Was I just "unlucky", every episode had Lt Barkley. One of the more unremarkable characters IMHO.

I was sad on the day when my.yahoo.com shut down. It had a bunch of RSS feeds, and news, I have not found a good replacement for it.

Not sure how anyone can have a Mature battery recycling system when car batteries at any scale in general are less then 5 years old.

I would suspect the companies doing battery recycling are less then 3 years old, not mature by any measurement.

Sadly the low hanging fruit is cloning other peoples games.

This takes away from all the indies that AI is empowering. I use AI on the game I am creating. It is wonderful in many ways. (I say this as I watch it burn thru 2m tokens with out informing me of the scope of what it was going to do).

This sucks! I would really like to upgrade my PC memory, silly me thinking 64 GB was enough.

And I would love to build a home LLM server, but 10,000 is not in my budget right now.

I love my AI tools, but if left alone they would cover the front lawn in rabbit holes. For now they need people to make judgement calls.

Will this be the case in 5 years, probably. They will certainly be different rabbit holes.

AI may have no skin in the game.

But it will work all night and on weekends. It never gets sick. It never forgets to do something. And as far as I can tell, it does it best work all the time.

That's enough skin for me.

I strangely have mixed feelings on this. Half of me says "Illegal search and seizure", the other half say "We need to get the crazy drivers off the road"

Isn't that what streamers are for?

Amazing!

Question I have is when will they be able to render something more then 30 seconds.

And how much will it cost? There has to be a HUGE amount of computing power behind this. As a video game developer I live in fear and anticipation.

Two thumbs up for the Slate vehicles. Simple, cheap, non trackable.
