They are not resigning because they are ashamed of being pedophiles. They are resigning because they were caught being pedophiles.

If they were ashamed they would've resigned before the Epstein files were released.

This is not image repair. Musk shared starling in exchange for Russia's silence. But the files are out so Russia didn't do their end of the deal, so musk removes his end of the deal.

4k is noticeable in a standard pc.

I recently bought a 1440p screen (for productivity, not gaming) and I can fit so much more UI with the same visual fidelity compared to 1080p. Of course, the screen needs to be physically bigger in order for the text to be the same size.

So if 1080p->1440p is noticeable, 1080p->4k must be too.

I'm so confused. Why should teachers report injuries of chickens to a nurse?

I'm unfamiliar with french law. But I doubt you need a reason to divorce. If 2 ppl no longer have sex and they want to divorce over it, they probably can.

This is more probably about "we are divorcing because you refused to fuck me, so now you owe me something"

As I said, data cannot be racist. The methodology to obtain it might be.

But then you should not attack the data, you should attack the methodology.

Any good study will explain their methodology along with the data obtained with it.

How is data racism?

Data might lead to racism. Or data might show racism. But data is not racism.

It's the winter Olympics though. Some ice is acceptable.

First of all, I'm going to replace AI with LLM, since that's probably what you meant.

There are 2 distinct questions asked in this post:

  1. Why not use LLMs to provide different levels of automation? (Like, manual, medium, auto)

Answer: you don't need LLMs for that. You can just code it in like any other feature. It's not particularly hard, game developers know how to do it since they are used to programming automation for NPCs.

  1. Why not use LLMs to procedurally generate NPC dialogue?

Answer: games are primarily a form of art. NPC dialogues are written with a purpose. Different characters have different personalities. Some dialogues are meant to drive the plot. Other dialogues are meant to teach the player how to play. Others are meant to show the player things that they may have missed, or things that are interesting.

Procedural dialogues removes all the control from artists. They would all be generic npc n#473, with the "personality" of the LLM, maybe slightly varied if the developer writes a different prompt for each character.

Procedural dialogues would have the same issues as procedural world generation or photorealistic graphics, it would just not be interesting.

There is a practically infinite amount of Minecraft worlds, yet they all feel the same way. The thing that differentiates a Minecraft world from another is that which the player has built. The only part of the world that wasn't procedurally generated.

There is a great amount of photorealistic games. And they all look very similar. You may only distinguish one from another by looking at their handcrafted worlds or their handcrafted characters. But not by staring at a wall. You can stare at a wall in non-photoreslistic games and know what game it is.

So if you put procedurally generated dialogues, no one will read them, since you'll be bored by the time you read the same thing being said by 5 different NPCs from 5 different games.

Because the British empire was absolutely huge. Which lead to many countries having English as an official language. Which means those countries would conduct trade in English. Followed by American dominance, which also has English as its main language.

And that American dominance includes dominance in media, especially films because of hollywood. Technical documents, research and especially computer-related technical documents are mainly in English for the same reason.

Sure, English is not that hard of a language. But it's not the easiest either.

It didn't make me repeat the curriculum. The curriculum is the same for everyone.

I didn't use basque outside school, but I barely used English. Inside school, it was ~7 hours every day of basque. And ~3h per week of english.

Not research, personal experience:

Even after many years of school/high-school in basque, I learnt it at a way slower rate than English, which was just 1 subject.

I didn't speak neither basque nor English outside school. At most, the difference might be that I consumed a little bit of media in English while none in basque. But all subjects except spanish and English were in basque, so that should make up for the difference.

And I don't think it's just a me thing. Since the curriculum has mostly been the same for all those years of school:

Learn how to say a verb.

That's it. Many years of school just to say verbs correctly.

The exams where mostly just fill in the blank exercises, where the blank was a verb.

I still don't know how to say verbs that aren't the simplest ones.

So to your question I'd say yes. Even though neither are my native tongue, I learnt both since I entered school, but learned them at wildly different rates.
