Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Age ratings tell parents what’s in a game so they can make informed decisions for their kids. These AI statements are just as partisan as mandatory political essays or forcing developers to list their voting history to drive cancel campaigns and public struggle sessions.

Absolutely fuck this fucking guy.

Honestly, could we have those too? I would love to have that.

Capitalists - consumers guide the market by making informed ethical purchasing decisions.

Also capitalists - labeling requirements? Absolutely not.

I might be from that stain but I am knot a capitalist to my guillotinism.

It's a great "better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt" moment. He can't help himself, it's like the more power and money someone has, the more time they have to imagine how they're victims.

But I like to know who is an awful person so I can avoid them, so thanks Tim.

I figured that many people are sad and lonely, ultra rich people too but they usually also are low empathy ones so that's why they are lonely (and thus sad). Money just helps them force their thoughts down other peoples throats without effort.

Since when the fuck has AI been partisian? It sounds like he's trying to make it partisian. In reality, everyone hates the data centers. The only thing that's partisan-adjacent is that the Trump administration (Trump specifically) loves it, but that's just because he's a boomer and boomers, for some reason I do not yet understand, tend to like the shitty photo/video generative AI more than others.

People like this have two reasons to make it partisan:

  1. It's a way for them to stay delusionally self-victimized since "AI would be a total success if it weren't for that group of haters" and it's convenient to make the haters the political out-group, since typically these people already view themselves as tragically oppressed politically (while somehow having all of the power and being the only oppressors themselves).
  2. If they succeed in making it partisan, that means they gain about 30% of the population as supporters via political team sports, versus 90% bipartisan hate right now.

The only reason Trump loves it is because it's propping up our entire economy.

AI companies are also paying for tons of political advertising, and republicans are using it most to create their ads too.

As aggravating as this might be to hear, there is at least one state where workers unions have been pro-datacenter under the belief that the work to build them will at least bring them some contracting/construction jobs. Some states are destitute enough to accept anything, even if it's only a short-term bandaid for their economic troubles.

Boomers like AI because they're mostly fash. And the fash LOVE AI.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just as partisan as these things I have made up in my head!
