Yeah they need the community for that. They needed the community for everything. And you know what? Go on that site right now. It’s just endless dribble. Reformatted TikTok videos posted by bots. People endlessly repeating the same shit over and over again. Bots copying those endlessly repeated comments on the subsequent reposts. Where’s the stuff that made Reddit special? Has there been a chuck testa meme or noteworthy cool event like a good ama or the Christmas exchange that’s occurred recently? Is there content coming out of the site that’s making the news like it once did? Is the spark there? No

Now it’s just another corporate whore of a company where a bunch of sparkling water drinking pussies with erectile dysfunction sit around trying to figure out how they can best game the system to exploit their pageviews.

The ceo of this company comes out embracing Elon Musk, whines about how the community is cutting into his bottom line, and we are supposed to sit around continuing to provide this man with the content he needs to keep his website alive?

Fuck that.

I think the people who create the gold that makes the internet what it is have sort of scattered to the ether and they’re waiting for the next thing to pop up. When it happens you’ll see that spark come about once more. Actual interesting content. Good topical memes. A fun atmosphere that doesn’t feel exploited by some pretentious pricks.

I want it to be lemmy and the fediverse. We are lying to ourselves if we think this caught all the people stepping off the sinking ship. But I think with some collective upgrades and a way better ui that can be marketed to the average person. This could and should be it.

Here’s hoping we see that happen.

Ive absolutely bought shit that ended up as an embedded ad after I visited the page previously. Youre just more likely to follow through if you see it over and over again.

Its not really a complex concept.

The bigger criticism against Rockstar is as they swing for the fences they're building the framework to effectively heard western children in like cattle so they can milk them for a generation using their online service.

I can't wait for the collaboration with Fannie Mae where your 26 percent interest rate comes with 50000 shark card points.

Rdr2 was insane. Red dead online was a massive dud. The single player game was amazing, the scope was massive and they delivered in a great way. But yes it failed big time for them. But I still love it. And gta has delivered consistently. As soon as I see a major dud I'll call them on it, but they just haven't missed.

Rockstar has delivered consistently and set new standards far more than Bethesda. I love Bethesda but I've learned over the years that you can't trust Todd. I held off on starfield and was right. I got bamboozled by fallout 76.

You can disagree with certain decisions by Rockstar but you can't deny the track record. They get it done.

You're right we don't have the full picture but after 30 years of gaming hype I can tell you theyre shooting for the moon here. And if any developer will successfully stick the landing it's Rockstar.

Who knows how they will approach this. It's clear they're going to an even higher level of detail and a more living world. It appears to be a move to up things to the next level which is exactly what we have gotten with basically every gta game.

All I know for sure is my graphics card just committed suicide after watching this trailer

What isn't happening? Them making fake csam? I haven't seen it because I don't want to see it but I am connnnfident it's occurring. Some kid already got busted feeding images of girls in his class into an image generator and making nudes out of them.

So while it might not be wide spread it's 100 percent happening and will increase.

Honestly releasing these generators to the general public was a mistake. They thought they could put up safety measures but they're easily bypassed. I think they should have kept them locked up and only give access to people who are registered and trackable with people reviewing what they're generating.

All of these ai generators are getting abused left and right and anyone who didn't think that would happen is an idiot.

One of the wrestlers reported that he called him in tears begging him to lie about the sex abuse he experienced/ witnessed.

He’s a complete piece of shit and the fact that we are suggesting he be one of the people in line for the presidency is a travesty.

I’d rather see the country shut down for months than give this man one more inch of power.

Maybe he should try calling them and crying on the phone like a bitch that covers up sex crimes.

I couldn’t even finish clowning on you before you responded again. Yikes my guy.
