I sometimes use VR. I have a Quest 2. I just don’t really care for any of it outside of linking it up to my PC and playing custom tracks on Beat Saber or getting my wheel out for racing games.

One of the scariest experiences was getting Wreckfest (not sure if it supports VR now but it didn’t when I used it), stretching the 2D screen around me, jacking up the POV and having a heart attack when getting side swiped by a bus. That’s probably the most fun I’ve had with a VR Headset 😂

I’ve also played Civ V on VR just for shits and giggles because why not.

I love a good charge back on a credit card.

Thankfully I haven’t had to do it often, but it’s nice to know I can ❤️

I guess they were hoping for Half Life 3 to drop first

So… It’ll kill all humans!

AI solution:

He’ll be happy to let AI solve it until AI suggests we should eat the rich and distribute the wealth…

I’m subscribed to Prime because I order too much shit and want to save on delivery costs. Those little Amazon lockers are too damn convenient for me.

If I watch their content, it’s via my PC with an ad block. I stop watching their shit the day I can’t block their ads because fuck’em.

I had one of these! Qwerty keyboard on a phone is a thing I sorely miss.

With how wearily often this seems to happen nowadays, I feel like if I was working somewhere like this I’d be looking at new work immediately as soon as I knew it was getting taken over.

Ideally, there should be some kind of way to prevent this happening in the first place.

But it’s easy for me to say this kind of thing from my pedestal. The only opinions that matter are from those who are involved. There’s nothing more depressing and scary than to know you could be jobless at a moment’s notice.

Summer was hard on me in my teenage goth years.

Can’t really get many light shades of black.

Science got that revitiligo.

Again remember that freedom of expression is freedom to not be punished by the government for that expression.

Private companies are not concerned with your freedoms.

Not saying I agree with how things are, just saying how it is. Only way to tell a private company to fuck off is to not use them.

Doesn’t need to be “intelligent”, it needs to be fit for purpose, and it clearly is.

The closest comparison you made was to the cyoa book, but that’s only for the part where it gives me options. It has to have the “intelligence” to decipher what I’m asking it and then give me the options.

The fact it can do that faster and more efficiently than a human is exactly what I’d expect from it. Things don’t have to be groundbreaking to be useful.

To be fair, it is useful in some regards.

I’m not a huge fan of Amazon, but last time I had an issue with a parcel it was sorted out insanely fast by the AI assistant on the website.

Within literally 2 minutes I’d had a refund confirmed. No waiting for people to eventually pick up the phone after 40 minutes. No misunderstanding or annoying questions. The moment I pressed send on my message it instantly started formulating a reply.

The truncated version went:

“Hey I meant to get [x] delivery, but it hasn’t arrived. Can I get a refund?”

“Sure, your money will go back into [y] account in a few days. If the parcel turns up in the meantime, you can send it back by dropping it off at [z]”

Done. Absolutely painless.

Imagine having to remove a bunch of shit just so you can use your OS. smh

Luckily, there exists an OS which undermines extreme enshittification. Can’t remember the name, though …

I’m a driving instructor and I believe automated roads would be a godsend. I’d actually be happy the day I don’t have to do my job, not because I hate it - I actually love my job - but because automated roads would be so much safer overall.

I think they’re responding to your question. The companies that deserve it are probably the ones behind the attack.

I remember when they first introduced the live chat feature.

You could literally watch the other person type something out, erase their mistakes and correct it in real time.

That shit blew my mind as a kid.

RIP one of the most enjoyable messengers I ever used 🫡

I’m more of a Pegasus guy myself.

Come on, you know those who have the influence over this don’t want it. Remember: Donald Trump loves the uneducated 👍
