Ah, well, with a huge screen I imagine it might matter more, yeah :)

That's another thing I've never got into. Our living room and bedroom are small-ish, or medium-ish at most; I really can't imagine using a huge TV screen in them. I never really understood the whole "cover your wall with a TV screen" thing :D

Similar to TV that way. Graphics are overblown.

When digital and hi-def TV came out, I was like "eh, seeing the actors' pores isn't going to improve anything. Good plots and characterization would." And so it is with games as well.

I'm not sure what age you think that is, but this semi-old guy won't be watching it because I don't want to. It's pointless and boring.

(And I'm not sure that I know of anyone, no matter how old, who "doesn't know how" to use YouTube.)

I've had fewer problems with PayPal than with any bank, lol. After decades of financial activity.

I dunno; it seems to have worked for smoking. Use and demand fell massively, social approval vanished, now pretty much only losers smoke.

It could be argued, but that would be pretty silly, as the demand is clearly there to begin with, and couldn't really be any larger.

So ... super cheap code monkeys are being replaced by LLMs?

There really isn't any other way to read that.

... on fake-Twitter, and Youtube. At least if we go by the /. summary, lol

It's not unreasonable in and of itself.

The question is how it will be applied. Is it going to be just random bias against LLM assistance, or is it just going to be reasonable code quality standards? (Which ... should have been in place anyway?).

I don't think "US tech" is really the problem here:

The target has relatives back in China. China says play ball, or your sister gets it.

... is that it consumes standardized, structured text, has a consistent UI, etc.

This sounds ... like not that.

Well, actually, yeah, if he's not a citizen.

Why should we continue to tolerate a criminal guest?

Yes, there are a few useful corners of social media.

And you could watch symphonies on TV too. And educational stuff. But kids didn't, did they? Or those who did were a rounding error.

And then of course there's the fact that social media is a million times worse than TV ever was. You wouldn't let your kids wander down every dark alley of every city on earth, so why would you let them wander every corner of the internet?

Really ... so what?

An overwrought social media post is "inauthentic"?? A political speech or protest tirade is "inauthentic"? Seriously?

I mean, as if they weren't that way ... before chatbots?

... could be replaced by an email conversation.

But then, arguments would actually have to be made (from something other then enthusiasm), and could be considered dispassionately. And everything would be in writing. We can't have that!
