I also thought this was a pinball machine.

I don't get this post!

I miss the old Steam visuals.

How dystopian, you mean. Companies will try to replace as many jobs as possible with AI, meaning everything gets considerably worse in quality and reliability, and there won't be any new jobs to replace the old ones, leading to drastic unemployment everywhere. The only ones they won't be able to replace are the jobs that actively destroy your body from doing them. Every mainstream social media will be flooded with shitty AIs pretending to be human, so people don't form any real connections and are easier to manipulate via tweaking their AI "friends" a bit. Any government that doesn't pass Anti-AI laws will find their bureaucracy jammed by a glut of AI generated proposals. Legal trials will become a sham as any evidence you need can just be generated, no need for the truth. Our current actors will be turned into AI versions, and then every movie created by that company forevermore will use only those AIs because it's cheaper. The education system is already being completely circumvented by people generating answers to their work, so they don't learn anything. Neither humans nor AIs are ready for how hard they're trying to shove this stuff into everything.

Probably the same ratio as unicorns to leprechauns.

Thefting...

I second this

You drink a soup, and you eat a stew.

Except... We are punishing Russians? That's half the point of sanctions, causing economic pain to the people in order to (hopefully) compel the government of said people to play nice.

On the one hand, I want to have sympathy for the suffering of my American neighbours.

On the other hand, you dumbfucks let THAT guy get into power... TWICE! I'd be disappointed if it was just the once, but TWICE!? You people saw how bad it was the first time, and voted for another round. Hearts out to the people who are suffering, but clearly this is what the majority of you want, so I can't feel much sympathy anymore.

"Doing something artistic", as if there's anything artistic about shoving a likely lovingly taken picture into one of these slop machines.

Huh, seems my reddit app stopped working at the perfect time. Place will probably end up a shithole soon enough.
