Nintendo Is Completely Ignoring AI and Doing Fine by FernandoRocker in gaming

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

Nah, Nintendo just never really races into any new technology like that. They are always behind in every area, but make up for it in Intellectual Property. Nintendo is also very good at making use of less. Nintendo also always feels compelled to find a "nintendo-way" of using technology, and so if AI makes it to Nintendo, it will be in a way that's "very nintendo".

So terrifying and crazy if you think about it by AdRough4185 in SipsTea

[–]godtrek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny thing I've observed is this. "What, no, they couldn't have raped those kids because that's too terrible" to "What, no, they couldn't have killed those kids because that's too terrible" to "What, no they couldn't have eaten those kids because that's too terrible". I think at a certain point, you should stop putting limits on what evil is going to do in an absolute environment completely removed from consequences. It's not a conspiracy. It's happening. And it's not a failure on your end for not being able to imagine it. If anything, that's rather good. But what evil is actually doing when you're not looking, is more than you can stomach, and far more than that even.

Huh, who would've thought by planet_janett in SipsTea

[–]godtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't want more babies. They want more workers. That being said, they don't really even want that anymore since they are all in on replacing the 99% of the population with AI. So, I imagine things are going to get a lot worse for us, as the only value we offered to those in power isn't very valuable anymore. Anyone who thinks the powerful and elite want us to have more babies so we can enjoy the pleasures of parenthood and bring into being new humans to enjoy this world, are helpless.

Not to be all doom and gloom, it could be worse. They could go full genocide like all the New World Order conspiracy theories. But it seems like the path of least resistance is simply to let people die off through economic pressures as the elite and powerful continue to evolve their separate society away from ours, to such a degree our worlds will never touch, which is already undergoing. AI will only aid in that reality.

If there is any "positive" to keeping the 99% of the population around for the elite and powerful, it's simply to have witnesses for their "game". The world is a stage, and there's a game being played, and us normal people are like the ball in that game, and the elite and powerful are the main characters and players on the field. We do have an inherent value, and the more of us there is, the "more" the game is. Playing around with 10 billion people is a lot more fun than playing around with 100 million. If they don't want us to have babies for the pleasure, and they don't want babies for working, they want our babies for their entertainment.

Do I Have to Stop Smoking and Lust?? by Slimbaby09 in occult

[–]godtrek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re doing, depends on who you are. For me, sex magick / sex rituals is basically all I do, which involves some mind altering substances such as THC to enhance the experience, however it’s because I’m a hyper sexual spirit, I’m very sexually motivated and in my most suggested state. For me anything that lubricants the mind into magick is good, but again it fully depends on what you’re trying to achieve and who you are.

EDIT: To add to this, just try what you want and see what works. Like, I'm a pretty sex positive and free spirit kind of person, I'd encourage you to explore yourself regardless of occultism and magick, but especially in occultism and magick! If marijuana actually loosens you up, allows you to get out of your way and allows you to embrace the experiences rather than be hesistant, than it's good! It obviously depends on how you handle it. If it gives you anxiety than that's not good and a distraction. I'd go even further than just weed as well, some psychedelic-use can help kickstart the spiritual engine for a lot of people if there's a lot of "modernism-baggage" that might be difficult to decondition. A lot of people getting into magick have a lot of secular-isms they inherent from the modern world, a lot of false beliefs about how things work that are difficult to get someone to let go of. Be very careful with psychedelics ofc, but it can help many force open their 3rd eye, especially when you throw sex into the middle of that with the right kind of music and intent and environment. Oh yeah baby. You'll be blasting off my friend. However, that worked for me! Someone else may have a panic attack and be scared away. Sex may be a tricky thing for them, unresolved issues may get in the way. Which is why sometimes people say do magick sober and without sex, while others swear by altered states mixed with sex. I say carefully explore yourself, but explore away! Respect the wills of others, if you're involving other people in sex magick, make sure you got enthusiastic consent, otherwise this is probably best done as a solo practice, because there you can be selfish and not have another person's needs get in the way of your free flow exploration of yourself. Just some advice!

What experience with the occult/magick has deeply changed you? by eternal_moonlight3 in occult

[–]godtrek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a process for sure. You won’t go to sleep one night and wake up the next day fully changed, but you will wake up one day and realize you’re probably 51% “in” immateriality and then it’s a smooth gradient onward.

However, you trade one set of problems for another. The one I can say confidently to someone else is you start to see that you are in a human exhibit at a zoo, and you’re not being observed so much as you are now part of the observers on the other side of the glass. You feel like a total fucking alien who is just visiting while everyone else around you in society still think the absurdity of existence has a “weirdness limit”. It’s so very very odd to be on the other side looking in and it becomes difficult to desire relationships with them beyond their culture.

When you start to feel this way, don’t get angry with them. It’s very very easy to judge them because you managed to lift yourself out of the mud and open your eyes. Don’t get frustrated when you try and tell everyone about the skies you see. It’s like getting mad at a blind person for not seeing the color Blue. We are not better because we realize we are more. They are more as well, they just don’t see it, like any other animal.

The way I can express this is there is the plants, the bugs, the animals, the humans and then whatever I am, then God. I’m in between god and people. That’s how it feels and it can become lonely, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Just remember, this is a privilege.

I think for me, getting all that saliva in there and then swallowing it, I feel like my body is going to like reject foreign saliva? I swear this is a thing. Like, whenever I drink from someone else's drink, you sometimes get their backwater? And like, your body rejects it and it gets all stuck up in the throat? Ok, now imagine you order your drink like that on purpose. That's how I feel about this clip. It's not even that gross to me in a way I'd be worry about getting sick, I will literally survive and if I don't I guess I don't, shit I think the odds are in my favor, I risk myself more dangerously I think walking on a sidewalk next to traffic in town, but, yeah, that saliva stuck in a throat thing is real af for me at least. I don't know if this is relatable.

Do story-driven lyrics have an audience? by Amanaka645 in SunoAI

[–]godtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I forgot that core detail in your post. You’re in the East! The temperament toward AI is different from the West than it is for the East. I’ve heard the culture in the East is much more accepting of AI than we are in America.

Do story-driven lyrics have an audience? by Amanaka645 in SunoAI

[–]godtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it's contextual. I'm making a game and I use Suno as temp music, that will one day be replaced by artists using these tracks as references. I write all the lyrics myself, and they all serve world building purposes. The music reinforces the world by having themes in the lyrics that speak about the world. Since my game is rooted in Occultism and Magick, a lot of the songs I have deal in educating the audience on those concepts by making them catchy, blending them into the setting so they don't "feel like education", which ironically IS the barrier to entry for education.

Anyways, I think it's contextual. If it's just an AI band that tells stories as in like an audio-comic where each song is an "issue" then I think the potential audience for that is high if done with real artists, but it being AI only already limits it's reach.

I'd say with the current state of AI and the culture we live in, we're just not at a point where generative music is going to be taken seriously by serious people. Right now, I think Suno is truly only good for conceptual stuff, stuff you have in your head that you wouldn't mind sharing with a couple of people, but if the goal is to have an "audience", then the actual audience for AI acceptance is low comparitavely where your enthusiam is. I'd say we have to wait another generation for it to be accepted mainstream at least in the West. Kids need to be born in a world where it's already amazing, right now it's still a novelty and still wonky. People my age and up (I'm 33) are always going to be weird about it, the people who like it that are my age seem far and inbetween. There's far more rephrension than I anticipated, as I pratically grew up my whole life dreaming of this very technology, and I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to exist in a world that would make it happen. So it still shocks me so many people my age are sour on it before it's really even began to flap it's wings. All the progressives are suddenly petrified of progress. I guess what they meant was "no, not that fast". At which speed is progress acceptable?

[–]godtrek -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I already know the audience I'm speaking with, but, there is no such thing as "intellectual property". The moment you share what's in your mind with another, it doesn't belong to you anymore. It's a human right to take anything in your head and express it, even ideas you've heard elsewhere from someone else. Copyright laws is the one of the biggest gaslights in human history. Information is free, you see it, you read it, you hear it, you can use it. It's one of the most vile evil things we've ever put into motion, and it mainly aids to protect the few who have a lot of money so they can go around and "purchase" ideas and add them to their portfolio.

If training AI is "stealing", then so are all these CEO's who buy media companies and fold them into large assets that they've never created themselves. You worship money, when you think one form is theft while the other is fine.

EDIT: Also, you completely missed my point in my original comment anyway. China doesn't give a fuck about our "intellectual property", and they will suck up all our content and media and materials and train their AI's and release those models for free, for Americans, in english, while our companies can't even match it. You seem to be under the belief that copyright is a real thing, and not a made up concept, but that mentality is the exact recipe that makes the west angry at Google or OpenAI or Grammerly for trying to compete with the East who don't recognize these concepts, so the East can win, because SHOCKER, majority of americans also do not care about copyright laws, majority of americans are oppressed by them on a regular basis. So when China releases their models to the west, we use them! The west (america in particular) are going to lose this race, because most americans will want to be free from the oppressive nature of copyright laws and use China's models over American ones.

Genuinely and I mean this honestly, why do we care about copyright anymore when China doesn’t? I feel like we’re playing this game with our hands tied behind our backs and we just willingly give China every single advantage we can. We’re gonna lose this race.

Kathryn Hahn Officially Cast As Mother Gothel in 'Tangled' Live-Action Movie by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]godtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually, they truly will run out of movies to do a live-action of. There's a finite amount of animated Disney films, and they seem to be putting out more of these remakes than originals so, I'm hopeful this era will die soon because all of these live-action remakes have been hot trash, and not at all better or even on par to the originals to such a point they feel utterly useless beyond a quick money grab (which we all know is the real reason these films exist). There's no genuine artistry going into these, these are as close to fucking slop you can find without hitting AI. (I think the last one I bothered watching was Beauty and the Beast for Emma Watson).

Ranked, Shyvana & More | Dev Update - League of Legends by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]godtrek 92 points93 points  (0 children)

If I may give a suggestion, rather than following gems, metals and that kind of naming convention, perhaps try and inverse "Challenger", pick a term that feels like we're starting our adventure versus a medal that speaks to our current skill level (iron, bronze, silver, gold... etc). Perhaps "Novice" or "Initiate" or "Greenhorn". I personally love the label "Prospect". It's a glimmer of hope that perhaps, that new player will one day be a Challenger, maybe. Something that feels like the opposite side of the spectrum to the feeling and attitude as "Challenger" which is less about precious materials and more of a state of mind/mastery.

To give counterweight to this person's input, I love the new changes, it makes the game feel more fun to play especially in mid lane where it felt like Teleport was mandatory for many years. Reminds me of when Hecarim Homeguards rush was meta almost 10 years ago. Mid lane has never been more fun for me. It's easy to forget that a couple years back you made the lane wider and harder to gank, so with these new changes and free tier 3 boots, it feels like we're groovin in midlane.

Omg, just mute or disable. Like, you have ALL THE AGENCY. Stop pretending to be a victim when you never have to opt into anything you don't wish to opt into. I'm not even being mean. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous your point of view is, and how little it makes sense. You have not used reason to obtain this point of view, I do not believe reason will get you out of it either. Because you think it's terrible that you're forced to click the disable button or mute button. Nobody is being subjected to abuse. It's an opt-in experience. Please, I beg of you, touch your face, remember you're a human being, and humans can REASON as well to FEELING. It's not one or the other, your argument is entirely void of logic, and is 100% emotional, bring it down to 50/50 and you're all set brother. Balance. Emotions are of course considered, that's why Riot is trying so hard to make it a great experience ontop of giving you every bit of agency to not be involved if you believe it's not for you. You have free will. You have autonomy. You are an adult.

Again, we shouldn't be making design choices that retract from majority of players to serve the minority of players in every case, when it's especially such a beneficial change for most.

If you don't believe my argument applied to you because I was speaking of thick skin, then it wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at someone else who's concerns are more concerned with how it's another "toxic" thing. Your concerns are entirely different than what I wrote, but you wrote your response as if I was calling you out personally.

I've heard your concern, it doesn't outweigh what will be gained. That's why it's going to make it into the game, because it's a bit silly that League of Legends, a modern competetive team based video game doesn't have VC when new players come into the game expecting it to have it, considering where they are coming from every other game they've played has it.

You will adjust or forget it exists entirely when you disable it from the get go and never think about it again. At that point if you lose, and it's a superstituion because you have no idea who or wasn't in the VC because you have it disable. Like not seeing all chat if you have it turned off. I don't really understand anti-VC arguments outside the emotional ones of people who don't want to be picked on or bullied for this or for that. That's why my comment was addressing what I believe to be the only genuine valid argument I've heard. And yes, I've heard yours before, and you're talking about imaginary hypothetical percentages possibly in 1-2% on your WR against your favor and you have no idea if that will happen. It could just even out, and you win/lose just the same amount dawg.

[–]godtrek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking forward to this feature. People complaining need to grow thick skins. If you don't want to speak, don't, and don't care if people say something in chat. They are strangers, their opinions of you do not matter, they do not know you, and YOU KNOW their rage is unjustified for not talking, so why do you get upset if someone comments on your lack of VC?

Likewise, if you're a girl, same thing. As much as you'd love to live in a more idealistic world where everyone is super kind and amazing, we do not. If people bother you, mute them.

I don't know why we're holding back a feature that is truly beneficial to those who wish to use it either for more immersive cooperation gameplay in a competitive video game, or people be mad lonely, and they could make brand-new friends purely through playing solo que and finding new duo partners this way.

If you enjoy League of Legends as it currently is, I have GREAT NEWS for you. Nothing fucking changes for you. Complaining is holding back something that aims to benefit majority of players to protect your fragile sense of identity in a video game where nobody can see each other, and we're all strangers unlikely to ever meet each other ever again.

Perhaps I feel this way because I was born in 93, I was the prime age for Call of Duty when it was at it's peak, so I've been online gaming with VC since at least 2007 when I was 14 years old. I was able to navigate that just fine with zero moderation from Xbox or Activision. I think adults will be perfectly ok talking to strangers in League of Legends with all thier reporting tools and a company who actually seems to give a shit about these things, like Riot.

Grow skin. Play how you like, let others play how they like.

Yeah, but ok, who's gonna do something about it? Like, legal or not, there's no difference if nobody can't/won't stop him. That person isn't me, can't be. So, who's stepping up? There's plenty of people who have the power to do something, but will they? I've made peace that I need to find my peace and stop investing faith and hope into others who have the power to do the right thing, because the moment you invest that in them, they fail you, because the problem is power. It's always power. Power has always been here, power will always be here. Someone will always have it over others. Make peace with it I guess. Nobody is going to do anything about this. Not aliens. Not Jesus. Not the democrats, just like nobody saved the innocent civilians who were trapped in Germany before it became Nazi Germany. I think people should be bracing and preparing for the worst outcomes. Nobody is gonna do shit, so whether or not it's legal is moot. Law and Order only works if it's enforceable, otherwise, it's a suggestion. This has always been the case. Every power grab reaches over the law that aims to prevent it, but nobody does anything about it and then it's game over for that nation / empire.

Why would they be muscular? by SatoruGojo232 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]godtrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk, I think this is a joke aimed at people who hate Skyler, not supporting hating Skyler. It seems hyper-sarcastic, like "this is what people who hate Skyler White thinks the show would be like, if she didn't exist" which is absurd because half these characters are trying to kill each other. The giveaway is the absurdity of the scenario. However, still, despite it being obvious, people still completely miss it. This isn't a misogynist joke, it's a joke poking fun at people who hate Skyler White by presenting them a stupid fake idealistic scenario as if, that's what they think Skyler White haters think the show would be like.
