It’s…complicated. On its face I don’t have a problem discussing my feelings. I’m a living breathing human being and life hits all kinds of different ways.

I have learned that I can’t just tell any old person what I’m feeling or going through. And that the things I tell people.can and will be used against me. And no. Not just by women. Any person with a sufficient amount of cleverness and a busted moral compass can use what you say against you.

See I was also going to suggest Harpy but it felt strangely on the nose for me.

The Devil Within - Digital Daggers, piano version.

Christ. It feels like those games were so long ago.

Even the early access for the original mode?

You were probably just really into Fortnite back then.

I think you might have a point in regards to overall. But there will always be a market for the bespoke.

I’m sorry but I don’t think you should trust a book created during a time where electricity was still the gods fighting, for examples on how to navigate tech.

Because the AI is faster to make, doesn’t have an artist or actor(ess) “wills and won’ts” filter, and can be specifically catered to the user for a fraction of the cost.

Will there still be a market for porn as it is now? Oh for sure. There will always be a market for the bespoke. Will AI porn take over the lower end market/mass market? Signs are pointing to yes.

I think you’re not giving enough weight to the fact that more than seeing real bodies people want to see their “ideal” bodies.

Not only that but if the bot is increasing engagement in your community then…isn’t that at least an admissible thing?

I got banned from RPGmemes for apparently boosting a bot account. So no idea.

I’m thankful I’m not any of the people who are glad not to be Americans.

That’s odd. 100% of the hipsters I know are at least college educated. And there’s a few that have multiple degrees or masters in their fields

I think the niche nature of Lemmy attracts a large amount of ivory tower hipster types.

You must not have been paying attention when that one Java programmer quit and took his code with him.

The whole interview is worth a watch, but you’re looking for the part where he talks about his uncle.

Give me two seconds I need to find an article about something John Stewart said recently that I think you may need to read.

Knocking onto this, it could also stem from the fact that they’d like a bit more of OPs time. A new item means(presumably) less time trouble shooting and repairing, more efficient use, and less time having to correct the items mistakes. That additional time is some of what they are lamenting not being able to get.
