Blaming the technology is useless and unhelpful. It's like blaming Photoshop for letting people remove their faces from obvious CSAM.
Kids need to be taught about this stuff! Bitching and trying to regulate the tech is a pointless waste of time. Teaching children how to deal with it is the only realistic thing that can be done.
Sexual harassment is a crime at work. Outside of that, it's just another form of bullying/harassment.
Assholes will catgall girls as they walk past but that's not illegal. It's no different than shouting explitives at minorities. It's a dick move, but it's not illegal. Not in the US, anyway (because of the First Amendment).
I'd also like to point out that she didn't get expelled for "trying to stop" the bullying. She got expelled for violence (against the bullies). That is why I think it's the zero-tolerance policies that are a huge part of the problem.
If a girl slaps a boy that's harassing her, there's very little actual consequences from that. The boy might be sore for a day or two but he might leave her alone after that. Yet our policies forbid this in the most extreme way possible. It's like being put to death for trampling flowers.
The article states that the police investigated but found nothing. The kids knew how to hide/erase the evidence.
Are we really surprised, though? Police are about as effective at digital sleuthing as they are at de-escalation.
Good games are orthogonal to AI usage. It's possible to have a great game that was written with AI using AI-generated assets. Just as much as it's possible to have a shitty one.
If AI makes creating games easier, we're likely to see 1000 shitty games for every good one. But at the same time we're also likely to see successful games made by people who had great ideas but never had the capital or skills to bring them to life before.
I can't predict the future of AI but it's easy to imagine a state where everyone has the power to make a game for basically no cost. Good or bad, that's where we're heading.
If making great games doesn't require a shitton of capital, the ones who are most likely to suffer are the rich AAA game studios. Basically, the capitalists. Because when capital isn't necessary to get something done anymore, capital becomes less useful.
Effort builds skill but it does not build quality. You could put in a ton of effort and still fail or just make something terrible. What breeds success is iteration (and luck). Because AI makes iteration faster and easier, it's likely we're going to see a lot of great things created using it.
Haha, referencing the Shoe Event Horizon made me stop and pay attention!
"Shit. Maybe they're right... We could be about to evolve into bird people!"
FYI: Stuff like this is for automated testing, not "playing games for you" 🤣
Also, I won't consider it realistic until it can type out, "lol git gud scrub" after ganking someone who just spawned.
Yet for some reason it still left me kinda hyped 🤷
They will. Otherwise they're throwing money away and leaving room in the market for competitors.
The big problem, though is that DRAM manufacturing requires a shitton of money to make and you'd have to poach talent from existing players. Otherwise you'll never be able to get started. It's just too complicated.
China has been trying to catch up with Taiwan in chip manufacturing for like 20 years now and they're still at least 10 years behind. Probably 15 or more because of the way funding/investment works over there.
Apparently the fact that they cost a small fortune isn't a big deal.
Optimizing folding screens for cost apparently was never an option. One can dream, at least.
1,2: Airline cards (e.g. Lufthansa)
7: Gas cards (Shell, Mobile)
8: Health-related and telecom cards (remember those old Sprint calling cards? That)
9: Reserved.
3,4,5, and 6 are the only types that would count as "credit cards".
I first heard it when I was a kid but didn't truly understand it until 9/11. The more time goes on, the more our shitty timeline proves it to be true.
