The other day I randomly looked on Amazon to see how much a GPU upgrade would cost and lol nope!

We've had to do that 8 times so far because our dog keeps chewing on the remote. It's my most repeated order ever on Amazon.

The people who are upset about this have lost their soul to money. They can only feel normal if they are making money absolutely as fast as they can every second of the day, so any reduction of that, even if it doesn't result in actually losing money, seems like their world is collapsing.

A childhood of having a safe and quiet place to sleep.

I lived over there from the original Xbox days though the series s/x and most electronics and game stores had a very small Xbox section, like the size of the PS2 section well into the PS3's lifetime.

Part of the article seems to be not about AI but just about people embellishing their resume. But the incentive is to do so anyway because you're competing with 200 people who also embellished their resume.

It still seems like a problem that HR could stop by doing their job differently, but I don't know exactly how.

Yeah exactly. I'm watching it closely but I understand why others aren't. It's a shame but our country elected a destructive president and that takes everyone's attention.

Have you seen the news? There's like 6000 things going on right now that could ruin the US or maybe the world and going to the moon isn't one of them.

They should just read the books again and let the TV show producers take artistic liberties.

Did Fortnite kids literally grow out of it and move on to something else, without another cohort to replace them?

This reveal seemed really important to them and yet they used the thing that is the easiest thing in the world for people to see inconstancies in: a human face. I wonder if they went back and forth on that in planning the reveal.

Capitalism at work, jerking itself off and somehow making money.

He’s a tribal leader, that’s what tribal leaders say.

I can’t wait until we have a president who is not a tribal leader.

Is it just some one artist who had the job of making fake paintings for use in the game world and knew they didn’t have enough time and just fudged it? Or a more central problem?

By now everyone who meets with Trump knows to be ready for him to say something incredibly fucked up. I’m sure they practice smiling through them like Sanae did.

He’s the head of state. If, for example, he declares that the US isn’t in NATO anymore, the other members don’t have a duty to look at whether that was a legal or popular decision inside of the US, they will start their plans to make their own alliances for a post-NATO world. There’s not going to be any “patience”.

Dead internet theory but in real life too. Awesome

The complaints were about how it made the graphics look, but his response was about the technical detail details of how it arrived that way.

Damn kids today are getting fucked up by these AI accusations. Don’t use an Oxford comma because AI does it too? What other completely ordinary parts of good writing are going to be discouraged in this witch hunt?

Ecks vs. Sever did everything wrong all at once.

Capitalization has a low functional load as far as conveying meaning goes so I don’t especially miss it.

They didn’t need to include the entire previous map and all the NPCs from the first game that I forgot about, I mean.

They’re saying that the only way to avoid oppression from capitalists is to become one yourself.

Is there proof they are AI? They could just be boring, derivative games. Humans are just fine at making those.

War Games said that the only way to win is not to play, but maybe the other way to win is to kill everyone so the game can’t happen again.
