As an early adopter of the very first Rift, honestly the technology was already in sci-fi territory from the first model but consumers didn't seem to care. The consensus seemed to be that it would need to be cheap, better and run standalone without the need for a high end PC, but now all those things are true and there's still zero adoption. Even Apple's AR/VR offering was just memed on for a bit but never became a desirable piece of luxury tech. What gives?/adg/ - API Diffusion GeneralDiscussion of API Diffusion Models

They have greatly increased the production of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made art trashy slop, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (except the Third World) and have inflicted severe damage on the creative human spirit. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the creative human spirit, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries. AI technology may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the AI technology survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the AI technology so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy. If the AI technology breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the AI technology grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later. It is widely estimated that the Internet will consist of at least 90% of content created by AI technology by no later than the year 2030 and that is the absolute optimistic prediction. The solution is unknown.No titleWifi issues still exist in LinuxNo titleThe fuck is this shit?No titlenow that the dust has settled, was he right?C will live forever>be C >50+ years old, still runs the world >writes kernels, compilers, bootloaders, firmware, you name it >gives you raw memory access because you're not a child >Rust devs cry when the borrow checker yells at them >"safe" languages need training wheels and a PhD to compile Hello World >I just malloc, memcpy, and free like a real man >Rust devs measure compile times in geological epochs >still faster, smaller, and leaner than your entire cargo project >mfw your “modern” language is just a C wrapper with extra stepsNo titlewhy do Linux users enjoy using a limited OS with barebone features and no support?No titleIf you are an American go to myactivity.google.comNo titleHow much are you willing to pay for AI monthly?No titleAI can't even beat Pokemon Red/Blue and you are telling me its taking over the world and making us jobless?

Now we all know that spammers haven't been beat yet, and maybe the way the fucking eck faggot and the other botters are doing is by stealing authentication from other posters. that way they never have to wait for the 15 minute post limit and it makes it seem less obvious who is behind the spamming
So what do you guys think, is 4chan backdoored by skiddies, or are hiros databases so broken that entire posts just vanish despite being successfully submitted.
