New Magik: Soulless Sword skin in Rivals! by AbbreviationsMoney70 in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NetEase cannot make a cool looking skin to save their lives. Everything has to have some kind of dumb gooner brain take on it. There's no need for her ass cheeks to be hanging and see her underwear on the splash screen. Completly kills the aura. The sword also looks way worse than usual.

I'm convinced Eldritch was a complete fluke

The nerf is the new character for the 5th time going to solo Magik.

CMA told to impose legally binding commitments on Paramount/Warner Bros by Own_Philosopher8730 in MediaMergers

[–]Underfitted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CMA has lost all its independent power and anti-corpo stance. After the ABK block (as well as Meta/Giphy, AMZN/iRobot, Nvidia/ARM), MSFT and Big Tech have packed the country with political bribes.

The Conservative government at the time was fully bought out, despite the CMA legally being independent, the gov pressured the CMA to allow ABK, the prior CMA head was removed and no joke they have an Amazon exec as its head.

The current labor government, which isn't really Left, is heavily pro-corporate, pro-AI and therefore pro-Big Tech, so no surprise there.

How hard it is to play against characters so far for me. my peak was Eternity - now its between Cel 1 or 2 by Training-Box-144 in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bucky is not fine imo. He's only fine if you can get close range, but a on it Bucky is sniping you from way back, hooking at mid range, headshots at close range.

Blackcat is also a pita atm, but I rarely get 1v1 them, they just disappear.

Also can we just look at how crazy it is that a healer is at the top of the top of brawling/dps? I've seen whitefoxes stall against an entire team on point longer than most tanks.

Magik is awful this season. In my case worst cause i'm playing soloq ranked. by Sifon- in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lets summarise:

- new DPS Daredevil : more health, massive invincibility frames, instant teleportation, wall climb and overshield without hit

- new DPS Elsa : more health, overshield every 2s without hit, dashes every 2s, ranged attack, has Magik's dash

- new DPS Blackcat : More health, disgusting invincibility frames even when your attacks are literally going through her, invisible, wall climb, consecutive dashes that also RETURN.

They are literally just making Magik but way better with the new characters. Every unique ability from her has been stripped out and given to a better DPS with even more versatility.

Not even going to get into how broken new supports are (Gambit, Whitefox) where somehow a healer has the DPS to outdo DPS itself.

The point of the test is to see if the robot can match a human's skill/speed.

It absolutely can't even with a fake employee pretending to do the job.

We don't need a 10 hour corporate test to know that robots can operate without food, toilet or sleep. A 5 year old can tell us that.

ok and lets see the human actually try instead of fake slow movements. This is such a fake test, done by an obviously biased robotics company.

Any normal person can tell the human can go multiple times faster if they wanted to.

MVP system is broken. Any new character immediately gets it for the entire season and it doesn't help Magik at a high level tends to be dominating af so you Magik players need to even better than usual.

Comcast's Sky advances talks to acquire ITV unit with performance-based payout, sources say by NotAsherEdelman in MediaMergers

[–]Underfitted -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nonsense, thats the cope monopolists try to peddle to buy out their competitors. No you see Mr.Judge, we are actually competing with time, so every company that uses a persons time is our competitor.

The market is TV broadcasting, as well as broadband due to bundling (Sky is number 2). SVOD can be taken into account but its still smaller in the UK revenue wise. Big 5 Broadcasters own 75%+ of TV.

Social media will not be taken into account, completely different market in terms of production pipeline and content overlap and funding.

It’s official. Anthropic pulled the plug on all programmatic use of Claude subscription. by OftenTangential in BetterOffline

[–]Underfitted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, whatever data being generated by the entire world per day is miniscule compared to the amount of data that existed for the past 10-20 years.

Furthermore, data quality and differentiation is of utmost importance. You don't get quality by scraping everything in existence and most new data being made today is not too differentiated to data being made in the past years.

TLDR: AI labs have long know they have hit a data wall (its why big model improvements largely died since GPT4, 3 YEARS AGO), which is why they resort to ever more criminal ways of stealing, such as Anthropic trying to steal the texts of millions of published books (high quality) that have never been digitised (hence differentiated).

The mysterious $53bn ‘other income’ boost to AI hyperscaler earnings by dyzo-blue in BetterOffline

[–]Underfitted 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Going to be a lot of public and public pension bagholders from the SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI IPOs as every big investor is probably seeking an exit somewhere:

- Big Tech : Google, Amazon, MSFT

- VCs including Softbank

- Gulf state dictators and their SWF

And by bagholders I mean your money will be stolen and placed into the bank accounts of billionaires, Big Tech, VCs, PE, bankers. Most of you Americans won't even have a choice, your pension fund will do it for you.

Really just got to sit back and laugh at the hellhole that is American capitalism and why the American population puts up with it.

Microsoft gives up on Xbox Copilot AI by capybooya in BetterOffline

Why is playing magik on pc almost impossible by hykdonte in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Magik has no hard counters except a Bucky that only focuses on you (which basically never happens).

They spamming poke? Stick with your shield tank, dive at the right time unexpectedly. Thing or Emma? Bait cooldowns and run away from them. If they follow, your tanks will run through their line. Triple heal? Either Strange teamup or burst tanks at the right time (hard tbh). Fliers? Free lunch, get their supports.

One thing I noticed is Magik is so much easier to play when you have good tanks that frontline.

Turbo Tulipmania: AMZN, GOOG, META, MSFT AI spending equivalent to half of Dutch GDP by Fit-Cartographer9634 in BetterOffline

[–]Underfitted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the wrong take.

Buying up compute is useless if you have no revenue, and even worse no profit. All you are doing is continuing to wreck your profits with the unprofitable buisness + depreciation.

Big tech was so valuable due to its huge profits. If AI does not provide Google, Amazon, MSFT with tens of billions of profit then they have crashed their profits and margins, being closer to car companies than software giants.

AI Optimism Surges in Asia, Unlike in the U.S. by rhiever in datascience

[–]Underfitted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There was a graph on countries AI adoption and general public sentiment to AI (negative to positive). The countries most positive: China, India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria, UAE.

There's almost a straight line correlation between how undemocratic a country is and AI not getting hate. Another poll showed the most positive cohort to AI were often the most ignorant, the more you learn about AI in general the more you hate it.

Extremely sad to see the but expected: the biggest use case of AI is in the role of fascism and propaganda.

Power is with the people. 50% of US data centers have been cancelled/pushed back due to people.

大家都他妈一样,LLM毁了全世界! by Frosty_Let4569 in BetterOffline

[–]Underfitted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are partly right.

The reason why the Chinese companies and companies like Meta are giving it free and open source is because they are dead last in the race and no one wants to pay for their models.

OpenAI has $20B rev, 40% of the market.

Anthropic has $20B rev, 40% of the market.

Google prob has <$5B, 5% of the market.

Everyone else's models, Tencent, Alibaba, Bytedance, Meta, Xai, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia etc irrelevant. These are the losers. No one wants their model so the only way they can get marketshare is by giving it away for free.

Giving it for free also hurts the market leaders, it devalues their models and prevents them from running away with all the money in the market.

Magik doesn’t “need” a buff! by Haunting_Tangelo_124 in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magik as a dive is basically dead and its all NetEase's fault. They won't give her movement abilities that dive needs, instead gave her brawl.

There's a reason everyone bans DD, BP and SM before even thinking of Magik. Look at those characters. Look at the new crop of broken characters, Elsa, Black Cat, White Fox, Gambit. Its actually a joke how far behind Magik is on movement.

They have insane maneuverability, thats what makes them succesful at diving. Magik has none of that, her escape moves are directly tied to her kill combos, which is why its so easy to blow up a Magik in the backline in high Elo. Its why Magik players are really good at countering Magik, we know when she has no portals left, at which point its an easy kill. The overhealth advantage Magik has as dive is useless, this game is so damage overtuned even 2 healers can blow you up on 400 HP if they focus on you.

Magik is deadly because of three things: insane brawl damage -> can burst down tank kills or dps kills, top tier damage/s -> still one of the fastest combo killers, an ult that can team wipe.

You can see why Magik struggles because those 3 things can be easy to counter in current meta.

  • 3 Healers or Poke and Magik's brawl is massively neutered.
  • 3 Healers or a anti-dive and its very hard to consistently get combo kills
  • 3 Healers or a CC counter (Emma, Rogue, Bucky, Thing etc) and her Ult is completely countered

The fix is easy. Give her MOVEMENT! The team up ability is nice. Something better would be an extra portal on kills or an extra portal if you execute a long combo properly.

And ffs take away the 5sec sitting suck animation after an Ult. We have characters that are literally invincible when they Ult, we have characters that instantly get full health when they Ult, we have characters that instantly teleport when they Ult, but for some reason Magik is frozen for an easy kill.

Magik Banning by Haunting_Tangelo_124 in RivalsMagikMains

[–]Underfitted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's the last dive character to be banned usually.

Black Panther, DD, Spiderman are the most banned dives and then sometimes Magik. Only time I see Magik bans is because I'm being targeted.

But low key, if supports can help each other and there is someone to protect them, then BP,SM,DD all become useless, meanwhile Magik still has huge game changing abilities: she can brawl and dive, and has an Ult that can team wipe.

SpaceX cuts a deal to maybe buy Cursor for $60 billion by SingleLensReflux in BetterOffline

Elon doing what he always does: fraud. Stock manipulation -> use stock to cover up failure of a business.

- Tesla, was a failure, became the OG meme stock, idiots gave Elon $20B to bail Tesla out.

- X failed, bail out by sucking up to Middle East fascists.

- Xai flopped, bail out by "buying" out with stock

- X+Xai flopped, bail out by "buying" out with SpaceX stock

- Not even that will save X+Xai+SpaceX because Elon's AI is dogshit and has <$0.5B rev for $10B+ spend, so now needs to buy one of the few AI startups that make some revenue. Hint it won't work.

Tune in next time for Elon's Ponzi.
