The company isn't going to learn the lesson. If you don't buy the game, the company concludes they don't need you when they can sell exclusively to impressionable children and potential gambling addicts, or that the problem is clearly that the franchise is no longer viable and they kill it and make another game with lootboxes and microtransactions.

2016 was the first time I voted and the Democrats win the popular vote.

Clearly my vote didn't actually matter

They're right.

Capitalist Democracies, especially the US, is designed to make voting as difficult for non-white non-rich people as possible and heavily inefficient Voter turnout and tallies that aren't straight up stolen by registration bamboozling like in GA or straight up election fraud here in NC are skewed thanks to the various FPP/gerrymandering/EC methods for assigning winners, which results absurd nonrepresentational congresses and President.

I just want to know when porn producers will start 3D mapping these girls for a few $100 and then start producing thousands of “deep fake” videos, nuking the industry and finally removing any human element

Congressional districts and the Senate may as well be fundamentally designed from the ground up to weigh white voters substantially more heavily than minority voters.

The Constitution is a dumpster fire.

UFC president Dana White was giving a tour of his office on some show and the host asked about the fully intact sabertoothed tiger skull he had on display. White calmly explained that he got it in 09 when the museums were hurting for money after the crash and had to auction some of their stuff off. He said he loves it and is gonna keep it until the day he dies. Very cool.

the only thing that will actually change things is building dual power, community organizing, and/or direct anti-capitalist action. If voting actually worked they wouldn't let you vote. You can't vote away gerrymandering and bazillion dollar dark money ads.

as in making fakes or as in 3d mapping?

Hell once you have a library of "sex animations" you don't even need to pay someone for that, just mix a bunch of them from your library and there you go, new porno movie / VR / whatever.

Shame Boy posted:

They're 3D mapping them and then using the 3D model for VR porn, I don't think anyone's done deep fakes yet but you don't exactly have to once you have a 3D model - just give someone five bucks to get in a mocap suit and make blowjob motions

There's a marketing agency trying to upset the whole 'influencer' market by using computer generated models.

The following are 3d renders from said company:

I left my lovely job and have been looking for a new job. had a company say they liked my resume (for a specific skillset I’ve been doing for a decade now) and wanted me to come in for an interview, I said great and showed up 15 minutes before noon.

they leave me hanging for nearly an hour on a really uncomfortable stool before bringing me in. they look at my resume and portfolio, asked why I wanted to come in. which is weird since, they asked me to come in. Turns out the job is an entry level poo poo role has nothing to do with my skillset.

“well, do you need a *so and so*”

“no, but uh, thank you for your time,” so I immediately get up and start walking out. and this jackass is like, “you’re not even going to shake my hand?” I loving dead eye stared them right in the eye and told them to gently caress off. and then they start following me out yelling at me, “professionalism man, you’ve ever heard of it?”

These loving people man, corporate culture is so loving obscene. You ask me to come all the way out to interview for a job that has nothing to do with my loving resume, leave me hanging for an hour, and then want to loving snap at me about loving “professionalism?” All this poo poo about corporate culture and whatever is just an excuse to poo poo all over working people and tell them it’s hail.

Goddamn it felt good to snap back at these assholes for once.

I don't get the reasoning here. Surely chasing after people who are not going to sign up is just a waste of time for everybody involved? Or are they counting on some kind of return coupon psychology, making you regret all the time you've spent filling forms so you might as well downgrade your life to not have that effort go to waste?

Shame Boy posted:

I should qualify that: no porn company is using deep fakes yet that I know of. However, Reddit, being entirely perverts, naturally already has several subreddits where they deep fake various famous people or their friends and family or whatever into pornos.

The last time this came up I was talking to my friend about it and he was like "oh god I bet they do it to kids too" and I checked one and like the top post was someone doing it to an underage game of thrones character, because Reddit
