This show man. Nobody was expecting it to be so good. Still remember watching Fred have the worst bloodless death in the history of live action television. In a show where they know the afterlife is real and good guys go to heaven and some get brought back to life, Fred, the sweetest character, played by the beautiful Amy Acker, has her eternal soul slowly destroyed by and elder god who hollows out and takes up residence in her body for the rest of the show. Illyria was awesome but the implications of having your soul destroyed in the Buffyverse in particular was fuuuuucked up.
It's a ballsy move they're assuming subscription revenue from Game Pass and whatnot will offset the $70 bucks every COD-playing subscriber would have otherwise forked out for the game and then be locked into subscribing until the next COD to not lose access to it. That's forgoing a whole lot of upfront cash on the promise of subs (and the in-game microtransactions). Maybe they think it'll give them some edge in console sales vs PS5 who's users wouldn't be getting that "free" access, trying to get the benefits of making COD XB exclusive without actually making it exclusive (since they can't since they pinky promised not to in the Activision buyout). Sneaky buggers.
Yeah, the search space needs more competition and Google's enshitification of their own services has left a huge opening for someone to disrupt their search dominance. I already use Bing for image searches and DuckDuckGo for a lot of my web searches when Google fails me or I don't want my search for some random thing I'll never need to see again to get interpreted by Google as a new thing to try and advertise to me.
Just based off the one clip I'm curious enough to see the flick. Considering how intriguing the tease is they'd have to drop just an awful trailer to screw up the hype around it.
So like if Nu-Metal fucked Metallica? Sounds like that's what they're going for. Very djenty of them commiting that hard to the worship of the almighty open top string, I dug it.
Eh, I don't mind it. They're efficiently making sure everybody knows that song is still being enjoyed in current day. Eventually that comment will reach peak efficiency when it becomes just a thread of people typing the last two digits of the current year over and over.
Nationwide UBI will likely require a tax on all companies creating or employing AI. Also keep in mind UBI would be replacing welfare and possibly foods stamps creating a massive pool of cash to begin with. A dream scenario would see those funds supplemented even further by a tax on cannabis in conjunction with recreational use being legalized at the federal level.
As for the "life has no meaning without work" argument I just disagree with that completely. First there's the fact that loads of people would still be working even after AI takes over all the knowledge work and even after AI-infused robots take over all the physical work. People would still find meaning in creating art and music despite the fact that AI would also be involved in art and music, people would find meaning in improving themselves physically and mentally. There could be a whole renaissance of people getting back to face-to-face interaction with family and friends given all their free time. People would still want to explore (on Earth, in space and philosophically), science will always have a bleeding edge some folks will want to be on the cusp of. Sports and hobbies, building things there's unlimited potential outside the confines of the wage slavery system we've been shackled to for so long.
Soon enough most knowledge work degrees will be worthless. Personally I'm hoping we can get to this "job-free, UBI for all" future already. Living through the transition is gonna suuuuuck for a lot of people if the usual suspects fight giving people universal basic income while the short-sighted anti-AI luddites keep up with the "AI ain't taking mah jerb!" bullshit at the same time.
Devin AI, though probably vaporware, is still a good proof of concept for these kinds of dev systems and Devin is only running 4 sub-agents. Imagine an AI running hundreds or thousands of sub-agents each handling different aspects of the development pipeline from setting up environments to QA to final commits and go-live and keeping a master list of where in the process the whole thing is. A single human coder could be overseeing the master list to step in and resolve any bottlenecks. After enough learning the human coder could be cut out of the process entirely and only step in at the end to ensure the software is working to spec before launch. It's prolly not completely there yet but it's definitely coming and likely sooner than one would expect.
We'll keep have to deal with hallucinations until/unless they give AI the ability to say "I don't know." Right now models are basically required to give an answer to a prompt and if no true answer exists in their approximation then they just lie/hallucinate the most convincing thing they can calculate because answering, "How should I know?" isn't an option. There's something about the black box nature of how current LLMs formulate replies that makes recognizing when to admit defeat in answering a query a non starter at the moment. It's why a image generator will always return an image no matter how obscure or misunderstood the prompt was. For example I just asked Leonardo.ai for an image of "mipsydoople canarling a jibbymank" and got the attached image which I guess is it taking "canarling" to mean "canary" because failure isn't an option.
So they're making a live action OPM in Hollywood and not using a story from the original creators but instead Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell rewriting a script from two dudes responsible for Kangaroo Jack and Netflix's Cowboy Bebop respectively to be helmed by the director from Fast and Furious?
Jesus fucking Christ on flaming pogo stick this is going to suck. It'll be funny, maybe, but not in the same iconic way OPM is funny and all the rest of it will be off. Calling it now, they're going to set it in America, race swap multiple characters and fuck with the mythology somehow. Plus it's a Sony production so the cinematography is going to be in that same shitty league as Morbius, Venom and Madame Web. Fuck!
The US needs a new hub for the film industry completely separate from Hollywood that isn't controlled by multinational conglomerates. Hollywood is looking too far gone at this point.
They say they're rolling Linux out over time and training the workers how to use it before and as they switch. Gotta think that'll have better results than some of the failed attempts to switch by some other governments.
I'm definitely going either Linux with a Win11 virtual machine or just strait Linux when I'm forced to leave Windows 10 finally. I'm sick of Windows power-user hostility and privacy invasion.

Beats me, I only use a couple AI tools and not too often.
NSFW tag isn't allowed in this sub. But I mean it's a dolphin hole, seems like a grey area at worst. But I'll delete it if you want?

Say it ain't so! Tell us you don't really use the desktop site in bright mode? How many bodies you got buried in your basement you monster?
Also woo hoo and stuff

Coolness. I guess once you go live with it I'll see where I might be able to help design-wise and send some ideas (my laziness allowing).
Awesome. Hype engaged.
BTW I want to offer you a graphic design assist with the app, but I also don't want to do any work. It's a conundrum for me.
How easy/hard is the UI to fiddle with if you wanted to? We talking basic HTML/CSS or some kind of templating system with a lot of moving parts?
The few the proud... Maichan
A life well lived. Dude got to see the realization of his life's work and won a Nobel for it. RIP to one of the greats.
Just realized I was anon, this is Necro
Defend the sign! I mean I'm not gonna do it but you guys go git em. Go on git.

Felt like modern grunge on my first listen. I've been in a rabbit hole of interesting music this morning and yeah these guys have a cool vibe.
