Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness
  • I don't fear skilled professionals using GenAI to boost their productivity. I do fear organisations using GenAI to replace skilled professionals

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make
  • I'm almost never willing to pay current AAA game prices for a game that it's possible I'll be bored with after a few hours. I'd much rather spend the same amount on 3 or 4 well-reviewed indie games as the chances are I'll get at least one game amongst them that I'll enjoy investing my time into.

  • Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?
  • In the UK we at least still have most of the residual EU consumer protection law in place, so a lot of this kind of stuff that's common in the US would be illegal here. That said, companies still manage to innovate new ways to screw the consumer all the time.

  • British MPs want to haul Elon Musk before parliament over riots
  • I find it ridiculous that MPs, gov agencies, etc still have active twitter accounts at this point.

  • you shall not mention me
  • my pronouns are he/him')DROP TABLE Pronouns;--

  • A New Reality Show Will Pay Cash if Players Can Convince Experts the Earth Is Flat
  • I've often thought it would be fun to get a big group of Flat-Earthers involved in a scientific project to 'prove' that the Earth is flat. They're not allowed to rely on any existing science that might be biased towards 'Big Globe' so they have to start from scratch using simple instruments. Using existing maps and GPS are definitely out of the question. Have them conduct cartographic surveys and take astronomical measurements so that they can show that reality is inconsistent with a round Earth. Basically, see how long you can keep them going for before their brains break.

  • What Netflix has learned from its push into video games
  • One of the games you can download on Android with a Netflix subscription is Into the Breach. I played that game so much while I had a subscription. It plays so well on mobile and I wish I could just pay the devs to own a copy but sadly Netflix is the only way to play it on that platform. I doesn't quite seem worth resubbing to Netflix for one game.

  • Good resource for comparing MPs/parties
  • https://www.theyworkforyou.com/ provides stats about how your MPactually voted on different types of issues.

  • I Want Better Games With Worse Graphics And I'm Not Kidding - Aftermath
  • I just want games where the devs get to release the game they wanted to make without the studio enshittification microtransactions, always-online single player and so on tagged on to it.

  • How often do you upgrade your phone?
  • I know everything I've spent on video games/gaming hardware since 2016, and all the books I've read in the last couple of years.

  • How often do you upgrade your phone?
  • I'm the kind of nerd who tracks this kind of thing, so here is a list of the number of months between purchasing each phone I've owned, from newest to oldest:

    5, 44, 47, 28, 23, 18, 46, 40

    The first number is 5 months from my latest phone purchase to the present day. I'm not looking to replace this device any time soon. The previous two phones I owned lasted a decent amount of time, nearly 4 years each. Before that I was buying cheaper second hand phones that didn't last as long. And if you go way back, the final two devices are pre-smartphone era where phones were simpler with less to go wrong and less need to upgrade.
