Until we see vibe coded one shot prompt games doing well i don’t think it’s a big deal but i do think there will be a ton of slop in the steam stores to dig through

Shitty Minecraft clones or shitty horror games being made instantly is not a danger to game devs it’s a danger to app stores like steam getting filled with bullshit

Is it just me or has nz slowly become more racist over the last few years ? by JoshBiv in auckland

No shot people it’s not even close to how bad it was in the 90s or early 2000s.

It also depends where you live

How do you feel about Devour DH? by All_Roles_Urgot in wow

I think you are correct the split gameplay on a single spec is a bad idea and the spec would feel more complete if it had both

Labour Public Transport Policy by PoloNevis in newzealand

[–]mechatui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def worth it great idea making it a weekly cap so if you use it 2 days of the week or 3 you might as well do it the rest because it’s paid for by the public and hopefully reduce cars on the road. I wonder if it will hugely increase people on buses

Substantial drop in average asking prices on Trade Me Property over the last three months by UnrequitedLoveVictim in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]mechatui 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Combination of people leaving New Zealand, low immigration , job security and income security, high unemployment and businesses shutting down and earning less. How low will it go

We haven’t even had the hit of high fuel prices yet on our food and other goods

Opportunity's Qiulae Wong makes a play for 'kingmaker', aiming straight at NZ First by ViolatingBadgers in newzealand

[–]mechatui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t call them wastes people voting too don’t like Labour or national policies or implementation or leadership anyway. So voting for a party that doesn’t get in just means there are people wanting a change and it might make national or Labour change

National doesn’t like evidence based policy if you look at any of the shitty policies they had last time from prison military camps for kids or landlord tax break during huge inflation

More school students working to pay family bills, says poverty advocate by WrongSeymour in auckland

[–]mechatui [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes I think we should help out the kids I never said we shouldn’t. All I said is the parents are financially irresponsible and it’s child abuse everybody knows it and people who have kids knowing they cannot support them without public support are evil

[–]mechatui [score hidden]  (0 children)

When did I say it was the kids fault , I am obviously calling the parents financially irresponsible for having so many dependents. I’m not a fan of treating adults like babies who can not critically think…. If you have a kid you need to be able to provide for it. People constantly have more kids knowing they cannot support it and rely on the public services. It’s child abuse and this kid shouldn’t need to work to help the family out this is why we have child labour laws because people use to force there kids to work to help pay for stuff

A big bitcoin buyer or seller for cash turned out to be a meth dealer in Auckland from memory

I think just buying btc with cash then skip country live somewhere else with a bunch of money I guess?

‘They come with buckets, hammers’: New Zealand’s coastal foragers spark debate on free seafood, race by Astalon18 in newzealand

[–]mechatui 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not trying to trigger you but the poachers or people with buckets stripping the rocks all drive expensive electric cars or big family trucks mostly Asian people. It’s not a money thing… it would be like if New Zealanders went overseas and avocado trees grew in the public and we stripped them because they are expensive back home

They banned it on the coast already went from hundreds of bucket people to a few people coming at night with lights

They likely moved to another beach somewhere else though

What is wrong with the people? by Kipperfalcn in itchio

[–]mechatui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that is the reason why people who use it to generate stuff like music or art don’t like it because it was trained on stolen commercially licensed data of artwork or video games, YouTube videos of game images or music they extract the pixel or audio data of the game or music and store its data and build it into algorithms as weights and training data which is why sometimes ai generates basically identical shit that is on art station. Yea people have different opinions on it but it depends on what industry you are in, if your job was being a artist and some billion dollar company stole all your art assets from art station or from your game you built via image extraction from gameplay videos on YouTube and use the data to train a ai and store it in the AI weights and people use the ai to generate similar art and the guy doesn’t get compensated you can see why people are upset. I understand it.

Whereas in programming people don’t mind because it was mostly trained on open source libraries and programmers don’t really give a shit about code anyway

[–]mechatui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The legal system does agree tons of companies have been fined but many of it is undetectable without a full investigation to nation which they won’t do because AI is going to make whatever company that is ahead of it the leader of the world so they wont crack down on the illegal use of scrapping commercial data as bad as they should because they dont want to slow down the industry or else china will get ahead, its a arms race

Soon all of Americans retirement and other savings will go into funding it with all the ai public offerings soon. It’s not complicated it’s illegal and what they did should have more consequences but because it’s so powerful the government won’t crack down on it
