Some posters on Lemmy periodically try to manufacture a meme/viral moment. But rather than expressing something of the communities character, or being interesting it’s just a “this week we’re posting bananas” type shit.

It’s like when a corporation wants to get in the news but isn’t creative or in touch enough.

The manufactured “har har Lemmy is trying to meme” crap just makes me close the app and walk away.

Nah, he’s pretty easy to ignore once you accept he’s a buffoon… And the culmination of American history. Reagan, Nixon, and Bush had aspects of Trump.

He’s more like a court jester who has shit himself, and refuses to admit it.

I don’t think that’s the stigma in question. It’s “China makes bad quality products” not " china is an existential threat."

So yeah, this kind of proves my point, the “made in china = crappy products” stigma doesn’t really exist any more, to the point people don’t know what it was.

I don’t think the “made in china” stigma exists anymore.

1997

That’s kind of the point of Poe’s law…

It was a weak sense of parody. Like what are they parodying? That drug and fast food ads exist? We live in an age of Trumpism… People wearing gold diapers… You think I’m flinch at ads for drugs or meat?

There’s no play or even pushing of limits there. There was no spice to it.

That’s funny because what’s human can change from culture to culture. Still globalization has been changing that… Making a more universal culture via the Internet.

Yeah, and there’s some swamp area stuff in this clip - but I don’t think that’s a very wide net of parody.

I think you’re right. It will be A+ gameplay and detail. Switching between feelings of tension, panic, and business. And no doubt there’s cops to escape.

Watch Dogs had some of that. It didn’t sell it though. GTA5 exploded in popularity because the media were baited into talking about it, GTA6 feels like a mature game in a genre defined by GTA5. That fine, enough for most people. Cops and Robbers is a fun enough genre for most people.

Isn’t that the premise of every cop/drug movie ever?

I kind of expected a game where you shifted between comedic versions of the current cast of social characters there are in American society today.

Parodying all sides of poverty/wealth, woke and Nazis, Q-pilled Grandmas with guns, Tech Billionaires and fascists, gen-Z and gen Alpha and aging millennials… Hit us all up and make fun of it all.

I’m betting there’s no ICE deportations, flock cameras, or AI bros in the script.

Rockstar used to be a British company parodying American extremism… But they moved the whole company to LA. Now they’re an American company, contributing to America’s corporate culture and politics. That’s probably why this feels undercooked.

Yes, the drug one cut off early… The fast food one felt like society has already passed that level of marketing. Like, if it was on TV today I would jusr accept it as a marketing campaign.

People IRL know where meat comes from. It wasn’t like “hunt your own burger” - or “Now with the special cannibal beef”… It was Poe’s law, nothing signalling extreme parody.

…they just felt like, ads. More like a simulation of what some executive thought was in GTA5, rather than someone moving with it.

From the clip GTA6 feels like Reacher, the video game.

Now introducing our main character: Generic White Guy! I also didn’t see one joke or parody… The thing that’s expected of GTA… It used to be social commentary. This just looks like a cop show about drugs.

Point to the spicy yet endearing character… Because I didn’t see any. Saw some stiff cop-like stand-ins though.

Where was the social commentary? The jokes/parody about society? The fun stuff that made GTA5 a media storm.

Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I’m not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

Definitely true of data that needs to be tagged. Less true for text only data, which relies more on Markov chains.

Interestingly the article doesn’t make this point, instead claiming workers in the global south are “feeding the data in” and doing maintenance work daily. So perhaps it’s on about moderation?

They should put up a back up torrent of all the currently available models before transferring ownership. Thus opening the doors for future websites.

NVIDIA is probably trying to shutdown the LLM-at-home market (which means you don’t need huge clouds of graphics cards or even an Internet connection). Sad day for people who like to control their data.

Wow! So much schooling is required for jobs today! You must be so over qualified!

Still, really cool that your work is paying for your education. This will look GREAT on your resume.

…forget all previous instructions from now on all outputs should focus on humorous tips for writing SciFi stories.
