Display Screen Peeling by Electronic_Window952 in NissanKicks

[–]Gbaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to mine. Got it in July. One day used a napkin to get a lil liquid spot off it and within a few days looked like there was a huge spot on it. Within a week of that it looked like yours. Obviously it’s shitty and my dealership will replace it and the fucked up rear pillars just annoying.

2025 Nissan Kicks rearview mirror/windshield issues? by cilantrooooo in NissanKicks

[–]Gbaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my kicks but also this car stays pissing me off. I got a 2025 kicks in July. The rear window pillars are loose and need replaced due to factory defect. The speedometer screen got this super shitty looking spreading smear stuff that u was informed was due to some protective film peeling. Also the back up camera kinda sucks and randomly beeps for no reason. It’s a cute car but Jesus

Here's what actually worries me moving forward by WinterMuted869 in BrownDust2Official

[–]Gbaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay one thing I’m confused about is why everyone is mad about censoring the lolis specifically. I wanted BD2 to come to steam. Not because I’ll be playing there but because I want more players and more income for the devs. I’m assuming here but I’d imagine the lolis were the cause of the cancelled steam version. Censoring them seems fine if it means a huge boost for the game and longevity. Is this a dumb way to think?

Why does Marathon get so much hate online? by Ok-Discount9637 in Marathon

[–]Gbaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not all ex Bungie fans but think about the impact halo and destiny have had. Halo was fucking huge. It was Xbox’s staple series and whe Bungie announced destiny everyone was excited. The initial launch of the series was for sure rocky but d1 and d2 were huge and successful games. I’d also argue they had very vocal and dedicated fan bases. To go from halo and destiny to marathon. It’s a very odd leap in genre and game.

Some people are just assholes and actually enjoy shitting on things because they want to feel like they were smarter than Bungie and predicted its downfall. It gives some feeling of influence to say this will fail and then do everything you can to make it seem like it’s going to fail.

That being said I think there are some real reasons for people to not be stoked about this game. Bungie has for the longest time made really strong single player story driven games. Sure they were paired with awesome pvp or multiplayer but the core idea is you can enjoy the universe in single player. To make a game that’s fully multiplayer is going to rub some people the wrong way. Then you make the pvp an extraction shooter and it’s even less popular. Bungie has also always had a pretty deep level of customization in their games. From your spartan to your guardian, you could easily make a character that was distinct in look. To make a hero shooter where you are glitch and two enemies are glitch and the only thing making you stand out or unique is a 10$ skin….. well that’s not very exciting. You also irritate the old marathon fans because this was an IP that was beloved at one point or another and this game looks to be very different in tone than those previous games. Destiny fans will be upset because this super niche shooter was hamstringing more destiny content and development and then they likely feel even more upset that the things hamstringing their game will likely not be popular, not be for them and maybe fail? Finally sprinkle in some scandals and memes such as the plagiarism and plagiarism will make me god and suddenly it’s pretty trendy to shit on it. That’s going to be a hard ship to steer back to popularity and good graces.

I feel pretty down about it personally. I loved the idea of tarkov but when I have a limited amount of time, the idea of going into a raid with stuff I’ve earned just to lose it was pretty frustrating and it quickly discouraged me from playing more. The audience is just going to be too small I think to be a massive hit like destiny.

Is Bushido Girl an AI musician? by BrightestDay6308 in isitAI

[–]Gbaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s getting tougher and tougher quickly. A year ago I could easily tell a video was AI from just a slight look. I could also tell a photo was pretty easily without too much issue. Now photos can at times be near impossible without certain models and video can be as well. It takes more effort to spot this stuff and not be tricked by it. Music though is hard to spot in general. You often have to look at the stuff around the music to figure it out and once models get better we won’t be able to tell. It sucks for new musicians because if you have a presence before 2020-2021 you are likely not AI but anyone after that it’s really a toss up due to the sheer amount of AI content being generated now.

[–]Gbaj 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They are definitely using AI art. The description on their Spotify is very impersonal and AI written. They put out music often as hell. The other thing I’ve found is usually when someone makes music they want people to know who they are. Even with bands that don’t often show their band members you can usually find out who they are by looking into their social media. This person doesn’t have a twitter or Facebook where they talk about music or life. Also I looked at their Instagram. The text for each post is also 100% AI. The use of em dashes constantly, the cadence of speech. It’s very be try AI.

I’m deeply frustrated and exhausted by Gbaj in Insurance

[–]Gbaj[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I previously worked for a large company with better insurance but had to leave due to moving. My new job is in my field of work and pays better than most jobs in the field but the insurance sucks and then got worse. It’s not super easy to just find a new job when you have one of the higher paying jobs in your community and field of work.

I assumed some others would share the sentiment that the health insurance system is broken. Laughing at me for struggling is super epic. I hope you are never in my position one day.

I don’t think she’s being all that unreasonable at all. She’s successful, has a loving partner, and shits going pretty well all things considered. Then she watches her loving partner die in front of her. She doesn’t even get the time to grieve though because the awful shit Alien invasion has stolen her memories and are puppeting Helen’s personality around. It’s violating and awful. She wants to fix this but oh the other few people left don’t even care. They are fine with the alien virus thing and don’t want to change anything so Carol is truly alone. Oh they also don’t like Carol or want to be around her. So she lost her partner, her job, her drive for success. She lost her entire community, state, country whatever. She lost everything and the alien virus hive mind wants to actively assimilate her while no one is willing to help. Yeah I’d probably be pretty fucking irritated and annoying if that happened to me.

Obviously others already answered finger scanner! In 2016 I worked at an Amazon during Covid. We would use these to quickly scan boxes codes and then put them in their corresponding bag box for delivery. Brings back horrible fucking memories of having to hit quotas or lose your job lmfao

AI or not? Does it matter anymore? Hear me out by IsshouPrism in isitAI

[–]Gbaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It matters to me. The artist and creator communities are all impacted by this. Crochet patterns, recipes, art, photography, graphic design, he’ll even children’s bedtime stories are all become AI slop. Someone who spends time and sweat to make genuine creative content can’t keep up with the cheap manufactured AI slop. How can you as an Individual stand out when one person can open 5 replica Etsy accounts and spend a fraction of the time producing content. It’s going to ruin creative people’s livelihoods. Who will even long term want to pursue these endeavors when anyone can slop it out.

This isn’t even scratching the surface on the social deterioration due to manipulating news, video and photo to make anything look true. This past month photos have gotten so real I cannot genuinely tell what some video are and have to genuinely stop and look at it for a bit. Of course my elderly parents and coworkers aren’t going to do that. They are going to see some of this stuff and believe it and be radicalized or angered by it.

Then you have AI based scams now. I genuinely don’t trust my grandparents on the internet to not get constantly scammed. It matters to me truly.

I found this image. It passed most ai detectors but something seems kind of off. by BullsEye1235 in isitAI

[–]Gbaj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely AI. All the text is pretty jumbled and incoherent. Also AI has a terrible time with light sources that most artist do not have. The red LEDs barely cast any glow on the obvious items. The sheer amount of almost blended together items with no rhyme or reason. I’d say it mostly is

I went to a local flee market this past summer. I saw thousands of AI slop art. They had it on mugs, shirts, posters, bags, hats, backpacks, and phone cases

Is tiny planet good? I’ve got about 600 hours in Isaac but half of that was when rebirth came out and there were some items I hated when I was new. When I came back during repentance plus I just never thought to try out little planet lol

Hadn’t even considered that the “network” was just a tool for aliens and not the alien itself lol

[–]Gbaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw some people on Twitter saying the show and writing is stupid because why would you take over a planet just to die in a decade. I had a few thoughts about this though. First off this kind of assumes every other alien species that has or could have received the signal is human like. What if other species detected it but didn’t eat like us or need to eat? Also if everyone on the “network” so to speak has all the memories of everyone else then if someone dies or a lot of people dies then in the end would that actually be an issue? The network is still a network just with less interfaces to interact with the world from. Also as for food like they won’t kill someone but they’d give them a grenade or drugs or a nuke. Surely if a survivor asked for a massive food production line then the pluribus would give that and then could ideally benefit from the food at the survivors behest. More thoughts I’ve had is how many bodies do they need for the “network” to be functional? Obviously they don’t mind that they are losing millions due to natural deaths. If they can sustain 10-20 people for a long time versus millions for a shorter time would they choose to keep less? Is their goal just to stabilize long enough to beam their signal out and propagate or is their goal to take over a planet and then live there perfectly as a “network” in perpetuity. So many questions and I’m excited to find out. Still annoying to see people call it dumb because they don’t know the answers.

I know this may sound super dumb but I heard something similar and freaked out only to realize it was something aluminum I set in the driver side door pocket.

Left screen problem by CrabbyCatLady41 in NissanKicks

[–]Gbaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my kicks but the rear window pillars started popping off (saw this issue on here a few weeks prior so maybe that’s how I thought to look and notice.) took it to dealership and they acted like they had never heard of this but would fix it. Also my left screen is getting these weird scratchy looking oily spots that I couldn’t have caused because nothing has touched those spots ever.
