This is why so much research has been going into AI lately. The trend is already to not read articles or source material and base opinions off click bait headlines, so naturally relying on AI summaries and search results will soon come next. People will start to assume any generated response from a ‘trusted search ai’ is true, so there is a ton of value in getting an AI to give truthful and correct responses all of the time, and then be able to edit certain responses to inject whatever truth you want. Then you effectively control what truth is, and be able to selectively edit public opinion by manipulating what people are told is true. Right now we’re also being trained that AI may make things up and not be totally accurate- which gives those running the services a plausible excuse if caught manipulating responses.

I am not looking forward to arguing facts with people citing AI responses as their source for truth. I already know if I present source material contradicting them, they lack the ability to actually read and absorb the material.

Lol AI generated teeth

I heard a coworker talk about how the CEO was going to testify against Nancy Peloci and they were old family friends or some convoluted story. So there’s that one floating around.

That’s why all the AI are trained on six fingered people- it’s Inigo still looking for his father’s killer. It’s like some kinda terminator spinoff.

This is a fantastic opportunity to allow parents to explain financial insolvency to their autistic child grieving the loss of their robot companion.

It’s really telling how their shiny new games are so lacking in substance that they are afraid of retro games. ‘Surely it can’t be that out generic mmofps crafting shooter collectathon battle Royale clone game is bad. It must be that damn Tetris game stealing all our sales!’

Ugh, I hate those missions.

Odd train of thought: what would the rolling coal equivalent be for an EV? Just wasting fuel for something that looks cool… So high voltage discharge under the car shooting lightning bolts? That actually sounds kinda cool, now that I think about it, but it is wasteful.

Same. I know my red flags, you don’t. If I were a used car I’d strongly recommend against getting it.

“Life started exactly once!” Well… For sure at least once. Could have happened multiple times since then too. Convergent evolution is also a thing, and perhaps some modern life forms can trace their origins back to a different starting point, but happen to have followed a similar enough path that it’s hard to say for sure. We know positively it happened once, but cannot conclusively say it has never happened again.

Nobody said Firewatch yet?

I’ll also add To The Moon as well. I could list more, but almost any game where narrative is the main focus and gameplay is secondary.

Yes, it absolutely will. That’s why I fragrance the pandas. Just a little here and there so that some Howard will need to sort through it. The lime really comes through clearly.

I don’t think bite marks last like that that long. My guess is the OP is the biter and faker.

I just got a new phone, and the ai voice assistant is actually good. It’s what people imagined it was going to be when they first came out. It doesn’t have access yet to a lot of things, so it can’t ‘act’ on things, but it actually gives consistently relevant info.

One thing I’ve used it for recently is I was in a game and knew there was a secret chest and it could accurately tell me what to do to get it Way better than looking up a video.

Not to mention the weight. Those premium vehicles with long range stats are very heavy. That’s what makes them so terrifying to me.

I was never really social to begin with, so I just resumed being my normal introverted self.

I have to do similar things when it comes to ‘raytracing’. It meant one thing, and then a company comes along and calls something sorta similar the same thing, then everyone has these ideas of what it should be vs. what it actually is doing. Then later, a better version comes out that nearly matches the original term, but there’s already a negative hype because it launched half baked and misnamed. Now they have to name the original thing something new new to market it because they destroyed the original name with a bad label and half baked product.

That or build something that can stand up to being hit. Tall order, but the inner armchair engineer in me thinks it’s like, totally possible.

No. Absolutely not. Lots of future tech comes from sci Fi fiction, which sometimes becomes real. Fiction about ‘what if’ scenarios give insight into how things could happen given certain events taking place, helping decision making for present events. Relationship books? I mean, those can be great examples of how healthy or unhealthy relationships work, and can help one identify the status of their own relationships. Fantasy books and sometimes a combination of the above, and all useful.

Nonfiction helps one understand what has happened. It gives context to the world we live in now, and what came before. Both are valuable, just in different ways. Reading anything helps your ability to empathize and think of alternative perspectives and is always useful.

Generally speaking, you learn more about how something works when the core functionality is exposed to the user, and just janky enough to require fiddling with it and fixing things.

This is true of lots of things like cars, drones, 3D printers, and computers. If you get a really nice one, it just works and you don’t have to figure anything out. A cheap one, or something you have to build yourself, makes you have to learn how it actually works to get it to run right.

Now that things are so comodified and simplified, they just work and really discourage tinkering, so people learn less about core functionality and how things actually work. Not always true, but a trend I’ve experienced.
