Most entertainment industries have very strong union presence.

I'm fairly certain there would be no Classic WoW without private servers to show Blizzard there was a demand. They seemed embarrassed about the entire concept. Same with emulation,…

The problem with having a public trust score is that it'll be gamed by bad actors A/B testing their bots surely.

In a world where this is useful, you aren't going to be spending your precious battery on running an LLM...

I recently read the book "Invisible Friends," and in it, among other things, the author does go on to explain that it's theorised that many skin infections come from a lack of biod…

Even $5k/year seems insane to me for hosting what is essentially an IRC channel...

Humanoid robots are probably never coming. The fact is - flesh and blood humans pay for their own upkeep. Wear-and-tear, particularly on a heavy lifting robot, would probably be th…
