IMO I don't see why you get a second human involved. Store the database in an encrypted form... save a copy to some cloud service. Why count on another human for it

Or just on twitter, or parts of reddit, or the internet in general etc.. I mean there certainly was no shortage of outrage... with say the little mermaid etc...

Now I will admit a good portion of it is that producers have really gotten shitty on writing in general, and often try and compensate it by throwing in a less represented in media character. IE say the last 2 doctors, girl ghostbusters etc... IE things aren't terrible because of diverse casting, but if it is terrible, diverse casting isn't going to fix it.

same reason why every black person in all positions is considered DEI even when they have decades of relevant experience pages, graduated top of their class in ivy league schools, and some white guy with middling experience, possibly even in the wrong field... gets put in and nobody questions it.

It's something I find kind of amusing about Catholicism.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

I mean to me the whole concept of the catholic religion believing this is one of the 10 commandments. Then simultaneously praying in front of crucifixes or Virgin Mary statues etc...

I mean Jesus you could half way go with assuming trinity and considering him god... but it explicitly says "in heaven" and doesn't give any kind of "except of me".

Actually something kind of funny to me, it says "in heaven", "on earth" or "in the waters below earth". Assuming christian theology... the biggest exception that comes to my mind... is things that are in hell.

I've long since switched to foundry, but I used to use

It's not web based, but the clients are available for linux mac and windows,

that's true, but I think it's in the phrasing, they describe it as a shortage of human made content. the bigger issue to note is the lack of ability to identify human made content. IE you give it reddit and our e-mails, there's plenty of human made content on there... but nobody knows what percentage of it is actually bots or AIs.

Honestly I don't get how AI isn't rolling backwards already. Image sites are burried in AI slop. Social media posts are burried in AI slop, and now e-mails, that were probably written by AIs. How is AI even remotely improving right now, when obviously 90% of any new training data it's getting, was generated by the last generation of AI.

Maybe he's just Pichai is just really smart and trying to get the breaks slammed on the AI bubble before it pops.

Listen if this works the way you think it does, half the country is going to be out of work. CEO: but our company will make a lot of money right, someone else is going to do it eventually anyway.

OK, look if this works the way it is supposed to, we won't need you anymore!

Oh shit, hit the breaks, no more AI, it's all a bubble anyway.

did the original have a wedding ring... honestly the hands aren't what are burned into my memory.

Flying pig was too on the nose?

But then what leverage would horrible jobs have to prevent you from quitting if you weren't worried of starving? and where is the money to start more wars and fund failing nations like argentina going to come from if we spend all our taxes helping the american people

Umm... what the heck are these choice of examples. Mainly we are talking gaming VR devices. we can basically scrap the "metaverse", apple, microsoft, google glass off the list.

Virtualboy? we're talking an attempt to make VR in the days before anything close to a viable technology even existed.

Realistically the products I'd say are actually, modern VR gaming are more or less oculus, valve index, and maybe the playstation VR thing?

Really though, not a huge shocker that sales are declining, as a gaming niche, I don't see them as the kind of thing people are likely to upgrade on the regular. Least not unless/until someone majorly blows away the weight/bulk of them. Say take me, I'm probably a typical user, I bought a quest 2, about 3 years ago... happy with it.

am I buying a quest 3, nope, bought my son an index as a big christmas gift 2 years ago... is he going to upgrade his, probably not.
