It’s almost as if having one of the worst reputations of any video game ever is damaging to your long-term health…
Still, I can’t really roast them. League of Legends genuinely did clean up their act when it comes to toxicity, and as hard as I tried to kick the habit, I still find myself going back and playing the occasional match of Heroes of the Storm, which is owned by a much scummier company that deserves to crash and burn.
And really, the MOBA genre isn’t as dominant as it once was in general either. It’s been a gradual decline, there’s been no big disaster that crashes everything. Just there are other genres in style right now. All things considered, I think LoL is doing totally fine given the circumstances. Nothing to worry about, so don’t be disheartened if it’s a game you enjoy.
Bits operate in a fundamentally different way to neurons. Until we create hardware that can emulate the way neurons process information, we’re wasting time and money chasing ‘AI’
I don’t like AI because it’s literally not AI. I know damn well that it is just a data scraping tool that throws a bunch of ‘probably right’ sentences or images into a proverbial blender and spits out an answer that has no actual comprehension or consistency behind it. It takes only an incredibly basic knowledge of computers and brains to know that we cannot make an actual intelligent program using the Von Neumann style of computer.
I have absolutely no interest in technology being sold to me based on a lie. And if we’re not calling this out for the lie it is, then it’s going to just keep getting pushed by people trying to make money off the concept at the stock market.
Makes sense to me, I think even someone borderline tech illiterate the way I am could create a perfectly good way to remotely disable a machine and prevent anyone studying it to reverse engineer it, I call it ‘Renotely detonated bucket of thermite’
