Yeah, I'm just not sure "weak to private equity" is a reasonable metric for which companies should be culled.

I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

Because we don't have enough AI slop clogging everything up already.

Imo, we should just get off the idea that normalizing around "noon" is stupid and everyone adopts UTC.

Who gives a shit if you eat lunch at 0200Z - it's an arbitrary label anyway.

Oh mister fancy pants with his clocks you have to adjust.

Just get a sundial and you don't have to change shit!

In Canada, in December, sunset is around 4:15p.

Why don't you actually learn what you are talking about before being such a prissy little asshat.

And if you live north of the 49th parallel (i.e. every single person in Canada), it gets dark at 4:11p in December.

How does that figure into your anecdote, when every single person that leaves the office at 5:00p gets absolutely no sunlight and is commuting in the dark?

Some people seem to want to have machines that are suited to purpose.

But bad things may happen and we'll just have to be ok with it.

That costs billions of dollars more than firing up 1960s-era crap that already showed itself to be unsafe.

These are the billionaires we are talking about. They won't be downwind when we get TMI 2.0. That's for the plebs.

Using an M4 Pro for local AI, and the thermals register regularly at 99-100C under load. It never goes above, which means it's thermal throttling. You can confirm with all-smi installed from Homebrew.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.

They like it when they are the ones with exclusive access because they feel special.

They don't like it otherwise but rapidly forget they paid to be fucked over.

Go back further and you'll see he wasn't like that until Obama got elected.

Racism broke his brain.
