I think that's weird, I never had nausea any worse with Skyrim VR than any other game. I just get a mild discomfort with everything that kind of goes away now, kind of like being in the car too long.

NFL broadcasting has always been an absurd money grab (for instance from 1973 through 2014, a home game could not be televised in the team's local market if 85 percent of the tickets were not sold out 72 hours before the starting time of the match) and the internet/streaming only made it worse.

Finally a feel-good story makes the news

IMO it's even worse than that. At least from what I gather from the AI/Singularity communities I follow. For them, AGI is the end goal - a creative thinking AI capable of deduction far greater than humanity. The company that owns that suddenly has the capability to solve all manner of problems that are slowing down technological advancement. Obviously owning that would be worth trillions.

However it's really hard to see through the smoke that the Altmans etc. are putting up - how much of it is actual genuine prediction and how much is fairy tales they're telling to get more investment?

And I'd have a hard time believing it isn't mostly the latter because while LLMs have made some pretty impressive advancements, they still can't have specialized discussions about pretty much anything without hallucinating answers. I have a test I use for each new generation of LLMs where I interview them about a book I'm relatively familiar with and even with the newest ChatGPT model, it still makes up a ton of shit, even often contradicting its own answers in that thread, all the while absolutely confident that it's familiar with the source material.

Honestly, I'll believe they're capable of advancing AI when we get an AI that can say 'I actually am not sure about that, let me do a search...' or something like that.

This guy capitalisms ^

For those who haven't had their coffee yet this morning - 'middle class' is yet another term they use to divide us and make us fight with each other instead of the real enemy

Why does that work?

Saved it but never thought it’d come in handy

The worst to me is everyone now including a shitty bag to put the product in. Like it MAYBE makes sense to include a case for travel headphones or something but no I do not need you to include something for me to put the external SSD drive in.

I think their point is that nearly every other phone is in the Android ecosystem, isn't it?

I thought the larger point was that they're using plenty of sources that do not lie in the public domain. Like if I download a textbook to read for a class instead of buying it - I could be proscecuted for stealing. And they've downloaded and read millions of books without paying for them.

Yeah you say that until you get a tusk in the crotch
