I loved Hyperion even with its misogynistic parts,

Isn’t it strange that you can write a book about destroying an entire planet full of people and no one bats an eye; but if you include a political hot topic suddenly half of the population is protesting your book.

I would understand if he’s actively promoting an idea but I don’t think most books do that…

Alright, when can I get my 150,000 nitt television that’s viewable on the surface of the sun?

I realize this joke probably isn’t even touching on the actually use case of this technology, but it holds up.

Haha, there’s not much I wouldn’t buy at a 95% discount.

Playstation is next; Nintendo has the securist market with its portable console.

I would think hand helds like the steam deck would be slowly strangling it but the switch 2 sold like hotcakes.

Indeed. Death to consoles. A piece of hardware/software creating a gated community where you’re charged twice to use the entrance and then gaslit into thinking that it’s a necessary fee.

Oh, vigilantism against targets that weren’t even “verified” until recently.

However wrong I think your idea is; shooting up anything other than kids would be great.

Land of the free, not the land of free entry.

From what height am I allowed to drop off my child?

I mean… Solo meaning someone not in a pool? I wonder what this guy’s hashing power was? Was it a bit axe, or is it a simi-pro with tens of thousands of terahashes?

So now republicans are cool with the government telling businesses who they can and cannot do business with?

Democrats are cool with it too.

When it passed, 80% of the democrats in the Senate voted YES for the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986; which is the law that makes it illegal for business to hire undocumented people. It was later signed into law by Reagan. More Democrats actually voted yes for that bill than Republicans. The bill was even introduced into the house by a Democrat.

What a 180 the left has done on immigration.

Brings up an interesting idea of how to preserve watermarks on images.

Uh, can we do this experiment on someone else’s balls? Asking for a friend.

That is was too much for out. Lol

I just hated how it felt, if felt unresponsive and clunky. Like someone spent about 5 minutes in their engine creating the movement system.

I’m sure it was fun, otherwise no one would have played it. I’m probably in the minority on this opinion. I feel the same way about DayZ

Why forward instructions to an artist and wait when you can forward it to AI and get it instantly.

It would be very easy to make… But not as easy as describing what you need to AI and clicking a button.

I consistently ask LLMs things that I could Google; it’s just massively convenient.

I really never understood why PUBG was ever popular. It already played like a pile of slop without the use of AI.

I felt like a 90 year old grandma reading this.

I would bet you have to choose the date range and cause of death, and “murdered” is never one of those choices.

What kind of organism do you think the government is made of? That’s right - People.

Yeah people who hold a ton of power that can compel you to do something. The difference is a tech billionaire or your next door neighbor can’t approach the level.

People being in charge is irrelevant. If you’re argument is that human beings are imperfect and corruptable than every form of deterring racism cannot work; so I reject your idea.

Love how you called out the OC for “writing a book” but then go off like this.

I love how you loved the joke, and didn’t get it at the same time.
