Ross is my hero. I’d be nervous as hell having to explain my cause to a parliamentary hearing like that. But it’s also the culmination of all his efforts, so this is a huge milestone for him and consumers everywhere.

I appreciate the nicely formatted table. :)

Weird how they changed to a new genre every release.

I’m just pulling the leg of the guy above me. Granted, at their expense, but we’re both “on the retirement home patio” so to speak.

Sorry to get all “ok grandpa time for your meds” on you, but 2017 was 9 years ago. A whole decade has passed in the industry and the art form. XD

Keep in mind when she says that, that Microsoft is probably not looking to lower the price of GamePass, but to find other things to include in that price. I sincerely doubt they’re going to lower the price and just leave the cash on the table - they’re going to add something to the subscription to keep the people already paying $30/mo from dropping. To make it feel more worth their while.

Regardless of the effect on circadian rhythm, I wonder if there’s any research on eye strain. I personally felt less strain when turning on dark mode or sepia filters, even in the evening.

Anybody have a good explanation of how the Cox communications case intersects with Net Neutrality? It seems like they would go hand in hand, a service provider has to provide the same service equally to all of its customers, regardless if they’re pirates are not. But I haven’t heard Net Neutrality come up in online discussions in a long time so.

Adam Connover and Dan Olson discuss one of Nvidia’s touted AI-in-games products which was similar to what you were saying. You talk on mic to the NPC, the NPC feeds your speech to its LLM, it replies back to give you a quest or something.

And then they come to the obvious conclusion: players would abuse the shit out of it.

That whole podcast is worth watching, they discuss a lot more than just games and AI.

Divine Comedy

Get yourself a quality translation, mine was kinda ass, don’t remember whose it was though.

If you’re looking for an adult novel about English magicians (and you looove lore dumping), read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell you’re gonna thank me on that one.

The author is way too generous offering their services to the Trump administration. The app is a massive security hole by design. This administration is not your standard business client, they are the attacker that you defend against.

If your adversaries buddies haven’t already done this analysis, they’re having a slow good week.

Science fiction author Neal Stephenson, who coined the term “metaverse” Metaverse inventor

That’s not what inventing means. That’s like saying George Lucas “invented” hyperspace.

This isn’t even the actual article headline, it’s “Head-mounted VR hardware will never happen, says Neal Stephenson - who coined the term ‘metaverse’”. OP?

replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built

Oh good, DLSS 5 for websites. Just what we needed.
