What? Bill Gates is a fine person. I know this because the decades long multi mullion dollar influence campaign to make me think this has been working to perfection! What about the…

It is not true at all. I have already seen more new styles since summer from Stable Diffusion than in the last 20 years of going to art galleries. Every artist has their influences…

Yea how stupid. Everyone in this thread has already recognized how many faces so far today with their eyes and nothing blew up? Look at the personal computer? It is just a better p…

I just picture someone worrying about people dialing phone numbers while driving in the car in 1990? What a stupid thing to worry about since obviously the cord won't be long enoug…

Yea that is just not going to happen. I have dated so many divorced and separated women that just couldn't deal with the video games anymore. Way more so than financial problems. F…

To me, happiness as we age is making sure that we still have dreams and goals. My goal is to make my 50s the most exciting and interesting decade of life and then try to top it in …

I am curious too but the article is in the style of an English major and I just can't stand that style of writing. It is like the literary equivalent to guitar shredders. I know he…

The main problem is Meta has no imagination and is just going to play it safe and G rated. The killer VR apps are all in creating a rated R type Metaverse that is seedy and dangero…

Brilliant. All the American kids can hire Chinese students to take tests for them because it will be a great lesson in how the real world operates junior! So many utterly ridiculou…

Hundreds of thousands of people screaming at each other. It really needs a better model because the idea of scaling up the town square is just a terrible idea.

From Introduction To The Theory Of Complex Systems: • Complex systems can exhibit a rich phase structure and have a huge variety of macrostates that often cannot be inferred from t…

I will not be surprised at all if many of these words are simply not used in 10 years. Stanford is about as influential an institution as we have. When tarball and gray hat are see…

All kinds of bad possibilities. We seem to also have a bias that Russia and China are just automatically allied and there can never be a war between the two.

Yea, this is the fitness industry. 30 years ago it was a guy in a magazine on every drug known to man that would claim the reason for their size was Muscle Mega 3000 and then on th…

Their 2021 financial report is literally comical it is so bad for a company that should have been printing money. I can't stand Musk but my god did he give the shareholders a free …

I am just too old for NFTs but I can completely understand how that is cool having grown up collecting baseball cards. There is really no valid argument that paying for a jpeg is a…

Pretty much irrelevant where I am at. It wasn't even on a main TV station and then they cut the coverage to go to NFL coverage right after the penalty kicks. The biggest problem is…

GPT4 stories might be a huge feature. Usually when I read a story about something I know quite well the reporter gets things wrong or at the least you can tell they are a journalis…

You clearly don't like art then. Stable Diffusion is the greatest artist ever and it isn't even close. We are at the art singularity. I made a logo for the first time with it the o…

I am pretty sure the big sticking point is Carmack thinks they should be doing the opposite of putting out $1500 headsets. He was pretty much taking shots at people during his Meta…

You first have to define what playing field are we talking about? The playing field in this context is basically latency arbitrage. Who cares what hedge fund is collecting what alp…

I worry though we are trying to fix something that isn't really broke. My first Scott Trade brokerage account years back cost $7 a trade per side Now I pay absolutely nothing. Ever…

A problem though is how real world social networks operate. People love to gather with a bunch of strangers over coffee or at restaurants but have absolutely nothing to do with eac…

Exactly. We don't have virtual reality at all. We have virtual remote viewing with sound. We are basically at the Eliza stage of VR with a bunch of people pretending Eliza is not t…
