At some point there will be a convergence of several key technologies and VR will never be the same.
I think AI assistants will soon be possible with text generation, not true AI, but an illusion. The real issue is creating the illusion of emotion and spontaneity that a real sentient being would have. And of course general memory, and price of hardware.
There are many paths to take. Truly I say to you, the field is wide open.
If the vtuber fans are smart they will be backing up and hoarding every single millisecond of video and audio and every twitter post and every comment, every single datapoint. Forget cryo, computers will be the new resurrection, as long as you have the data. And the more data you have the more precise and "real". The NSA is in an envious position because they can spy on anyone willy nilly.
For myself I think it’s too late. I would rather explore the limitless mind and be free of playing by this world’s rules, where there is no sadness and unhappiness. Where you can see things from the past in the present as they used to be. We already do it unconsciously when we dream at night it’s only a matter of regaining control.

DEFCON 3 : US-based doujin site, pururin.to, was seized by the Feds. This is a fairly significant event. The obscenity laws surrounding drawings have largely been unenforced at the Federal level.

The banner itself claims that this was done on the grounds of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1466A and 1467; per the banner itself, "It is unlawful to produce, distribute, receive, or possess an obscene visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Individuals who do so can face significant criminal and civil penalties, including imprisonment, fines, and forfeiture of property."

But... The banner also shows the seal of the Intellectual Property Rights Center, which is suggestive of this being brought by foreign rights holders claiming copyright infringement, but then pururin being seized and prosecuted under obscenity law. Sites being seized for obscenity are typically done by the FBI, whose seal is conspicuously missing in this case.

It's funny how Oshi no Ko seems to have forgotten that Ruby existed, which is kind of good. But, I feel like Kana isn't getting enough focus. I think it's obvious to everyone that she's the best character.
When Kana isn't on screen the other characters should say "Hey, where's Kana?"

I don't know much about the subject but it seems that the microbes in different people's gut reacts differently to different food. So it's not a matter of people who eat sh*t having sh*t brains.

Having said that, they probably do but not for that reason. Correlation does not mean causation. Lower socio-economic background 'people' eat bad food but they also treat themselves terribly in general so there is a lot that could contribute to it.

The people playing Factorio and Dragon Ball Daima reminded me that I've been sitting on Dragon Quest Builders 2 for a while now, so now is the perfect time to play. It's like Minecraft or Terraria, although I never really liked Minecraft.
I really like how there's a few different worlds and there's a goal and set of buildings to go along with it. In this first world it's a poison swamp and the goal is to create fields and establish a farm. There's a "blueprint" system where you need to place certain objects at certain spots to build larger things and I thought that was a really cool system in the first one.
Nice, relaxing game with the typical Dragon Quest charm.

Has the internet been a net benefit for society? Going by the access it gives us to all information, it could seem so on a technical level. However, with so much information out there it's impossible for a normal human to sort through, and as such many rely on small feeds to get their information that motivates them most emotionally. This stewing of outrage culture seems like it's lead to perpetuating and even stoking more violence and hatred.

On the other hand, the vast sea of information has also given opportunity for those in research to collaborate and build off each others work at lightning speed, and even help to raise new generations on material that teaches them well. Not to mention the entirety of github. In my own personal experience I feel as though I've learned to connect better with others through my use of the internet.

Anon is right, it made the web worse.
Now they secretly track us anyways while pretending not to, but we also have to deal with annoying popups.

>>135113
The worst part is 90% of them aren't even compliant and still break the law they're pretending to follow. You are required to make an incredibly easy to click reject all without having to open any extra menus or click anything extra and the agree button should not use dark patterns to make you think it's the reject button. Regardless, pretty much all websites force you to go through an annoying process so you're more likely to just press click agree to not get incredibly frustrated by a slow declining process. This is knowingly not following the EU regulations on how the banner is required to be and they may as well just not do it at all.

 No.135121

>>135116
I'm not terribly bothered by it, I have never ever found a worthwhile website behind a dark pattern banner. So if I see one at this point I just don't use the website.

Since switching from IT to Dev Manager, I’ve realized the insane amount of bureaucratic processes we have to follow (this is just related to dev performance, I have hundreds of other processes I have to follow daily).

- Monthly self-eval: Devs must submit a detailed monthly self-evaluation
- Manager evaluation: Dev’s manager evaluates them monthly too.
- Weekly team evaluation: Dev's direct manager evaluates the "team" as a single unit every week.
- Quarterly upper management review: The direct manager’s manager steps in every quarter to assess the team as well.
- Each dev's “buddy” (more senior dev they're partnered with) performs a monthly evaluation of their performance too
- TL assesses sprint quality after each sprint.
- TL's manager reviews sprint quality too (non-technical manager)

Now, management expects me to sift through all this data weekly toghether with Jira to identify any "underperformers". They don’t see the redundancy—they just want more.
When I pointed out that the sheer volume of surveys and performance checks is beyond redundant, my manager brushed it off, accusing me of trying to "work less."
In his eyes, productivity means creating more processes. Only colleagues who add extra layers of bureaucracy get rewarded, never those who streamline.
Am I being a baby?
Feeling disillusioned... Is this really what management is supposed to be?
Because if so, I’m tempted to just go wild creating even more pointless processes—like they seem to want—and drown everyone in surveys and meaningless reports.

That sounds like some strait up East German or Elan School petty control.

That's what I always do because I know for a fact that salary reviews are directly linked to these scores. I also know for sure that my manager never gives me full marks, no matter what because "nobody is perfect"

I'm reading through Uta 2 and 3 again with someone else in the VN thread planning to read it soon, so I think Utawarerumono deserves its own thread again! I did manage to take two previous Utawarerumono /qa/ threads to bump limit back when Season 3 of the anime was airing back in 2022 so let's go for a third!

In the pic I posted there the girls on the side are obviously meant to be Touka and Karura, but it's strange. They look so young, so when is this going to take place? Is it maybe going to skip around in the timeline to show different moments? It's weird to see them drawn in such a different style, but the huge image gallery of 3 360p images mentions that there was an OP video so I guess that would align. I hope the OP video is uploaded soon!

>Additionally, it was announced that development has resumed on the project "Jasmine," which had been previously announced as canceled in 2015.

I wonder if this means a true VN sequel that moves the story forward. The producer up there said this Path to White game is the culmination of Utawarerumono, so that's a weird thing to say if they're already working on something else. But, I guess it could be the culmination of the current Utawarerumono story.

OP trailer from someone recording it in the audience! It's unlikely this won't be directly uploaded soon, but for those like me that couldn't wait.
Peculiar that it's showing the "creation" of Mutsumi at 2:06 with the brain in the jar and it's tying it to Monochrome Mobius stuff.
I want to wait to see a higher quality online video before I comment on anything else, although with presumably few (if any) people here having played Monochrome Mobius I won't say much. I was never able to finish it because my computer started having issues with it for some reason, so I need to go back and play it soon. I heard they nerfed the difficulty, though, which is a bummer. I liked that it was quite frustratingly difficult at times.

Is pleasure real or is it merely imaginary? We've often heard of material pleasures, bodily pleasures, etc., but as far as we are capable of knowing, it might not necessarily be anything but a mental phenomenon.
What if pleasure is just a meme? What if enjoyment does not exist? What if it's all mere poetic fancy, constituting nothing but decoration in art, pure artifice born from the inside of creative organ?
But if people do strongly enough believe in it and bring out works of art that represent this ideal very much in accordance to what they believe it is meant to be, then can it be said to come into being, or does it remain trapped on a canvas or on a piece of paper? If Man attributes the qualities of beauty, grace, harmony, balance to real objects that were created by nature, do those qualities indeed objectively typify them, or are they only assignations describing a subjective judgement, a mere product of circumstantial associations?

The World might not be objectively beautiful, but it is not objectively ugly.
