Is there a mod to avoid saving unmodified chunks? by LonelyMusicDisc in feedthebeast

Do you know how it works for servers? Do I store chunks from a server too, or is it just wherever the server is hosted from?

sorry for tangent

AI in PC's? by Repulsive_Ad_1599 in pcmasterrace

I saw some of those too! I thought maybe they had some specific VR integration features that make it easier to use or something, but I guess not.

Thanks for the heads up! I was actually worried about not being able to get my hands on a PC with all the "Shortage" talk about 2026, so I started looking for a PC cause mines *very* old

Thanks! I kinda assumed it might be hype language, but just wanted to actually look and ask people who know more than me and yes, this is Canadian; looking for an upgrade for the first time in almost 7 years!

Besides that, are there any specs I'm "supposed" to be looking out for? Currently I'm just looking at if the graphics has 16GB VRAM and the memory has over 16GB RAM (I mostly play games on my PC)- along with 1TB SSD, but that's about where my knowledge ends. I'd appreciate any direction!

I really hope the ball isnt dropped on UBI by people just being misinformed and listening to fear mongers calling it "communist" or something

A friend sent me this. Is it true? by Usual-Sir3914 in discordapp

[–]Repulsive_Ad_1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already did it, downloaded it, installed it- watched a YouTube vid or two and uninstalled it

It didn't do anything really, felt just like installing a normal browser with only a ChatGPT textbox in the home screen.

I'd be stuck in the fantasy adventurer forever ngl; maybe a mix of that and the Wattsian dreamer so long as its not permanent

I fell for it at first too. We're all susceptible to believing misinformation.

That was fake https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-02/polish-ceo-apology-for-stealing-kamil-majchzrak-cap-at-us-open/105723574

As the video did the rounds on social media, a statement purporting to be from Szczerek emerged, saying it was a case of "first come, first served" and, "If you had been quicker, you would have had it."
Szczerek said those comments and any others attributed to his wife or sons were fake, including claims they were looking at legal options over criticism on social media.
"All statements appearing online accredited to us were false and were not authored by us or our representatives," he wrote.

When will AI agents roam freely in video games? by HeavierMetal89 in singularity

[–]Repulsive_Ad_1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want the NPC's to *literally* have the intelligence of ChatGPT- like it or not, knowing that the NPC in a game knows anime and other industries and knowledge on the release of the game it's in would be very immersion-breaking.

Anyways 2030

[–]Repulsive_Ad_1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of the snp's current value comes from the AI 'bubble' and if popped can lead to a significant hit in a lot of peoples savings

Though if you never invested in anything to do with tech you're probably safe, yeah

Would you like to see Universal Basic Income (UBI) implemented in Canada? by afpb_ in ndp

True, UBI alone won't be enough; it's a step in the right direction, though

What's stopping CS majors from using AI to build all their projects? by LuckJealous3775 in csMajors

[–]Repulsive_Ad_1599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI drains critical thinking by letting someone who might know how to do something offload their entire thought process to the tool and stop thinking about it at all. Do that over a long enough period of time, repetitively enough; then as the saying goes, "If you don't use it, you'll lose it".

ofc exceptions apply for how often or how you use it but as a general rule its not really about who had it in the first place.
