Uhh… Poe has helluva bot problem and has had countless cheats over the years.

Iv been playing since the original beta and man… If you haven’t seen cheats in Poe then you are either blind or actively don’t look around you.

In a sense yes there are too many. When the question is around the industrial level and making a living off the work. There 110% are too many.

No industry can support an infinite number of creators. There is a finite number of customers to serve after all.

There’s not a single genre at this point that I can think of that isn’t saturated by slop.

The fact you believe that means you fundamentally don’t grasp how truly if dumb the majority of people are…

That or your in denial that it’s as bad as it is.

Please hold onto that bliss. Once lost you can’t get it back.

I dislike LLMs but the only two fucking things this place seems to agree on is communism is good and ai is bad basically.

Basically no one has a nuanced take and rather demonize then have a reasonable discussion.

Honestly lemmy is even at this point just exactly the same as reddit was a few years ago before the mods and admins went full Nazi and started banning people for anything and everything.

At least here we can still actually voice both sides of the opinion instead of one side getting banned.

People are people no matter where you go

Well there Well there is a reason the word language is in the name. Asking them general questions like this is basically their bread and butter. It’s one of only things if not the only thing they are good at.

Occam’s razor. We know for a fact that websites are are stopping web crawlers to try and prevent the AI which is going to reduce the searchability in the search engine

We know that there are more websites being created now than in the past every single day

Combine these two things and it’s going to mean that search engines are less useful

Conspiracies help no one and they are very very rarely accurate when they are accurate it’s because there is not a single conceivable possible simple solution to the problem

In this case, there is a simple solution that answers everything. So why there could be and there probably is intelligent design behind why things have gone worse the chances of it being the main reason is zero

This rant made me realize people need to go work at a fucking gas station for a few weeks and find out how truly. Fucking stupid and uneducated the avg person is.

LLMs even as they are right now are so far beyond what a very sizeable part of the world is in terms of intelligence and education. It’s wild how stupid a lot people are.

And this isn’t even a recent thing it’s been like this for all of human history. People are for the most part God damn idiots. Some people are expectational in one or two narrow fields.

And barely anyone is good at more then a few.

Mate just stop being an asshole to people who choose to use the tools available to them.

This ain’t hard

This is Lemmy the avg user is about as willing to use a LLM as they would drink bleach.

They rather just shit on anything they don’t like, lie though their teeth to demonize the things they don’t like and deny reality around them.

Its the one constant Lemmy shares with reddit. It’s always funny to see that no matter where you go people are always the same.

This is the entire foundational point Gabe made with steam.

Hell I still get a chuckle when people bitch able steam “drm”. Since it’s entirely optional and can literally be turned off by just adding a text file with the steam ID in basically every case. If it’s even there to begin with

99% of the time the “drm” people bitch about is just the steam overlay dll crashing if steam is off. Cause you know trying to load something that’s off doesn’t really work.

You can literally just remove a single dll from like 95% of steam games and you have an entirely “drm” free game.

Silksong is a great example with how popular it’s been Iv seen thousands of people bitching moaning and crying about how it has drm on steam when it for a fact doesn’t. It just has the single dll so it can use the overlay. Just deleting the dll so it doesn’t load up the overlay and ta-da its fucking drm free.

Likely not, Amazon is a private market place and if their requirements to use it requires the drm his option is very likely use the drm or fuck off.

Not having good publicly controlled legal market places is one of the biggest failings of the internet.

Yep, I could pirate all my books and audio books if I wanted. All it would do is fuck over the author tho.

As much as I hate audible it’s the only legal choice I have for many of the books I listen to. Since basically every other legal option has out of the nearly 500 or so audio books I have less then 50 of them.

It’s annoying.

Over the years iv learned more and more. Almost every fucking major problem with laptops everyone always has basically boils down to

People are cheap fucks.

Really iiv never had to do that with any speaker iv ever owned. They always just reconnect when the lab becomes avaiable

No stalls. And if you refuses to strip naked and shower you got detention at my school.

The PE teacher was ALWAYS in the fucking locker room too.

The locker room and the shower room at my high school was also the same room. No partitions no privacy. The showers was just a row of shower heads on the far end of the single big square room.

She has multiple journal entries about how she’s had mates in the past but since she’s a demi goddess thus being immortal less something kills her. She’s literally outlived all her mates.

It fills in a lot of background why hornet is closed off to the world and overly pragmatic in speech while her actions are that of someone who clearly cares far far too much about those around her for the words she speaks to hold any weight.

She’s a lonely person doomed to watch all those she loves and care for die over and over for eternity. While she does her best to close herself off to keep everyone at arms length and her interactions purely transactional.

Yet she fails over and over. Becoming attached and making friends. Going above and beyond to risk life and claw to save those she tells to not risk themselves for she selfishly claims she simply wishes to see no more death. But in reality she just can’t handle the heart ache of watching people die so she helps those who risk themselves in their pursuit.

Hornet is a sad somber character. A great look into the curse of immortality and the weight of responsibly that comes with it.

People generally get horny over knights in shining armor and princesses.

Hornet is literally a princess knight. Hell she even has a white steed.

She’s a bit of a tsundere on top of it.

Hollow Knight is a very very cliche story of knights and kingdoms both the first and silksong. These sorts of stories are basically the foundation for a lot of peoples childhood fantasy stories.

So you have a very well made classical knights and kingdoms fantasy story with well done classic renditions of the standard character tropes.

Combine these two facts and you have a breeding group for people to become overly attached.

There’s a good damn reason these settings and character tropes are classics!
