Haven't seen this guy in ages. I see he still does the stupid open mouth face as he watches something to react to.

If his grift works, good for him. Not my cup of tea though.

To each their own, I guess.

Personally, I prefer my indoors. If I want nature, I'll go somewhere to experience it.

How elaborate are these ID systems? Do they connect in real time with a government database to verify, or they just trust the image?

If the latter, an AI that generates ID images is in order.

No yard means more indoor space, right? I'd rather have that. Grass requires maintenance, and feels like a waste of a fine personal office or private gym.

It would be the same as in 2008. Everyone with money would buy, centralizing real estate even more into fewer hands.

I use Brave and see no ads without paying anything.

The readout is meaningless

It's not meaningless. It measures nervousness. It can be useful if the interrogator knows how to use it strategically.

That's not hate. That's love.

And now the HarmlessYardDog is forever libeled on the internet record by X.

A continent of vassals.

Nicely said, and true in more ways than one.

Obviously, it's all deterministic in the end. The structure is a graph, not a tree, but yeah.

My point is that the term AI originally meant a non-sentient program designed to give the appearance of sentience. By that definition, game NPCs are AI, and so is ChatGPT, at least when it’s not insisting it’s non-sentient.

What you're talking about is the generation (or confabulation) of "new things", that are a staple of neural networks. That is indeed what today's popular use of AI is.

I was arguing from the perspective of the original definition. I don't like how marketing perverted the term in popular culture. As a previous commenter said: language is important.

If we're being pedantic, LLM's are AI just as NPC's in a game are AI.

The artificial in Artificial Intelligence doesn't refer to it not being organic, but that the intelligence is artificial as in fake. In other words, AI refers to a program that attempts to pass of as sentient without it being so.

People conflate AI with sci-fi ideas of electronic-based sentience, but that's not what the term was originally. AI was co-opted by marketing and the definition diluted.

I'm not tipping 50% or 100%.

I wouldn't go to any place that expects that. I already see tipping as a sign of labor exploitation. Informal income is income that can't serve to grow your financial credibility. It's worse than a proper wage.

why can't the rest of the world be more like Japan?

We shouldn't emulate anything regarding Japan's work culture. The country's labor standards are so bad that they're literally dying out from it.

Surely, you don't want to encourage overtime even more than it already is in the US?

Perhaps the aim was to reduce under-the-table arrangements.

AAA has been creatively dead for a long time. I'm surprised people keep complaining as if they shouldn't have been over it years ago.

Small studios is where it's at. That's where the passion and innovation is.

Then the author is a fucking idiot

He's coping.

The rent prices in NY are due to supply and demand plus an expectations bubble, inflated further by the sheer amount of foreign capital put in real estate as store of value.

$11K is a lot more in India that in the US.

Sounds gay.

Like that ASCII tank guy in old YT comments.

I mean... let's wait and see if their next Zelda forces you to do the mouse thing.

If an Australian influencer defames me and I suffer damages for it, then yes, there should be an avenue to address that legally. Otherwise there would be a failure of justice.

Back then they were too hung up on legitimizing their hardware gimmicks.

Perhaps the persecution after his first term broke him and now he's only after himself.

Perhaps he was always this way and people were too hung up on the fight against immigration and cultural marxism to see any further.
