  Are you saying that it isn’t a picture of the cloud (or of an IA barrister in a British court)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bending Spoons to acquire AOL⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, thanks for digging that up. Looks like it didn’t pan out. At least in France, they arrived just as the local market was building itself, and it seems they didn’t manage to get a foot in the door. Maybe they got more lucky in other markets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bending Spoons to acquire AOL⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t ring a bell… not to say it didn’t exist, but it probably wasn’t very large at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Whatever the driving school had, I have no idea what car it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Now, dismantle this car and put it back together, you have one hour!

  They’re all going to be "dammit what time is it? Anyone got a calculator? "

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨card game shop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So that’s why they have those 48 hour protection deodorants, it’s for the Magic players!

  You just have to remember to cut off the little tip so you can go pee with it.

  Are you even description?

  Do the blackboards in the US also say “breathe in, breathe out, repeat” so that half the class doesn’t just die?

  No that’s silly, there’s no guarantee that they could read that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lies!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fast food implies fast drink, you’re not supposed to let it soak in there like it’s a hot tub.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump claims ​‘wind mills’ kill whales but quietly torpedoes the science⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What about the US navy playing with sonar?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet Mico, Microsoft’s AI version of Clippy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It does voices too?

  Well, you know…

  “Waves vaguely”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet the LLM seems to be what everyone is pushing, because it will supposedly get better. Haven’t we reached the limits of this model and shouldn’t other types of engines be tried?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a doom port I think.
  Of course there soon was a doom port for pretty much everything, so it’s not saying much.

  More like visicalc, really, but sc is close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussies go viral for booing American national anthem at WWE Crown Jewel event in Perth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an international event. It’s quite different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you ever want to talk to your computer beyond the obvious “oh for fucksake, now what” and “shit, that shouldn’t happen”?

  Big government is oppressing small businesses again! Thanks Obama!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thik a lot of the US stuff are things you have to grow with. If you taste them once you’re an adult, you see them for what they are and they’ll never work for you. Reese and Oreo being the obvious examples for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who wants a merkin?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s false advertising and might lead to prosecution.

  But if he stays in his current career, he’ll eventually be able to afford a second car, maybe. To dry his laundry in for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussies go viral for booing American national anthem at WWE Crown Jewel event in Perth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sports have anthems played in the US only since WWII because it was supposed to boost patriotism. Nobody else does that.

  You’ve got to catch them al, but now there’s an endless stream of them being generated by the Nintendo IA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steve Jobs unveiled the NeXT Computer on this day in 1988 — 'The Cube' would be used to develop the WWW, Doom, and Quake⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was at the NeXT presentation in Paris by Jobs (still got the t-shirt somewhere). Later I got to play with a NeXT station they lent us as our offices were next to theirs. It was a fun machine but the existing systems were too entrenched and it didn’t really bring anything different enough (and there wasn’t much software available).

  Nobody’s got that kind of time any more.
