brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•FCC chair threatens to "look into" The View in wake of Trump criticism and Jimmy Kimmel's ABC suspension21·1 day agoDo it already! No point in waiting.
That being said, I don’t think most of the public knows ABC = Disney.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel.English1·2 days agoBut there are entire countries who don’t seem to get the whole ‘acting together for the betterment of humanity’ thing,
I would describe it as ‘indoctrinated by Big Oil’, heh… It is awful.
Also: it’s not even like you’re gaining anything from constantly using AI or LLMs. Just fleeting dopamine hits while your brain cells wither. Of all the habits one could try to reduce, or be mindful of, to literally save lives and countries, anybody who honestly thinks generative AI is more important is very addicted. Also also: it’s just so shit.
The majority of text ingestion/token generation is consumed by other machines for stuff like coding assistants or corporate data processing, and this includes image ingestion. I dunno what fraction is image/video generation is, but I suspect it’s not high, as there’s really no point outside of cheap spam.
You are not wrong, and corpo AI is shit for plenty of reasons (including being needlessly power hungry when it doesn’t have to be), but I’m not relenting that this is a ‘small fish’ issue to pursue in reference to the massive waste in so many other parts of the US.
Big Oil and such delight in such distractions because it draws attention away from their more profitable and harmful sectors they’d rather people forget about.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Hardware@lemmy.world•Intel and Nvidia team up on Intel x86 RTX SoCs for future gaming PCs [and Nvidia is investing $5 billion in Intel shares]English4·2 days agoIt would be very bad news; it’s possible they want to delay it.
This puts them in a very odd position though. It’s not an experiment like Kaby Lake G, it sounds like a whole graphics partnership that would be in direct competition with Arc (and its integration with Intel CPUs).
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Hardware@lemmy.world•Intel and Nvidia team up on Intel x86 RTX SoCs for future gaming PCs [and Nvidia is investing $5 billion in Intel shares]English13·3 days agoDoes this mean Intel is shutting down Arc?
That’s disappointing.
I’ll make my own LLVM, with blackjack and hookers.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Hardware@lemmy.world•Nvidia CEO says he's 'disappointed' after report China has banned its AI chipsEnglish22·4 days agoI can’t wait for this bubble to explode, and companies to dump their A100 rigs on the cheap. Or rental prices to crater.
I am so in for a classic literature training run, and maybe some restoration models and some other experiments I have on the backburner.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Black Student Found Hanging From Tree At Delta State University13·4 days agoMSN is a repost of this: https://hip-hopvibe.com/news/delta-state-student-demartravion-trey-reed-found-hanging/
Newsweek’s coverage seems authentic, yes. It’s not like a comprehensive conspiracy or anything, and it is plausibly a suicide.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”English1·4 days ago“Worse” only being “less engagement in the next quarter.”
AI mods are probably pretty good in that respect. Random bans don’t really matter, they can stick to the party line, and letting a bit more controversial or ragebait disinformation through is a plus. In the short term.

They have ~1,300 employees.
I’m sorry, I know game dev is hard. But if small, new studios can get it to work, Gearbox should get it to fly. They have no excuse.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woesEnglish3·4 days agoHonestly Cyberpunk’s raytracing runs like poo compared to Lumen (or KCD2 Crytek) compared to how good it looks. I don’t like any of the RT effects but RT Reflections; both RT shadows options flicker, RT lighting conflicts with the baked-in lighting, yet doesn’t replace it if you mod it out.
Most of Cyberpunk’s prettiness is there from good old rastarization, more than most people realize.
PTGI looks incredible, but it’s basically only usable with mods and a 4090+.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woesEnglish431·4 days agoTrying to run Borderlands at 4K sounds about as stupid to me as…
On the contrary, it should be perfectly runnable at 4K because its a 2025 FPS game and the cel-shaded graphics should be easy to render.
‘Unreal Engine’ is no excuse either. Try something like Satisfactory rendering literally thousands of dynamic machines on a shoestring budget with Lumen, like butter, on 2020 GPUs, and tell me that’s a sluggish engine.
This is on Gearbox, who’ve developed on Unreal for 2 decades. And ‘sorry, we’ll work on it’ would have been a fine response…
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to SayEnglish5·4 days agoThis is so on point and perfect. Like, ‘shamelessly abuse my mod privledges and pin if I was a mod’ perfect.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels?English1·4 days agoBacked, not owned though, and not alone:

I view it as a net positive if Amazon wants them for EV delivery. A substantial guaranteed commercial customer is huge, and Slate isn’t exactly into dystopian tracking electronics or anything.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Trump backs off as Hyundai factory ICE raid enrages KoreaEnglish95·4 days agoWhen Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other ‘things,’ come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”
You know what’s missing there?
An apology.
His trail’s probably a long way away, isn’t it?
My sentiment is the same.
To be blunt, Lemmy is a terrible place to ask.
Is it this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rncUo1Pnqio
Close enough to double take, but I don’t think its the person they caught.
Kirk’s job was literally to argue like this though, so it might be somewhere else.
brucethemoose@lemmy.worldto movies@piefed.social•What is your dream movie that will most likely never happen?4·4 days agoCan’t say jordans characters are the most complex I have encountered.
I don’t remember anyone charismatic except rosamund pike’s character, but I figured this was the series’s doing.
If the fantasy systems are more of the appeal, which I get, that did come off as confusing too. It sounds like they sacrificed that to try and force more character interaction from what you’ve said, which… didn’t work.
If the other talk show hosts want to get under Trump’s skin, it’s simple:
Air Epstein deep dives every episode.
