Definitely! I have an MX5 (miata), and the camaraderie between strangers is great. Majority of people will wave to each other as they drive past and I often get stopped for a chat in petrol stations etc. It's one of the reasons I would really hate to get rid of the car because it's just an extra dose of fun compared to everything else I have owned.
Maybe? But to give an example of how I think it's been pretty cool, is summarising my Dungeons & Dragons session notes, and being available to answer questions, or spin up ideas on the fly. I can take horrible and inconsistent notes with holes in them, but an LLM straightens them all out into any format I need. If I need a small piece of world building and ran out of time I can get it to spit a few ideas at me. Often generic ideas and tropes are actually what I am after. If I forgot something that happened 6 months ago I can just...ask it. It can pull up stuff I noted offhand and totally forgot about no problem. This sort of use where it's like an admin assistant, and being inaccurate is totally unimportant, it's a good tool.
Maybe that's a really niche example but it's one of the few cases where I can see long term use with zero downsides.
Ultimately it's powerful at consolidating large volumes of information and allowing the user to probe at that information. As long as the use case can tolerate inaccuracies and hallucinations then it's fine.
For sure, it's amazing for some things. But it also appears to do more than you think it does until you become familiar with it. I think everyone new to using AI should quiz it on topics they are knowledgeable in, to realise how much shit it makes up.
Also yeah I'm specifically talking about LLMs because I think that's 95%+ of AI usage right now in volume.
Once you use AI enough you start to peer behind the curtain and see how it's all just a magic trick and not actually magic like it seems to begin with. So yeah I think its unsurprising people would come to this conclusion.
Not to blame video games but genuinely having never even held a real gun I could definitely work out how to operate one from the thousands of hours I have interacted with them digitally lol. They ultimately are designed ground up to be user friendly and simple. Yes I would be a terrible aim etc but still not the point, an idiot can still cause chaos.
I noticed in my local supermarket in the UK they started wearing cameras too it's really weird. I'm really not sure what their goal is - it will never help shoplifting as much as static cameras, and seems a lot of effort to safeguard against abusive customers.
Eh I dunno, I got bored of it before I finished the story or explored the other half of the map. Feels like a bit of a failing there. 30 hours would be fine if it was a fully contained experience.
This doesn't even make sense to me. Are we assuming these people don't own their own homes and are still paying rent to reach these figures? 31k to be 'moderate' seems absolutely stupid to me if housing is taken care of, and who has 31k a year pension but didn't pay off their mortgage by retirement? Seems their definition of comfortable must include a lot of expensive holidays.
Hogwarts is fun for about 30 hours roleplaying as a wizard, as a casual potter fan. I got really bored of it after that and never finished the game. At its core it really is very generic, it's really propped up by the IP. That's not to say it's bad by any means but its not got the depth of Zelda.
Exactly lol. He is really going to let his campaign die over not taking his boots off? It's quite obviously true and he can go in the high heel club with Trump and Putin.
House prices are going down. Just not by as much as many expect because ultimately there is still a housing shortage I guess. Also inflation is perhaps offsetting the actual drop in figures but technically is lowering prices too.
I mean 10gb/s is already like 20x more than you would need for that and probably more.
Having near 50gb/s is like, the bandwidth of an entire university campus going into your phone or something. Like just so overkill. You could stream 4K netflix over 3000 times over literally. Like, what could the use for that ever be? You couldn't even write or store that much data on your phone lol.
It's like saying you are disappointed because your new car is speed restricted to 50000 mph. Like...cool? It ain't gonna reach that so we're fine.
Which is why I asked if it had other benefits like better range or something, presumably that would be the benefit to be hyped over if any.
I mean, if speed is the only reason to upgrade what would be the point? A phone can never make use of 6E speeds it's entirely pointless to have even faster.
Are there some other benefits it's missing out on?
Honestly though by the time wifi 7 is out in the world enough to be utilised the majority of Pixel 8 phones will be on the scrapheap.
Seems pretty clear to me those extra updated features will absolutely be part of the base game. It would be really fucking weird if just the DLC areas had a different police system, improved AI, vehicle combat etc to the rest of the game. It would feel really jarring going from one to the other if only part of it got overhauled.
If he was destroying it for the good of humanity he would have to somehow destroy the concept of it rather than a single platform.
Probably best spending 40 billion on education in the harm social media can do lol.
I really do think he's just delusional. I won't call him an idiot because there is clearly intelligence and talent in his head, but he's gone off the rails in some capacity whether it's mental health issues or power crazed or who knows.
I respect your opinion, but you're a wrong'un

Yup...the comment above yours is giving copilot way too much credit lol. That shit needs to stay a 1000 miles away from Excel.
Excel is already a global nightmare, with so many jank should be databases run on it, with AI on top...oh boy.
I suppose these things have to be opt-out because if they were opt-in then literally nobody would do it. Which is quite telling really isn't it lol

Maybe she should buy twitter and ban the guy, or is this the wrong billionaire I am thinking of?

Not for me sadly.
