All of the games you listed here were pretty under hyped IMO except for perhaps Silksong.

I understand this is all subjective, but I think you’re leaning toward like indie gaming hipster material with this comment…and that’s my opinion.

And if AI is going to be the last straw, how long can we put it off for? Could it pop next year or can we still hold it off for another decade with even more ludicrous number-fuckery? I think that’s where the trick is going to be.

The thing that boggles my mind in all of this is the possibility that Trump installs some absolute toady tool bag in at the Fed and then just has the federal reserve bail out all of the bad investments. It’d mean probably hyperinflation, but who cares about normal shmucks trying to live a life? It’s much more important to pay the genius, scammy billionaires so they can keep their mega yachts fully gassed and assed.

I remember the news reporting about record breaking amounts of mortgage defaults in like 2007 as well. The signs were all there, but people were too oblivious or high on their own supply of farts to see them.

Anytime people are like “we couldn’t see this coming” I never understand why they are allowed to pass that obvious lie off in public.

The AI bubble signs are in plain view everywhere you look right now. If (or much more likely when) it bursts everyone will be talking about how they couldn’t possibly see it coming again.

If people say they couldn’t see this shit coming, maybe their myopic asses shouldn’t be in charge of anything important ever again.

But I thought Repubs liked Russia now.

Why is the r backwards?

Yeah, I get very good sound out of class d amplifiers. They’re cheap; they’re energy efficient, and they usually pack in features for digital formats because it’s easy to do.

If a robotic taxi can lower the taxi category of accidents by 91% across the board, including death rates, then that’s a positive improvement to society any way you slice it.

The “if” in this sentence is a load bearing word.

With today’s crew running the policy, I don’t think anyone will prevent corporations from unleashing completely unsafe robotic taxis on the public that’ll perform well worse than regular ones. I really wish people would stop making this argument to the corporation’s benefit until we have some data backing it up.

I get that there’s a theoretical possibility that still imperfect robotic taxis could outperform humans, but that’s just theoretical.

With the way corporate accountability is handled (i.e., corporations aren’t held accountable) nowadays, I just don’t see robotic taxis as much more than an accountability sink and at this point I’d prefer taking regular taxis because at least there is someone to fucking hold accountable when things go wrong.

The main problem I have with computer programming AIs is: when you have a human work on a problem for a month, you drop by every day or two to see how it’s going, clarify, course correct.

In my experience, when they have me (a human) work on a problem, they sit me in dozens of hours of useless status meetings asking how the thing is going weekly or even daily, then they continually try to add months more worth of requirements in those meetings as well.

You’re not wrong that AI makes human style mistakes, but a human can learn, or at least generally doesn’t have to be taught the same fucking lesson at least once a week for a year (or gets fired well before then).

This is the point nobody seems to get. Especially people that haven’t worked with the technology.

It just does not have the ability to learn in any meaningful way. A human can learn a new technique and move to master simple new techniques in a couple of hours. AI just keeps falling back on its training data no matter how many times you tell it to stop. It has no other option. It would need to be re-trained with better material in order to consistently do what you want it to do, but nobody is really re-training these things…they’re using the “foundational” models and at most “fine-tuning” them…and fine-tuning only provides a quickly punctured facade…it eventually falls back to the bulk of its learning material.

This is my take with it too. They seem to be good at creating “high fidelity” mock-ups, and creating a basic framework for something, but try to even get them to change a background color or something and they just lie to you.

They’re basically a good tool for stubbing stuff out for a web application…which, it’s insane that we had to jump through all of these hoops and spend unknown billions in order to get that. At this point, I would assume that we have a rapid application development equivalent for web apps…but maybe not.

All of the “frameworks” involved in front-end application delivery certainly don’t seem to provide any benefit of speeding up development cycles. Front-end development seems worse today than when I used to be a full-time full stack engineer (and I had fucking IE6 to contend with at the time).

Of course you are buddy, you’re twelve.

Why the fuck would anyone use a guid as a hostname?

My favorite I’ve seen in the category was when they had hostnames that were basically the IP address decorated with some bullshit. Like yeeeeeeeeah, that totally makes fucking sense. 😆

That’s great we really need to get the AIs playing the game for me so I’ll have more time to spend on things I enjoy: like standing in the bread line.

Lol

It’s obvious that Windows and Microsoft remain as evil as they were in the 00s when they basically singlehandedly held back web development with ie6 for a fucking decade.

I sense my IT career is over

Me too. Honestly, even if it never deflates I think long term I’m out.

Is there anything we can do with these skills other than enrich billionaire tech bro assholes? I tried very briefly tonight to look for nonprofits that are looking for software people and saw nothing but search engine mismatches.

Donald the wannabe king posts video in which he shares with the world that his incontinence is so bad and his diarrheas so plentiful that he could cover 2% of America’s total population with the contents of a single one of his manbaby diapers.

You will own nothing and love it, feudal peasants!

This lady seems like such a fucking idiot.

Sounds great, like these kids nowadays know the key to a healthy masturbation routine
