Most consumers aren’t reasonable consumers like you though. Peer pressure & curiosity is one helluva draw.

I seriously doubt there’ll be meaningful DLC and that the story will be long/entertaining. See the critically acclaimed RDR2,has no big DLC. I doubt it’ll ever come down to $20

I suspect it’ll be a vehicle to push GTA Online 6 or whatever. Even with that, it’ll still be $100. I also doubt it’ll come to steam till 5 years down the line. These are usual Rockstar & 2K shenanigans.

Not being cynical, being (relatively) realistic. Rockstar has a track record of demanding exorbitant prices & fans paying them.

I mean after Callisto Protocol bombed but Dead Space remake was a success, I’m not entirely surprised.

Big New IPs are way too much risk for profit crazy EA.

This is amazing! I wish there was something akin to Lemmy Gold! Lemmy give it to ya!

EDIT I’ve posted this comment to bestoflemmy

I’d love if it were Linux but its probably macs, mostly due to their superior battery life (compared to Windows).

Anecdotally my parents bit the bullet switched to Macs after using Windows 11 and all its unnecessary changes from 10. It was death by a thoudand cuts for them, where simple processes like search and printers are radically different than before. If they gotta learn a new system, might as well learn something that works.

Good luck to them! It’d be interesting to see how they prove scraping. Like do you find something unique to your website & then prompt the model to give you just that? So you use the citation/reference features that link to your websites?

Knowing the slimeballs at OpenAI I’d wager they’d have covered their tracks.

EDIT To be clear, I’m not suggesting they deleted evidence, but they “laundered” the data via a public training dataset like Eluther AI’s “the pile”.

I think its critical is realize the outward appearance of “development” is not a true state of a country, but usually a sign of huge wealth disparity between the richest and poorest. India certainly is a victim of this where there are essentially two societies within the country. I’m not sure of China since no news coming from can be considered trustworthy.

In fact, the “developing country” tag is usually used for marketing to attract investment.

This is a very insightful comment, thank you. I absolutely agree with most of your points. Though one minor disagreement I’d have: it wasn’t Trump who brought on the waning of US soft power, but US’s failure in Afghanistan/Iraq/Yemen during 2nd Obama term.

Ultimately the expense in forging the US influence overseas during the Bush era came at the cost of ignoring those back home. Trump capitalized on all that resentment. In fact he still is riding on it. Coinicdentally Its a lesson Modi needs to learn from his recent election result at home too.

Sidestepping the whataboutism of US support of Iserali “invasion”, the US/EU soft power is clearly waning in the East. Sanctions are only as effective as long as everyone is willing to comply.

Fixed & noted. Thanks!

They greedy af. They’ve lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it’d be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

I think Windows 11 was supposed to be that clean break. They’ve reimplemented a lot of core functionality compared to XP & 7. If they’re still getting breached then they obviously aren’t serious about security.

Microsoft focused on security at this point is like a builder focusing on building strong foundations now that the house is built on top.

It’s a little too late my dudes.
