Nah, maybe I'm just a boomer, but I love this kind of forum style. Keeps my focus on a single post at a time and discourages gif spam. It's a slower style for sure, but I'm into that

Bumping this suggestion

Just wanted to start this thread for any interesting tech news people are finding or want to chat about! I'll start: https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-invest-1-billion-uk-data-centre-2024-01-18/ Definitely a ton of money being invested into the UK lately for datacenters. $1bil by Google (near-immediately) and $2.5bil by Microsoft to be invested over 3 years. We're seeing big moves quick for AI development.

I'd disagree unfortunately (with the making us more sociable part) :(. Part of the issue with lonliness imo is that there are way too many short term & low effort ways to "not feel lonely" which aren't sustainable. I'd say some of the biggest culprits right now are things like: chatting with someone random on the internet that you don't establish a resilient connection with (prone to an internet friend abandoning an account or quitting a game/community), watching streamers you never actually get to know, and getting that next dopamine hit from the quick-paced nature of the internet. There are healthy ways to balance all the tech's above with your day to day life, but I don't trust most people to do that... I feel like AI is just going to make all of the above much easier to indulge in while shoring up any concerns about sustainability (since it's literally programmed not to leave and be available 24/7...) The biggest positive I'd say though is that AI/Haptic feedback will allow for more "real" interactions with people across the world in VR. This way you can hug and interact with family from a country apart or even meet randos at very little risk to yourself.

What are your favorite games to play with others? I've quit LoL with friends for about 4 years now and since then, I've picked up RoR2/Elden Ring as my main favorites. Also been playing a bit of Lethal Company and Phasmaphobia here and there. What games do you all regularly play?

I'm interested in how VR/AR plays together with AI for physics simulation moving forward. Esp once we get better forms of haptic feedback and the ability to simulate weight. I'm equal parts excited and concerned though, there will be a ton of social consequences to our reliance on incoming technology. I don't see us handling it very responsibly, so unemployment is probably going to shoot up, and we'll likely see a lot more people that are useless without consulting AI... I'm also very very concerned about AI companionship due to an uptick in loneliness

Please add a toggle to turn off notifications for comment replies. It appears to be the one notification setting that we can't toggle currently. It can get a bit annoying at times especially if I see 5 notifications of someone replying "T" "H" "A" "N" "K" to my comment for their daily karma 🙃 P.S. Any updates on that thank you button instead of the "Thank you" chapter karma spam?
