    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Remains to be seen. Without VC cash, none of these things are remotely profitable. The compute is way too expensive. Compute, and the energy it requires, would have to get a LOT cheaper and Moore's Law is pretty fuckin' dead at this point.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    The biggest question is: why do we need this and what problem does it solve? A giant machine that turns out infinite crappy entertainment is what we already have: Hollywood and the video game industry. Even in the 'ideal' scenario where we end up in a world in which everyone gets their own...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    There aren't going to be exponentially more GPUs, exponentially more wattage available to power then, nor exponentially larger training sets. There's no intelligence trick at work here, this is all done with brute-force compute. Like yes, I can see some odd scenarios where we end up turning...

    Not liking a technology isn't misery. I think this technology has far more likelihood of producing more misery than producing anything that's actually good. This is just "two decades of overused CGI" cranked up to 11. I'm sick of fake, show me something real.

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    Planets and space are already linked in NMS. It's just that the planets aren't super interesting. If NMS is missing one thing, it's creating dynamically generated content that's actually fun. Not just the same ruin or wreck that you've seen a dozen times.

    Light No Fire - Hello Games

    Strong doubt the two games will actually connect, but LNF tech might end up in NMS at some point to make the individual worlds more interesting.

    Uh, calibrated properly this is not true, for gaming anyway. For media playback on most apps, HDR still sucks, but that's a software problem due to content owners distrusting PCs. https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N7F2SM5D1LR?rtc=1&hl=en-us&gl=US

    Yeah Nvidia literally is just a producer of intellectual property. It doesn't deserve to be a 1 trillion dollar company.

    Certain AMEX cards are giving $120 bucks back on any Dell purchase $599 or more. Then I've got 10% back from a different shopping app.

    So, I can get 240 dollars off the new Dell 32-inch QD-OLED. But do I really need yet another premium monitor?!? Do I?

    I plan on keeping my direct S&P500 tracking equities. But everything else that's way above the trendline, gone at the next opportune moment.

    My current theory is that it's very unlikely that the indexes end >5% up from where they are right now so I've started selling shit and putting it into 5.2% CDs.

    Cheated out of my youth

    At a party senior year, two male musician friends of mine got into a huge, nearly friendship-ending argument because this hot proto-emo/metal chick wanted to get fucked by both of them and then one of them suddenly wasn't into it. It was a 'both or nothing' deal. I called them both gay...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Warriors get the least new toys, but warriors are already super strong with what runes they've already got + what talents naturally unlock this tier. So, Warriors will probably still end up top 3 dps wise.

    Judas by Ghost Story Games

    Infinite definitely suffered from some cut content and a little rushing at the end, but it is one of the most well-realized games ever from an art direction standpoint, has probably the best voice acting of all time, and is extremely well-written. The combat was also very good, though not great...

    I don't options trade. Mostly because I can't figure out the interface. Options trades are like Sextants were in PoE. Just a bridge too far, or a river I have no interest in wading deeply into.
