Something similar happened in the late 1990's when a PlayStation memory card was being sold with pre-loaded save data for a dating sim game ( Tokimeki Memorial ). Konami claimed it…

I once played an indie JRPG that took inspiration from Cordwainer Smith and some other authors. It's untranslated but the Santaclara drug is a usable item that acts like a Phoenix …

Recently I've tended to look at mid-2000s Web 2.0 as a source of nostalgia. It was back in the day when twttr felt like people were optimistic about building a new community for th…

I think of it like: The only reason humans still drive cars is we have yet to find a good enough way of replacing ourselves with something more effective. It's merely an implementa…

This is really clever. "Football Jesus" is "Tebow", so I am now happily exploring the Tebowverse. There is even a robot incarnation named "Tebot".

What worries me is the same dev has another title released 3 years ago that's still in EA. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307550/Craftopia/ Given Palworld is the new thing I d…

It's sort of the same thing with "all regulations are written in blood", right? For example, many of the current set of laws, regulations and best practices that prevent people on …

I get mixed feelings when reading this comment while remembering the many people gushing about how they formed lifelong friendships through what.cd.

> AI's do not make a copy of the source material. It very much just adjusts their internal weights, which from a broadminded perspective, can be seen as simple inspiration, and not…

Maybe someone who doesn't like Sourcehut or Drew for some reason.

And this time it's not only driven by larger media organizations, but also by random people who now have a chance to propagate their views from decreased barriers to entry. I belie…

Reminds me, I played Genshin Impact once and I was struck by how brief the opening cutscenes were. Given it was a fantasy epic I sort of expected a bit more introduction to the cha…

I think this is the main problem that will increasingly come into focus. OpenAI has one of the fastest-growing software releases in history. It's kind of insane how after a year th…

At first I thought this was the 48GB card that had been rumored for a while, but it turns out it's just a sanctions-compliant RTX 6000 Ada for export to China. https://www.tomshard…

An interesting documentary on this subject: https://youtu.be/tiKWvgxLYe0

The Adventures of Cookie & Cream had dynamic splitscreen based on progress through the level, and that was released in 2000. Plus I believe there was an (uncommon?) feature where t…

It's like imagine there's this force of nature that grants people astounding insight on all knowledge of the universe but causes the suicide rate to skyrocket because nobody is mea…

I don't know if it's the same "noise", but for a period of months I used an extension that replaced the New Tab page. When you do this with Firefox it pops up a notification the fi…

What seems most likely to me, at least before AGI is invented, is that the human will ask the LLM for strategies to make money under pressure, it will suggest something unethical, …

Yes, but I did want to sync my installed extensions, just in a way that the extension layout was preserved without further intervention, and not interrupting the initial flow with …

Last time I tried sync with Firefox it saved all the extensions I installed but not the customized layout I used, so every time I installed Firefox I had to redo my toolbar again s…

It's been that way for years: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20351 I lost hope it and other issues would be fixed and moved to Chromium on Android.

I think it is worth asking what is cut out of the artistic process when you delegate to a black box as this piece has. In my opinion it is worth demarcating AI art from handmade ar…
