Reacher is a wonderful TV show that asks its audience to ponder how many situations they can think of in which a bunch of skinny dumb fucks think they can beat up what appears to be the human personification of the Ford F-350 SuperDuty

There could be a few dozen GDC talks with the core takeaway : try to release your game 2 months before a global pandemic.

Ladders and mirrors also don't work in actual video games, so nothing out of the ordinary here.
doing some more testing, ladders don't seem to work, the system started the scene without control, having her climb the ladder and did an interesting sort of side climb at the top but was unable to provide any control on actually using the ladder, additionally, transparent clothing collapses into photogrammetry-like solid forms, this definitely looks like more evidence of something beyond pure video gen, to me

I got some Buldak Ramen, and my wife asked how it was. "Good." I said, fanning my mouth, "But I wish it was like 30% less hot." She asked me why I just didn't use less of the sauce packet. Hand to god, I had never even considered it. Never even entered my mind.

This is one of those statistics that sounds great, but I am sure the number of caveats here make it way more complicated than this. IE, I’d imagine the vast majority of fatalities are bad weather/and or DWI related. You’re not using FSD during a snowstorm.
In the United States, there is a traffic fatality roughly every 79 million miles. Tesla FSD has now traveled 6.4 billion miles. Assuming it was no more or less safe than driving manually, you would expect there to be 81 fatalities with FSD on. As a matter of fact, with 14 million miles traveled every day you would expect to see a fatality with FSD on every 5 days. But that's not happening. As far as I can tell there are only ~2 reported fatalities with FSD active — both on much older versions. I'm forced to conclude that there are at least ~75 people who are alive today because of the work of the @Tesla_AI team. And we're just getting started. To give you a visual on that, if you put everyone in North America who is alive today because of FSD in a room together it would look like this:

I’m long self-driving as a whole, and I’m sure people will fight it well beyond the point that statistically everyone should be doing it, but we can’t compare an idealized version of it to all driving humans do. I’d much rather have people use FSD than drive drunk or 80 .

Have a work summit starting Monday. So far my plane isn’t cancelled, but not looking forward to the TSA line. I’m usually a ‘get to the airport 3 hours before a domestic flight’ kind of guy, but I kind of want to show up even more now.

It’s honestly hard to explain just how great of a champion and ambassador for the game Maro is. Very few brands have anyone nearly as dedicated or invested working there, let alone willing to put himself out at the sheer level of interaction as him.
If you’re at NYCC, swing by and say hi!

My head-cannon for all the Alien movies is that the Xenomorph has some kind of lancet liver fluke or Anglerfish-esq hypnosis that cause people to constantly try to research / harvest them irrationally since synths in the Alien universe are clearly just better for all purposes.

"Why does Weyland-Yutani continue to act so stupidly to try and control the thing that has turned on them 50 times so far and always ended in death when they have super powered cyborgs?" It's just the Call of Cthulhu, man. These CEOs see one Xenomorph and they join a death cult.

Gell-Mann amnesia is one of the most important concepts of the last two decades. Coined by Michael Crichton, it's the idea that you believe the news until you read a story you actually know about, get that they are totally clueless, then believe the next story without question.

People love to talk about this with the media, but the AI version of this is SO much more obvious. People will talk about how it will remove every job from existence and it's better at XYZ task than a real person, but if they look at something they know about, it's all wrong.

Overall, I am a lot more impressed and bullish on AI than most people, but I do also find it useful to get it to tell me information about things I know about to remind myself that the genius insights it has in other fields are not quite as smart as I think.
