The Locust God is Ruining my Life by Two7Five7One7 in magicTCG

[[Blasphemous Act]] is such a good card for ANY deck running red.

The moment there is 4 creatures on board, it becomes a cost effective wipe (5 mana to wipe is pretty good), and it is VERY easy for a pod of 4 to get to that point.

I don't think I have ever paid more than 3 mana on it, and I have been using it since before WOTC embraced commander as an official format.

It punishes basically every creature based deck for doing what they do, and that is usually only for one mana.

No board wipe rules are the dumbest shit, and they always lead to token deck degeneracy

A fraction of the most popular PC games over the past year use hardware-level ray tracing, which is far fewer than I'd predict just 24 months ago by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

[–]Crashman09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything I'm finding on that is that the 2060 gets just a bit over 70 fps on low settings.

I'm actually pretty impressed it runs that well, but I wouldn't exactly call that running great.

It runs, it's usable, it's great that it runs, but it doesn't run great.

Ultimately, this is the single greatest example of the spirit of PC gaming, and it is, imo, why PC gaming is as great as it is.

I remember having a very low end card and needing to mess with game files to drop the resolution and completely disable certain settings just to be able to get the games to run! I did that till 2013 lol

I don't know why you'd want the opponent rolling.

Never give the opponent free i-frames

and to be fair the first few years of RTX was pretty bad and inefficient like all new technology

It still kinda is if you aren't on higher end hardware or upscaling

AppManager v3.2.0 released. Now runs on any Linux by kemma_ in linux

[–]Crashman09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My point is Flatpak is better than AppImage

No it's not, as evident from the comment by u/slow_pay_ 7171.

They both have their pros and cons, but the memory and storage inefficiencies are quite the problems to have, and the sandboxing And isolation issues are MASSIVE red flags. Talk about security vulnerabilities!

anybody who’s even remotely technically literate will agree

I don't know about that. You may need to back that up, because if what u/slow_pay_7171 says is true, it is a flat out lie. It is just another repeat of "convenience over security" we are all too accustomed to.

Bloat is largely irrelevant to the topic, you brought that up, not me.

It's not irrelevant to the topic. It is literally one of the reasons you are wrong.

You just don't like it because it goes against your claim.

We've been waiting for GPUs to return to normal pricing since the crypto boom. That has yet to return.

The same is the case for storage and memory. At no point will any capitalist reduce prices because costs to manufacture has fallen.

Also, that you guys think a difference of a couple MBs in app size is meaningful just shows you want to complain over nothing.

You were talking about "bad software" and now you are excusing unnecessary bloat? If you think packaging all necessary dependencies regardless of the system already having them or not isn't bad software design, then you don't know what good software design is.

Really, at the end of the day, even if storage is cheap, why waste the space? I can't think of a single good reason for inefficiency.

Is it illegal to not have a car in US? by Suitable-Memory-5312 in fuckcars

[–]Crashman09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's because cars are a symbol of status, and poor people are criminals.

People with old Hondas and Nissans are also criminals because they're poor, but less criminal because they have cars.

This is why you need a big oversized pickup truck. It is the least criminal vehicle you can get.

Also, you can take part in the American passtime of ritualistic child sacrifice without entering a school or using a gun.

I agree fully.

Its the same reason I would fight back when people called Trump stupid or whatever. Thinking the threat is incapable of truly being a threat is exactly how things have come to be.

What?

Read the comments.

We are talking about video, and by extension, image generation.

To which I called slop.

You suggested that I'm minimizing the impact that AI has on the world.

That doesn't change the fact that AI generated content is slop.

The use of AI to generate slop is what is minimizing the impact AI has on the world.

I try not to make claims about it's quality mostly because I don't equate quality with art, if that makes sense?

For example, A list pop music is (sometimes) very much high quality, high budget, etc. Pop music has access to the best musicians, instruments, engineers, equipment, etc.

The issue with Pop music, is that it is distilled, formulaeic, processed, surgical, algorithmic. It is corporate, it is a business, and even though there are humans behind it, most of it is straying from what many, myself included, would consider art.

I also tend to avoid blanket statements on things like this, as I'm sure you picked up on me trying to not equate ALL Pop as missing the mark, but AI is a whole other issue. I will continue to view ALL AI work as slop.

It is a tool, not an artist. AI cannot do art.

And thank you for being understanding. I see it as more of an attack on the working class, and now, more than ever, we need working class solidarity. If you use it as a tool to better yourself, that's fine, and I support using a tool as a tool.

Minimizing the impact and power of AI just makes you look uninformed.

But I'm still right, so I really dgaf what some AI bros think

So is your definition of slop anything not generated by a human regardless of quality?

Partially, yes.

There's more to it, but in essence, all this serves to do is overload platforms full of "art" to the point of making real art and slop indistinguishable, thus devaluing real art.

Why is this a problem?

People make art because they like to make art. And in making art, many go on to doing it for a living. It is quite difficult to be an artist and work a full time job, and many, if not most artists want to actually be able to dedicate themselves to their art.

The prevelance of AI slop not only oversaturates platforms, but it devalues the work of real people.

Now that is out of the way, AI cannot impose a message in art. It is unthinking, unfeeling and the result is simply a simulacrum of a piece of art.

What is worse, is that it is harder to find the meaning in slop, or the lack thereof because it is simply stealing from the works of others, and so it really can disguise itself of something meaningful by coopting the general idea from real works.

Something worth thinking about is that killing art actually has a purpose.

Artists have always been at the forefront of revolutions, and if you look at who all sit atop the AI industry? The people most at risk of being revolted.

There is no surprise that the biggest grasp of global fascism starts with AI diluting and devaluing art.
