They couldn’t cast someone who looks anything like the penguin?

Projecting him reaching a trillion dollars by using his average annual growth rate of >100% is ridiculous.

Not to disagree with anything you’re saying, but I hate the phrase “borderline pedophillia.” Either they’re sexualizing children or not. It’s like saying “non-consensual sex.” There’s no such thing. It’s rape or consensual sex.

As much as everyone loves to shit on Facebook, it was an incredible service. When I was in the military I was able to keep up with my old friends and their lives. When I got out I was able to simply keep in touch with my old military buddies. Now it’s just dead. I’m genuinely sad that this has happened :(

Dr Weir used a pen not a pencil. That explains why the Event Horizon ended up in hell.

That’s the huge take away here. The Chinese can’t comprehend that the DOD doesn’t have a social media control division. Yes we have the NSA and stuff spying, but they don’t control anything.

I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Here are the actual reasons:

1. The designs are classified US military assets
2. They are not refuleable
3. They only come in 2 “sizes”: aircraft carrier and submarine
4. They are not scaleable. You can just make a reactor 2x as big
5. They require as much down time as up time
6. They are outdated
7. The military won’t let you interrupt their supply chain to make civilian reactors
8. New designs over promise and underdeliver
9. They are optimized for erratic operations (combat) not steady state (normal power loads)
10. They are engineered assuming they have infinite sea water available for everything

There’s more but that’s just off the top of my head

As an OG DW fan I hope this isn’t a repeat of 9, but I’m not optimistic. “1 v 1000” and “realism” are two completely different things.

Yeah it’s more like, hey you just bought stabilizing jacks and a water hose for a travel trailer. You must have just bought a new camper. Let’s bombard you with add for stick-up-hooks, rv-mattress sized sheets, cheap plastic dishes, etc.

If you figure each engineer costs apple $250,000 a year, that’s the equivalent of 250 engineers. Could you imagine what apple could accomplish with 5 extra engineering departments? In what world is this one guy worth that much?

I meant what you first thought, but your edit is a much better idea. It would also make sense for steam to keep AI generated content permanently tagged in case laws change and they have to purge games.

Thank you. Every time “why don’t they teach taxes in school?” comes up I want to pull my hair out. All most people have to do is copy about 10 numbers from their w2 into 10 boxes on their 1040ez, do elementary school math, and sign. That’s it. If you attended 2nd grade you learned all of this.

I really hope they add an “AI developed” tag that way I can filter out all of that slop without any hassle.

I am a mechanical engineer. I was able to get special permission from my IT department to use LLMs as part of my workflow as a genie pig for the department. It is completely useless.

One the most valuable skill an engineer can have is being able to communicate technical information effectively to different audiences. GPT is on overly polite meat grinder, spitting out half chewed technical slop.

Cool. Another dipshit hanging out in a hostile nation gets pinched. Now it will cost the US another arms dealer or spy to get them back.

Don’t worry office creeps who make unwanted advances towards coworkers, LinkedIn has your back. A new harassment platform for a new age.

We are in post-competition capitalism. Even if the alternative isn’t owned by the same parent company, they will do the same bullshit.

I asked Chat GPT to write six lines of square-enix dialogue. This is what it came up with:

Character 1: “In the shadow of destiny, our paths converge, my friend.”

Character 2: “The echoes of our past resonate in the silence of this moment.”

Character 1: “The crystal’s light dims, and darkness whispers its name.”

Character 2: “Yet, within the chaos, a glimmer of hope remains untarnished.”

Character 1: “Fate may weave its threads, but our choices carve the tale.”

Character 2: “In the dance of blades, we’ll find the symphony of our destinies.”

Pretty much nailed any kingdom hearts game

The thing that kills me about this sort of thing is the complete lack of accountability. Working class people at assembly plants, dealers, suppliers will all feel the sting from the drop in sales. There’s some dipshit MBA at GM who made and pushed this decision. Any rational person could see that GM is not is a position to push their own infotainment system. Car play and android auto are beloved. Not having one or both is a deal breaker for new car purchasers. We will never know who this person is. Making such an outrageously bad business decision should result thing this person being blackballed from any kind of business role. But that will never happen.

I’m an engineer for the US federal government. We will get 1000+ applications for a super stable fully remote engineering positions that pay less that 70% of the market rate for entry level positions.
