Marketers explicitly and silently rebranded AI to AGI, a term that I think was literally just made up. I think they should have been reversed, llma deserve a new term, but not AI.

But you see that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that they knew some new term would fall flat. They wanted investors frothing at the mouth - so they just changed the definition of AI to make that happen.

Non-story. Head of streaming giant says streaming is best way to deliver movies, more ads at 11.

The fact that they’ll probably still get to own firearms is what gets me. God this country, where you shoot a KID and they still think you’re allowed a gun. Fuck that. You SHOT SOMEONE. Mistake or not that’s on you

Yep just enough users, and your basic info set. It talks about it in the docs

I’ve learned all AI marketing is greatly embellished, focusing only on best cases. Sure, it can solve a coding problem, if you work on prompt for an hour, give excruciating detail, and run it a few dozen times

the bill that was passed essentially said that warrants are no longer needed for data because “save the children”.

That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3

This is one of those things I stay out of.

It’s not healthy for kids. But they enjoy it. But it’s definitely used by China for spying. But people should know better than to put private stuff on there.

However the bill I’m against, they put a lot of internet spying in there too in the name of saving the children. So…

Yeah we’ll just see how it turns out

Backed into a corner? Don’t know how to make an argument? Hey we’ve all been there. Just say it’s about the children! That means you get to win!

Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.

Aaaaand a million influencers rush there to destroy the place

Tell that to my mother when I was a teenager.

slams. Thank God he did, I was worried he only talked about it.

But that’s basically my point, is that they changed concerts from a casual affair to a once in a lifetime experience, where we have to choose our favorites we actually want to see, and can’t go see people we only casually like.

And yeah I totally get the risk aspect, because at that cost in the back of my head was “is this worth it? Was it worth the price?”

I just saw an article about how ticket sales are slumping, and that people aren’t willing to spend 600 per ticket anymore. The poor Ticketmaster CEO said that people just don’t want to.

Yep my dude, can’t be that you’ve changed concerts from “we should go see _______!” To “I guess it’s the one time in my life I’ll ever see them, I’ll go one time and then never again” level of special occasion. Seriously 600 dollars per person is nearing Disney level vacation money.

So yeah, of course money isn’t infinite. You hit the ceiling. Taylor and oasis may gather that much, but your other artists are going to suffer. I’ll be honest I paid 600 for Taylor. It was a once in a lifetime experience. But now they want me to pay something like 400 for any random music act that comes to town. No, Ticketmaster, she was my favorite, that was a one time thing. I’m not paying 400 to see like, Weezer.

Literally just had this. Google “is <train> running on Saturday?”

Yes train is running Saturday September 8 at 10am.

Well, first, no it’s not. Second of all, September 8 is not a Saturday.

And then you are basically hiring an infra team to run the services and have the redundancy, and then with salaries you’re nearing just paying for software again

Finally someone in industry is saying it. Execs are doing layoffs because they thought covid driven revenue would last forever, and that was a moronic thought. Like people would ever be at home in those numbers again, all at once, desperate for things to do. They could have used that time better, and they didn’t. Of course the market was going to dip after covid.

Oh don’t worry, you can just pay <<cloud provider>> 30x what you were your infra team before, or if that’s too expensive just pay a consulting form 10x what you would have before. Then they can go dine on steaks while they have the same infra guy you had hired before doing the same stuff just now in “teh cloud”, but making less money
