I own a tiny indie studio in Chicagoland and my peers own the some of the huge studios in Chicagoland.
Cinespace is dead right now. It has ONE show active. The other studios are so dead that they're secretly hosting bar mitzvahs and pickleball tournaments for $1500 a day just to pay property taxes.
My studio is surprisingly busy but I'm cheap and cater to non-union folks with otherwise full time jobs.
No that was implied. There's something called "subtlety," heard of it?
I thought DisplayPort over USB-C was the new hotness, but they're just learning about HDMI? Color me amused.
Enjoy your Bixby button.
True, we need to think outside the box. Go back to in-person oral exams. If you can't explain what you know out loud, then you don't know it. I know, nobody has time to listen to all that, so... have an AI grade the transcript.
This is probably correct. Amazon's software has always been terrible... Amazon Music, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon App Store... all pieces of shit with no direction. So as an Amazon customer I'm actually looking forward to these lousy programmers getting replaced by AI. I won't say it can't get any worse, but at least it's likely to get better if only by regression to the mean...
You're right there, but the problem is that it's fantastic at allowing a bad manager to hide his incompetence. Suddenly all the shitty managers have amazing ideas on how the company should be run after a brief conversation with ChatGPT. Don't like it? Here's ten paragraphs of bullshit to distract you while I jump on another meeting,
I never let them take away my search bar, but congrats on reinventing the wheel.
What is annoying, though, is that a lot of web sites (especially developer-oriented ones) are adding keyboard shortcuts that override the usual Ctrl-K used to selecting the search bar. I have long-established muscle memory for the following sequence to open a new tab and perform a search without touching the mouse: Ctrl-T, Ctrl-K, type in my search terms, hit Enter. When that doesn't work because of a 'convenient shortcut' on the page I happen to be on, I get cranky.
Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.
I guess the only solution here is to have a checkbox that says "I promise I will not use this information for illegal purposes" before you can access any LLM.
Because the rest of the world wants to invest in the US much more than the other way around. This causes the dollar to appreciate making importing in the US cheaper and exporting from the US more expensive. Hence the trade deficit.

This is a good time to remind everyone that when government fucks with markets 40 years ago, they make it hell on everyone for the next 200 years.
Same feeling about my Oculus Quest 2... just gathering dust, but at least it was "only" $300...
In my conversations with ChatGPT, while I do find it helpful, I do worry that it is simply telling me what I want to hear. It's far too agreeable and certainly no replacement for human conversation.
Even bytes get lonely for a little bit.
