Not sure which shows you’re talking about, but the subject matter seems flexible and interesting. They’re people who can do things the audience surely cannot, and have problems the audience will never face. You can easily write them as miserable anyway for glurge points about the importance of family and whatnot.

It’s basically superhero media where the superpower is money. So Batman without the kung-fu.

As a reminder, these things run on normal computers, and they are giving them away for free.

Does your company have computers, y/n?

An improvement, but fuck off nonetheless.

He is serving his function. Sony is gripping their platform with both hands, after nearly letting it slip away. The future presented by Helldivers 2 and various Spider-Mans is one where Sony’s a relatively large publisher for several important studios. The future where they deny reality and cosplay the 90s console war for another decade is one where they are the biggest fish in a small pond, and that makes more money, somehow.

I’m unclear how that will play out if Microsoft simply declines to release another Xbox.

Well aside, it’s surprising nothing on PS2 tempted you. Several tentpole titles did famously get PC ports, but if you’re more about Kingdom Hearts than GTA, that machine was like $150 by 2004.

With a twist in the third act.

Post below this: It says gullible on the ceiling.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

Ban the entire business model.

"China is good!’

“I disagree.”

How high, sir?

Right, it’s bad when one country invades another out of nowhere, like for flimsy historical excuses to use their land.

Fish attacks mirror.

I could hold up a blank sign and you’d parrot the same script about “fantasy.”

“We can’t moderate you for applying our rhetoric consistently unless you explicitly say which camp you mean!”

There are other ways it might work, like if there is a method of compression that is discovered that reduces the necessary RAM and Compute needs by 2-3 orders of magnitude. So models that are considered very large today (100-300 billion params at full quality) might be able to run effectively on a single 32GB GPU that costs a few thousand dollars.

You might want to check in on how well distilled / quantized models are doing, compared to gigundo datacenter versions.

Yes, wouldn’t it be terrible if one country claimed the entire territory of another.

They’re fucked.

Local models are already winning. Those benchmarked a year behind the biggest of big boys, a year ago. Six months ago they were six months behind. Yesterday Qwen released 3.6 27B and it outperforms 3.5 397B… from February.

Either we’re plateauing toward the asymptotic limit of LLM capabilities, and the endgame runs as well on a toaster as it does on a server - or breakthroughs use big fat models as a glorified search space to be rapidly discarded. Both options point toward neural networks as a lump of algebra that sits on your hard drive and occasionally spins your fans. Remote computing loses, as it basically always must, and the drastically reduced requirements for competing on local software favor clever new competitors who aren’t a bajillion dollars in debt.

The proper national lawsuit against this would be any woman from the middle east who feels a headscarf is appropriate, but happens to be an atheist.

Laicite should be a loanword, instead of getting translated to secularism. Keeping your religion private is not the same as keeping it a secret.

I understand the motivation. And for a little necklace, meh, tuck it in. But other cultural indicators create bizarre demands - like ‘You can’t serve school lunch unless we see your hair.’

Jesus fuck, of course they do! Don’t use a chatbot for medical advice!

There’s neural networks specifically for diagnosis. Pattern recognition is kinda their whole thing, But a model trained on the whole internet has worryingly high odds of saying ‘you have cancer of the butthole, LOL.’ The correct incidence rate for that description in a medical context is never.

It’s not tunneling, it’s capacitance. Even truly disconnected components can accidentally become a transformer.
