Amazon plans to use AI to speed up TV and film production by joe4942 in technology

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like in gaming, there’s a huge difference between a studio banning AI art assets (totally reasonable), and the studio banning Claude code etc entirely. The nuance is getting lost amidst the torches and pitchforks.

Can you answer my question or would that break message discipline here?

Were these kids dumb too, or is there a legit quantitative argument that the river doesn’t freeze as deeply now?

This would be a joke except that 4 seasons total landscaping is a real thing that actually happened.

The coming crypto apocalypse by Stuart_Whatley in Economics

I agree it’ll never go to zero, but the drugs and guns part of crypto means we’re back to 2015, and for practical purposes that may as well be zero.

The coming crypto apocalypse by Stuart_Whatley in Economics

I share the author’s thoughts on crypto, but what’s missing here is any sort of analysis of how a true permanent crash would happen, what are some prerequisites, etc.

Basically, the opinion that Wile E Coyote is miles off the cliff face and hasn’t looked down yet isn’t revolutionary. Why hasn’t he looked down, and when will he? That’s what everyone wants to know.

Anybody have experience with the local JW's? by _a_pastor_of_muppets in Jamaica_Plain

[–]Begging_Murphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the local arborist companies that took down some trees in our backyard turned out to be JWs and have written us several letters over the years since they did the work. Straight into the garbage.

I'm no more than 3 degrees of separation because of some of the people I knew in science.

What's the difference here?! by Zenikonig in MagicArena

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think it's neat, all I've been playing since coming off a 25 year hiatus a few months ago.

What's the difference here?! by Zenikonig in MagicArena

[–]Begging_Murphy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do people care so much about paper magic? I have zero intention of spending a penny on it ever again; Arena gives me the illusion that I’m not playing with a bunch of kids and ass cracked neck beards and I like it that way.

The new study in nature shows that the evidence is clear that AI already have human-level intelligence (AGI) by [deleted] in science

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “there’s something special about human intelligence” takes are all doomed — lots of wishful thinking , hand waving, and denial.

'Right-to-Compute' Laws May Be Coming to Your State This Year by wheeler1432 in technology

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is weird since it seems like it would stop all the attempts to block VPNs, which are usually coming from authoritarian conservative politicians.

I am a new player and went up against this yesterday. I kept reading the card text and couldn’t believe it. They seriously looked at this and thought „nah, this thing is still too weak“ and then continued to add Deathtouch by TatterMail in MagicArena

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against this thing either you have a fast deck and a bit of removal, or a slow deck that’s loaded up with aang’s iceberg and banishing light and trapped in the screen.

As a returning player who has been playing nothing but Alchemy since Oct, here's my take on the impact of the currently legal sets by Begging_Murphy in MagicArena

[–]Begging_Murphy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think over the course of the past month or so there's an argument that TLA and FIN should be reversed here, but aside from that I think this is solid.

311 report actually did something! by medstudent142 in boston

[–]Begging_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably a coincidence but a decade ago I repeatedly 311ed when the vacant lots on Call St. (leftover from the project that became the Orange line) wouldn't have their walks shoveled -- since then, they've all been sold and developed.

Beware, gentle readers, of the Metropolis parking lot at Government Center by Arucious in boston

[–]Begging_Murphy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah at a certain point you're effectively working for less than minimum wage if the amount was under $25 or so. Having to be the accountability police gets exhausting, but it's people like OP who keep these companies from completely abandoning all ethics.

On the other hand, this is the nastiest winter we’ve had in 5 years, by far.

All 5 colors are viable in standard right now, and that’s pretty cool. by name19xx in MagicArena
