(No, I don't know the story behind why Pat is wearing clown makeup. He was wearing the wig that you can see to the right in the previously released clip, which I didn't make a post about because I didn't care about the subject matter).
So glad I never once bothered with Game Pass.
"The Xbox Game Pass price hikes are so bad, it literally crashed the membership site due to widespread cancellations"
Pat: "This is so weird. This is like a complete loss of understanding of how, like, a normal person works. Which is appropriate for Microsoft."
Pat, dude, that has been the case since at least 2013, back when Microsoft was trying (and failing miserably) to hype up that piece of dogshit X-Box One (or X-Bone, as I call it). So... damn straight it is "appropriate for Microsoft."
Sony's going to get so shitty when the X-Box dies, Pat? Are you saying that Sony isn't already shitty? Granted, Sony can certainly become way worse than they already are, once their only real competition, such as it is, finally gives up and quits.
Concerning AI in general, here is another Pat quote: "Hey, listen, man. Listen. Listen, Woolie. Woolie, listen, I need five hundred billion dollars in order to finish the 'puts everybody out of work' machine, so that they can all spend more money than exists in the world in a single year on it. Like, how is the... how am I supposed to make a trillion dollars on the 'puts everybody out of work' machine, without you giving me five hundred billion dollars right now?"
And Woolie talking about Zelda Williams asking people to stop sending her videos of AI Robin Williams is sad.
From the article:
"To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening," she continued.
"You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross."
She concluded: "And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future,' AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."
