Zuckerberg just wants to build his own universe where he's in charge of everything and everything costs money and there no taxes.

You can bet there were pitching ideas such as paying people with game money.

A lot of those plans very much in the "assume a spherical chicken in a vacuum" territory. They only work on paper, and tend to assume things like criminal gangs are randomly just sort of going to get out of the way and not interfere. Also there are no corrupt government officials, and the people you are trying to help actually recognise that, and respond positively.

I'm confused about what kind of response they were expecting to get. Were they hoping someone was going to link them a timu shrink ray?

It's got nothing to do with artificial intelligence, the writer of the article is just an idiot.

What quantum mechanical problem would an LLM be able to assist with? We don't understand quantum mechanics all that well so how would an AI trained on a data be any better? Truly stupid article.

So you can't actually solve problems. You can just look up previously solved problems.

What a clever idea to write the results of an experiment down.

Oh yeah I'm sure it's a totally grassroots movement.

Regardless of what JK Rowling is Harry Potter is a international sensation. It's insane that they're trying to remake it when it's what less than 20 years old.

There's plenty of good IP out there why don't they make something of that.

Look at the writers guild of America pretending they don't live in a fascist dictatorship where nothing matters but profits. How quaint.

The chances of this getting blocked under antitrust laws is roughly equivalent to me hitting oil in my back garden.

I really want to see a Dreamcast in a hermetically sealed bag. I will never get to of course because the sort of people who put dreamcasts in hermetically sealed bags are not the sort of people whose homes you want to go to.

Does anybody have any idea what this post is about?

My sister has just bought the world's most complicated food processor. To see it has like 500 different modes. It hasn't moved for making ice slushies, who wants that?

It has an app so you can control it from your phone. Who has ever needed to be able to remotely control their food processor, in what scenario would that be useful. I really don't understand the modern world. At least video doorbell sort of have a point.

The problem is if you have anything that obviously requires medical intervention, even if non-serious, they can't just issue a prescription over the phone, so you up having to go to the GP or A&E anyway, so why not just go there directly and skip the phone call?

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
