Hell, I was decent at spotting AI gen content 1-2 years ago, but nowadays I get constantly fooled if I am just casually browsing. (Except electronics BS ai-gen tutorial websites that are generated for nearly every subset and are always the same garbage look and pop ups)

AI is dangerous. Curious that it is being pushed so hard by the Epstein class billionaires right when they are being exposed.

I've already replaced lutris with Heroic launcher + proton and wine-ge a year ago.

Lutris install script already didn't work >50% of the time for me and battle.net always completely corrupts and messes up after a time on lutris and I have to reinstall it every few months, but has been going a year strong on heroic.

You can also always look at the lutris install scripts and install those components in heroic via winetricks. They were made by the community anyway.

It often doesn't really. It misses a ton and fills in the gaps itself. It is aimilar with multitasking in that it is really just fast task switching and filling the gaps.

I maan, there are dedinitely people that specifically train to speed read or listen, but i would be interested to have people speed read/listen short novels or so and check for comprehension after the fact.

What kind of alternative are you searching for? What feature set do you want?

There are a few things like Bottles, Heroic, gamehub, playonlinux, etc...

You're right, we don't live in a utopia, so do you actually think the governments (since all governments seem to be doing some form of this) will not simply allow bots (bots are from companies, and neo-liberal governments will twist themselves into an inter dimensional pretzel if it pleases megacorps), foreign intervention (having a valid foreign ID doesn't atop people from astroturfing), etc?

They have more than a dozen ways to combat misinformation already and they actively choose not to use any of them at all because it meets their goals.

Do you think normal people will be able to access the IDs of anyone to see if they are astroturfing and spreading misinformation? Literally a 0.001% chance of that happening.

Literally the only thing that will happen is that normal people get tracked to hell and back and when the authoritarians manufacture enough consent to take power, it will immediately be used to dispose of their dissidents. Only bad comes from this because the democratic or socialist cleaning governments don't have the spine to actually use it against the billionaire class.

Never send sms's or call on that flip phone though because you might as well be posting all of it on Facebook with how easily it can be read. Your carrier logs every text sent in plaintext.

Zach Freedman always has quite thouroughly thought out videos. Not always interesting for me personally, but quite a few bangers.

And he launched Gridfinity into the ecosystem it is today.
