Perhaps, but if there’s ever been a time to consider something that sounds hyperbolic, that time is now. The ramifications of what AI might based on events up until now are concerning.

You might want to check your link - it’s a template site.

I’m struggling to even leave the ghost pen on iOS.
Chazprime··on Additive Blending on the Nintendo 64
The Starfox explosions lack a realistic brightness level. They don’t appear to be emitting light the way the Playstation’s explosions do. Even the afterburner effect on Starfox’s ship looks muted.

Chazprime··on The weird afterlife of Xbox Kinect
I worked on the VFX of a movie in 2012 where we actually used a Kinect as a cheap Lidar replacement for mapping set geometry. Such a useful little device.

Chazprime··on Lawsuit proceeds over Amazon revoking "purchased" digital movie content
I don’t understand why the terms of “purchasing” digital content can’t specify a way to access content in the event that a vendor has to stop offering it.

Surely if the content creator is offering it for sale, it should be illegal to disallow use of it after being purchased.

Dear lord, Atari… just hang it up already.
Chazprime··on Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative
> Probably what you should take away from this is not “wokism gone crazy”

Perhaps not, but every year this rhetoric grows more and more aggressive - and thanks to social media - is now leaking into our everyday vernacular.

At what point do we say “this is enough” rather than hand-waving it away as yet another excess of academia?

Chazprime··on Atom was archived today
> VSCode is one of the greatest pieces of engineering of our time

I feel this is a slight overestimation of VSCode’s design.
