  • A company founded and funded on the concept of activity tracking? Private?

    Also, when they first started they seemed to have an unlimited advertising budget, which is why they blew up. Where did that money come from, and what was the promise to those investors on how Brave will bring back revenue to them?




  • Yeah, but they hold none of the actual real emotional needs complexities or nuances of real human connections.

    Which means these people become further and further disillusioned from the reality of human interaction. Making them social dangers over time.

    Just like how humans that lack critical thinking are dangers in a society where everyone is expected to make sound decisions. Humans who lack the ability to socially navigate or connect with other humans are dangerous in the society where humans are expected to socially stable.

    Obviously these people are not in good places in life. But AI is not going to make that better. It’s going to make it worse.












  • it’s a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer

    The top of this thread:

    If a multiplayer-only game turns down official servers, and you can’t self-host within the game, they should owe players a separate server binary they can run, or a partial refund for breaking the game. It should not be hard, especially if it’s a known constraint when they develop the game.

    Emphasis mine.



  • You’re cool with it until you realize that they only want to do this to personally gain from it. And guaranteed will protect their own IP, and the IP of every large corporation.

    It’s just that you yourself and small businesses will no longer have the benefit of intellectual property. Megacorps can steal whatever they want with impunity since they are the only true holders of intellectual property.

    That sounds good on paper until you look at the long history of these people and how everything they do is entirely focused on their own benefit over that of others. They gain something to win here, guaranteed they aren’t going to let themselves lose on anything either.

    It’s the same sort of situation as AI regulation. Sam Altman and openai want the United States to crack down and make it extremely difficult to develop new models. Why? So that they don’t have any competition. They already got their foot in the door they want to close the door for anyone else.

    This is very likely the same sort of situation.


  • No it isn’t this is a crazy ignorant comment that just hand waves the problem I presented away because it’s not convenient enough for your stance.

    If you’re going to comment don’t comment in bad faith, that’s not the kind of discussions we need on lemmy.

    The problem begets the solution. And damn near every modern MMO has a significant set of challenges that they have built technological solutions for which drive more complicated infrastructure.
