Why are all the experts going on about the fact you might blind pilots but not talking about the fact that it won’t actually do anything.
It would have to be an astonishingly vast megastructure for it to have any effect at all. If we were talking about a structure 100 km across or more they might actually have some sort of point.
He famously isn’t rich. He manages the money of the rich, he himself is only well off. This isn’t his money he’s investing, it’s the money of the people he works for. So there’s obviously some market feeling that this is a good bet.
The fact that he was even able to make that bet is incredible. How deluded do you have to be to think the AI bubble won’t burst? Keeping it going will require in ever-increasing amounts of money to paper over the gaping chasms that keep cropping up, and eventually the amount of money necessary to keep it going will cease to be feasible. Then, after taking gullible investor for all of they’ve got, the whole thing will fall over in the world’s most well deserved and predictable market crash.
The subprime mortgage collapse was inevitable only in hindsight, you had to have a good understanding of the market to see it in advance. To see the level of corruption and false promises that have to be made in order to make the mortgage bubble possible. But everyone can see the AI BS right out in the open, I’m not talking about the “how many Rs are in strawberry” questions either, I can sort of see why that’s not really a fair question. I’m talking about the fact that every single business that has ever tried to replace its employees with AI, has always failed, and failed almost immediately. Even Amazon couldn’t make it work.
You have to be pretty deep in the Kool-Aid to think that ubisoft has “taken risks” with Assassins Creed.
I’ve always wondered why some people write 101 at the end of sentences. It seems to be something North Americans do, but I’ve never really understood what it’s supposed to indicate.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had marginally competent political representatives rather than the complete wastes of oxygen that we have right now.
I think I have it in my contract that I don’t have to work longer hours just because the time changed. Basically I start work at 9:00 a.m. (or whatever might start time for that week is) and then I finish 8 hours later. Whatever time 8 hours after the start time is, I go home at that time, regardless of what the clocks currently say.
Daylight savings happens in different countries at different times, so might have been today for some people.
They are sanctioning themselves.
If he’s invented teleportation that’s totally different I’m all for that.
There is a severe lack of people to work in the care sector. I don’t understand how the situation is improved by having them remotely control expensive robots. They can still only be in one place at a time controlling one robot at a time.
I agree on the slave front. If there is going to be any slavery going on, it better be good old-fashioned analogue slavery.
Where does it say that
The article never makes the claim that you can access it from anywhere in the world. Literally nowhere in the entire article does it ever make a comment even remotely suggesting that that’s a possibility.
This should be some sort of award for getting a patent denied in Japan. They grant patents on vague ill defined concepts all the time, so if it’s been rejected it’s really been rejected.
Japan once granted a patent on the concept of “doing something while the game loads”, Which is why we had all those tips screens for years, they weren’t allowed to do anything interactive. I think this all came tumbling down when assassin’s creed allowed you to wander around a blank empty void during loading. Such innovation.
Why does Google even care? They should make Microsoft file takedown notices for each of these installs while at the same time promoting Linux after all their own OS runs on Linux (I know it’s a piece of junk that can’t compare to a typewriter but still)
I think I only ever had a chequebook with one account and I never used it, then the following bank didn’t even ask me if I wanted one. I never really liked the fact that I have to write something on a piece of paper, I felt convinced I was going to screw it up and forget how to spell “twenty” or something.
We now get to experience what it would have been like if the Nazis had a negative IQ. Which is impressive to say, because some of them were totally deranged.
All they’re doing here is ensuring that all of the really intelligent people leave and go live somewhere else.
The python foundation should have asked them to define the terms of the contract in a document. At least that way we would have had a legal definition of what woke means in their eyes. Because I’m reasonably confident that even they don’t know.
As with most games I’m just not going to get it day one and wait for the reviews. It’s not like they’re going to run out of stock so there’s no harm in delaying things.
I want to see what they do with the RP side of things, as there are rumours of a proper RP mode, which would make online play actually bearable. But since it’s just rumours with no evidence, I’m going to wait.
