- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 23 hours ago:
This here is one likely answer. One other (less likely) might be insurance, although I would have to strain my imaginatiom quite a bit to come up with an explanation that nakes insurance a good reason to do this for a christmas party vs. a regular drive to work. Maybe they want to prevent “fraternization” by making clear “we know where your rental cars will spend the night”? ;)

Even assuming your observation was universally true (which I doubt, I firmly believe people can irreversibly deteriorate) - there are circumstances that can prevent you from reaching people. To name the immediate two that come to mind:
- lack of “alone” time that they will spend with you due to family / spouses / jobs
- you simply do not find the key (again, assuming it exists) to “peel back” their layer of anger and frustration that clouds their objectiveness

Gen X here, sadly can confirm :( I see what used to be friends turn into selfish people, ignorant derps or conspiracy/russia shills. Or a combination thereof. It’s depressing to watch this process up close and have no antidote.

is this “AI” you speak of in the room with you right now? If you believe that machine-learned pattern recognition and word prediction algorithms are “AI”, you shouldn’t be left anywhere near a compiler or production code.

That’s like asking the world’s best FPS gamers to “just try an aimbot”. Actual programmers do far better than a machine-learned bullshit printer.

- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 1 week ago:
It does feel dreamlike. To be honest, the story is not that much of an issue that forgetting it to be able to replay it for the first time is such a huge difference. But it is enough about story-telling that I only replayed it once after some months, and then shelved it. Definitely atmospheric and suited for children, too.

- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 2 weeks ago:
It’s good enough to answer most questions and it will only get better.
Reality indicates the opposite.
Even if it is not AI it is a tool that knowledge workers use and will need to stay competitive.
People who use machine learned systems to handle “knowledge” will dilute actual knowledge with billions of factual errors and fuck up mankinds knowledge base.

it’s nit AI, regardless of how many idiots repeat that bullshit. It is machine learning with glorified pattern recognition.

Why would anyone want to enter the market? It has no practical use that justifies the energy consumption. Because it is not targeted, for every individual application, there are much more efficient ways to accomolish the same/better results for much less energy.

- Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990? 2 weeks ago:
No idea, sorry - first time I hear this. I do recall a game that was a hex listing to type from a gaming magazine that had a yellow player sprite, could have been a bird. But we gave up hand-typing the listing into a hex editor half-way so I never got to play it :(
- Comment on Great games you would recommend from before 1990? 2 weeks ago:
To add to Bubble Bobble some C64 games: Tom Thumb Gianna Sisters (best) Rainbow Islands Katakis Armalite
Oh and the good old AD&D games: Hillsfar Pool of Radiance Curse of the Azure Bonds Pools of Darkness
Not sure if before 1990: Loom, Indiana Jones 3
Amiga 500: Silkworm (2 player coop, I thought it was a banger back in the days)

You promote hate against people based on what family they were born in. That - minus the actual violence - is what the Israeli government(!) is doing to the Palestinian people.

You are missing something. Multiple things actually.
- most content isn’t uploaded by the copyright holder (e.g. TV excerpts)
- demonetized videos will still have ads (at least for people without ad blockers)
- videos are used for machine learning without credit to authors or financial compensation (especially without consent when it’s not the copyright holder uploading them)
