“Can’t compete with the global super rich? Lower your standards and be happy!”

It’s a missed opportunity to have Ferenti missionaries spread the Rules of Acquisition to Orions

Let’s make this AI boom a thud!

Save money and skip AI

A million ants escaped. From a radioactive site. Fuck.

But then I reread “cannibal” and realized that this problem will solve itself by dinnertime. This is fine.

Yeah, conservatives don’t think of the future except through the lens of the present. They can’t imagine a world with EVs and batteries because they have oil brains. They are looking for solutions to problems with an oil first mindset. Sunk cost is everything.

Timing. Saying common sense stuff before others gives you an edge and being the first to say it with any eloquence, in a way people want to listen and are accepting of what’s being said. A lot of what Cory Doctorow says can be hard to hear or hard to deliver without sounding condescending like NDT. His talent is in the delivery.

The same crowd that got “Do Not Drink” on bleach are the reason AI gets so many new headlines. It may never see broad adoption because it’s too dangerous to vulnerable people.

I always lock onto Picard in that gif and never noticed Riker nearly rolling his eyes as he walked away.

The window to understand this joke gets smaller every year.

Exactly! There is no cure for a thing which is not an ailment. He chooses to have no hair. Probably a lot easier and faster in the sonic shower. And can be on the bridge during an early hour red alert without having bed head.

So it’s a game which is out of reach for many to play much less enjoy. Good luck on sales! Makes more sense to make games for the most common system type, like old school video game publishers used to do with consoles. This is just sloppy development and bad management rolled together.

It’s really funny to see people who don’t have friendly personalities or understand what people want try to push tech that answers no real problem.

I don’t want VR to work in a virtual office from home. I want to be immersed somewhere fun or put in a situation that feels dangerous without the risk. Why do I want a boss to monitor where my eyes are looking during a meeting?

AR doesn’t seem like it has any purpose other than adding another layer of advertising on everything.

Now that you know how things shake out, start over. Each paragraph of your story has a “I didn’t know this” but “this is how the problem was solved”. Clear the goblin siege, get the levels, and go experience the story with characters who can handle whatever is thrown at them.

(And pick up some explosive barrels. They’re so handy.)

When did a Dem do it?

It’s the Republican presidential playbook.

Or the bot was actively excited that they are about to frustrate the fuck out of a meat bag.
