And low tax rates.

These days they can also chain together tools, keep a working memory etc. Look at Claude Code if you’re curious. It’s come very far very quickly in the last 12 months.

How can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?

It’s substantially faster than most programmers at finding bugs too.

Those A10s really mopped up in The Crusades!

Has anyone had Claude do an analysis of its own source yet? That would be an interesting read, both for summarising the codebase and for Claude’s thoughts.

If so, that’s pretty wild, and understandable they’re declaring a state of emergency:

Median annual income in Philippines ~USD5,000
Median annual income in California ~USD100,000

Thanks for making me google cloaca, you goddamn cloaca.

Sounds like you need WUPHF: https://youtu.be/uRoCMde-Cm8

Using it for upscaling and frame interpolation was reasonable - that felt like a good use of AI to emulate higher performance for a lower cost. But using it as a filter over the entire vision of the game? Utterly insane and strongly smells of NVIDIA targetting other companies for more investment/sales, not gamers.

You forget we are in an echo chamber here. Most people not only read the AI summaries, they believe them. Just the other day I saw a normie ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, instead of using a calculator. That’s how entrenched AI has become in their day-to-day. They don’t have to think any more. Thinking is hard. And that’s how Google is able to dominate the web. Steal the data and serve it up as slop that’s good enough for the everyday Joe.

Looking at Ukraine/Russia and now this, it feels like drone warfare has largely made military ships sitting ducks.

I watched someone in a YouTube video ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, despite having a calculator on their phone. The sheer laziness at the expense of someone else’s energy was impressive. And don’t even get me started on the accuracy.

Given how big the LGBTQ+ community is in the games industry, they really need to host this in Vancouver or Toronto until things settle down in the USA.

Team America: World Police

Find a company that values engineers. The one you’re at doesn’t, whether they understand that or not.

Sounds a lot like IBM.

Mar-a-lago sure feels like a sitting duck next to the open ocean.

Thank you! After reading that I’m surprised Microsoft didn’t issue a statement to clarify, but I guess of all the rumours to run wild, it was fairly innocuous.

At least we’ve got AI to help with journalism now. /s

It came from the mouth of a Microsoft executive, and Microsoft followed up with a statement saying they were moving Windows 10 to a service model.
