My dog has been known to be more perceptive and cunning than humans at times (including me), so I'd have to say yes. It ultimately depends on the breed, upbringing, the dog's individual personality, and so on. Generally speaking h

I think it's going to be possible for solo developers to create what we now consider to be AAA-quality games in the not too distant future. It seems absurd, but not so much when you start looking at the implications of applying AI like

Not saying it'll be commonplace by then, just that the technology will probably exist. As I understand it today, Neuralink already has a surgical robot that can thread electrodes in between individual neurons with minimal damage.

I suspect in about 20-30 years that method will be considered antiquated, and brain implants with direct access to the user's visual cortex will be far more sensible for that kind of thing.

As far as keeping focus, I've heard a few freelancing visual effects artists claim that bouncing to the next project as soon as they're stuck or bored on one is something that works for them. You have to build in time up front to

Note that this post is #317. The Factorio team has the best development blog on the planet in my opinion. I'm just awestruck every time I stop and think about the fact they've written over three hundred of these in-depth articles,

Last I checked NSA had spent 10 mil on an ops center modeled after a Star Trek bridge, so frankly I'd be disappointed if they didn't also have a precog-themed room. I just hope it's complete with a cool spatial future UI.
