I don't have time to bother with any of this when the USA is literally turning into Nazi Germany. This kind of thing is the least of my worries. I'll worry about this stuff when your skin color being too dark doesn't put you at risk of being disappeared off the streets any more.

Weird, Google search with uBlock origin has always been great for me.

If you continue going to the buffet with shit, that's on you. There are plenty of them without shit. You're just a vegan luddite at this point. You don't wanna eat animals, so you expect everyone around you to also not eat animals because it's against your beliefs.

Sorry. Not how the world works. AI is here to stay because it's useful to people. Whine and bitch and moan all you want, it's not going away.

You have the ability to choose an insurance company that doesn't use those things. Hell, you even have the ability to self-insure in most states with enough collateral. Nothing is being forced on you. Hell - you EVEN have the ability to hire an in-person insurance agent -- did you know that?

Sure, it's not as cheap - but you've always been able to do this. You are not being forced like you claim, your own ignorance is what betrays you to the options you have available.

And what other people do with their ingestion of AI is their business, not yours.

Without AI, all of the things you say they are doing WITH AI were already possible. They could ALREADY spy on employees. They could ALREADY lie and manipulate people. All AI does is make it happen on a wider scale.

So instead of attacking "AI" "AI" "AI"...why not attack the things that are being done wrong, rather than the fact that it's AI?

Nobody is forcing you to do anything by their use of AI. You don't have a right to TikTok not having things made with AI because you have the freedom to simply not use TikTok. Just as an example.

Lossless Scaling (on Steam) has also shown HUGE promise from a 2-GPU standpoint as well. I've seen some impressive results from people piping their NVidia cards, into an Intel GPU (on-die or discreet) and using a dedicated GPU for the upscaling as well.

The team behind PoE isn't expecting the game to be 24/7 grindfest that you never stop playing. They want it to be Patch Release -> 2 months of players interested -> Falloff -> Patch Release.

They said they are fine with this, and expect other people to play other games.

I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that putting 24G of VRAM on a card isn't happening because they don't want people using AI models locally. The moment you can expect the modern gamers computer to have that kind of local computing power - is the moment they stop getting to slurp up all of your data.

No, because you use the uppermost-bound of the statement. Your opinion doesn't take precident as the opinion above it (polluting the river) already violates the rights of others. Your opinion literally is the same as mine. That the person polluting the river (their opinion being they can) - shouldn't be able to use that opinion to affect others. You're saying the same as I am, but focused on the wrong part.

Like with religion -- You're free to believe whatever you want to believe. That you're not allowed to have abortions, etc.

But the moment YOUR belief, says that I can't have an abortion, is when it becomes invalid, because it's not MY belief. I don't have to abide by YOUR belief/opinion on the matter. Your opinions don't dictate my actions.

Now, you can control your actions - by, say - not buying from me. You control your actions, so while you can't force companies not to AI, there's nothing forcing you to buy from them when you are aware of its use. You can't stop them from using it because you don't like it though. Your opinion of it being good/bad, or if they can/should/shouldn't use it matters absolutely none.
