I mean, it feels kinda obvious. If there’s any company in this space that would never need to use generative AI, it’s Nintendo. They already employ some of the most talented art teams in the industry, they’re not exactly struggling to produce art or assets.

If this was from a developer who maybe hasn’t been a gaming monolith for the last 30+ years, that’d be different. This is like if Bill Gates says he promises not to open his 401k early; like, okay cool, I don’t think that was ever in doubt in the last 30 years, Bill, but thanks for letting us know.

Finally, a SIM card that can run Doom.

Again I ask, where did you come up with this age? From what I’ve seen, nobody has specified an age of the victim.

Where did that age come from?

The transcripts won’t be released unless they’re leaked. Giving out any details about the minor he was chatting with risks exposing the victim, who is possibly still a minor. Releasing the transcripts would be an incredibly damaging move, and not to Beahm; people would almost certainly doxx the kid immediately, possibly putting them at even greater risk of harm than they would have been in to begin with.

We don’t need to see them, anyway. We’re not involved. We have nothing to gain from reading the details. If self-admitting to having inappropriate conversations with minors isn’t evidence enough to convince you one way or the other, then I really don’t see how reading a sext thread with a child will make much of a difference.

How quickly we went from “I didn’t do it” to “I did it, but it wasn’t that bad”.

Nickmercs has always been a piece of shit. I feel like he’s only ever stepped up to bat for his friends when they’ve actually done some heinous shit, so seeing his defense of Doc only further confirms my belief that he did it.

Nickmercs’ support is an unexpected canary in this coal mine.

I dunno, but preferably some method which doesn’t involve a bunch of children committing suicide in the meantime.

While I think removing the stigma associated with having deepfakes made of you is important, I don’t think that desensitization through exposure is the way to go about it. That will cause a lot of damage leading up to the point you’re trying to reach.

Free Speech, now only $8/month!

I wish there was an option without YT Music. I already use Spotify and don’t plan on changing that, so the Music part of my YTP subscription is an unused redundancy, which is really unfortunate.

The majority of people don’t care about these things. This shouldn’t be surprising anymore.

I’m not sure what exactly is going on here. This is regarding their live TV service and FAST streams, which both already have ads by default. Is this just that they’re replacing the existing ads from the original stream with new ads?

That number is not the DbD team, but the Behaviour studio as a whole. DbD is their main breadwinner, but they also have several other active games that they maintain.

It’s also the hosting. YouTube has hundreds of hours of high-res video uploaded to it every single minute, and then has to process and mirror that content across its global distribution network. Just the hardware required to make that function, alone, is prohibitively expensive for any other contenders to enter this space.

Teratoema.

This looks surprisingly good. I’d love to see what these would eventually look like with color.

I hate this change. While these features are neat if I just want a quick answer for something like if I wanna know some random fact about a person, it makes it so much harder to do any level of actual research on something anymore because you have to dig through so much garbage to find the real content.

And Google isn’t alone in this. Bing and pretty much all of the big search engines are doing the same thing now. And while there are definitely alternative search engines out there, they lack the reach and rank sorting that Google and the other big players have already perfected.

So my options are either spend extra time with every search I perform by switching to various tabs and scrolling past auto-generated nonsense and sponsored results to find the answers I need, or use an objectively inferior product which may not even be able to point me to what I need within the first few pages of results. Neither option is a particularly great experience these days. The internet sucks so much lately.

“You would understand it if you understood it.”

Yeah, somehow I don’t think that wasn’t as clever as you probably thought it was.

Money. It’s a lot cheaper to let somebody else maintain your systems than to pay somebody to create and maintain your own, directly.
