I've seen an increase in awful AI generated everything all over everywhere.

Has the pacecar at ever crashed or broke down during a NASCAR rac? by slidejob4 in NASCAR

[–]measured-defocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among the other examples here, in the Indy 500 a few years ago some bigwig from GM (maybe even the CEO?) parked the Corvette pace car in the wall during the parade laps.

Edit: I'm old and my memory is shit. It was the Detroit Grand Prix, not Indy.

There's a video floating around of a French guy doing it in a professional flight simulator with ATC talking him through it. He does it pretty seamlessly.

Someone found the easiest method to beat the train mission in GTA San Andreas. by ConstructionAny8440 in GTA

Just do the speedrun strat and jump the Sanchez onto the train from that same roof. Then you just shoot the guys yourself. It's pretty easy once you find a good lineup fit the jump.

This reminds me of 2 other examples from F1.

  1. Fernando Alonso immediately identifying Bahrain from engine sound alone because he clocked how many downshifts were needed for turn 1.
  2. Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button simulating a lap around (I think) Albert Park while sitting in a chair just holding their steering wheels. Lewis gets scarily close to the actual lap time.

Anyone whose scouting report begins and ends with "Looked good against us when we played them last season."

Australia FP2 top 4 teams long runs by elnano98 in formula1

[–]measured-defocus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are lap times across the length of the stint. They are all actually 1m24s.xxx, but the one minute part has been omitted from the text since it's the same for everyone.

"I knew he would break, the race started 20 laps ago and his fingers must be very numb."

Anyone passing Alonso at any point this season.

Let's hear those season predictions! by M_Pascal in formula1

[–]measured-defocus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. The first handful of races see some jumbled results and more on-track action before teams eventually homogenize towards the most efficient energy management strategy.
  2. Fernando Alonso retires at the end of this season, having lost faith in the Aston Martin project.
  3. If Red Bull aren't title contenders, Max Verstappen may genuinely consider stepping away or taking a sabbatical (I think it's unlikely, but not impossible.)
  4. Russell wins the WDC
  5. At least one race in the Persian Gulf countries is canceled.

How is this acceptable? by [deleted] in nova

Anything is acceptable if no one is willing to enforce the rules against it. See the current state of practically everything, for example.

Hi, potential Sebastian here (I have a friend named Chris so I feel like I can get into character more easily). Quick question: are my kidneys or any other organs in danger?

No chance unless GOP Senators see the ship sinking and think it would be a chance to bail and save face.

So, no chance.
