Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant.
The Nexus 6 replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.
Replicants were used off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets.
After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an off-world colony, replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death.
Special police squads - Blade Runner Units - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing replicant.
This was not called execution. It was called retirement.

Heh, if you think Dune spoilers are bad, imagine how Paul feels.

I heard this one guy used anal beads...

Cyberpunk 2077 or Deus Ex might be more fitting.

I thought Military Intelligence was supposed to be an oxymoron.

As someone who can picture things in his mind to some extent, I'd describe it as having another framebuffer that's separate from vision that I can shift attention to to see glimpses of images if I put some effort into it, or something like a story triggers it.
As someone who's worked as a visual designer, I don't remember ever explicitly using it as a tool, but it probably helps having a vague draft in my head to work towards.
So it makes me wonder if it's possible to train control over it, or if someone people have much greater control over it.
I used to paint from live models, so if someone could just consistently hold on to an imaginary view the painting part wouldn't be too difficult.
There was this artist named King Jung Gi who would start from a blank piece of paper and fill it with intricate details without seeming doing any planning, I wonder if he just had the whole thing held in his mind.

Speak for yourself, I do all my gaming on vinyl.

Don't eye fusion laser with remaining eye.

The social fixer browser addon allows you to determine which types of posts, and in what order, are displayed on Facebook.

If anything, all the news has shown is that there's no point investing in OpenAI.
All they have is brand recognition, a bit of first mover advantage, and some temporary human capital.
The CEO was fired and immediately got a job offer from Microsoft, a large portion of the workers were ready to follow him, and OpenAI would have immediately become irrelevant.
They don't own the training data, they receive their compute from Microsoft, and it appears all their competitors have been able to catch up to them so I guess they don't hold any crucial patents.

I expect the BSOD message to be something along the lines of

"Well, I donâ(TM)t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."

For Facebook you can use the Social Fixer extension and select which type of posts you want to see and in what order.

'Make' presumably means hire someone like Jim Keller to design it and then pay TSMC to fabricate it.

I worked at a VFX/Animation house up until a couple of years ago, at the time we were looking into migrating some of the shows to Unreal.
The plan was to start with our visually simpler children's shows for which Unreal was good enough already, and the seen if it can be scaled for higher quality stuff.

I believe these were some of the considerations:
Unreal was free, and even with the new pricing I doubt it would be anything close to the thousands of dollars per seat per month for stuff like Autodesk software, render nodes, etc.
Near real-time render requires fewer computers, faster iterations with supervisors and clients.
What the animators see is what the final render should look like, so less guesswork and surprises with lighting, hair, switching to higher poly models, etc.
The aspiration was, at least with the lower quality shows, to have no post production, just slap on the color grading and effects in engine.
