Do Iranians have limited access to internet? Or is it all turned off? When we do get videos like this one, how is it reaching us? Some sort of Telegram channel I imagine.

I feel like a locally run AI model dedicated to accessing your own pirated content is the one use case where AI doesn't earn an eyeroll

I use local models. To me the entire point of AI falls apart unless you can run it independently.

I just think generating videos and stuff is more exciting and sensational. But if you get any use out of LLMs its a no brained to set one up instead of paying a subscription.

The bastard is alive.

This is my reaction to any and all Netanyahu stories regardless of prior context

Have you previously posted on the topic of AI before? There's been a few write ups by some very intelligent comrades here that personally opened my eyes on AI. I seem to recall your name popping up in the debates but I can't find any of the write ups I found convincing.

Sanctions aren't exactly a polite refusal to do business.

FWIW none of the Russian government actually described the invasion as taking only three days, that was their deranged media doing their usual stuff. They definitely planned for like, 10-14 days though, so egg on their face.

He also constantly accused Kamala and other democrats of supporting genocide and never told anyone to vote for her.

Hasan is both a DSA shill, and also part of the reason the Democrats lost the election, owing to his criticisms of Kamala.

I'm too old for streamers, I really don't have a horse in this race, but it's not lost on me that Hasan has actual, monied interests propagandizing against him. That's the only way you get silly narratives that appeal to 'both sides' like this.

 
 

Developer ZA/UM says it’s actually for TikTok users.

“We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” ZA/UM head Denis Havel said in a news release (via IGN).

let's gooooo I can't wait for the subway surfer in-app purchase DLC. no i'm not kidding, the store page marks it as having in-app purchases. something something capital subsuming something.

 
 

That's all. Played Civ since IV and the boardgame-like nature of it meant that I've gotten a lot of friends and family into it as a means to experience video games in general.

Civ VII looks really bad, even if I haven't played it myself. Systems upon systems that aren't properly explained, that somehow feel both cluttered and less in-depth than previous entries. Three truncated games making up the segments of one larger game is lame, too. A bad solution to the problem of people burning out in the later eras.

Most of all, though, is the business model of it all. Civ already leaned into 4X DLC conventions which meant getting the whole package was an expensive endeavor, but at least, for example, Civ VI had just two major expansion packs. Civ VII is already drowning into microtransaction leader purchases.

And then there's, just, the price. It's obscene. Denuvo is devastating to see as it creates a lot of barriers to giving the thing a try. I don't get excited for games any more, but Civ VII would have been one of them.

Anyone try it themselves? Anyone in love? Anyone feel like me?
