A few billion? That’s pretty optimistic

>This kind of “small town folk vs giant out-of-state corporation” fight is an automatic win for any state attorney.

Yeah maybe in movies

WeWork made their weird adjusted revenue number and everyone lost their minds. Facebook makes up KPI’s that fly in the face of decades of industry standard and we’re just supposed to accept it lol

“It was all a dream” nonsense IMO. It’s fun to play with that idea, but I’d find that a lame cop out ultimately.

Meh I liked it. In fact they shouldn’t have caved and added to it IMO.

Hell didn’t they stop even reporting DAU’s?

It helps when you have a hit like bastion be your financial foundation and you don’t have AAA aspirations though. A lot of those deals with publishers and such are because it’s that or the game never gets made (or worse, never finished). And despite how much folks scoff at AAA’s, idk man, it’s fun to play a tentpole title. It was fun to get excited for Ace Combat this year. I can’t wait for the new Metro game (I would say they’ve exited AA territory).

Not saying it’ll hurt me. I like VR here and there. Just voicing some issues as I see them.

I personally don’t like being so closed off to play video games. I like having a screen and awareness of my surroundings. Plus I’m often in voice chat with friends. Also, I don’t have to worry about things like sweat and grease on it.

I have the original PSVR and it’s been fun at times but the whole process of wearing the headset, getting it adjusted over your eyes, etc. Just always dissuades me from busting it out. I know things have gotten smaller, lighter, and easier, but nothing is as easy as simply turning on a monitor.

Seriously we’ve got Reddit now straight up translating foreign language comments with AI and without stating they did it. That is a massive decision to make, and I feel like no one cares.

There are many ways to tackle regulation that don’t involve giving the keys to fickle administrations.

That doesn’t really change the calculus for me. We can regulate whatever we want.

So you test every sip of water you drink? Inspect every road before you drive down it? Check every bathroom product for harmful additives?

Again I am not ignoring reality. But for society to work and for us to live our daily lives with any semblance of sanity, we can't be expected to be fully informed on everything we see, touch, consume, etc. We have to be able to make reasonable assumptions about safety and accuracy or we can't function. And the time it takes to vet stuff is often a privilege (or you can brute force pay your way to safety).

I do not rigorously audit everything I read on wikipedia. I assume a certain baseline of accuracy up to a point, with of course exceptions. Do you pull up 3-4 high quality sources for everything you read or claim? Are you that academic about it?

Because none of them make financial sense yet and as long as the music doesn't stop they're happy to delay and take investor money.

So “caveat emptor”? I get that’s always part of reality but we shouldn’t exactly steer into that skid IMO. It just shifts the burden to the rest of us and does nothing to address the root cause

Try clinking hyperlinks on any modern platform that A) don't try to open in-platform, and/or B) don't try to generate an AI summary of its content as the default rather than open it (looking at you Hubspot), and/or C) don't hit you with a modal that requires you to check a box in addition to clicking through.

It's always like this. Just keep adding layers of friction until people don't bother. Engagement is still the obsession.

Yes “kind of, that’s the issue though. Clearly the extent of the problem isn’t being acknowledged.

These are not parallel situations. Wikipedia is far more accurate and consistent, and a lot of the whiners whine because their personal politics make it hard to square the information on the page.

It sounds like she’s asking you for help and you’re suggesting using a different tool rather than helping. If you keep repeating that it means she either doesn’t want to or has trouble doing it. Just take care of the tasks dude lol

Those consequences never stopped blog spam previously. Won’t stop it now lol

My local news just did a whole special program on high profile plane issues/crashes. Modern ones, like over the last few years. I saw an ad for it yesterday I was just so grossed out by the flagrant fear mongering. Pieces like that have real world consequences.

They aren’t doing hard hitting journalism exposing negligence, they are making people terrified of planes. They’re stressing people out about something that is not reasonably within their control AND it’s not a real risk for us all. The numbers don’t support scaring people over this.

This is the stuff I come to HN for.

Nah. It’s not that essential (potentially “yet”)

That’s a very generous interpretation of “flying” tbh.

Guarantee you it’s more feasible with the insane investment we have been seeing than dc’s in space are.

We found rick and the two crows

The problem is it doesn’t matter if they perform better. If AI is just above “too shitty” and costs less, that’s what businesses will generally choose. And that’s the entire problem. “Good enough” reigns supreme for most businesses. In some cases that’s fine, in a lot of others it just tests our patience/tolerance and makes things painful.

This is just as bad as blanket hating/rejecting AI without ever trying to use or understand it. I don’t care what tools a craftsman uses so long as the job is done correctly/well. If you can somehow prove that AI is necessary for this that’d be impressive.

I find it hard to square treating that like such a red flag while supporting free open source software more generally. The entire ecosystem is rife with ethics/morals driving the initiative. There is a lot of flag planting and red line drawing.

People say AI or not, if the thing is good then it should be used. But if a group actively rejects it (which is valid even if I’m not that militant myself) it compromises the project suddenly?

You’re not following my point.
