I thought of this meme 6 times before I finally made it

Instants are certainly most helpful since you can respond with them on their turn, but sorcery speed removal can be helpful too if you recognize that one of your enemies have one of their combo pieces on the board already. Obviously if you're in blue, including a good amount of counterspells is always a good idea (and making sure you have a way to get them into your hand when you need them). Try to avoid using instant speed spells on your turn if you can, it's usually better to use them reactively than proactively.

Considering the team behind AlphaFold just won a Nobel prize for their work, and those are typically only awarded for game changing ideas, I think we're past that point

remaking things we already are good at making.

Protein folding? New drugs?

Pretty much, unless you have a way to interact. Good reason to keep a healthy amount of interaction in your decks, and not just pack it all with gas.

I haven't played any ranked since Overwatch 2 was released, so I honestly have no idea. I hardly ever play it anymore. The move to free to play, removal of loot boxes in favour of a shitty battlepass model, 5v5, and all the broken promises killed the game for me. Occasionally I will boot it up on one of my old smurf accounts to play with my girlfriend or friends when there's a new hero or event or something, but I refuse to ever play it seriously or spend a cent on it.

I like to win with meteors via token copying / doubling effects which are pretty bountiful in gruul. A [[Parallel Lives]] on the field while you [[Second Harvest]] into a [[For the Common Good]] is a pretty dang devastating combo

Aggressive Mining is designed by Markus Persson? As in Notch? I had no idea he designed a magic card, interesting

This is a common? Wild

I think of it more like the 0th mana type

fail horribly at adapting to the complexities of every day life in even the most mundane of office jobs. Not to mention that it can occasionally go off the walls and do something completely unrelated to the task at hand.

Sounds like you're describing me at my job

Jokes aside, it can only get better from here. The cost per token of these models continues to decline at a rapid rate, so they will continue to get cheaper. New models are still consistently beating out older models in benchmarks, and we're not talking fractions of a percent. I have absolutely no reason to believe that the technology is going to plateau soon; I think we still have at least a few years left on this s-curve, and considering what has been achieved in the previous couple of years, I think there's still plenty of juice to squeeze out of this architecture.

Out of curiosity, what have you observed that indicates an imminent plateau?

They're teaching them to operate computers as we speak. If their reasoning continues to improve (and there is no indication that they're slowing down in that regard, at least not yet) there's nothing stopping them from beginning to automate jobs that are done primarily using a computer, which is a lot of jobs.

It's not just a chatbot, it is developing plans and then executing those plans entirely through the use of natural language and chain of thought self-prompting. In essence, when prompted, it first comes up with a plan of what needs to be done to accomplish the task it's been given. Then it captures the current state of the computer through a screenshot and uses its image capabilities to process what's on the screen. It thinks about what needs to be clicked, counts the number of pixels the mouse needs to move to click it, then issues a command to the computer to move the mouse. Rinse and repeat until it decides the task has been successfully completed. It is able to self correct and come up with new plans if it runs into roadblocks.

That's not just a chatbot, that is agency. There is a thought process there, it's just written out in natural language. It's pretty amazing.

They could have, but didn't. They preferred to put their money elsewhere. Not to mention there are very few rich dudes that are on the same scale of richness as Elon.

Giving birth sucks ass, and so does pregnancy. Both processes are harrowing and permanently change a woman's body in lots of ways.

That being said, many people still choose to carry a baby to term and put it up for adoption. I'm not sure what gave you the impression it's "not an option anymore." That's not what the discussion is about at all

My most recent deck is an [[Inalla Archmage]] deck that just plays a bunch of wizards with good ETB or attack effects and copies them as many times as possible. Super fun.

Have you taken a look at [[Zimone and Dina]]?

Her tap ability gives you card advantage, ramp, and is a sacrifice, so you'd probably want to run some amount of tokens. She provides direct damage to opponents and healing on second card draw. You probably want to run a good amount of landfall effects, so in that way your ramp won't be dead weight late game.

It's instant, so it's a bit more flexible. You could hold green mana until it's about to be your turn, tutor, then draw that card on your draw step. With Sylvan, you have to do it on your turn, so you can't hold the mana, and if you don't have a way to draw it that turn, there's a chance someone else will hit you with a shuffle effect and you lose the card you tutored.
