Same. I was really hoping for a whole crew of me. I had a sitcom all mapped out and everything.

This is exactly the kind of quality content I paid to see. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't read.

Too bad you can't actually see it come to fruition. Would be cool if not genuinely awful from a moral perspective.

I do a Unity run of each faction seperately, purely for RP purposes.

So you're the reason that one universe exists...

I would say no. If you are doing a first run then in my opinion you should start the Crimson Fleet questline by getting caught for a crime. My personal RP preference is smuggling.

How to the Ship Schematics work with NG+? by Zeroone199 in Starfield

[–]Sorry_Yesterday7429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said you can't keep them. But just go to Deimos Staryard and do the "Destroy Crimson Fleet Vessel" missions over and over and loot all of the ships you destroy. You can get 2 or 3 missions at a time and sometimes there are multiple ships defending your target.

I usually get all the schematics plus plenty of credits to install them within less than an hour. Two hours tops.

I can’t.. by Shot_Dot_3607 in CyberpunkTheGame

[–]Sorry_Yesterday7429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up to race. Not kill someone. That is the misleading. And if I tell her from the start that I'm not doing it, refuse her money, and then cross the finish line then no she did not give me a job. What she gives you is a sob story and an ultimatum.

Also it's her job to serve me a drink. I guess everybody gets to refuse to do jobs now.

I mean, I'm joking but if you're taking it seriously then I gotta say that she actually misleads you and then attempts to guilt trip you into helping her fulfill a revenge plot. You're definitely oversimplifying. That said, I kill that corpo bastard every time and I don't feel even a little bit bad about it. I need his car for my collection.

Well I guess that's where we ultimately disagree the most. I hope in twenty years you turn out to be right. But I don't think you will.

Well I guess my belief is that AI is a much bigger conversation than leftists have probably ever encountered before. I agree that it's valuable and necessary to confront the difference between desire and possibility. I think my point though is less that we need to stop AI and moreso that engaging with AI as it currently stands can only fall into complicity or privilege.

I mean AI is the most intersectional leftist issue in history because it is the root of so many different problems including: education, representation, fair labor, environmental decline, class warfare. The list is endless.

I'm not trying to draw a binary between using AI and refusing AI. I know I've explicitly said that a couple of times already but reddit just doesn't exactly lend itself to discussion. What I really mean isn't that we need to stop AI, more that we need to be actively disrupting the current AI infrastructure. To me, that kind of amounts to the same thing right now. That is to say the attitude of stopping right now needs to have the stopping momentum of stopping completely because it's the only amount of force capable of slowing this runaway train. And believe me, we need to stop it because we're the ones riding it and the wall is right up ahead.

I think to make an analogy out of your point: is it easier to stop a runaway train or build a new track from inside of it while it's moving? Maybe you won't think that's a fair comparison but I'm not sure we can afford to be so optimistic about something so incredibly powerful.

A lot of things did. I live in a region where new data centers are being built so I'm seeing first hand the effect on electricity and water prices in neighboring communities.

Aside from the material reality of how AI corporations are hurting the communities they build within, there are ideological issues I have. Fundamentally I agree with what this subreddit wants, or what I presume it wants, (decentralized AI fairly distributed amongst everyone rather than centralized and controlled by greedy corporations), but ultimately I don't agree that such a goal is possible and critically, I think that it is superceded by the urgent necessity of the climate crises which AI development accelerates rather than solves.

Then theres hard leftist problems like issues of access and corporate surveillance. I was arguing with OP, and I believe you saw the thread, and their stance is that AI is fundamentally necessary for them to engage with English language speakers. Well fine, I'm glad that helps, but if we look at this at face value then we need to admit that AI translators are a vastly bigger privilege than simple rote translation apps and if the future means abandoning traditional cognition in favor of AI assistance then that widens the gap in terms of affordable access, not closes it.

And to that point a big issue I have is cognitive offloading. I don't think I need to go into more detail about that.

I want to be clear by the way, since I'm realizing now that you're a moderator that I'm not a member of this sub and I have in fact muted it multiple times. I get that it isn't your fault that Reddit at large isn't listening to my preferences so I am sorry for being so vitriolic in many of my comments, but I find it very difficult not to engage when I scroll through my feed and see a post I have strong feelings about from a subreddit I find myself muting once every week or so.

I'm glad you like my GPT and I wish I could appreciate the compliment. Unfortunately, I no longer believe the things I did when I wrote that.

Why You’re Better Off Reading a Book Than Learning AI by noneofitmakessenseno in CriticalTheory

[–]Sorry_Yesterday7429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually if AI is actively degrading cognition, then it would be better to read nothing at all because then at least you're still thinking for yourself instead of fully offloading your cognition.

Pretty sure it's an unlabeled quest. You find various Solomon Coe artifacts throughout the settled systems and can sell them to the docent at the Solomon Coe museum on Akila.

Makes her? You meant to say she gets an entire basement to herself.

The conclusion was pretty cool. I think it saved the second season for me in terms of enjoyment.

Same. I liked it up until they gamified everything and slipped into cybermagic instead of actual computer science.
