More people do office work than ever before.

This story is so old it was the reason for Unix. Once the platform controls the essential business process, it owns the business. You work for them now, and all your aspirations are moot.

Wow I had no idea these computer programs didn't execute instructions.

stop anthropomorphizing. they do what the program says.

For young men in San Francisco, there's 10% more men than women. Where is the fascism? China has 7% more men than women, a 30 million surplus - if you're talking about urban areas with jobs, the numbers are far higher - and are people getting violent frustrations out in the street? India has 46 million more men than women - where's their WW2?

The theory may just be shit. Stop writing essays about it.

Instead of willful ignorance, it could just be that not having video games will bring back conditions leading to WW1 and WW2 was just a incredibly bad, bizarre take.

Anyway, even the women thing wasn't true for WW2. If you were a man who survived WW1 surely you were drowning in pussy.

But why AAA video games? Why not phone games? Indie games? Older games? Movies? Drugs? Something else?

It's not like there's no other entertainment options out there.

What a bizarre take. You're suggesting men need either easy dates or cheap AAA video games or WW1 and WW2 happen?

KOTOR 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 are very good.

KOTOR was a great game. Then EA bought them and they released Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Three of the best RPGs ever to my mind.

Hate to see Bioware go...but when Mass Effect 3 came out in 2012, and surely 90% of the employees have moved on, how much institutional knowledge is there to make the next game in the series? (Sorry Andromeda)

It's not like you can't use another model to validate the results you got with one model. That's a step you should be taking anyway. It's actually built into the system for test/dev of the agent and inference model itself. Active supervision, sandboxing and all that.

$56K to decompile Pokemon Heartgold, a 4 MB game for the Nintendo DS. I think we've still got a while to go before AI changes the landscape in a meaningful way.

It seems so. Although Netcraft confirms it is (ahem) a rounding error.

No, it's totally clear what the title means and you are either being pedantic or are a a serious autist.
