The Sims was aimed at women since 2. Do you remember their urban attempt during the PS2 era? They all looked like bratz dolls.

Keep in mind it's Miami. The sighting may have been from a pouch they were all smoking from.

If you read the papers for AI it looks very Chinese, Korean, and white.

I do expect that there will be a lot of "AI" promotion. That's a bunch of fake stuff that is AI, but not what anyone wants.

"We do your taxes... With AI!"

This window cleaner was designer with AI

We'll find your perfect fit with AI... Wait that's already been done.

I also expect the big names like Google, Adobe, Microsoft, even Autodesk will be talking about AI a lot. They will have something like Gemini which looks cool until tested. Autodesk is promoting AI and I honestly don't know what will come of it. Stuff like Fusion and Revit already use a ton of AI to do stuff. Being a basic engineer or architect won't need a ton of work because the program already does it. Most people only need basic work, so I expect some stuff to get interesting.

I expect business execs to demand AI in stupid places. Website design with AI works, but not if it's shoehorned in. The same will go with cars telling you the route based on bad AI. My GPS gets drunk regularly anyway.

Most big companies are only big because the investors want them to be big. There is some old ideas here as well as better ways to obfuscate the money Laundering. The smaller businesses won't need bureaucracy, and can adapt quickly to change. The investors will demand more from them though. You end up with a submarine that shouldn't be going out joining the Titanic in the world created by idiot investors.

I think we'll see a slow drop in company sizes based on closeness to tech and entertainment. Videogames will be the canary in the coal mine on what will happen and how people respond. Porn is too scared to be in the spotlight. The further away they are from that, the slower it will take. Videogames have tons of problems, and can almost sink itself several times. However, one good designer can change everything. I think stuff like VR have failed because everyone making stuff wants to be cool, but don't have the talent to actually do it.

Companies like Google or Apple expect to ride the AI thing to victory. Apple thinks they will own VR soon. Academia thinks they will get hired out for all their discoveries, but don't look at how Hugging face and others don't care what uni promoted the paper, only that the code is available and works. It's going fast because so many are ignoring the usual academic publishing paradigm.

I expect a ton of prestige and praise to shoehorned and fake AI by the usual suspects. I also expect them to be out of a job by next year. We are at video making abilities now. Within a year, we will see films made using only AI by some fan. Hollywood will try to bring in, "producers of color and AI" and it will go over like the Marvels.

I could go on this subject for a while, so I will stop.

It takes a lot of work to get an average, let alone ugly, person in an AI image. Sure, they might have three hands, but they are sexy sexy hands.

I was an anthropologist studying videogame culture when it began. I came on from an analyst point of view, but then realized I agreed.

Nice. I did Michael Jackson.

The movie Gandhi skips a bit, but follows the history pretty well.

Its back up, every now and then the site doesn't show up. I've learned to just be patient. I have it archived and placed in my notes now.

Kathleen Kennedy has been around since the 80's. She has been a major producer for the movies. It really does look like she has no clue how Lucas made movies so well, and thought it was all her.

Yes, he would be alive for a few more years after this, and then be assassinated for proposing peace between the countries.

Life on Mars is a bunch of short stories.

There is a book being edited called Our Life on Mars, but it's not out yet. The main character is a scout for a construction project on Mars. He sets up the camps, places all the needed equipment, and runs an arcade for the crew. Internet characters have decided to mess with the construction, and he is trying to figure out the trick to everything. I was an alpha reader for it, and enjoyed the read.

I was an anthropologist studying intercultural history and videogame culture. It was a lot of fun. It's part of my personality.

When I was in middle school I hung out with gangs to compare medieval knights and modern gang warfare.

As someone with degrees in anthropology and history, yes we can tell by the skeleton. Heck, we knew how many times Lucy had children and what she normally ate.
