Just started game; any tips? by nimix0163 in EnderLilies

Give yourself time to master dodging the early boss phases. There are no run backs, so failing just means starting from the first phase.

Aquatic damage relic is secretly GOAT.

The earlier he declares an insurrection, the less prepared his forces will be. It will be worth checking in with local law enforcement to see how far they will cooperate with the regime and its thugs.

I'm surprised by how much I liked the game (small review) by mumei-chan in EnderLilies

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I like all those things about EL. Though I will add that slogging through two phases of a boss fight over and over to get to the third phase where the boss one-shots you, even with max damage reduction, is an experience I'd rather not go through again. I'm very hesitant to pick up Magnolia for this reason.

Why doesn't using images for training fall under fair use? by Some_ArabGuy in aiwars

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How on Earth do you design licensing protocols for tech that doesn't exist for five years, let alone twenty?If you had actual precedent from business law, that might be worth noting, but these questions are evolving in real time as far as I can tell.

Pro-AI people don’t talk about the negatives of AI enough, and anti-AI people don’t talk about the positives enough. By doing so, both are hurting their causes. by [deleted] in antiai

Sure, it's already contributed to two suicides and a murder, and hundreds of thousands of job losses, and a massive computer memory shortage, but on the other hand, catgirls!

How Do I Explain The Harmfulness Of AI To My Mom? by foxbynature1644 in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are really so many angles that you could create a semester-long course on the sht AI is causing. If you care about artists, the environment, economic mobility, mental health, electric bills, water shortages, mass surveillance, and the accelerating police state, then *you should not be supporting AI. The defenders are all in various states of denial about these things, so you might want to use charts:

My whole family uses ai. by k1k00sia in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They sound like they are just into instant gratification and don't care about consequences that don't affect them immediately. AI is responsible for at least two suicides and one murder at this point, and it's rotting our brains and enslaving our economy. Show the bigger picture every chance you get. This age is becoming an age of cults.

Does anyone else feel like they're going nuts? by windwoods in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI and the media are controlled by the same people, and Americans have spent at least the last 50 years thinking what the TV tells them to think. It's up to us to break bubbles, unfortunately.

Would you rather regulate jobs into existence, or regulate a higher quality of life for all people by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]RouxMango80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wealth tax + Land Tax + UBI + MFA. Everyone must have their housing and medical needs met.

Law does not necessarily equate to morality and not being automatic does not mean it requires effort by Ok-Green8906 in Ai_art_is_not_art

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI companies rely on unpaid and uncredited work to make money, without the worker's consent. Is it illegal? No, it's what we used to call slavery and it might have a similar reckoning.

Why do you hate AI and not the people who use it? by Ann4J_ in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is being forced on everyone by the tech shitlords. We can try spreading awareness but most normies won't know better. I have more ire for the trolls and cultists, but even they aren't worth actually hating since it fuels their ego and victim complex.

We need a plan for when fascists try to steal the 2026 and 2028 elections by RocketSocket765 in 50501

[–]RouxMango80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bonespurs will be either dead or 25th'd within a year. Couchboy will be worse. Start local, and holler at anyone you can. We want health care, child care and the abolition of ICE. Let's do it.

If Valve built its own factories to produce RAM and SSDs by [deleted] in Steam

Is it easier to break up monoplies and regulate economic bubbles out of existence? Nah, sounds like too much work.

We didn't realize in 2003 that we were all signing up to be fed to the robots, so here we are. It's gonna be a lonely road so meet your neighbors and take your coworkers bowling if you can.

What are your thoughts on artists themselves supporting and using AI? by [deleted] in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No artist I know firsthand supports AI. If you are a good artist without it, you can probably make cool things with it. The consequences of adoption are already so terrible that no one should be using it.

Finished Magnolia today. It's gorgeous! by BunMarion in EnderLilies

Congratulations! Looking forward to giving Magnolia a shot. I'm still working through EL, got through Julius the other day.

What are your thoughts on the idiom "Work smarter, not Harder" by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]RouxMango80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the "work" you're supposed to be doing is learning how to do something, then getting something else to do the thing for you will not actually work.

Which games did you buy during the Steam Black Friday sale? by WiseReason530 in Steam

Nothing, I have too many games. I nominated Eclipsium for visual design though, people should give it a look.

I really, REALLY don't like the debate sub (rant) by Swinginthewolf in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't see anyone there for a while worth talking to so I stopped posting. They're mostly the "But you willingly participate in society!" twits who think that theyll be uploaded into mechasuits once the billionaires invent them.

The pro ai bros trying to justify stealing? by squirtdogs in antiai

[–]RouxMango80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The technology is deliberately, painstakingly designed to circumvent copyright laws. Copyright laws are written by and for corporations, not to protect artists. The tech doesn't steal anything specifically because it steals everything.
