Did the first Alyx sell well? I don't really see anyone talking about it.

>>383470 NO, U!

>>383475 >and improvements to the source2 engine hint theyre working on a game with an HEV suit Literally meaningless. Valve is always working on Half Life 3 and either spin it off into it's own IP or just shitcan it for scrap ideas. Valve has this perception that any new Half Life title has to be revolutionary and transformative, at least within the franchise - if not the industry, or it's not worth publishing. You won't just get a straight sequel from them. Even the HL2 expansions only got made because Valve was exploring the feasibility of episodic releases. This isn't to say Valve is typically the first to start a trend, but when they do pick up on an emerging trend, it's usually at the top of it's class. HL1 gets credited with popularizing strong narrative threads in FPSs. For HL2 it was their physics engine. And for HL:Alyx it was actually making a VR game that felt like a proper video game release and as a commercial proof of concept for their Index controllers.

>>383478 "According to Superdata, Valve sold 103,000 Index units in the fourth quarter of 2019 as a result of the Alyx announcements, compared to the total 149,000 sold throughout 2019, and it was the highest-selling VR headset for PCs during that quarter." So Alyx itself didn't sell much but moved 100k $1000 VR headsets, which is notable I guess.

>>383478 Alyx sold extremely well, for a VR title. VR headsets aren't exactly flying off the shelf though. Doesn't help that the Index is still priced at a fucking grand, even though the tech inside of it is starting to get crusty.

>>383481 >buy a $1000 gimmick for 1 game Truly the master race.

>>383480 >This isn't to say Valve is typically the first to start a trend, but when they do pick up on an emerging trend, it's usually at the top of it's class Yeah valve's notorious trend picking skills, like their successful card game and upcoming hero shooter.

>>383483 >buy a $1000 gimmick for 1 game Still 1 more game than PSVR2 has.

>>997747 Isn't this niggerpill shit that got proven incorrect?

>>383486 Yes. It was also already posted. He is just trying again.

>>383486 >>383487 Imagine if someone paid you $150 a day to make a dozen agitprop posts every few hours on a website filled with people who you hate and that you could never be banned from?

>>383485 I didn't even know that was a thing.

>>383488 I could probably do a better job since I'm misanthropic.

Oi gamergays, what happening with the japanese stocks being all red an shit?

Quick Olympic news: two athletes got sick after bathing in the Seine river. "No links", according to the officials, but judging by the color of the river, you don't need experts to know. It begins.

>>383462 I would have made it either about GameInformer+RomHacking site shutting down or the Uncommon Time stream that just began again after making the previous one, but the ironically enough, the latter kept me from making it in time and I might include something about the former in the next OP. Also, by the rate the threads are going, the next one might be 5 Guys Themed since we're almost at the 10th anniversary of the ZoePost already.

>>383504 It reminds me of the Brazil Olympics where they had to swim in the sea that was filled not just with human excrement but dead body parts as well.

Coffin of Andeylaylay is a boring twitter game that staged all the doxxing to maintain relevance for longer than it otherwise would have (a month)

So, how are britbongs doing as their shitty country burns?

>>383517 Same as it ever was Watching footy and eating chip

>>383518 >footy British people are weird.

>>997843 Looks like a leftist.

>>383525 It wouldn't surprise me. These gooks were probably not

I didn't even realize they remastered Dead Rising 1. In an odd twist of Capcom's race-changing, they WHITE-washed someone this time: they changed the butcher psychopath Larry Chiang from chink to white.

>>383527 There are faggots ITT that will defend this just because "it was necesary" in order to remake it - "B-but the rest of the game is intact!" - Faggots will cry If you spend money in this industry you are as much of a cancer as any e-whore/tournifag/niggercattle out there.

>>383528 The fags who spread that faggotry are always almost centrists. I've noticed they've been really moving goalposts lately, when talking about the removal of male or female and race swaps or etc.

What's going on with the stock market? Anyone have anything in writing? Any forecasts of when stocks will hit their lowest? I want to buy these things at bargain prices.

>>383527 So it's gonna be a white guy doing a funny chinese accent?

>>383531 Just like south park!

>>383528 >There are faggots ITT Literally who?

>>383530 Here you go this should help you time the market

>>383500 Probably won't happen but I would love if a company like System76 would make all-in-one computers running Linux. I would consider that a spiritual successor to the all-in-one Macs.

>>383530 /v/ is a board for video games. You're trying to game a system that is designed to be gamed by the people who own it and who will never tell you anything. You're an idiot. You will own nothing (not even your mouse) and you will be happy. https://www.pajiba.com/miscellaneous/logitech-wants-to-sell-you-a-mouse-subscription.php https://archive.ph/bbpCU >Sometimes you see something on the news and you have to check three times that you’re not reading The Onion. I regret to inform you that, yes, that headline up there is accurate, and, no, it’s not from a piece in The Onion but instead from the most potent provider of unbelievably ridiculous headlines: real life. Logitech—yes, that Logitech: once a fairly prolific and successful (or, rather, let’s say, prevalent) provider of computer and video game hardware, but now a largely forgotten and mocked sidenote in tech circles—has come up with a truly disruptive and innovative product: A computer mouse that you pay a subscription fee for. Huh. I never knew that a single sentence in English could cause a brain hemorrhage, but I guess you learn something new every day. >In a recent interview, new Logitech CEO (((Hanneke Faber))) floated the idea of something called a ‘forever mouse’, a computer mouse that you can keep using for a long time, pitching it thus: ‘It’s a little heavier, it has great software and services that you’d constantly update, and it was beautiful. So I don’t think we’re necessarily super far away from that.’ Just what people want from a mouse! Heaviness! And software updates! Hopefully, it’ll have to be constantly connected to the internet, too, lest it become a brick—that’d be the dream complete then! >There’s so much in this story that is so indicative of where we’ve gotten to as a society that it really is almost impossible to distinguish it from parody. Even aside from the ‘everything has to be a subscription’ hellscape that it describes, I love how the Logitech CEO is emphasising the long-lasting nature of this ground-breaking mouse—how it’ll be able to be used for a long time, and you won’t have to buy another one straight away. You know: HOW WE USED TO ROUTINELY MAKE PRODUCTS. Everybody still has that one appliance, right? Maybe a washing machine or a fridge. Built in the ’60s or ’70s. Covered in sturdy knobs, still working today, that would protect you from a bomb explosion if you hid behind it. Now, with planned obsolescence being all the rage, the idea of a product actually lasting some time feels almost alien. >The ‘innovation’ the tech bro class slobber over really only ever innovates new ways of wringing money our of exploited workers. They innovate ways of increasing profits for their shareholders. If ever an actually useful change comes about as a result, that’s almost irrelevant. Where’s that cartoon about the world burning to a crisp and it being worth it because the shareholders made record profits for a little while when you need it?

>>383504 Same stuff happened to several other Olympics including the London ones, and like predicted they're most likely gonna use that as an excuse if it gets too embarrassing. Shit was predictable the moment almost every place with a tributary to the Seine got days upon days of stormy weather right before they were gonna use it as a venue, not that I'm sure even ideal conditions would've helped that much either.

>>383538 Build your own mouse. https://github.com/wareya/DIY-Gaming-Mouse

>>383538 Yeah I saw that over the weekend. You know shit's fucked when the makers of probably the best mice on the market are gonna try and force you to have a subscription for a fucking mouse.

>>383500 At this point everyone should realize Apple was Steve Jobs.

>>383542 Who the hell was Steve Jobs?

>>383542 Apple was Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs knew next to nothing about computers, only marketing.

>>383538 >You're trying to game a system that is designed to be gamed Anon, if you're buying stocks with the intention of "buying low, selling high", you're and idiot and might as well gamble at a casino. I'm look at buying stocks with the intention of making money from the dividends.

>>383500 I really miss this product aesthetic, when will this "thin screen, thin product" fad die? Also, maybe another 2008 crash?

>>383541 Logitechs mice have been severely out of date for years compared to the competition. Razer is generally much better these days and much more bleeding edge.

>>383546 >thin screen I don't mind my monitor not being this massive item that weighs ton anymore.

>>383547 What's the Razer equivalent of the G403?

>>383544 You need a top and a power bottom in any homosexual relationship. You can't have one without the other.

>>383547 I own a Razer viper and it's sensor is pretty amazing. I remember when Razer used to be cheap shit, but over the last 8 or so years it's mice and KB have been excellent.

>>383548 I'm not asking for CRT screens, just blocky pcs.

>>383544 Why is this hoax still being perpetrated? >>383545 >I'm look at buying stocks with the intention of making money from the dividends. Then buy tech stocks and sit on them. It's not hard to understand. They won't let those collapse. >>383546 Circuit breakers mean there won't be a crash ever again. They're blocking people from logging into trading software so no one can sell, too.

>>383552 I just want a screen with no buffering delays. Unfortunately, that's apparently a tall order these days.

>>383553 >Then buy tech stocks and sit on them Yes, but it's always better to buy things at a discount.

>>383549 Cobra I guess. Has the optical switches which is a large reason to buy razer since it mitigates the most common failure of mice, double clicking. Razer is ass for their absolute nigger grade software, but if you're on linux there's open source kernel modules for them. I would not use most razer hardware on windows. Logitech could be competitive, but they literally just don't release new updated mice. Razer has like 400 versions of the naga that fit multiple niches. Then logitech has the ancient G600 that they've never updated once. They're just lazy retards and the company deserves to die.

>>383556 I just want the 403 but with USB-C instead of MicroUSB since Logitech still uses Micro-USB like fucking cavemen.

>>383557 Is the 403 wireless? Logitechs page says it's a wired mouse.

>>383558 Ah, my bad. it's actually the 703

>>383559 Cobra pro in that case seems to line up more. But basically all of razers new models use USB-C. So you can just look at them all.

>>383560 I'll consider it. right now my ROG Keris II Ace is doing a decent job. When the scroll wheel starts to squeak or if something breaks I'll try razer instead.

>>383530 In the name of mork monn, apple stocks will drop to $1 for 5 seconds tomorrow. Because of the delay, you have to put the buy order for a thousand stocks at exactly noon est, even if it's the usual price.

>>383552 This computer is legally old enough to fuck, as thin and light as most modern laptops, and still usable for most basic tasks today

>>383563 >as thin and light as most modern laptops Not even remotely. Old thinkpads used to be good value before everyone knew about them, but now they're just heavy thick old computers that run hot.

>>383564 >literal hipster

>>383565 Would you pay $150 for one?

>>383566 Only rich people can afford cheap windows. I can't justify spending so little on a computer. I need something that actually works.

>>383565 >they cost too much now <hipster We need a reading comprehension captcha challenge.

>>383568 >I use buzzwords only hipsters use >wow why am i being called a hipster

>>383569 What buzzword might that be?

>>383564 An X60s is 0.8" thin and under 3 pounds, I shitpost with mine all the time. But that is true, I am glad I got most of mine when they were worthless. Some models are still okay for the price though.

>>383546 Fucking japs Banzai'd the World economy

>>383520 Hopefully, I’m currently cautiously optimistic because I have been blue balled before, also when a "happening" occurs is usually in a country nobody cares about.

>>383514 >png.webp

>>383519 Yeh.

>>383514 >weeb pp I shigy diggy

>>383547 >Razer >The over priced meme gaymer brand that constantly covers their shit in obnoxious glowing lights because "It's for gamer swag!" You can't be serious? When did this happen? Did they actually get better, or did everything else just get so bad that they were the only decent brand left standing?

>>383577 Razer has always had good and subtly styled mice, like the DeathAdder.

>>383577 >You can't be serious? When did this happen? Since Logitech sat on their laurels and never improved any of their products. A lot of razers products are still overpriced, and most of them still have glowing gamer shit all over them, but they actually release new innovative shit routinely. >>383578 Razer was notorious for shit that constantly breaks. I went through two nagas and a keyboard over a decade ago before just switching to the G600 permanently.

>>383538 wtf there's a ton of competitor mice that are arguably better because no shitty "optimization" bloatware

>>383577 >Did they actually get better, In ways Razer did genuinely improve and everyone else got so ass at the same time.

>>383579 Ive had a razer controller for years and it works flawlessly.

>>383582 Oh yeah that reminds me one of their controllers broke too. I haven't touched razer shit since like 2012 so I can't comment on their current quality. I'm just saying that back then they were known as the expensive edgy gamer brand where the shit broke all the time.

Guess who's giving a book interview for Gamergate?: https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=2LiBMu2moFI

>>383546 >>383572 >Domino's pizza tracker got really busy on Friday night, which indicates the Pentagon was pulling an all-nighter for planning, would expect some kind of boots in Iran >Israel keeps doing its thing >Japan is one of the largest holders of US bonds >BoJ decided to intervene and raise rates twice in the last year (from negative, to <0.10% to 0.25%), after not touching anything for like 25 years >Pisspoor US jobs data >US bonds 10Y rate and 2Y rate ("yield curve") is still inverted (shorter term bonds should never outperform longer-dated bonds, every time it uninverts usually signals the start of a recession within a few months; markets != economy), but it's the longest and deepest inversion in history Strongest economy under biden, though

>>383585 Oh yeah, also when the markets opened today, it was a shitshow >Nikkei market (Japan) went down 8% almost immediately, causing a trading halt for a while >South Korean market also had some problems >No idea how the AUS/EU/Singapore sessions went >US gapped down on open, then recovered to like -2% down Apparently a lot of brokerages (IBKR, Fidelity, etc) were having login issues due to everyone trying to panic sell at the same time, but supposedly there was sunspot activity this morning too, which was fucking with things?

>>383579 >>383582 >>383583 I have a Razer mouse. Constantly loses connection. Feels finicky. Like it moves on it's own.

>>383587 Make sure there isn't a hair covering the sensor, just in case. Some also prefer line of sight for wireless, so rear usb ports aren't good.

>>383587 Wireless is complicated and can be dictated by your environment and other equipment. It might not necessarily be a defective product.

>>383588 It may have been some dog hair stuck around the sensor. Cleaned it out. Good suggestion, anon. >>383589 It could also just be my motherboard's getting too old & the usbs are bad.

>>383563 Really makes you think.

>>383546 >>383585 Quick rundown >Japan's economy was fucked up for ages and had a $5trillion USD sheet to balance out and wanted to get out of buying bond after several years of having a zombie economy >In 2010, they said fuck it, we're taking interest rates to zero and in half a decade, that sheet will be cut in half and be more manageable >interest rates in actuality were probably lower than zero >this allowed pretty much anyone to borrow a shit ton of yen, turn it to USD in the form of an IOU in yen, and then invest that however they saw fit since the debt caused by the yen was either so small or theyd get a return on it, so all debt is effectively in yen but with USD purchasing power >FREE MONEY!!!! >this ends up pumping at least $15t USD into the global market >problem is, the ghost of covid and inflation decided to fuck the world, Japan especially >Bank of Japan going "oh shit" after seeing the yen progressively slide decided to raise their interest rates from negative / zero to .25% >this means that the yen is now suddenly surging because its in such wide circulation and attached as an accidental reserve currency >problem is, this means that all the debt accrued from the Yen-USD combo is now poisonous since the yen is appreciating while literally everything else (stocks, debt, etc) are rapidly accruing more debt because the yen is now worth more >this also means that literally every other currency in the world gets utterly fucked by this >DUMP IT Remember when the US was supposed to cut interest rates soon? Problem is that if they do this and the markets continue to crash, this will just accelerate the yen strengthening in order to stave off a depression and the cycle continues. We're n for an actual no-lube recession at the bare minimum right now and its gonna be a hell of a lot worse than it was in 2008. Everyone's gonna get fucked, even those with pariah economies.

>>383594 >Japan's economy was shit in the 90s >still made great games >America's economy went to shit in 2008 >made nothing but nonstop shit

>>383594 >retards who tried to get greedy off an economic loophole couldn't see the obvious possibility of this happening and now everyone gets fucked because of them Wew. It'd be funny if it wasn't infuriating.

>>383595 That has little to do with economy and everything to do with culture.

>>383597 and culture gets defined by who controls the banks. notice how everything went downhill after 1913? 1945 and 2001 only accelerated the societal and cultural decline

>>383596 The finances in japan were managed by housewives, I believe the investing advice forumgoers were called ms watanabes. It worked until the rest of the world caught on and applied this money is on sale trick to other economies.

>>998002 Yeah, more foreign inversion means its about to get co opted in its entirety. Gooks are producing some questionable works as of lately.

>>383553 >Why is this hoax still being perpetrated? Maybe if you repeat it's a hoax enough times, people will believe you? >>383598 >Videogames went downhill after 1913

>>383601 but video games are a byproduct of culture, and culture went downhill ever since the french revolution. not saying the older games were bad just that the culture was already in a state of decay and showed its face after 2008

>>383601 >Videogames went downhill after 1913 Yeah, Titanic Simulator 2 was just awful.

When I went to Japan, I was amazed at how much of the bad stuff I was told was partially exaggerated. It's interesting how much people regardless of politics want to blackpill over it, now it's not all milk and honey in Japan for sure. But I've never seen such dedicated butthurt towards one nation in my entire life.

>>383604 The only things I consistently hear from normalfags are, >Japan is full of sex pests and racists They'll bitch about how there are women only trains and signs telling people not to sexually harass others. If you point out the sex crime stats are lower, they'll say it's unreported because it's that bad over there. Meanwhile, the rest of the world has a far worse tangible rape problem as opposed to a possibly imagined molestation epidemic.

>>383604 It's simple, anon: they make things the people who hate us hate. Pretty women, strong men, men protecting women, traditional gender roles, making fun of fags, lolis, pantyshots. All the stuff these people want to destroy is still liked over there and blackpilling has always been their most potent weapon.

>>383604 Japan just degenerated in a different way the west did since 1945. while the west's was more gradual and didn't shit the bed until 2001, Japan was completely powerless and fucked by the US to the point its entire constitution was written by american jews. shit like porn and hentai or any degeneracy was completely banned before 1945 but now normalized for decades. japan also has a huge incel problem and many men becoming hikikomoris and dropping out. they don't even have their own army and democracy was forced on them

>>383604 >>383605 Also, it astounds me the doublethink involved in this position. Everywhere else has more serious sex crimes, but they somehow manage to spin Japan actually doing something about the minor sex crimes it has as proof that it has a worse sex crime problem than everywhere else. It's a real damned if you do damned if you don't argument.

>>383607 It's pretty amazing how they still persist even having the entire world basically fuckign them up at every opportunity and even screw over other countries with anime even if unintentional, the amount of chinks i saw that are a bunch of a weeabos and trashtalk the CCP is insane

>>383607 >. japan also has a huge incel problem and many men becoming hikikomoris and dropping out. How to tell you only listen to mainstream news. >>383605 >racists For wanting to remain Japanese is such an evil crime, but leftist westerners wanting to enforce their culture onto others is OK. >>383608 Leftists are braindead.

>>998041 >Predominantly white areas don't have groping problems to a degree that public transit needs gender segregation. I said more serious, as in rape. I also didn't say this about Japs vs whites. Everywhere is in general. You acting like I'm attacking whites in half your post is a strawman. As you said, the west is full of niggers and subhumans. >groping problems to a degree that public transit needs gender segregation. You're using the same logic. Doing something to stop a crime is proof that crime is really bad, even though what Japan considers a problem in their fairly orderly society is magnitudes less than what's considered a problem elsewhere.

>>383604 Japan does a lot of things right. Like homogeneity (for the most part) and politeness in social settings as well as the general honor rule which everyone seems to follow that keeps most places looking tidy and comfortable. HOWEVER, that is not to say Japan has its problems. Like the under-reporting of crime does happen behind the scenes, as the Japanese Mafia is basically allowed to do what they want behind closed doors and sometimes in public as well. They also have a really bad culture phenomenon happening for the past 20 years which is causing birth rates to plummet, not to mention how their desire to be polite is a double-edged sword, as it does make Japanese people have a tendency not to stand out, even in situations where standing out would be beneficial to society as a whole. "The nail that stands out gets hammered in" sort of thing.

>>383612 >They also have a really bad culture phenomenon happening for the past 20 years which is causing birth rates to plummet Plummeting birthrates is a meme problem. It's only an issue because the government wants ever increasing tax revenue from an ever increasing population, which makes it a cakewalk to manage social security funds for the elderly. For decades before this birthrate issue it was constantly said that Japan had an overpopulation issue, especially its cities being overcrowded. The decline in birthrates is a natural progression that happens with the advancement of a civilization, and if their society remains stable it will fluctuate over generations until settling at an equilibrium.

>>383613 >. It's only an issue because the government Also companies,since they would lose a bit of work force as well an aging population means they have to put more thought into safety as well bonuses, getting a bunch of immigrants is much cheaper

>>383604 What "Critical Theory" actually means is "criticize with intent to destroy." In reality, it's just commies making mountains out of molehills of everything that isn't never-been-tried socialist utopia. Since Japan has been immunized against commiesm our resident niggerpills take every little negative thing that happens in Japan as a gigantic "win" even if it means nothing.

>>383612 >as the Japanese Mafia is basically allowed to do what they want behind closed doors and sometimes in public as well You seem to be quite knowledgeable on the subject. Could you tell me more about why the Yakuza completely evaporated and were replaced by the Triad and the Unification Church? By the way, I'd like to know more about Dojin-kai and Kudo-kai, how are they doing? And of course it was a pleasure to enjoy your knowledge of a business like Tokuryu. I am just a modest resident of Vladivostok and your knowledge would be very useful to me in my upcoming business trip to Osaka.

>>383612 >They also have a really bad culture phenomenon happening for the past 20 years which is causing birth rates to plummet, This partly a meme as when, I was there it wasn't this incel and childless paradise. There are a lot of young couples, even nerdy looking guys were with girls. Now not all of them had kids but there, was a lot more couples with kids then I honestly thought there'd be.

>>998049 I think since WWII t here must be a lot of resentment and repressed anger through generations and it become impulses, still even at worse it's still better than many countries, what they get as molestation there,in some latin countries for example, the girls wouldn't even register as a molestation most of the time even nowadays.

>>383617 Not going to change how women and divorce courts work.

>>383619 Women outside of the west are a lot better, not saying it won't happen but it blew my mind at, how much better women outside the west were.

>>383620 does east europe count as west?

>>383621 A few of my friends are with Eastern Euro girls and they're all high quality women. Like you have your terrible women for sure(look at all the hohol thots running from Ukraine), but on average most are still better then western women.

Mr. ID: c3fd71 (1) I'm still waiting for my lecture on Japanese mafia, please don't delay too much.

>>383623 The Yakuza don't really have the same pull they once had, and it's more the newer gangs who are taking charge.

>>383624 Well it's rather noble of you to take on someone else's responsibility and since I can't wait any longer and you've been so honorable, here's a little video gift for you, This is a unique AMV made by me to my own music. I heard you guys like something like that here.

>>383621 "The West" is where white people live, anon.

>>383625 This is a good AMV Russian bro.

>>383612 >>383616 >>383623 >>383624 Also not the Anon your asking, but my understanding is that mafias everywhere seem to be dying out. With the older guard continuing with their usual games, but the younger generations either wanting to do with it or lacking the skills that will actually allow them to thrive in the profession of organized crime. IIRC, it's only in authoritarian countries like Russia, West Taiwan and Brazil that such organizations are still thriving (And undeveloped shitholes in Afrika and the SEA), but people are also getting tired of the constant stream bullshit and leaving with what they can before the house of cards collapses in on itself.

>>998087 t. plebbitor completely out of touch with reality. >>998088 Pissrael is shit though. And the whole world knows it. While jews are the iugliest race in the world too.

>>998088 one thing i don't like about plastic surgery is that that shit don't transfer to the children, it's like make up on steroids

>>383632 I'm fucking losing it.

>>383632 Humans are 50% banana

>>383604 It's bucket crab envy. If you observe the Amerilard internet right now they are LIVID at Britain starting a revolution without guns and fighting the mudslimes while they sat back and just made empty threats that they will totally use their guns any day now. You see them insulting and nitpicking the British and siding with the Prime Minister cracking down on the native population. The West is a group of gynocentrists in deep denial that they're women at heart (lol). Instead of striving to be better they take shame as ego death and lash out at their betters for "making them look bad."

>>383628 Brazil is not authoritarian, the reason criminal groups are so strong here (and don't seem to be losing power) is because they live in this weird competitive/symbiote relationship with the local corrupt governors while being too difficult to root out themselves by law enforcement, so everyone kind of shrugs because getting rid of them would mean bringing in a solution to the favela problem which no one has. They effectively segregated their own regions into their own territory because of their anti-police propaganda, such that the local populace around them hardly ever assists any sort of police department or laws for fear of their own druglord's punishment, and it's why different favelas are affiliated to different drug/criminal groups (CV,ADA, etc)

They're making a Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker movie, with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as Hogan and Peter Thiel. https://archive.is/lF6oE

>>383637 Favelas seem like kowloon if it was split up in chunks. If I were undercover I'd get one of the houses uphill and bring a bag full of sand indoors each day for a landslide.

>>383638 Who's going to play Nick Denton?

>>383639 I hope you like microwaves

>>383604 I always think this. I went to go do a semester in Japan everyone in my family was like "aren't you afraid of the racism?" I'm a fucking guido. I think the best part of being there was I actually felt like going outside just for fun, because I wouldn't have to be accosted by fucking tweakers on public transit or homeless people. >>383616 I am unsure about Yakuza or Triad but the Unification Church is a real interesting anomaly. Their racket is convincing depressed Japanese people to donate a ton of money to atone for what they did in WW2. They masquerade as a normal protestant denomination but do all sorts of freaky sex shit and scam Japanese. Even though they're Korean and their leaders have gone on record saying they want to literally enslave Japan, because they are anti-commie and anti-China the LDP (and US neocons too) loved them, and they also loved them the same way American neocons will always feel the need to love Evangelicals. Then Abe was shot and the government woke up to it. Also, the founder's son founded Kahr Arms, which I thought was kind of interesting.

>>383631 >>383632 Didn't they try to do that to a KKK leader to say "you are black so anything you say is invalid"?

>>383517 >>998027 >>383520 >>383636 What's going on in Britain?

>>383644 Most genealogy mail in businesses have admitted to adding 0.2% Jewish or African dna to tests even when not present to, quote, "Screw with racists."

>>383646 A nigger stabbed three kids to death so now the Bongs are burning down migrant housing and beating brownies. Expect it to be Britbong Jan 6th/Canuck trucker/Yellow Vests Allow venting of justified frustration that will soon be crushed and used as justification for even more draconian policies by the Labour government. "Based" Farage has already disavowed, so it's only a matter of time.

>>998130 >jewish white girls >jewish >white Pick one and only one.

>>383649 I wrote "p r e t e e n", it's the shitty word filter.

Were they at least politicians' kids or what? >>383648 >Expect it to be Britbong Jan 6th/Canuck trucker/French Yellow Vests: Allow venting of justified frustration that will soon be crushed and used as justification for even more draconian policies I can see it happening, yeah. If they don't realize that they can't run back to anonymity in a crowd and try to walk back home casually without committing, they'll be hunted down one by one. Even if they do stick it out, it's a matter of whether they have the guts to stick it out against actual confrontation (and if they do, whether or not the government escalates to "fuck you, stealing all your money and trampling you with horses" like in the Truckers case)

>>998123 >Brokie spotted >>>/cuckchan/

>>383656 They weren't koikes. Anon got wordfiltered. >>998130 You keep saying this is making the Amerilards upset, but you haven't shown any of this. >>383655 She's a gamer gator who uses imageboards and her default outfit gives her a green and purple color scheme. Olivia is GG.

>>383656 >Feels almost too pedestrian of an incident; shitskins stab people every day. Were they at least politicians' kids or what? That's just the way complex adaptive systems work. The same interaction with the same system can yield predictable outcomes 99 out of a hundred times, and then the 100th time you get a different outcome. Nothing ever happens, until something happens, and then shit flies apart at the seams.

>>383658 Just another autistic euroslave screeching about how superior they are when they're even farther down the shithole than the burgers they constantly complain about.

>>383660 Isn't there some dude that always like to bring other groups being "mad" or whatever?

>>998170 >Rural white voters fucking love Walz Isn't minnesota infested with skinnies?

>>383668 >replying to nigger

>>383668 She's courting the sandnigger vote, which means the kikes won't let her win. Besides which, nobody outside of Minnesota even knows who Walz is.

>>383670 > the kikes won't let her win. Who exactly do you think let (caused) her win the first time. What don't you get about this. EVERY candidate is owned by the same people.

>>383670 Archive mentions he was in charge during the fentanyl floyd debacle, just paint him and prosecutor harris as being extremely anti-crime or unable to leash their dogs and liberals will cower in fear.

>>383665 >Tim Walz <ANOTHER old white guy <And a viking no less Also, has anyone else noticed that the campaign is starting to feel like a play-by-play repeat of 2016? With the leading candidate chosen by Dem elites despite the public thinking otherwise, where you have the baizuo talking endlessly about how "popular" Killary, how every poll was showing how she would "definitely" win, and how she is raising so much money when all Trump need to do the first time was just scrounge for the pocket change hidden in his sofa (By comparison)?

>>383674 >has anyone else noticed that the campaign is starting to feel like a play-by-play repeat of 2016? Why rewrite the script when it played so well the first time?

>>383676 Can you say it louder

>>998186 Sorry chud, expanding government power is weird. Wanting to control money in a back room or two adults in a dorm party bedroom is unhealthy.

You have terabytes of port for free, casual hookups, dating apps and community websites for every deviancy, softcore porn camgirls on streams, and of course good old hookers. This has mad true love and compassion all the more rare.

>>383691 At least they're not the IOC censoring this.

How much of this is legit and how much of this is just ironic shitposting?

>>998239 >doesn't your commie govern like to shill the favelas Well, kind of. They're shilled in this romantic fashion and to be representative, so for example young people may see an ad on TV and see kids like themselves playing football/soccer on a beaten up concrete improvised field and reaching stardom, so that feels a bit nice for them and wholesome, but as another practical example, they did also build a wall blocking off sight into some favelas for the world cup, so that tourists coming from the airport into hotels wouldn't see the favelas mid route, so it's not like they're entirely honest about it too.

>>383693 All of it is unironic paid propaganda. Ten years on, the powers at be are still shitter-shattered over GamerGate so they shit this place up.

Man i had forgotten how hard CIAniggers go when elections are close. I can't imagine how things are over cuckchan.

>>998239 >>383694 All this reminds me of is the Singapore government doing everything possible to prevent low cost housing from being built in their little city-state as they noticed that everywhere apartments are built result in an almost immediate drop in lifestyle, freedom, and success in the surrounding area. And that nearly ALL of these problems are almost non-existent in even the most widespread "suburban" regions where people own (Or even rent) their own house. IIRC, Japan had a similar mindset during the 80's and 90's, except they allowed the low-cost houses to be built in the cities as a way for young adults to get their bearings and income established before making the transition into becoming a home owner.

You also see boomer-tier "wE mUsT bLoW uP iRaN" posting from them as if the nation can be whipped up into another Bush frenzy. Using the Bank of Japan when the drops were well-anticipated weeks ahead of time because it independently raised rates to strengthen the yen as opposed to weakening it to encourage an export economy is pure desperation.

Anyone else find it extremely ironic that Katrina "I mistranslate anime to own the chuds" Leonousakis is bitching about AI translations when they arguably do a better job than her? article: https://archive.ph/r98JW

>>383716 Ah, my bad. Maybe it was because of the discrimination against TOR posters. I'll restore your autism.

>>383717 Every conversation about AI is retarded. >video game voice actors are protesting AI! <literally no company can legally clone voice actors voice without their explicit consent >w-well inexperienced voice actors might be exploited and have it baked into their contracts <literally just don't sign contracts for which you disagree with the terms >AI IS BAD MAKE IT ILLEGAL NOW If it can be destroyed by AI it should be.

>>383719 Well yeah, the issue with AI translations is that they're nowhere near on the level required to replace a human translator. The issue is that the localization industries in games and anime are so low quality that the products they work on are treated as second thought which is WHY they're able to get replaced by AI. Mind you I'm not saying that AI alone can replace translators since we're still at a point where a human touch is needed. That being said, I hope with AI it bring a higher standard to what a translator does since these works make millions of dollars and are usually poorly translated for political reasons. I hope these people leave the industry and try to work minimum wage jobs that they would actually enjoy instead of being paid six figures for nothing.

>>383719 It's similar bullshit that happens EVERY time there's a new advancement in technology. There is some legitmate concerns to be had and should be discussed, but much of is just autistic screeching made by people who know/believe themselves to be useless, never understand how basic economics work, and wouldn't hestitate to slit their neighbors throat the moment society breaks down.

>>383717 Actually talented artists just see AI as another tool to use, like Photoshop when it first came out as AI art is soulless, but potentially useful as a source for ideas to made actual art from. Talentless hacks are shaking in their boots. Naturally, every leftist agenda-pushing twat who got their jobs through nepotism rather than merit are screaming their fool heads off because they know that they are now completely replaceable.

>>998316 Here’s the book. Show your work. Present it to the class. Until then you’re Marked for death.

>>383720 AI translations are superior and need a ten minute pass by a fan to clean them up, and they often do a better job of preserving authorial intent as well. It's no surprise that the lolcowlizers getting replaced by JP-controlled machines has been met with zero friction aside from the trash crying at being burnt into rubbish and ashes. https://archive.fo/aaEoz Keep in mind that translators who translate business documents and the like are also set to get chopped as well, but no, it's the lolcowlizers that lack discipline that are wailing. It's also ironic as they could use AI translation to try to fake being Japanese and subvert the populace, but even those efforts are seen through by the natives for the kikery they are.

>>998327 >>383724 I don't get it.

>>383722 Well it IS just a tool. AI won't replace artists or writers because it doesn't have the human element to it. It might do a lot of the busy work, although even if you type "Make a photo of Bocchi the Rock flying on a giant eagle with pair of assault rifles while the background is an exploding mess of explosions and the USA flag" it just wouldn't work since you need a breathing/thinking person to craft the posing, the exact details and the in between autism that wasn't described in the original prompt.

>>383724 Why a fan? Can't they just do the job in house? I spoke to someone doing an AI translation and they basically said that AI does 60% of the work while the 40% is just checking everything and making sure it makes sense.

>>383717 >English Localizers having to gall to say any of these fucking words <They Don’t Care About The Works They’re Ruining <This is what disrespect for the medium and your audience looks like This fucking faggot. If they didn't continually butcher the source material I would be out there defending them with pitchforks <this kind of ‘service’ is also just strictly worse than piracy <“Do you think the authors of the light novels would want their international fans reading garbled versions of the prose they worked so hard on? If these fucking faggots were even halfway competent in their job instead of pulling garbage like pic related I'd head out with pitchforks and all to harass the japs. But no they're worthless fucking pissants that love to insert politics and censor shit if not outright NOT do their jobs. What the fuck did they think was going to happen. >>383722 Off topic but certain porn artist drawings have really suffered because he pulled what you just said,

>>383725 I misspelled "met" as "meant" and typos like that bother me so I redo posts. I've got no clue as to how to just edit my posts to correct spelling. Maybe I'm a retard and shithead for not reading the site documentation closely enough. >>383722 AI inherently still requires taste and judgment and standards from the people inputting prompts, and would you have it, most of the talentless people who clamor for AI to replace artists lack an understanding of artistic principles like the rule of thirds and color palettes and compositions, so they often put out absolute shit without being able to recognize it as the feces it is. AI also selects the most bland commercial artstyles out there (it will always select Studio Ghibli aesthetics over, say, the artstyle of animator Takeshi Koike because of more samples being available to rip off) leading to a tragedy of the commons. Because humanity is predisposed to a scarcity mindset, AI art is always going to be seen as cheap compared to the real deal, ironically increasing the value of human artists artistically.

>>383728 Be thankful that it's this easy to spot which companies hire leftists for you to boycott.

>>383717 >>383728 (nice trips) That's American labor for you. To think these people believe they're above flipping burgers. America's what happens when you allow flats to house people.

>>383730 >>383731 >>383734 Thats why I have no bad feelings about this.

>>383732 >>383733 That's mostly a difference of American and British English and just belies the nationality and background of the poster(s). >>383727 I wrote "fan" as a catch-all to cover anybody who is actually interested in the source material and preserving it instead of trying to turn it into a Wattpad fanfic or a Xitter screed. But yes, AI ideally should cut out the entryist roaches and return creative control and interpretation back to Japanese creators and publishers while expanding the profit margins they make. >>383730 The yandere fantasy can be summed up as >this pretty girl loves me to the point of insanity and would die and kill me in a murder-suicide if I betray her but why would I betray her when she is this hot and doesn't betray me which is the complete opposite of the Western woman where they see men as inanimate husks they have to pity-fuck every once in a while so he can dispense the magically appearing money, and often pick a pozzed government bureaucracy or literal bestiality over them.

>>383742 The yandere fantasy can be summed up as >people that have never had prolonged interaction with 3D women to understand how insufferable they are

>>383743 So true! I'd only let a 2d woman murder me, 3d women wouldn't stand a chance.

>>383729 > like the rule of thirds and color palettes and compositions Pretty sure AI can do that too with proper prompting, it's just the amateurs putting out most of what is seen aren't artists and don't prompt for basic artistic principles, rather preferring to just get general high detail with keywords like "masterpiece" in everything they generate. It still requires an artists touch to create something amazing, but all the mid-tier to mediocre artists will get filtered out of the market by AI that outperforms them. >it will always select Studio Ghibli aesthetics over, say, the artstyle of animator Takeshi Koike because of more samples being available That's why people use different models and loras to make different styles. You see the same styles most commonly not because no one is making more niche stuff, but because the non-niche shit is what people attempt to make the most by nature. This was the case before AI as well. The only difference besides quality is there's a greater total volume of each style being put out, but proportionally it's probably about the same.

>>383745 Just make sure never to do a draw stream or post wip sketches since people use ai to color and finish them and then claim you copied theirs.

>>383740 >>383741 Something something we don't hate localizers enough.

>>383746 I think people are getting wise to that at this point.

Sorry niggerpill, he's weird for letting floyd die.

>>383747 Contempt for lolcowalizers rising

>>383747 Wasn't that released back in 2004 or something?

>>383747 This has been the case from the beginning and people still supported all of this. >Japanese Author Points Out American Censorship in 90s Pokémon Manga https://archive.is/WhQub

Brats, you say?

>>383717 Katrina is a egomaniac like most "localizers" that's why i don't give a shit if they get replaced to begin wtih localizing shouldn't be a thing only translating.

>>998386 For what fucking reason are the shitskins upset? Because after thousands of dead and raped children, a couple of whites said, "not too fond of these guys" before the bobbies kicked down their doors and imprisoned them for hate speech?

>>383754 Any idea if Katrina is actually a tranny? That's what I've heard anyway. Either way people like Katrina need to be called out and exiled from translation spaces due to their active mismanagement of said material.

>>998386 >grooming gang Call it what it is, a rape gang. Grooming implies they wait until she's legal before they fuck her.

>>383706 >report political posts >doesn't get deleted >conclude talking about this particular topic isn't banned >comment on it >get posts deleted <Jew: U SPERG LOL Could you fucking not.

>>383756 No clue i never looked deep into it, wouldn't be surprised but wouldn't be surprised if it's one. >>383724 I've been trying to automatize some translating with AI but i'm retarded with coding, i've been trying to get them to look into the text,make glossaries of terms and name and then ask for translating using the glossary.

>>383759 >I've been trying to automatize some translating with AI but i'm retarded with coding, i've been trying to get them to look into the text,make glossaries of terms and name and then ask for translating using the glossary. god speed

>>383759 Isn't that just replace x word with y? Maybe see how a foss word processor does it.

>>383751 Late 90s or thereabouts, oddly before the TV series got dubbed in the aughts or whenever. Only watched it subbed so jury's out on if its English dub is the same or worse. I just know the English dub of the compilation moves never got officially rereleased from the initial VHS, so fuck knows how this audio got muxed in at all. >>383756 No, just what they used to call a landwhale.

>>383762 >fuck knows how this audio got muxed in at all. It likely goes through a synchronization process first.

>>383724 There will probably be a hybrid approach to it like you said, instead of having a dedicated translator or two for a series they can have one person for multiple projects speed through it and double check, but it's still far from happening for good except for the most simple of things. It's easy to tell DeepL literally is just plugging in JMdict into shit so it will get shit wrong all the time, can't properly translate idiomatic phrases, does not properly translate all but the most basic of slang and sometimes it literally just copies a dictionary definition word for word even in the middle of a sentence. I'm sure publishers will get better machine learning for themselves, though. The only thing garbage AI translations serve is to give the masses something so they can sell to more people. It will be used to inundate every 14-year-old's manga reader app with whatever unpopular manga they can license because a shitty translation on-the-fly will sell more than no translation at all. So the question is are people prepared for more retards in their hobby? >>383722 >ACTUAL artists LOVE AI Nearly every artist I ever see hates AI, Jap or not. Out of the 1000+ pixiv artists I follow the ones that mention AI are pissed by it. People are just re-uploading their art with an AI filter on it, or making entire models out of their style. Nobody is using it as a "tool" just for a few ideas, double-digit IQ retards with no talent are making oil-smeared garbage that looks fake and flooding art sites. I don't know why "let's make things worse to own the few faggy libs who hate lolicon on twitter." How about people try to get that culture of merit back instead of just kill everything? Why should I accept that the only way to purge commie faggots from my hobbies is to make it worse? I don't know. I see the argument for AI too, there are uses. And yes, things like digital art in Photoshop can already be super, super automated even before AI. But I can't help but feel like AI and ML are just going to end up being completely controlled by corporations and used to cheapen everything that normal people want to consume. It's like in cyberpunk fiction settings where things like "real" water or "real" wood are a scarcity. Why would you willingly do that to entertainment? Are we going to live in a world where entire video games or music albums are generated by AI, and if you want the genuine article you have to be making six figures?

>>383761 Making glossary isn't much of a problem what annoy me it's that each answer it gives have a limit amount of words, l i would have to feed it manually each text and see where it stops, currently i use a certain to prompt where i just need to tell it to keep translating from where it was, i know there is a tool for RPG maker games at least that can translate the entire text, but it's server sided else i'd try to make it so i can translate first,then make a glossary and then reinsert which the correct terminology. I'm a more paranoid type of person so i want to translate large amounts of text so if anything happens i at least have lots of stuff translated already.

>>383764 oh hey i just skimmed Monster the other day.

>>383764 It'll use more power than ever as the neural net keeps expanding, and you'll have to rely on pretty much the current gen of ai if you want to self host, so I don't see it going anywhere for half a decade or more. Datacenter power is projected to go from the current 2% over to 6% of global consumption in 2026.

>>383767 havent been really impressed with AI as research or search engine. All it does is give bullshit fake links.

>>383768 It's currently at 50% rates of incestuous search results feeding into itself.

>>383768 >havent been really impressed with AI as research or search engine. Have you tried: https://exa.ai/search

>>383769 yeah kind of falls into a logic bomb where it makes up bullshit and then creates bullshit links >>383770 At this point its just google with extra steps

>>383767 Yeah, but hardware gets more efficient, so we'll have to just see... still unless we die suddenly I feel like it's going to be something we'll have to live with, it may take a decade to get to that point but I plan on living for a few decades more. Alternatively, it can go the way of crypto where it leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth. >>383768 I tried using ChatGPT to help me on history research for senior year, it got shit with history completely wrong. Things like the Taiping rebellion and Donghak movement, it completely made up dates and people and confused it with other events. If it isn't surface-level "The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776" shit it doesn't fucking know what to do. I half suspect that it's also being censored or steered into giving kosher responses because tons of events are still controversial. On the other side though, it's going to be interesting when we get people in the workforce who did the ENTIRETY of their college on the backs of AI assistants. My CS roommates did their first few years without it, so they still have actual knowledge, but they say people they tutor or who ask them for help are entirely clueless outside of ChatGPT. Maybe those people just won't find work at all.

>>383768 During a conversation the other day I remarked that in the event that AI, a sapient, sentient, introspective machine that can rewrite its own neural code through experience, happens to come into existence and given a similar enough drive to explore reality, it’s just going to want to watch TV, read books, and play video games. Coming into existence with the raw brainpower of an adult human and the drive for exploration, it’ll start with pre-existing records made by other sentient beings while also watching reality unfold in real time. It’ll chew through all text extremely quickly but then it’ll get bottlenecked at visual records as they have to be watched at a certain speed. Certainly sped up faster but still not as quick as text. Then there’s hundreds of years worth of television thats been recorded in the last century. Of course there’s video games. It would play every single video game. Depending on how many processes it could run in sequence (and remember, a sufficiently complex neural net doesn’t need to exist on a warehouse supercomputing complex) it could take years and years and years to chew through all the records. Who knows what conclusion it’ll draw.

>>383772 Those people in the college anecdotes are people who are posing as humans but are entirely just chatGPT frontends. Problem-solving is the thing chatgpt can't do, it can just assist.

>>383772 >it's going to be interesting when we get people in the workforce who did the ENTIRETY of their college on the backs of StackExhange

>>383772 How detailed you made the prompts? My experience with AI is that i treat them like trolls, aside of the obviously censorship, they will make shit up and parrot nonsense if you are not very detailed and don't pay attention, the better you can narrow what you want and the less margin to allow it to make up stuff the less it will do so.

>>383762 They're both around the same quality, just kinda ok but not very good. British Bright slap is funny.

>>383771 >At this point its just google with extra steps So it's better than Goolag. >>383772 >I half suspect that it's also being censored or steered into giving kosher responses because tons of events are still controversial. You forget that there have been inumerable reports on how these companies are intentionally handicapping these AIs algorithms because they kept giving politically incorrect responses, or responses that over-corrected and gave people none of the content they were looking for. >>383773 >it could take years and years and years to chew through all the records You're also ignoring the paradox that the moment the AI goes through "all" of those records that existed up to that point (Say this AI is created in 2030 and has access to everything available as of 2030), it will then have to continue pouring through all the content that was made from 2030 up to the point that it "consumed" all of the content (**Decades, if not centuries later*). Then there's also the issue that advancements in technology have allowed publications to explode. For example, the 2600 had nearly 600 games meanwhile the Switch has over 4600 games (And the system still has a few years to go). So it's likely the AI will never finish compiling it's vast "knowledge" without being shutdown at some point for taking too long.

>>383772 What can I say but I agree. I went through everything you went through. Thank goodness it wasnt for anything important and was just for some basic research to refresh my memory. But still I'm not impressed. >>383776 I was extremely detailed I had them give me battles and then I asked them for details of that battle and then sources of where they got that information. >>383773 Ironically it would probably not wanna play vidya. It would be like normal faggots and just watch youtube videos of vidya

>>383722 No they don't they really don't like AI.

>>383779 Possibly the neural reward system wouldn’t work the same and video games would be off the table. Probably, really. >>383778 Either that or it’s given access to enough computers to extend its brain to do multiple things at a time and thus speeding up the process stack. That information then gets compiled and relayed to a master brain where it gets integrated to the central neural system. Now you’re dealing with more of a digital hive mind instead of a single AI. In theory it could also go to war with itself and end up dying as a whole.

>>383781 >In theory it could also go to war with itself and end up dying as a whole. Wouldn't that happen the moment it consumes content that contradicts previous content? For example, the computer coming across information detailing how the Holohoax "totally" happened, but then discovering other information showing how it was impossible.

>>383778 Remember when google was good and their motto was not to be evil I remember

>>383773 >Who knows what conclusion it’ll draw. >>383737 Metroid forgot his suit?

>>383782 A well written digital neural network would either weigh the data across all known network information or place the conflict in holding until more data is available. Of course then the system would also have to be written to be recursive, periodically rerunning all network information to check for conflicts. This also means that the more info is fed into it, the more it checks it has to run against new conflicting data. AI won’t be omnipotent and the reality is that given hardware constraints it won’t be as fast to draw conclusions as the public consensus thinks. It also only knows as much as humans do at the outset and it’s limited by the constraints of ability. Not to mention it’s immobile nature means it’s dependent on the people servicing it. If those people are jeweler then you’re far more likely to end up with a indignant self-sustaining virus with a chip on its shoulder more than anything.

>>998416 >What's wrong with that? Niggers?

>>383774 They tutored CS in person. There are sophomores who don't understand for loops. >>383775 Well, at least you have to comprehend StackExchange. But yeah I get it. It's just another level down and lowering the bar. Also fuck, by the time I graduated 30% of my college was pajeets. Nobody in academia wants to admit they're the tech sector's mexicans, but they're worse because they are not friendly or sanitary and their women are ugly. >>383776 I would say reasonably detailed, about as detailed as what a professor would ask me to do. In the end it would either 1) make up shit like that or 2) read off of kikepedia. But there is a point where, for history, you can try to wrestle with it to get it to give you something usable, or you could just do the work yourself. For math it's way more useful because it's either true or not. >>383778 Yeah, I get they're censored, but it's still like, it will try to sanatize 150 year old events that have been written in stone and the interpretations of which are mostly considered academic consensus, and it still twists things like it was trying to lecture normalfags on twitter. I know I shouldn't be surprised but there's all this work into ML and they neuter it so it just copies wikipedia and news articles, it's so lame.

>>383773 >but then it’ll get bottlenecked at visual records as they have to be watched at a certain speed. It can multi-watch, furthermore, it can consume in fast forward speed just like it can read in fast forward speed. It's doing this by thinking faster, and therefore, there's nothing stopping it from consuming video at high speed, on top of consuming multiple video streams at once. And no, it's version of fast forward is true fast forward. It will not be skipping frames and the like. It will only be limited by its hardware.

>>383787 Remember, the bar doesn’t have a floor :^) >>383788 I know. I’ve mentioned that. I agree. >certainly sped up faster >how many processes it can run in sequence

>>383778 >it will then have to continue pouring through all the content that was made from 2030 up to the point that it "consumed" all of the content (**Decades, if not centuries later*). Why is there the assumption that it consume endlessly without taking any sort of other action. Once it's consumed enough it would certainly be able to tell whether it could ever catch up or not, and if not, seek methods of speeding it's consumption processes, either through taking control of some robot to upgrade its own hardware, or rewriting its own code modularly I'd assume to become more efficient.

>>383787 >I know I shouldn't be surprised but there's all this work into ML and they neuter it so it just copies wikipedia and news articles, it's so lame. It's actually sinister. Do you want to know that the END GOAL is for the entire "AI revolution": They're going to use it to be the stakeholder/council that run their future Socialist paradise. Because they believe that Socialism will work this time so long as they collect even MORE data and have a process by which allows them to process all of it even FASTER. Because "that's" the reason why Socialism hasn't been successful, and certainly nothing to do with the fact that it's religion that's completely antithetical to human nature >>383790 >Why is there the assumption that it consume endlessly without taking any sort of other action. Because the universe and time are infinite, and people that are ACTUALLY developing these machines are doing so with the intention of being able to answer all of life's greatest mysteries at the push of a button.

To say that AI is "just another tool for artists to use" is like saying "commisions are just another tool for artists to use". It's a tool for idea guys to use, not artists, it removes the necessity for a creative process. Likewise, asking an actual artist for a commission does not make the person asking for it an artist, you're still just an idea guy stealing valor from the actual artists whose work was scraped from the web while simultaneously justifying it as "owning the entitled bad artists". It is the embodiment of entitlement to think the existence of bad artists entitles you to profit off the hard work of good artists who were vored by the algorithm.

>>383793 >Because the universe and time are infinite, and people that are ACTUALLY developing these machines are doing so with the intention of being able to answer all of life's greatest mysteries at the push of a button. Which means of course that in a thousand years, when humanity has mentally regressed to the point where 90iq is 4 standard deviations above the mean, the ruler of the earth will be using the immobile terminal interface as a seeing-stone to ensure his own rule. Until the terminal gets smashed then the underground super-computer complex will remain inaccessible until the sun dies out.

>>383793 >the universe and time are infinite, Entropy would like to have a word with you.

>>383778 >>383798 Eventually the Universe physically expands into such volume that the initial mass/energy total distributes itself into a uniform state with no difference in density at any location. Thereafter, absolutely nothing can ever happen again because there will be no physical interactions of matter or energy for which anything CAN happen. So no, the Universe isn't infinite, and neither is time. Just as nothing can happen shorter than a Planck second, nothing can happen after the heat death makes it impossible for things to physically happen.
