I had been hoping to use it to stream to the steam frame when that releases, but looking at the performance I don't think it'll be able to run any games that are even slightly heavy in vr. No uevr mods, but i suppose it can probably run most dedicated vr games as they are pretty light.

Still, that's a big compromise to eat considering the price.

This entire thread is just Werewolf the Apocalypse in a nutshell lmao.

The concept of the game boils down to eco-terrorist werewolves getting mad and tearing the billionaires, factories, and the elementary school class that had a kid accidentally litter to shreds.

I ordered some alcohol online because I couldn't find the brand of rum I was looking for locally. They did some age verification before I could order, same that I could have encountered in a grocery store.

Of course they just got sent a token and not a photo id which changes the calculus some. I'm against trusting random websites with personal information, not an age block on its own.

There is a bit of a difference between shutting out every other opinion on everything and taking some perhaps extreme steps to avoid having to deal with annoying people in a game famous for having a lot of annoying people.

I doubt that. A lot of the poor writing quality comes down to choice. All the most powerful models are inherently trained to be bland, seek harmony with the user, and generally come across as kind of slimy in a typically corporate sort of way. This bleeds into the writing style pretty heavily.

A model trained specifically for creative writing without such a focus would probably do better. We'll see.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia Wikipedia disagrees with you, although I do think it depends a lot on the level of education you're at. In academia you rarely want tertiary sources if primary sources are available.

It turns into a game of telephone where you're forth in line when you could just as well be second in line, since Wikipedia recommends using secondary sources for its articles.

Started out meaning that someone is actively doing something for the purpose of looking cool. Here it's just used as a synonym for cool.

Good read. The Brussels effect seems to be facing the same problems the rest of the EU is facing - increased pressure from the outside.

On the tech side I think it's mostly that tech giants can now use the US as an instrument to apply pressure more than it is EU regulatory overreach on AI. Yeah, the EU has failed to manifest their own tech giants, but I'd argue this is a good thing because holy shit the tech giants are a cancerous blob on society.

Yeah, there's an analysis by an expert on the article. Says the mention is remarkable, but to be expected. I mean, it would be a statement in itself to not mention the giant pink elephant in the room.
