Starting to wonder what the point of all those amendments were for.

I freely admit to being a lifelong tech nerd but all this "prove you are a human in an age of AI bla bla" stuff is just getting exhausting. The slopmarket grows exponentially like the mindless cancer that it truly is

It's about £42k here in the yuke and I think I want one.

Makes more money to surveil and criminalise than it does to liberate the US from its hopeless addiction to chronic driving. Why bother pedestrianising if you can just deploy AI to everything instead?

I agree, I thought the AI revolution was supposed to free us from menial tasks, not take the process of creativity away and turn us into menial supervisors...

I agree, I thought that was so interesting, even an alien species that advanced has a conservation of knowledge - you only know what you need to know to achieve the thing. Like a programmer having only the sparsest knowledge of assembly.

As a non-scientist, I really enjoyed the novel. It was credulous in the best way possible, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes "where could this go next" type novels. A friend who is a quantum physicist thought it was utter bunkum, so this one is probably best read if you don't find it...

So that's what AGI is - staring at a split screen monitor. Like a security guard. Great, that sounds so stimulating. What an excellent use of our grey matter.

I have friends in the US and I would like to visit them this year, but I've been leaning towards putting it off until there is some calm on the border side of things. The rapid deployment of surveillance as coercion against citizens reminds me of a certain other enormous country whose great...

Apparently Tim Sweeney of Epic is not fine with that, since I checked on X last night. It seems his reasoning is that a bit of CSAM is fine when balanced against absolute free speech. As a UE technician, him wading into conversations like this makes me very uneasy. Please stick to fighting...

I wonder if this technology would be rendered (excuse the pun) irrelevant with most deferred graphics pipelines because of temporal aliasing or even nvidia's own DLSS upscaler. That means most modern high-end games would surely not benefit because there is perceivable ghosting elsewhere in the...

Regarding the intro paragraph: doesn't one "quash" dissent, rather than "squash" it?

Kinda ruins the tone and writing of the rest of the piece to be honest. Edit: also, why is the AI slop credited? That's not how AI slop works. Generating a sloppy image does not credit beget.

I find it interesting that the Trump administration loves to deploy the word "weaponised" in order to legitimise targeting their perceived opponents, whilst also apparently being stalwart defenders of the right to bear both words and arms (if you're a white working class billionaire with enough...

NeuralDSP/Quad Cortex great, I bought Gojira a long time ago - I stopped buying plugins for the last few years because I got an FM9 and it's taken me two years of learning and I'm still figuring out new and amazing things to do with it, great fun! Before that, I had a real Mesa Boogie Mk V and...

This timeline that we are in is completely cooked. We are giving our tech sovereignty away to seed funded snake oil salesmen and inflated megacorps. People power is at an all time low. Soaring SSDs, constant surveillance... What is the point of it all? Where are we going with all of this?

I spent a week in Helsinki three weeks ago coming over from London and I genuinely didn't want to come back. Marvellous place!

Phone ownership/carrier contracts seem absolutely absurd in the US, as this story clearly demonstrates. Nothing is perfect but in the UK, I can buy a cheap unlocked phone from whatever site I want for under £200 and then pay £8 a month to a rolling monthly provider (no contract at all) and if I...

Couldn't have put it better myself.

The front face (particularly the lights and grille area) look like when you push character creation sliders too far. Ugliest BMW I've ever seen, inside and out! Truly bizarre style motifs and topology throughout. Perhaps it looks better in person.
