A few were there, there was also a meeting that night for one of the committees so a few of those folks wandered in for a little bit. It’s mostly an older crowd so they didn’t seem too interested.

For the past 2 weeks I actually have been bringing in my laptop and setting up trivia from crowdparty.app and putting it on the big tv before bingo since people get there about 2 hours early to claim their spots. I usually hangout for an hour or so and get a few people to play but not a lot. They did announce the game night at the last bingo night. I also have jackbox survey scramble that I haven’t tried with them yet but I think a few of them might like. The issue with bingo night is that they also sell raffle tickets and go several rounds of doing that so people are more focused on dealing with that and socializing.

It’s the American Legion and yeah the commander helped me set it all up. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of very active members. The only thing they really have going on is bingo, which draws a pretty big crowd. Unfortunately the other nights are completely dead in there.

Yes there’s three other locations in that area including one on campus but I’m starting it off at my location as a proof of concept with the hopes of building a wider video gaming community around the whole state/country. It’s a veterans organization and the thinking is that video gaming can help with ptsd and isolation.

I think I’m going to push pacman tournament this week since that seemed to be a hit with the older crowd. It’s pacman championship edition dx+ so I think is more accessible than other pacman editions.

I just mostly brought party games with me since it’s the first time. Like codenames, Uno flip, flip 7, coup, fuse, and also some decks of cards and a cribbage board in case anybody older showed up. As far as video games, pretty much same with some jackbox games, packman dx+, but if someone wanted to they could play fortnite or rocket league I put a bunch of games on there. I figured I would let the players set the tone for what they wanted to play and we would just provide the space and let it develop it’s own culture over time. I did have the idea to have themes like spooky games for the month of October and like I said maybe have a tournament once a month or something like that.

Here’s is the flyer minus the address and location.

It’s a large veterans organization. Also sadly there’s is no public transportation off of campus, especially not out here. I will try to get some flyers printed and see if I can get them put up in town. I think campus is too far out there for students to come.

No I didn’t use ai as I myself scroll past those kinds of flyers. I did use a Canva template and made sure to put times, dates, and location on it. It was a very straightforward flyer. I advertised board, card, and video games abd brought my gaming pc with me. I did have a few of the older folks that were there playing pacman though. They were there for a meeting anyway and didn’t come just for game night.

It’s true and they have their own gaming clubs for board games and an E-sports team. I didn’t expect any students to come but ‘townies’ often use the subreddit for the college and there’s Facebook groups for gaming in that town for regular folks.

AGI will still be six months away. There will be ai specific chips with the model baked into them like what is being developed right now so you won’t need excessive amounts of ram to run it. People will have stopped learning to code so coding languages will no longer be developed or there will be ai specific coding language or the ai will use assembly language for better efficiency. It will remain mostly useless to the average person but it will continue to be used to influence peoples beliefs and spread misinformation. College degrees will be completely irrelevant and we’ll have to have some kind of different way to judge people’s ability. We’ll probably use ai to test that.

In no particular order, Vivaldi, ironfox , duck duck go, librewolf, Firefox, chromium. All for different reasons and things.

Where are you getting ads? I have it all blocked everywhere.

I expect more power efficient chips that are ai specific to come out in the next few years. Eventually you’ll be able to run good models on your phone. Not sure about ram requirements or anything like that if the model could be shrunk down somehow. There’s definitely huge gains in optimizing efficiency to be had. Right now is the equivalent of an old IBM mainframe trying to do a spreadsheet. We might even giggle at the thought of gigabytes of ram in the future with having multiple terabytes as standard on personal devices.

It would wildly fuck with enterprise systems because you would have to have a way to verify age for the users of EVERY system. The way it is now you would have to verify the age of users of iot and smart devices. You have to have id to turn on your lights or use the refrigerator.

Prices went up due to tariffs and never went back down

You’re right $80usd plus tax, I’ll go ahead and say $100

I went ahead and just said $250 - $500 for controls and nothing else.
