I know someone who worked at a comic con he was at, and apparently he was pretty dickish to staff there. (Might be an off day, might be exaggerated, etc etc - but yaknow)

As someone who's been on the other end of a couple of those conversations - it's not a competition. Your situation and how you feel about it is every bit as valid as anyone else's. Hope you're good 🫶

Dear Mr. Ismail, Me and my associates currently make all the gaming hardware in the world and we would like to offer you the chance to buy it all for $300 squintillion, or whatever imaginary number you think we can get away with. Don't worry, anything left in retail will be quadrupled in price.

Doing a Master's now and professors are just like "yeah we recommend you use AI to improve the quality of your writing and product" and I would rather use my brain for that?

Love a good lukewarm send off. Some emails don't need the best regards you can muster - they barely need any regarding at all 😂

If it's not derailed every other second by unrelated yet intriguing sidetracks, is it even research?

Oh wow, all it needs is a well structured large historic dataset, huh? I'm sure those are very easy to get and maintain. Does it have to be accurate at all, or are we beyond that need already as a society?

Not to me but my mom went to get measured for a hearing aid last month. The doctor deadass asked her if it she thought it was still worth it at her age. She's seventy two. 😤 that's like ten years younger than you need to be to get elected US president

I kind of forgot how movie kids in the 80s/early 90s were not allowed complete happiness. Sure they could have a dog show them the meaning of Whitsuntide or whatever, but only if they were the only living survivor of the family shipwreck. Kids movies are brutal.

I think it's a universal cinematic rule that every Muppet movie must always have one human actor who, by definition, puts in a career defining performance.

From what I'm reading, there's no way Sharma is deluded enough to believe this. It'll either be a masterclass in goal post shifting (xbox is windows now, everyone who clicks start is a player) or a deliberately unobtainable goal to warrant the shut down of xbox as a whole. Anyway, happy Monday 😀

I think even that is offset by the general loss of skill and efficiency of the system as a whole, including employees. There was this Microsoft study a while ago that said it was detrimental to the quality of work from employees. And if they deteriorate, they can't fix AI mistakes. But we'll see ig

However, a recent Faros study pointed out that, while AI can increase output by 30-60%, it also *massively* increases error rate and bugs. So in that regard the production gains are negligible, if any. And that's coming from a company pushing AI
