A thousand times this. I'm hesitant to use ChatGPT whenever I really want the information to be correct. It's fine for getting a general outline of an historic event, for example, but not for getting the exact year and date of sai

I think about these tools upping the lower threshold of what is an acceptable entry level for creatives. Being decent isn't going to be good enough to be hired, because if you settle for decent, an AI powered tool can do it for you. An

Yeah. Bad guy mounted thrusters on large asteroids from the belts. Not technically meteors, but close enough. Neat sci-fi.

That's interesting. Wouldn't it lead to paradoxes where enemy units are shown at multiple places at once, observed from different frames of reference? Would be incredibly confusing, but confusing games can be fun too. EDIT: Also i

Wouldn't that be incredibly hard, considering that the players perspective is disconnected from the units? I observe my base and order a group of units to go to some place on the minimap. I see them moving along on their way, and decid

The problem is that society is already used to, and largely bored by, VR. For most consumers this will just appear as the latest and greatest in what is ultimately a meh novelty. With a prohibitively huge price tag to boot. There will absol

Hasn't there always been a fraction of intellectuals that question any departure from "base reality"? I wouldn't be surprised if cave painters caught the odd side-eye from the old guard of the tribe. Maybe this time it&#

I like the idea of IKEA furniture being frames for further customization. Since their furniture is so ubiquitous, it's like a common touch point for modders and DIY'ers. I've used Bemz[0] custom upholstery for their couches b

That's an interesting take! I'm always fascinated by the camera work in Succession. How the camera is most often positioned as a physical observer. The casual angles that are sometimes obscured or intentionally poorly framed. Prob

How can a redirection take minutes?! And do you at least get some relaxing elevator music for you to remain calm while watching your house burn down?

It's a really overloaded term these days. In some cases it's also used as a synonym for document DB's or K/V stores. Best way to read it nowadays is probably "not like the popular DB's of the 90's".

Ironically enough I'd say extremely old-school imperative code has made a large impact for me. I've learnt OOP and to some extent FP as my default. Doing some OpenGL and other rendering stuff was refreshing and allowed me to explo

I might be missing something, but this feels like a nothingburger to me. Obviously our understanding, reasoning and perception of reality is a kaleidoscope of memories and previous perceptions. We couldn't ever "manually" or

The later GTA games include an extended universe of corporate satire, and one of the subjects is IKEA. The fictitious KRAPEA has one of the most hilarious in-game websites in GTA:IV [1]. The store layout is described as a "maze of pos

What if a ruling requires information held by someone else? Should the case just be dismissed because of lack of evidence? Having a functional justice system is probably worth some snags. The legal cost aspect is unfortunate. However, as o

The court decides whether a subpoena should be upheld or not. If the judge has signed off on this one, then it's all legit. Failing to comply would be contempt of court.

I think your are right about society adapting to this tech, and I don't think these AI technologies can or should be contained. But. The Photoshop argument is a bit tiresome. AI will bring about a fundamental shift in content creation

I used to maintain the Chromecast app of a decently sized streaming company for years, and oh boy. I damn near lost my sanity working on that thing. The app was broken repeatedly by silent firmware/OS updates pushed from Google, and tr

Nowadays you just take any remotely related word and add "ly" or "ify" at the end. Much more consistent!

Yes, you are part of the problem. But you are also a victim to the problem. You can only expect so much individual resistance against conveniences that are being launched into your brain by massive industries. Succumbing to these convenienc

What you are saying is that the "artist" whose account the cleaned money goes to has to be in on it? I.e. no identity theft or bank account hijacking?

I commend your bravery, sir. HFHT sounds like an extremely perilous activity. I'm pruning up and short-circuit just thinking about it. The MBA surviving that is quite impressive!
