So, what your saying here is that the A in AI actually stands for artificial, and it’s not really intelligent and reasoning.

Huh.

After Eternal, I’m not interested in this one. 2016 was fantastic, but Eternal felt all over the place. It tried to tell a story but skipped the entire second “book” between the two games, making it feel unfinished trilogy.

Then there’s the difficulty, easy was too easy, and normal was too hard. I shouldn’t have to choose between surviving 10+ hits (easy) or dying in 3-4 (normal). That’s not balance. And I don’t have the time to ‘git gud’ when the difficulty jump is this extreme.

Considering they already had to tweak difficulty in The Dark Ages, it looks like they’re still struggling to get the scaling right

Next you’ll tell me that cat’s aren’t white meat either…

Front Burner just did a podcast about all of this and how is similar with Nazi Germany. Mostly helps that this isn’t an American news outlet (it’s Canadian, part of CBC) about how they honestly spoke about it (Trump can’t threaten to take away their broadcasting license)

Today on the show is historian Timothy Ryback. Timothy is an author and writer with The Atlantic. He’s the director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague. Last year he published ‘Takeover’ which documents the ways Hitler and his enablers in the German establishment cleared the pathway to Nazism through constitutional means. He’s on the show to discuss - what he refers to as the “disturbing echoes” between Nazi Germany and contemporary America. Particularly between Adolf Hitler and US President Donald Trump.

Did they declare that the chemical doing that was fluoride? Because more and more states are banning that in the water.

Just checked and you are right. I’m so used to hearing “Pork, the other white meat” that I mis-understood.

Except that salami is typically made of pork, which isn’t a red meat. Most cured meats and sausages are pork based.

Oddly, reminds me of when Apple first pushed/forced HEIC on all of it’s users, without letting them know of course. Because of that, it caused thousands of students to fail their AP exams.

Sure it did… and judging from your previous rant, I’m sure it has nothing to do with you maybe reading much deeper into things that aren’t really there.

The big difference really is accepting a gift as the POTUS, and accepting a gift that they keep as a personal item.

Many presidents receive gifts from foreign nationals (with congressional approval). The big difference is they always had to leave it when they were no longer the president (they go to the National Archive). Trump already declared that after he steps down, he will keep it for himself.

Had someone in a restaurant ask the manager if they could turn down the music playing, they were in a business zoom meeting.

I was pointing out the irony, nothing more. Not every comment needs to be read too deeply into. Even my avatar picture is AI generated, it was from those blockchain AI generated reddit ones years ago.

The Feeling of Power might be close enough. It’s an Isaac Asimov short story from 1958. Basic plot is that people have become so reliant on computers, they can’t do basic math or counting. It’s about what happens with mental decline with making machines do all the thinking. (There is more, and the link explains the story but I feel that I shouldn’t include spoilers, even for a 50+ year old story.

If you want, you can read the scans of the original here.

Also, Dad’s Nuke touched on this kind of subject with people having get together and they have to make their own food and come with things like Jalapeno Pie/Cake(?) and other interesting dishes which indicates that people are already losing the ability to do basic cooking.

So… about his AI generated picture beside his name…

Defense attorneys claim that some of the body cam footage is missing including 20 seconds of when Mangione was being questioned by a police when an officer placed his hand over his body cam and the 11 minutes during which the backpack was transferred from the McDonalds to the Altoona Police Department Precinct. The motion goes on the state that once that officer’s body cam footage resumes, it shows her immediately re-opening and closing the backpack compartments she already searched and then opening the front compartment of the backpack “as if she was specifically looking for something. Instantly, she ‘found’ a handgun in the front compartment.”

As for the 2nd, the gun was only “found” after the body cam had been off for 11 minutes, and only at the police station.

Rockstar was a PC gaming company before they went into consoles. GTA 1 and 2 were made for PC before being ported to console.

Create your own 2nd/3rd account, and use the same emails but with the + option. https://www.streak.com/post/gmail-plus-addressing-trick (This works with more than just Gmail) So your main account is main@whatever.com, then your second account would be main+1stKid@whatever.com. This way you don’t have many different emails to manage, but Steam (last I checked) will see these all as different so everything can be managed by you.

DOGE already defunded that government department.

I’m curious what CPU was in it, as there aren’t any CPUs listed from 2019 that aren’t supported.

Things have changed since then. Steam not only has a Linux client, but also has Proton which loads most Windows apps (it’s marketed for games, but in reality it will work on Windows apps).
