I always loved the adventure/exploring/open world aspect of games as a kid

As an adult a lot of that interest has just turned into interest in traveling to other countries, and doing outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or 4x4ing

I still like gaming but to me real life is like the ultimate open world game to explore once you’re an adult and have money

My one unpopular movie opinion is that cloud atlas is waaay underrated

I think the complicated story/narrative threw a lot of people off from appreciating it

Really good movie to re-watch multiple times, the scope of that movie is crazy

Because they actually care about the patients and the work is critical?

You can’t just job hop like in tech?

It’s like everyone on this site views the whole world through a super narrow “tech worker” lense and assume every job works the same and everyone has the same motivations as people in tech

Most of the non-remote devs I know who bought places in recent years had to move to the outskirts of a big city if they didn’t want a tiny 1br apartment

Usually like ~1 hour outside the city center

There’s too many models

People generally only care about seeing reviews for the current models available to purchase, which is already handle by sites like Amazon

What use is a review for a 10 year old TV you can no longer purchase?

It’s not like a movie where people are still watching it many years later

I hate the whole attitude the industry has towards AI models, it just seems so sloppy compared to software of the past

It’s like “yeah we don’t really know what it’s going to do and it might screw up but whatever just launch it”

Really surprised me that so many companies are willing to jump into LLMs without any guarantee that the output won’t be something completely insane

What do you think the incentive is for those developers to fix these issues?

Do you think fixing bugs gets you promoted?

If you’re ever wondering “why does company do X”, look at the incentives

Outcomes follow incentives and products are reflections of the organizations that created them

Generating a video offline and doing it in real-time are very different problems

You can spend days generating one frame of the video offline

Whereas realtime you need to generate a frame in the magnitude of 30-40ms

It’s kinda pointless to say though

You can’t uninvent something

Exactly, you can’t put it back in the box

The only thing I can imagine is like limiting people’s compute power

But even then they’d just go do it in another country or use an online service based in another country
