Some disks don't even contain the game, they're basically big circular CD key, it's really stupid.

You have to live in reality idk what to say, if black people commit more crime in an area I want to have that information so I can figure out why so I can prevent it (outreach programs specifically targeted at black kids for instance), if you say it as a dogwhistle to other racists that's a different story.

I think genZ is absolutely cooked for different reasons (AI, social media, tiktok, covid lockdowns during a critical part of development) and I wouldn't be surprised if they're also an at-risk group to scams.

If your goal is to dogwhisle or denigrate based on identity then yes that's wrong, but old people are the majority of the voting block and they majority voted for Trump. Saying "old people are racist and closed-minded" is false. Saying "old people are NOT racist and closed-minded" is even more false.

All groupings are arbitrary, it just (sometimes) provides utility to group on some shared attributes. It would be more accurate to say boomers trust ai more, not because they're necessarily stupider (though lead poisoning was extremely common through leaded gasoline), but being older does mean you had less access to multiculturalism, less inundation with scams and technology growing up, and more propaganda that is harder to find counterpoints to.

It's fully accurate to say "older people generally are more close-minded and trust AI more" without that being an attack on any particular old person. That's a reality old people and young people need to be aware of, whether it's for an older person to reflect if that's happening to them, or a younger person to help an older person with.

Older people aren't stupid and awful, they are just generally more set in their ways, and factually ARE more vulnerable to misinformation and lies, which is why they're the most vulnerable to scams.

The previous generation, at least in America, was far more repressed and had far less access to information than we do today, which results in more narrow-minded beliefs. Not all old people are like this, but the comment you're talking about said "old people don't trust ai" which is not true. Old people as a group do, this person as an individual in that group does not.

This feels like a schizopost but it's pretty accurate

Lemmy compared to reddit is a great example of this

I have clicked not interested on some vinny vinesauce channel about 200 times, and eventually started clicking don't recommend channel.

Now I get recommended "Vinny vinesauce clips" don't recommend channel "Vinny vinesauce best moments" don't recommend channel "Vinny vinescause..." im going to lose my mind

I mean, I would vastly prefer your solution, but it's much more difficult to step in and police every social media company such that they aren't working against the user. This is basically a band aid, but a band aid is better than nothing imo

Dying is not a requirement to not pass on genes, and a huge percentage of the population is susceptible to mental illness based on stress or another trigger. If this person was abused growing up that may have caused a mental illness they would have never had in a healthy family. Someone living with mental illness is hard enough, we don't need gaslighting lying chatbots making it worse.

I think people forget a lot of the people who work on it are still super passionate people so it's still gonna be good.
