Since AI content is usually clearly identified as such here, it is very easily blocked.

A social media site that you are not the admin or mod of is definitively not the appropriate place for you to attempt to enforce your opinions of what content is acceptable or not.

Downvote, block, and move on. Time is finite, and you are wasting it trying to police what other people should and shouldn't post in a space where you have no authority.

Edit: To be clear, I agree about the dangers of AI. You might enjoy some of the discussions in Tech Takes on the awful.systems instance.

Original (Cyanide and Happiness):

I've found deeper conversations but they tend to be on super niche topics, and if it's anything you're actually familiar with you'll discover that 90% of the comments are people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about but enjoy presenting as knowledgable.

HackerNews might have more of what you're looking for, but be warned: nearly everyone on that site is in love with the idea that they are intelligent enough to speak authoratatively on all topics (they are definitively not), and the general culture is that the crazy reality distortion zone of the San Francisco Bay Area/working for startups/working for bug names like Google is an accurate reflection of general reality (it is not).

This is also why there was such coordinated effort to shut down wikileaks, or to at least stall out the cultural movement that was building behind it.

If you give people a methodology to whistleblow that at least on paper allows them to stay anonymous and avoid putting their life/livelyhood/survival in jeapordy, that removes one of the biggest disincentives.

Very Perry Bible Fellowship-esque.

The difference between 4chan and Reddit is pretty small

I'm sorry, but I sincerely doubt you've been on 4chan recently.

It was stupidly warm a day or two after Christmas here, and a neighborhood kid got some sort of drone that follows them around. I legitimately thought someone was running an electric weedeater.

I shudder to imagine what the old plan for Amazon delivery drones would have sounded like. You know that fancy gated communities would ban them for noise pollution or something.

Given that this explicitly runs the Shareware release's first mission, you can just record and replay the "winning" keypresses like a tool assisted speedrun, no AI needed. I'm not sure if there's enough randomness in Doom to make killing the first 3 monsters in E1M1 something that could require different inputs due to randomness. My understanding is that Doom's replay system works because entering the same inputs on the same frames results in the same results from RNG every time.

Now if the dev cribbed code from OBLIGE to randomly generate the levels, or even just started from different areas in the levels of Shareware or FreeDoom, we'd have something even better.

I haven't been watching Second Wind since all the drama that Frost unearthed when he left, so I don't know if this is a trend with Yahtzee lately, but did this seem incredibly short to anyone else?

I could have sworn that he usually went into more detail in these year end best/worst/blandest videos. This one barely had a single throwaway joke for each entry.

Returned to Elite Dangerous after an almost two year break. Just casually space trucking to grind out some credits while watching youtube. Once I get enough to outfit one or two new ships, I plan to finally give exploration/exobiology a try, and check out the changes to the engineering grind.

When I last played, I was kind of at the end of what I'd consider "early game", but there are a decent amount of learning cliffs. Should probably practice some of the other low level content again before moving on.

One of my cousins asked for the game for Christmas and I picked it up on sale for him, so I'm hoping we can play some together at some point.
