I really wish my fellow guys that also play games wouldnâ(TM)t be so defensive about the role they are playing in all this. I think a lot of people my age 40s) just assume itâ(TM)s the same criticism as the 80s and 90s which was largely unfounded hysterics. But modern games aimed at young boys are built on the same predatory, attention-keeping/destroying logic as the worst parts of social media or casinos.

The Democratic base is not a left/right mirror image of the Republican base. The Democratic base is not online leftists, who again and again are revealed in every single party contest of every kind to be powerless and outnumbered. The actual Democratic base is boring centrists that love Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, and have supported corporations for decades.

Sony is not going to move manufacturing for a 5 year old console to the US, it makes zero sense. Just setting aside the ridiculousness of investing billions of dollars based on whichever cat happens to be winning the fight inside an 80-year-old's brain in a given moment, it wouldn't make the costs of mass producing consoles cheaper. But maybe this is for the best, do Americans really need 65 PS5s when they can settle for 2?

This is a pretty crappy attitude, celebrating people losing their jobs because you dont like their opinions on games. As a site they've always been pretty left-leaning and never pretended otherwise, and they published no more bait than literally any other website these days. They also had by far the best mainstream tabletop rpg coverage bringing attention to indie games of all kinds.

These researches exposed what scammers around the world have known forever: how easy it is to do this, and Redditâ(TM)s inability or unwillingness to prevent it. Thatâ(TM)s why Reddit is mad. Itâ(TM)s the closest thing to an independent audit of Reddit âoeusersâ we are ever likely to see.

Is it alarmist to suggest Facebook could easily win if they flatter and enrich the regime more successfully than Apple? Because that certainly seems to be the direction our law enforcement is going.

This Congress is stuffed with bootlicking simps, liars, proud know-nothings, and geriatrics. No one should take their advice on anything, unless its how to really get your tongue into those hidden crevices.

Great Britain is nowhere near being out of space. It isn't overpopulation or lack technology causing this, its regulations WITHIN URBAN AREAS, same problem that has afflicted many US cities. Keep the green belts, but let developers knock down old things, let them build up, and they will, and housing prices will come down.

Im not saying this isn't happening, but its odd that this post has no links or citations of any kind.

This isn't a case where a startup has some untested, novel idea. If you start with the position* that a small number of AI companies are going to end up dominating all global commerce in the near future, investing $30b into a new company started by OpenAI vets seems like a reasonable gamble.

* Im not sure that position makes any sense as AI becomes cheaper but this seems to be the theory driving valuations of dozens of major tech companies the last year or so.

Movie trailers are fun (to a point), but thats not the issue. No one is playing 30 minutes of movie trailers. The vast majority is just regular ads you'd see on TV.

People and companies are going to lose track of what AI they are using and where it is and what its responsible for. What happens when all these interdependent services and systems get deprecated, shut down, or just break? They'll be totally helpless. Or is everyone just going to be running and maintaining their own cluster of AI services?

Its a low risk/high reward investment for cynical people. If Trump wins the presidency he will absolutely abuse every power at his disposal to enrich himself, and that almost certainly will include puffing up this stupid crypto.

Another fine example of how all companies (especially public ones) will inevitably turn to cramming advertising into every square inch of their products once they run out of other growth ideas.

I have a kid that likes to watch soccer, cooking, and art videos on the iPad or Apple TV. This ensures he is not buried in ads, same with me on my iPhone. I know some people just rely on ad-blockers but that is pain across multiple users and devices. Its more than worth it to me.
