It's happening across a lot of industries, especially tech. During covid line went up very fast. Post-covid line stopped going up fast, but companies are desperate to keep it going up fast. Otherwise it would count as a slowdown in year-on-year growth and we can never ever have that (/s).

The article: “I asked a really technical question from my PhD thesis, and it provided an answer that no one would be able to find without consulting people with very specific expertise."

Me waiting for the part where the AI hallucinated and he got an F on his thesis:

I mean, it might have worked out, but you have to be very careful when asking LLMs for factual information. I've tried it at my work and it gave me info that contradicted that from experts.

So I tied a salmonella-ridden bag of precut onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.

The AI is hallucinating again

Do you have a recorded voicemail greeting? There are techniques now to train an AI voice on as little as 3 seconds of audio.

Makes sense.

But is it just me that's unaffected by such a script? I'm just like "Death threats? shrugs Fair enough." Unity threatened a lot of dev's livelihoods. What did they expect, for them all to just roll over and take it?

imo refunding after 10 hours is not the right thing to do, and could undermine the whole refund system if it becomes a common thing people do.

The original idea for allowing refunds for digital games (or anything, really) is if you get a broken or defective product. If the game won't launch, or it's a buggy unplayable mess, or not what was advertised (and I'm talking blatant false advertising, not some vague speculative comments) you get a refund. If you simply don't like the game, then you need to own it that you made a bad purchase and move on. It happens.

This is why it's important to wait for reviews and actual gameplay on YouTube/Twitch first, so you have a much better understanding of what you're getting. Hell, this why YTers/streamers get free codes on release, so their audience will see the game and want to go buy it.

It's been said a million times over but I guess it needs saying again: STOP 👏 PRE-ORDERING 👏 VIDEO 👏 GAMES

This is one of the greatest comments of all time

I've downloaded it on two devices already. It's on the Starfield - Standard Edition page, not the premium edition one. The usual play button will say "Pre-load install".
