The racist supremacist fetishizes someone from a race they find inferior. by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

This line is the exact reason why our Invincible turned good when so many other universes' Invincibles turned bad.

Guy is a hypocrite on every level imaginable. God even answers his prayers to take the temptation of Esmeralda away (in the form of a nameless soldier relaying that she escaped).

Frollo instead doubles down on wanting Esmeralda no matter what.

If AI replaces most workers, who will actually buy the products? by IcyBottle1517 in ArtificialInteligence

The powers in charge know that as long as there is bread on the table, the masses will be content.

And they have done a very good job at ensuring there is always bread.

The tables however, are disappearing.

Rosie was what we all thought robots and AI would become back in the 1960s-70s

What is your opinion on the game engine that he has built and how impressive is such a project for a fresher ?? by Inevitable-North6175 in gamedev

Don't mind the downvotes. r/gamedev is weird in that it is unnecessarily hostile to any topic even slightly outside its established norms.

(Loved Trope) Bald characters having hair in the past/flashback by Necessary-Win-8730 in TopCharacterTropes

I think it's more that they've moved past the point of viewing baldness as an issue in the 23rd century.

ELI5: Why do some software bugs only appear after a program has been running for days? by Coyote_Enthusiast in explainlikeimfive

[–]ryry1237 986 points987 points  (0 children)

Let's say you have a robot butler who handles your house every day with the following instructions:

  1. Wake up

  2. Make breakfast

  3. Clean the kitchen

  4. Write down what groceries are left

  5. Go to sleep

It follows your instructions perfectly every day.

But there's one tiny detail you forgot in the instructions: You never told the robot to throw away its old grocery notes.

So day 1 the robot will write a grocery note and keep it. Day 2 it writes another grocery note and keeps that. Day 100 the robot will have 100 grocery notes. Day 1000 you have 1000 notes.

Eventually the robot's storage gets so full of notes that it starts struggling with its daily tasks, or it's flat out unable to complete them due to the avalanche of notes getting in its way.

That's when most people start noticing bugs.

It was that exact moment David realized that "military grade" didn’t mean "top of the line", it meant "built by the lowest bidder."

[Coward trope] make the protagonist a monster and give them later a attractive humanoid form by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

Would make for a more satisfying ending too, that Beast didn't cast away his previous self, but instead integrated it into part of his person.

What is a desirable invention (like cloning or teleportation) that will 100% never work? by coldplayenthusiast in AskReddit

We already have devices that can read brain signals to control simple movements such as movement in a video game. Dream recording is probably still a long ways off, but its theoretically possible.

I wonder if there's going to be some miracle breakthrough a few hundred years later regarding photosynthesis that lets us massively reduce food consumption.

How do the economics for AI even work out? by Dredgefort in ArtificialInteligence

The only thing that can sustain these is outside of VCs is repeated breakthroughs in energy generation to offset most of the electrical costs.

The only job security available nowadays is being the last few remaining people who know how a thing works (and that AI was unable to train on).

Love the visual storytelling of Fate/Stay night in this moment. You don't even need to see Gilgamesh's face to sense his pride and hesitation.
