Editor/Copywriter. "Good enough" is perfect when it'll only get a fraction of second of brain time. LLMs are already laying waste to marketing departments around the world. It'll write "all" the product copy, just copypasta the user manual with some additional info, like pricing, sales promotions, etc.

Anyone still saying the gains are negligible, has their head firmly planted in the sand, imo. Jobs far below your pay-grade aren't about to be decimated (1/10), no, more hung and quartered (4/10). Anything involving marketing, sales, writing and storytelling in general, a lot less people will be able to make a living from this.

There's going to be a hell of a lot of people out of work soon. We're heading into a employers market, a long one. For the first time in my life, I'm feeling the "prepper" vibe. "Shit's about to get very real"...but they've been saying that forever, haven't they?

Wrong fucking game you idiot.

You start with this "Though it's been years since I played TF2, I just love that game." and then continue with "and people started building walls everywhere so the maps were useless and unplayable. The teleporting cheats were a massive downer as well."

That's fortnight you bell-end, not TF2.

I've been playing TF2 since 2011. It's never been a better time to play! Great new maps getting dropped once or twice a year recently. Sadly, no hoov update yet.

I own 5 and 6. I still play five.

Six was so boring, it felt like it was a office job.
Another thing, I never really got past the awful graphics, the weird-looking characters with like 1000 options on how to respond.
Civ V had a tech tree. Civ 6 had multiple trees.

Make a game so complicated that it's boring to play.

Civ V, is still so playable. So much so that the last time I looked, it was more expensive on STEAM than VI.

I'm not the only one here thinking this.
FYI, I stared with Civilization, (1) the first.

With that in mind, I'll wait 5 or 6 years until all of the DLC for 7 are completed and all of the reviews are in, before I sink 100 hours into a boring game waiting for it to be fun. (I've been playing V, on and off for more than a decade.)

But I guess 10,000 hours of TF2 says differently.

"There is no chance they were chosen on quality and every chance they were picked to serve some personal agendas."

The Hugos became irrelevant when the 5th Season won over Seveneves.

MS, while we're here fixing Edge, could you please have a look at how your browser cooperates with ChatGPT.

Basically, it won't work at all. Chrome is no better. But, oh boy, ChatGPT just loves Firefox.

Funny that. I use chrome for work, exclusively. Edge for nothing, so I wanted to sandbox the AI here. Firefox has been my main personal browser (think porn, drugs, shit posting) since reading a story on the browser on /. back in the early 2000s.\

Am i missing something about the data ChatGPT is scraping?

"China explicitly promises not to nuke anyone who doesn't nuke them first"

The Chinese government isn't trustworthy in any sense. Absolutely nothing said can be believed. In fact, to strike first then claim that it was in self defense would be very "China."

But with Russia, we had people to talk to. When we called, someone picked up. In the new China (and Russia) power is so concentrated at the top that (my guess) generals and politicians are afraid to pick up the phone unless the leader has already formulated a plan.

Avoiding a war only works if there's someone to talk to. Hell, the new China head of the army is under US sanctions. That tells you how much the Chinese want to talk to us.

Holy shit...between star wars and batman...I just don't give a shit anymore. Another cgi crap film about flying people with magical powers. I did watch patterson's 'the batman'. 3 hours long, this was a movie that just didn't need to be made. No purpose. A story that's been flogged to death...it's now...'rebooted.'

Congratulations! And...wow, 27417, you must be old.

Pac-man? I can honestly say I've never played it. Every arcade box I can remember was always Ms. Pac-Man.

no, no, no, it was actually better than the original.

Then maybe it's time to retire some of the old sci-fi. I would much prefer to see Seven Eves made into a movie.

And in book two, Paul and his revolution is responsible for 60 billion deaths. (But actually in Frank's story, without Paul - or actually, his son, 'cos Paul chickens out, we go extinct.)

What kills me is that Herbert's notes for book seven were never released. Instead, we got his son's absolute crap writing. And none of the final questions properly answered (such as where did the spice come from, Arrakis was once a water planet before the worms). IMHO, Frank's universe building trumps Tolkien's black and white (good/evil) story about faries and dwarves.

That's the problem there...In Frank's universe, there's a lot of talking...so much blah, blah, blah. Everyone always needs to be giving a speech.

In China they are building new airports. In the US we are telling air traffic controllers to wear masks, hampering communications with pilots.
>infrastructure spending by the government is an unsustainable way to prop up an economy.

In China they build everything. In the US we build almost nothing.
>No, in China, they build cheap shit, in the US innovation occurs. Nothing? From aircraft to the machines that make the microchips. That's USA! USA! China can't make either. (FYI - Taiwan's chip sector is built on machines from the US, Germany and The Netherlands. Semi-fabs require very light regulation as they're so dirty and dangerous to the people working in them. Even in TW, the low-level staff at TSMC and UMC are from the Philippines and Indonesia. Too many cancerous chemicals in those air-tight fabs)

In China their schools focus on math and science. In the US our schools focus on critical race theory, tearing down statues of formerly revered Americans, and leftist indoctrination. Math and science are way down the list, as evidenced by our declining proficiency compared to other developing countries.
>In the US, schools make critical thinkers. China makes drones that can pass tests.

In China they appear to have little in the way of racial tension. Here in the US we engage in seeminly endless race wars. Past sins cannot, and more importantly will not, be forgiven by those that have a vested interest in having the race wars continue.
>That's becuase there are so few non-Han Chinese in China. Ask any Chinese Muslim about racial tension in China.

In China they lend money to other countries (like the US). In the US we are broke. Our governments (Republican and Democrat alike) continue to piss away trillions of dollars that we don't have and pay for it by increasing the money supply. The interest rates are so low that the Chinese won't buy our bonds anymore so the Federal Reserve, in violation of their own charter, are buying corporate bonds to prop up the stock market.
>you don't understand finance, I don't have hours to explain this to you.

What all of this means is that the US is in an obvious and probably irreversible decline.
>Nope. Never bet against the US.

Really, the 50c army is now on /. ?
