I agree, I don’t think there’s anything Sony can do about the cost. Manufacturing costs aren’t going down over time like they used to in the past. That’s why there haven’t been any price cuts this gen.

I think the PS5 Pro was just a doomed concept to begin with. There’s nothing they could do to make games look noticeably better without making the console outrageously expensive or requiring devs to do an unreasonable amount of work to support it.

The two examples of misogynistic memes in this article are really tame IMO. It’s the type of humor that teenage boys have always had, long before the existence of social media. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think social media algorithms are having a major negative impact on society. But I don’t think content like this is the problem.

I don’t know much about GTA, but I have a hard time imagining GTA6 being anything less than a gigantic success. It doesn’t need to be a massive improvement over GTA5, it just needs to be a noticeable upgrade. The only way I can see it failing is if they get too greedy with their live service model, but even then it’s still probably going to sell like 40 million copies in its first year.

Agreed. Also this law can’t even be enforced. Unless they’re just passing this law so that abused influencer children will have legal grounds to sue their parents. But we should be passing laws to prevent the abuse in the first place.

Good choice

So you’re saying instead of tacking “site:reddit.com” onto my Google search, I can now use ChatGPT to get the same information, except without the original context, and it will often be wrong? Amazing!

And this also means that companies will fill Reddit with fake comments promoting their brand to ensure that their brand gets mentioned in ChatGPT responses, right? Can’t wait!

damn I forgot about NFTs. That shit was funny

I watch The Needle Drop on YouTube. He’s a music reviewer. I don’t necessarily agree with the idea of being so critical of an art form that’s so subjective, but following his channel is a great way to stay up to date on noteworthy new albums coming out.

I just recently saw Triangle. Definitely an under-appreciated movie. That one shot after she chases the girl to the top of the ship is S tier horror. Great ending too.

What game is this from

I don’t see the problem here. Microsoft knows that people will freak out if Bing hallucinates something controversial that people will disagree with. If you care about the accuracy of the information you’re looking for, you should find primary sources, not use AI. AI often gets things wrong.

No matter what Google does, people are going to come up with gotcha scenarios to complain about. People need to accept the fact that if you don’t specify what race you want, then the output might not contain the race you want. This seems like such a silly thing to be mad about.

I’m excited to try lab grown meat when it’s more widely available. It’s one of the few upcoming technologies that I can actually fully get behind.

So to clarify, this is saying that if you’re logged into your Google account in Chrome and you launch an incognito window, your browsing activity will still get associated with your Google account, which will affect your ad recommendations? Is that right?

Isn’t the name of the club deliberately provocative though? The only reason you would call it the Satanic Club would be to make Christians mad. Seems like trolling to me. Articles like this are exactly what the club wants.

This article isn’t really saying anything. It’s just saying that a lot of people feel like the job market has gotten tougher, but we don’t have any solid evidence to prove that.

Personally, I recently got a new software development job, and it was offered to me from the very first company I interviewed for. (This is out of the ordinary for me, as during past job searches it took me several interviews before I got an offer.) Did I get a job quickly this time because the job market is better, because I’ve become a better candidate, or because I got lucky? It’s impossible to say. Anecdotal evidence doesn’t really mean anything when it comes to market competitiveness IMO.

I consider Gorillaz to be mainstream. Or at least Demon Days was mainstream.

Why not just have all of that open on one desktop? Is it because you want your personal stuff to be hidden in case you need to share your screen?

They could add some kind of warning message that notifies you when the URL has unicode in it. Then the user can decide if they want to disable the warning or not.
