I think the Bayonetta games are really fun and closer to the old school God of War trilogy than the new God of War games. Its a fun hack and slash that you can button mash your way through, but is a lot more fun if at the very least you learn how to dodge offset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=subkGpouSeo

You seem to be taking your position based on how you’d like to see ID verification implementand using that as an argument for it. While I see your argument and it doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t reflect the reality of how governments and corporations are using it.
It’s like you just assume governments and corporations will do what you hope and making statements off that. As if you are the supreme ruler or something where they are going to be guided by your vision. As though you just woke up and thought this could be used to combat LLMs and without any care about whether the government or corporations would do with that info collection just assuming that is what they will do because that’s the idea you are fixated on.
That’s the impression I’m getting from what I’ve read. You have failed to convince me that what you wish will happen will be to the benefit you hope it will be.
It seems crazy to me for journalists to trust machine/AI translated articles enough to use as a source in their own articles.
I’ve always seen them as things to treat as unreliable, but something to use when there’s no other options available and to get a gist of what it might be about.
If using them as citation I’d need a native speaker to confirm content before being confident enough to include it if I were a journalist.
The US government asked for subpoenas of users from reddit. You really trust that ID verification is being pushed to help combat misinformation campaigns? Have you looked at the tech bros that were right next to the US president and all the stock manipulation and financial deals being done? A billionaire created their own private agency with doge with zero consequences.
You seem to be operating on the logic of completely ignoring what is going on in the world to still believe any of these changes are for the good of the people as opposed to control. And to be asking for it when you see who is in charge of the US is really wild.
It seems real strange that you cling to the hope that ID verification requirements is going to lead to changes you wish it would when current events suggest the opposite with the US government themselves spreading AI generated misinformation. And that convinces you to hand over more stuff because you are imagining how you would use it while ignoring how the government likely plans to use it based on current events?
Yep, I have a T480s and been happy with it. My next laptop upgrade will be a T14 amd variant.
When something used to not be required shifts to now being asked of by even nonessential sites to more easily link to an actual ID I’m not as open to just handing it over as you are.
Your line of thinking falls along the lines of people who chose to verify with discord, so nothing is really an issue to you. So trying to convince people like me to fall into your line of thinking is going to take more effort.
Palantir is a corporation and independent entity after all. And non profit isn’t some bullet proof protection.
I don’t understand either. Part of it is because I grew up playing games so the fascade of intelligenc and self awareness fell apart for me quickly.
You’d think newer generations would be less fooled by it, but maybe it is due to a shift from story driven games to more live service sandboxes that led to less encounters with NPCs and their scripted conversations.
So being able to get a token without even the government knowing?
Because if it’s the alternative of the government itself issuing the token and it being only the receiving site not knowing, but the government being able to link it back to you I wouldn’t be happy with that either.
I’d prefer it to be as trackable as knowing which specific alcohol bottle you bought. So other than showing ID to a store to get a random token nobody in theory would know who the token belongs to including the government.
Age verification if intent was to make it not tied to real ID would be a system where you could go into any store and buy a card you can scratch off for a code to put in.
But, governments want to track and get rid of anonymous accounts. They don’t actually care about age requirements. They want a 1984 type control of citizens to know what they are thinking or at the very least scare off people from expressing thoughts like politicians should be held accountable for fear of current or future consequences from a government that may decide it is treasonous.
You need to trust your government or trust it to not turn evil to be willing to see them take on the task of knowing every single online account you use. And hope whoever comes into power doesn’t find comments you made in a past a threat that it wasn’t before. Like something as benign as the belief politicians should be held accountable could be flagged as treasonous for daring to question the government’s credibility.
Which is the real goal of online verification. Police citizens and eventually kill off or curb sharing of thoughts and ideas for fear of current or future retaliation depending on who comes into power. Automated flagging of potential abnormals based on profiles generated from linked citizen online accounts is the end game.
The idea that this would help stop malicious foreign actors itself seems like yet another false belief that this type of system would be used for the good of citizens as opposed to tracking and move towards Big Brother.
Yep, and used in this case is much better than the new cheap laptops with crappy specs.
Better to get a used Thinkpad with how well those hold up being over thousand dollars, but get discounted steeply to hundreds with companies offloading them once warranty is up. Can get actual nice Ryzen CPUs and have a proper storage.
When I tried it on my switch, gyro was broken when playing with a controller with no way to turn it off. So if emulator doesn’t have bugs then it’d be better for that reason too.
