Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...
Following the major reveal of the character in the latest finale, Russell T Davies and Anita Dobson address the current status of the mystery of Doctor Who's Mrs. Flood. Dobson made her debut in "The Church on Ruby Road" as the seemingly ordinary neighbor to the Sunday family, though it would be revealed that she has hidden...
Translation: She's the Master and will regenerate. RTD already mixed up familiar elements of his first four seasons of the reboot and the way she acted fits the Master to a T.
Felt more like the new Jack Harkness to me. They'll certainly won't bring John Barrowman back anytime soon, that's for sure. While not being quite as bad as serial abuser Noel Clarke, Barrowman's frequently reported behaviour of exposing himself on sets would probably not be overlooked nowadays.
Yes, I really like them as well. And I bet the game will be good too. I just worry about the game not selling good enough and with Microsoft's current track record of shutting studios down, Obsidian being shut down as well.
That's what happens when people who don't understand LLMs try to profit off of LMMs. You can be sure that the actual programmers at Google told corporate that this would be the exact thing that would happen, but corporate pushed ahead anyway. The programmers shrugged, did their job, and brushed up their CVs just in case.
Yes, because that's what happens when a narcissist has way too much money. A person capable of self-reflection would realize that it's much easier and safer to trust people around you that know more about their respective areas of expertise. That's what good leaders do, they delegate. Musk is incapable of that. The companies he owns are not yet bankrupt despite, not because, of him.
That's actually not a bad analogy. Politicians are rarely versed in topics they talk about and instead are just reiterating stuff experts told them. That's why lobbyism works as well as it does.
Also screw long term profitability, make the graph quickly go up by firing people to get your bonus, by the time it comes back to really bite the company in the ass, you will have golden-parachuted away already.
I mean, Larian is pretty much that. Instead of just doing Baldur's Gate 4 although Hasbro fired all their contact people and probably would have urged Larian to rush a sequel, they are instead during an IP of their own next and refuse to go public and/or get bought.

"So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult." George Orwell, 1984
Always have been. Even the one thing they always claim they are better for they aren't. Conservative policies have always led to weaker economies, not stronger ones. In every single objective metric, they are bad for society as a whole. Great for a few individual people and their bank accounts though.
Historically, I've perceived Reddit as slightly left leaning, with strong pockets of conservatives. Recently though, a vast majority of comment sections seem to excuse violence, such as in this thread (TW: police brutality), where people say things like...
