It was a sarcastic joke (a pretty good one, if you ask me). At this point, it's basically a meme that Nintendo sues anyone who so much as thinks about using their IP without handing over the money. So yeah, even if you legally and officially share the game between your own two Switches, they'll probably still come for you.

That's exactly my case. Since "Never" was an option, I assumed "No" actually meant "Rarely" and voted accordingly. Unfortunately, many others will likely think like you did, skewing the results toward "Sometimes." A well-intended poll with very poorly chosen options.

No wonder about those numbers. Since last week, @MetaAI was added to WhatsApp, and it was "automatically added" to all your groups. Here in Brazil, people use groups for EVERYTHING, from family, to business, to common interests. Right now I am in 49 groups, and I am FAR from a heavy WhatsApp user. Just there, it amounts to an instant 200M user increase.

And people are calling @MetaAI all the time to create realtime memes or to banter playfully with others in the groups. The results are mostly awful, but are amusing; and in the many groups I participate, a lot of people using it due to the novelty and easy of integration. I am a paid user of ChatGPT (which I use everyday), and @MetaAI is still really, really lacking when compared to it. Yet, it's the first time many people are having contact with AI on a day-to-day basis.

With inflated numbers or not, Meta has really put a dent in the AI market with this move. And, even with an awful AI, that's where the money is flowing currently.

I thought it was an intended (and very brilliantly executed) pun!
Kudos to the author for the impeccable writing!

"The health emergency is over, but many people are still weirded out by the idea of putting on a VR headset in public."

I have a friend who is somewhat of a public figure. He is used to being in contact and touching other people he doesn't quite know. Yet, he is very resistant to using a VR headset in public, because he can't read the people's reactions around him. He says he feels like being blindfolded naked in a room with strangers, with people seeing everything you do, while you are exposed there, half immersed in your experience, and half aware of your uncomfortable reality. I can understand that, and maybe quite some people feel the same way.

I don't know about the current crop of flip phones, but back in the 2000s I had the (now iconic) Motorola Razr V3. I flipped open that phone many, many times per day as SMS between friends was all the rage. And not only I did that, I flipped it open with full force, like I was pulling out a flip knife, swinging the screen as hard as I could, because it felt really good to do that on the Razr V3. After years of using that phone, it never showed any signs of bad hinges, it was really well built. Eventually, I replaced it with a more modern Nokia.

Oh my, you chose to use the worst possible word here.
It's accounts all the way down!

"Nvidia acknowledges that the toolkit isn't imperfect..."

So... it's perfect, right?

This one made me really laugh out loud!
Thanks.

I just tried the same Twofer Goofer with Bard.
It didn't even try!

Me: "An aromatic herb colored like an unusual eye hue." in two 5-letter words that rhyme
Bard: Sure, here are two 5-letter words that rhyme with "eye hue herb": marigold, turmeric

Me: No, I need two 5-letter words that rhyme. One is an unusual eye hue. The other is an aromatic herb.
Bard: Oh, I see. In that case, there are no 5-letter words that rhyme with "eye hue" and "aromatic herb".

Me: Give me a 5-letter eye hue that rhymes with another 5-letter aromatic herb.
Bard: There is no such 5-letter eye hue that rhymes with another 5-letter aromatic herb.

Me: No cookie for you Bard.
Bard: I understand that I did not meet your expectations. I will try my best to do better next time.

I got curious and tried today's Twofer Goofer with ChatGPT.
It got the right solution after 5 attempts, and all of the failures were stupid silly!

Me: "An aromatic herb colored like an unusual eye hue." in two 5-letter words that rhyme
Gpt: Blue Rue.

Me: Both words must have 5 letters
Gpt: Oops, my mistake. Let me try again: Sage Haze.

Me: These words have only 4 letters. They must have 5 letters!
Gpt: I apologize for the mistake again. Here's another attempt: Lavender Pupil.

Me: 5 letters ONLY!
Gpt: I apologize for the confusion. Here's another attempt with two 5-letter words: Indigo Fennel.

Me: Indigo has 6 letters!
Gpt: I'm sorry about that, I seem to be making a lot of mistakes with this one! Here's another attempt: Basil Hazel.

Me: Very good!
Gpt: Glad to hear it! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Yeah, I agree.

It's so obviously clear that the way Brazil operates, with ALL of its institutions and ALL its workers tackling the same problem together serially before working on the next one, is very ineffective and leaves the serious issues unattended.

Maybe if they only had specialized institutions and workers that could tackle different problems in different areas in parallel... solving the serious problems wouldn't grind to a halt and the country would be an utopia by now. /s

He was being sarcastic about the parent's post. I guess the joke was up there on mars, while your head was down here on earth... wooosh!

Silly, curious and definitely news for nerds!
Makes me want to fire up the old MSX and code some.

You didn't watch for long enough, did you? You describe the first part of the bending test. It snaps when the guy starts bending in the other direction.

Now that I've pointed out someone is wrong on the internet, I can finally work in peace! =)
