Sees article about a new and innovative embezzlement method. Concludes that they’re out of ideas.

And somebody buying from the scammer could get a legitimate card, thus allowing the scammer to blend in.

It would open up using Pokémon as an example of prior art in court.

He’s imagining them as physical things that can be hurt. And apparently, the voices can feel his violent fantasies. At least, that’s what’s implied by the story.

What’s that, and why should it be destroyed?

More like a terabyte.

In addition, we haven’t even come up with a definition of intelligence.

Well, we’re still at least one breakthrough away from AGI, and we don’t even know how it will go from there. Could be that humans are already near the maximum of what is possible intelligence wise. As in, the smartest being possible is not that much smarter than the average human. In which case, AGI taking over the world would not be a given.

Essentially, talking about the threat posed by ASI is like talking about the threat posed by Cthulhu.

AI companies are buying up all of the RAM in a futile bit to reach AGI.

They own a font, which is a way of writing the letters. Wondering though, how many Japanese fonts are there?

Same way you short anything else, you borrow it, sell it, and then buy it back once the price has dropped, and return it.

Investors could be bailed out. As in you invested 10e11$, so now the government gives you that money back.

Market cap is just share price times the number of shares. Can potentially be completely divorced from how well your company is actually doing.

She looks too fancy to be an adventurer. She looks like she’d be the onegiving the quest instead.

Just launch a ton of ball bearings into orbit, and end space flight for ever. Or at least for the forseeable future.

Edit: Bearing balls, actually. Ball bearings is where the bearing balls are. But we want them in orbit.

They’re the ones selling shovels in this gold rush, though.

Or a Bethesda style creation club is coming.

Cyberpunk 2077, overheard two NPCs sharing a joke:

What does a corpo say before he offs himself?

Reviews are mixed: not a great start

More than not a great start: Only people who have bought the game are allowed to review it, so reviewers are already biased towards liking the game, because only somebody who thinks they would enjoy the game would spend money on it. It’s basically impossible to get a strong negative score by just being run of the mill awful. So “mixed” means that about 50% of people who though they would enjoy the game, didn’t, which is quite damning.
