The catarrhine who invented a perpetual motion machine, by dreaming at night and devouring its own dreams through the day.
69%? N… … …nevermind. 🫢
Serious now, I wouldn’t be surprised if USA’s video game industry was suddenly gone - because for countries not directly caught in the tariffs war, businesses outside USA (like Sony and Nintendo) will get another competitive advantage.
If anything, printers today are worse than they used to be in the 90s. For example, I don’t remember chips preventing you from using third party ink being a thing back then. So I believe the printing industry mafia has been spending those decades adding antifeatures to their designs.
And IMO it highlights how much we [society in general] need open hardware.
If I need to prove something stupid and immoral, and it relies on the assumption that 2+2=5, then 2+2=4 is woke propaganda. Simple as.
And one of the muppets behind Reddit, kn0thing.
As I mentioned in another post, about the same topic, he’s tying a sinking ship to another. So both can sink together.
Musk said the combined company will “build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.”
The funniest part is that this might not be a lie - I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk genuinely believed that.
…let’s get real. xAI’s main product is Grok, a text and image generator. Twitter is basically a blog platform for the sort of people who whine “WAAAH! TL;DR!”. Merge both and you’ll get what? Automated shitposting!
Which is also how Digg v4 ended up, the brands as content submitters.
Exactly. Almost like Reddit decision makers know how Digg died, and yet they’re unable to not follow its steps.
Cordwell and Barker expect user growth for Reddit to stall in 2025 and, as a result, see revenue growth becoming more reliant on making the platform’s proposition more attractive for advertisers.
This won’t be even remotely fun for the people still using that platform. Because “making the platform’s proposition more attractive to advertisers” boils down to either more ads or ads that are more obnoxious, more disguised as content, more targetted.
Etymologically “agent” is just a fancy borrowed synonym for “doer”. So an AI agent is an AI that does. Yup, it’s that vague.
You could instead restrict the definition further, and say that an AI agent does things autonomously. Then the concept is mutually exclusive with “assistant”, as the assistant does nothing on its own, it’s only there to assist someone else. And yet look at what Pathak said - that she understood both things to be interchangeable.
…so might as well say that “agent” is simply the next buzzword, since people aren’t so excited with the concept of artificial intelligence any more. They’ve used those dumb text gens, gave them either a six-fingered thumbs up or thumbs down, but they’re generally aware that it doesn’t do a fraction of what they believed to.

Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you’ve triggered a lot of programmers.
The meaning kind of clicked to me the first time I’ve seen the word and tried to pronounce it - it ended as [ẽ.'ʒĩ 'ʃis], the first part is close enough to English [ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] ⟨engine⟩ that the association was obvious. ([ʃis] is just the Portuguese name for ⟨X⟩.)
I know that URL.
I’m not surprised. And I heavily recommend people to ask questions about a topic that they reliably know to those assistants; they’ll notice how much crap the bots output. Now consider that the bot is also bullshitting about the things that you don’t know.
If a billionaire slapped someone’s face, I’d expect Forbes to narrate how the second person cruelly hurt the billionaire’s hand with their face.
OpenAI was not the first domino, just the one that got the most attention.
Yes, that is correct. And perhaps it got the most attention because of all the ruckus Pigboy did over “his” precious data (i.e. users’) + because it made the whole thing hard to ignore.
Remember when you bought shit once and that meant you owned it?
Yeah. I was talking about this with my mum today - the chat started with my cat refusing litterboxes, then “if this was the 90s old newspapers would do the trick”, then on how you don’t really own books you buy from the internet (unlike pirated ones). But it’s the same deal with some physical goods, if someone can brick them from a distance they aren’t really yours.
[Sorry for the rambling.]
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
This process has been happening since ChatGPT was released. And it’ll only get worse.
And when are those corporations get that people hate this sort of system? Ask Clippy.
For context, it’s somewhat common here in Latin America to name markets after the owner’s name; doubly so in smaller cities. (The city where this happened has 9k inhabitants)
It’s also common to name supermarkets “Super [something]”, to highlight that it sells general goods instead of just produce.
With that out of the way: seriously? Nintendo going after a mum-and-dad market in a small city in North America??? This only highlights that the current trademark and intellectual property laws across the world are toilet paper - they aren’t there to defend “healthy competition” or crap like that, but to ensure megacorps get their way. Screw this shit and screw Nintendo - might as well rename their company to Ninjigoku/任地獄, bloody hell.
Initially I was thinking on how this is such a blatantly bad idea. I don’t think that it’ll attract chip makers to USA, but instead send the industries relying on those chip makers to other countries. Because as the text says it takes years to build a chip factory, and those industries downstream simply won’t wait.
Then it clicked me - government debt. He might be trying to find new sources of income for the United-Statian government. They only need to last four years - if they ruin the economy later on, it is not his problem.
Yup, something like this - but for the honeypot, not for the legit pages.
I feel like I’ve been using this metaphor a bit too often, but: Nintendo is shitting its pants to make Pocketpair (PalWorld dev) smell. So far, the results of the litigation have been slightly bad for Pocketpair, but really bad for Nintendo - just the sheer amount of negative publicity is likely costing Nintendo more money than it could ever get from this turf war.
