So they want me to use an AI to do my job. But at the same time they haven’t fired me so presumably they understand that the AI can’t be used exclusively to do the job. So doesn’t that mean that they accept that I have better judgment than an AI and therefore my decision not to use said AI shouldn’t be a problem for them.

I would love to see them actually try articulate exactly why the above is not true in an employment tribunal.

Yeah because I really want to match with people who use ROBLOX as a dating platform. That’s exactly this sort of person I want to go out on a date with.

Are you seriously suggesting that we don’t need competitors to Apple in the phone market?

You realise that pretty much every innovation in iOS has been in Android for years sometimes decades before implemented by Apple. I think the last major innovation from Apple was iTunes, and it was crap.

I’ve had many foldables and I’ve never broken them, and I’m not gentle with them, it’s not in a phone case, and being dropped several times. I think if it was dropped in the open state that might be a problem, but when it’s closed it’s actually protecting itself.

In some ways you’re more likely to damage a traditional phone screen since it’s always on the outside and it’s made of glass and more likely to crack when dropped.

There’s no scratches on mine but it is a fingerprint magnet. That’s what you get for having a plastic screen.

So the maximum number of folds it could take was 10,006. Unlucky.

99% of the budget went on advertising, 0.9% went on tokens to Vibe code the engineering and 0.1% on manufacturing

I think thorium reactors are more complicated though. You have to achieve very high pressure or they don’t work. They just hasn’t really been an impetus to develop the technology.

It’s a problem if you use radiated heating which is what most homes in Europe use. It’s not impossible to solve you just hook the heat pump into a heat exchanger and transfer the heat into a hot water tank. It’s just a hot water tanks tend to take up a lot of space and it’s an extra component to you need added.

It always reignites in the morning.

To be fair the construction time on a star is actually a really long compared to nuclear.

Not enough to reduce the benefits to zero and that’s all we need. As improvements come in you can upgrade the batteries over time and get better and better margins. But the system is already good enough for deployment.

Yeah, damn governments holding all the uranium for themselves. It’s just not fair.

Unless you live inside the Arctic circle heat pumps will work in the winter. I think they’ve been proven to work down to -20c

Even if you did live somewhere where heat pumps were not viable for some or the entirety of the year you could still use solar and just heat with electricity. So that mostly a solved problem. The bigger issue is that they are a pain to install into existing properties especially if they don’t have ducted heating.

Yeah the US banking system is really archaic. They still use signatures as a form of security.

I’m really not sure what the resistance to modernisation is. But it causes all sorts of problems like this, that the rest of the world just never experiences.

Is magstrip that’s the problem. It means as an exposed component that has to be in the environment and can’t be enclosed. NFC readers can read the chips through several millimetres of materials so they can be totally embedded.

Real solution is for North America to just get off Mag strip no one’s used it in the rest of the world in about 20 years.

Hey look it’s a 💥

I’m not quite sure I understand what your point is.

Almost all modern game engines will potentially have AI code in. Most of them are either be managed by a company like blizzard or unity. The rest are open source projects like Godot.

At this point he has whined about it so much that everyone’s going to know the game uses AI, even if they don’t disclose it. He would have genuinely being better off shutting up about it.

I mean to be honest every engine is going to be like that now at least partly.

I do kind of hope valve update their AI policy at some point to actually clarify what the label means. Both open source and closed source engines are vulnerable to AI code so unless you also build the engine your game might include AI code without your knowledge. So who’s responsibility is it at that point to check the little box in the store to say this game includes code made by AI?

No does anybody else, but apparently they have access to them well we wouldn’t even be talking about it.
