Dude we’ve got horseflies around here the size of a quarter with these big nasty green eyes. They bite and their saliva burns with the heat of a thousand suns.
I didn't notice it at first, but yeah. Why on earth would someone do that? It seems like such an inefficient method. Like, I highly doubt this picture is going to go viral or anything.
If this is a screenshot from a televised event (idk anything about it so idk if it is) it may have been done as processing for TV. They do it in the NHL with TV airings. They’ll cover the ads on the side of the arena with other ads more relevant to viewers not near the arena.
For example if Pittsburgh plays Edmonton at Edmonton. Edmonton has a bunch of ads for businesses in the Edmonton area but not Pittsburgh. So on TV they’ll digitally cover them with another ad that is either something nationally acceptable or local to Pittsburgh.
Probably not. I know nothing about the origin of the picture. I just wanted to provide some alternative. Idk why someone would put an app in the back of a picture completely irrelevant to it. It’s pretty crappy and really not good marketing.
Honestly, cyberpunk has a good point though. Look at how afraid folks are of just LLMs stealing jobs. Now imagine actual androids were taking jobs. Artificial humans have commonly been used as a corollary to immigration and racism. It's just these devices in homes don't pose as much of a threat in competition to other humans. No one lost their job because they hired an Amazon Echo instead. Prejudice against another, in my opinion, always seems to stem from the loss of some privilege and so those folks tend to project that hate into who they think "stole" their privilege which they viewed as a right. So instead of being equal, they view the "other" group as being raised on a pedestal or sometimes even worse thinking they were knocked down further by those on the pedestal.
So cyberpunk I think is still gonna be accurate in the end. It's just comparing two ridiculously different things. Amazon Echo is not an fully functioning being.
Honestly to me that’s the real crazy thing of the culture and system that’s getting so frustrating. The work to survive is a product of a society that needed things to be done to make things move forward. If we figure out a way to say eliminate 99.9% of the need for work, are we going to turn things into say like many dystopia views, like the episode of black mirror where people were “working” by peddling on a bike, or the Jetsons where he sits around pushing the same button for hours.
Androids to me seem… meaningless for taking actual jobs. Most jobs don’t need sentience or personality, they require the ability to follow instructions, do tasks and in some cases solve problems. The robots that will be mining rare earth minerals, or assembling chips etc… shouldn’t have any sentience or even need to communicate in complex ways.
IMO by the time thinking communicating androids are out… there won’t be much real need for regular labor. 90% of Jobs will either be silly artificial tasks as pointless as bitcoin mining, or working will become something for a tiny handful of people.
I think many math from people generally suggest guys get about 0 to 1 matches per day on median. Though, average is much much higher because top very small percentage of men get a crap ton, even more so than top girls. Whereas girls usually get in teens per day for median.
It’s because they have too many people messaging them. They can’t keep up. They end up being selective once again among the people who did match and invest their time into few while ghosting the rest.
Yeah, I know, still sucks. The current numbers I heard for tinder was 25% women, 75% men. The amount of likes a day the average woman gets must be exhausting. Online dating is just awful now.
I own this game. I really wanna like it. It’s beautiful! My issue is that every time I sit down to play it, I feel like the game is 95% dialogue, 3% walking around town, and 2% action. Every few months I pick it up again, hoping it was only dialogue heavy for the intro. I still haven’t made it out of the starting town, but I’m several hours in at this point. Does it ever let up with the incessant paragraphs of middling exposition?
It is a wordy game throughout, but The action does pick up once you leave the underground. Chapters 3-5 are probably where you're doing the most dungeons and missions.
