If they took my average Costco bill, ported it over to Whole Foods prices, then tripled it, I could retire.

Not all gambling is banned, and they are specifically calling out games targeting kids

Capable of what though? We have all the evidence we need that our parents and their parents are brain damaged. Maybe that kind of cognitive capability is bad and there’s a goldilocks zone to go back to.

Whether we like it or not, it’s not trespass and it wasn’t to spy on or eavesdrop. In fact the hidden camera in his house actually qualifies more, but likely wouldn’t qualify for gratification.

They get indoctrinated with all kinds of other bullshit. They can take some truth home.

It’s like tipping… It happens because we let it. It’s so incredibly common that literally poor teachers are paying for basic supplies the school doesn’t when they should look those kids in the eyes and tell them they are sorry and that their society and school have failed them and to go home and tell their parents to vote differently.

So you save 100 in taxes and pay 500 in printing costs… You’re down 400 for supplying your employer. Lol

This sentiment for a hobby is actually insane. Press X to doubt you can get that quantity or quality of entertainment anywhere else for what… Cents per hour in most cases?

If any solution relies on large numbers of people to make any sacrifice it statistically will fail every time. The solution must come from science, from a small group, that can scale very large with profit as it’s backbone to implement it. No other way is possible.

Totally depends on the part

Yup that’s exactly what I’m talking about. They need a benchmark for what it can do, not the size of a part or a made up size for marketing. Or just disconnect the specs from the marketing name entirely.

They should count up by some benchmark. If x/mm^2 doesn’t capture the improvement anymore, and they aren’t shrinking things much anymore, benchmark some common output.

So free from physics

While likely necessary, it’s a shame and far less logistically favorable, which in turn affects emissions.

Free always needs a qualifier… Free from what? Free from other people, for now… Free from physics? No.

It’s symbolic. They can call in state defense force and state police to apprehend them if they feel like they can claim they are committing crime. Then you see who does what. The only options are to escalate or capitulate.

Even in programming there are common feature frameworks. Having a system enumerate them based on a unified design vision from a single source architect rather than 50 different design ideas duct taped together could help a lot. I’ve seen some horrendous systems where you can tell a bunch of totally separate visions were frankenstein’d together, and the same happens in games where you can tell different groups wrote different sections.

It’s assuming the ai output isn’t very good. It assumes it can create a framework that necessarily still needs the actual writers, but now they don’t have to come up with 100% of the framework, but instead work on the actual content only. Storyboarding and frameworking is a hodgepodge of nonsense anyway with humans. The goal is to achieve non-linear scaling, not replace quality writers or have the final product Ai written.

I can see how it could be useful, or mandatory in future rpgs. It can generate a framework for a real writer, with extremely large amounts of logical branching, a billion times faster. Then you go over the top of it and use the framework as concepts to use or revise. This streamlines the process, unifies the creative vision, and allows for such a large game without procedural generation that would haven taken a team 10 years or not at all, done in 2.

The real problem is that we ever gave a shit about human bodies, especially fake ones.
