If Meta actually stopped collecting data on users who instead pay them in a straightforward money => experience transaction this would be a great improvement. Except, of course, you know they won't.
Yes, and also I want to know how he fit these on the casings.
One read “Notices bulges OwO what’s this?” Unfired cartridges in the magazine allegedly read “Hey fascist! Catch!,”followed by five arrow symbols: one up, one right, and three down. Two others read “Oh Bella ciao Bella ciao Bella ciao ciao ciao” and “If you read this, you are gay lmao.”
I clicked it so you don't have to. He doesn't actually answer the question in the title, but the closest we get is this:
I had a couple people say [while I was streaming] that there was a guy on Twitter being like, “Charlie Kirk just got shot in the neck at the event I’m at.” And I was like, “There’s no way.”
He also talks generally about Kirk (who he was going to debate in two weeks), death threats he's received, and having to see gruesome stuff like the neck shot video.
Even lawyers can't get you out of trying to patent something that was clearly already in the market. Previously, Nintendo's patent lawsuits had been for specific mechanics such as throwing a ball to capture npc animals.
I thought him including video of a trump rally was too blunt, the audio was enough. I enjoyed the implication he was making about the game's difference between the US and south american superweapons, which isn't openly stated and doesn't have to be.
When Nazi alleged war criminals were held in Nuremburg, Captain G. Gilbert was assigned to the prison to serve as their psychologist. He administered Rorschach and IQ tests, and spoke with them at length. He came to the following conclusion:
“In my work with the defendants I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
It's a shame, because their launch site in Bowen is much closer to the Equator than the continental US. When/if they get it right, they'll be able to need far less fuel than US launch sites.
Remember how everyone was horrified when an authoritarian government like China forced everyone to disclose their identities to get online?
You're thinking of Korea, its government required every citizen to have a ten digit online ID until 2008.
Wikipedia has in some ways become a byword for sober boringness, which is excellent.
This is both funny and also an excellent summary of why Wikipedia uniquely has an incentive not to jump on the AI bandwagon. Like a bank maintaining COBOL decades after everyone else moved on, its (goal of) reputation for reliability means that there's a strong internal conservative faction opposed to introducing new disruptive features.
Every establishment candidate, worldwide, lost in 2024. There was a massive populist trend spurred by the pandemic lockdowns and subsequent economic inflation to pay for them all.
It is however not a triumph of filmmaking; it is a triumph of budget. None of the ideas or techniques were new it is simply that no one had previously thrown enough money and resources at propaganda on this scale before.
You can say the same for Star Wars though. Sometimes techniques are like actors - they aren't appreciated or able to shine until they can be supported by a big production and a director who knows how to use them. No-one praises The Godfather because they think it was Marlon Brando's first movie.
He's indicated he wants to give Trump a sentence of unconditional suspension, eg. a sentence of zero actual punishment but which nevertheless designates him a convicted felon.
The judge, Juan M. Merchan, indicated that he favored a so-called unconditional discharge of Mr. Trump’s sentence, a rare and lenient alternative to jail or probation. He set a sentencing date of Jan. 10, and ordered Mr. Trump to appear either in person or virtually.
An unconditional discharge would cement Mr. Trump’s status as a felon just weeks before his inauguration — he would be the first to carry that dubious designation into the presidency — even as it would water down the consequences for his crimes.
Unlike a conditional discharge, which allows defendants to walk free if they meet certain requirements, such as maintaining employment or paying restitution, an unconditional discharge would come without strings attached.
I played the first one, and found it to be extremely boring but with potential. Unfortunately, playing 3 and Syndicate afterwards showed me clearly that Ubisoft smothered the potential and cranked up the boring. The worlds they've created are certainly immersive, but they're also devoid of energy. 3 has a half-Native American protage who spends five minutes in his home village and then goes off to the colonies with barely a thought spared for his home, so when it's played for drama it falls flat because we haven't seen his relationship to his family. And Syndicate's characters had might as well be carved from soap with how crude and flat they are. There's a transgendered gangster from New York who joins the Assassins' gang, and he has absolutely nothing to add for the entire game. Characters with seeming potential come in, have one side quest, and that's their lot.
Unless you think they're particularly likely to escape, I don't see the difference between death and life without parole as regards "too dangerous to set free". The unabomber died in prison serving out that very sentence.
