That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

He’d probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Yeah, in fact I think that’s a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren’t met despite the product on its own being good

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

It’s not worth it, and while the transphobia is absent, the antisemitism is still there

Unpopular opinion because it’s so recent, but I think Starfield is/will be in this category

The problem with the Turing test and current AI is that we didn’t teach computers to think, we taught them to talk.

Which makes water lava, technically speaking

That’s what the movie industry tried to push pretty quickly after the first Barbenheimer craze. I don’t think it works in this case, though

Well, Xbox and PC exclusive.

And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

Or just let people wear what they want ffs

It’s 130 euros to upgrade from a 7700 with stock cooler to a 7800x3D with dark rock 4 cooler.

That seems a bit steep, especially if I can upgrade the CPU in 3 years

Yeah, at least that’s the only usecase where power will matter

This release is perfectly timed for my build to upgrade an i7 9700 / RTX 2080. Only question now is a Ryzen 7700 or an Intel 13600kf. Any thoughts ?

Oh god, that’s not even unrealistic

Wouldn’t it be Divinity 7?

But to build on your analogy: we don’t make regulations based on a religious doctrine anymore in most countries. If your religion says no one is allowed to wear mixed fabrics or eat pork, that’s fine if you’re not doing that, but we’re not banning those things for all of society.

There’s about as much proof for an existential AGI threat as there is for a deity, so let’s not make policies based on either, and focus instead on real potential and already proven harms of AI

I have to disagree here. Disclaimer: I work for a bank but not super into the core financial stuff. Firstly, banks are already super heavily regulated; anti money laundering, terrorism financing, know your customer, etc. The reason crypto takes minutes for international transfers and banks can take days isn’t because of technology, it’s all of those checks on fraud happening. All the money leaving a bank account is, barring very advanced fraud, with the user’s consent, but in fraud cases this is often done via social engineering (calling someone to get their codes from their bank card reader, or pretending to be a family member in need).

Quick pickled red onions are the bomb. They go with so much!
