Definitely helps to be able to at least read and understand code. I remember the documentation being decent enough. IIRC it was a thing to provide scripts that look helpful but actually contained malicious code to do all sorts of nasty things to your in-game system. It's really cool.

I wish this AI generated image would go megaviral

I'm still convinced the turning point was when Microsoft deprecated Skype for Business and merged the devs from that team with the ones working on Teams. My tinfoil hat theory is they brought their garbage Lync code with them and pulled seniority to somehow jam it into the new codebase.

This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I'm reading this study correctly, there's practically no difference in content

Said study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7462406/

Don't forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush's Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.

I'm not entirely sure you'd want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.

To be serious, though, I've seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.

Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you've got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren't written by AI yet?

It's possible I just haven't come across those types of comments you're making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don't need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous "think of the children" kind of situation.

a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity

I'm not familiar with their legal system but I would be willing to bet the crimes they've committed were already illegal under existing laws.

I ran across software once that wouldn't compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.

I can't access the research article "craic in a box: commodifying and exporting the irish pub" anymore, but there's a decent enough Vice article that goes over it: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3d8gb/why-irish-pubs-became-the-biggest-food-and-drink-export-since-mcdonalds

Basically corporations packaged up and sold the theme and decorations that made Irish pubs feel authentic.

I wonder if using AI/ML is just the natural evolution of that kinda thing.

I'd eat it:
