AI is accelerating my work...work which only exists because of AI.

If I had to do my individual tasks without AI, I would be slower. But if I take a step back, I'm really not changing the world any faster than I was before.

Very cool. Does this mean any chance AR features are coming to Flyover Country? I've used that app for years, but matching what I see onto the map is the trickiest part.

I spend much less on alcohol now that I brew my own.

Big Honey and Big Apple are making off like bandits, however.

It had 13 glaciers pre-eruption, so perhaps "added" is doing a lot of heavy lifting :)

This is the Soylent of written communication. Full nutritional value with an unremarkable flavor.

Community focused organizations like this are hard to run without governance transitions. I think Anki brings value to the world and anyone willing to take on a leadership role in keeping it going should be given trust and grace to make the best decisions they can with the knowledge they have. I wish them luck.

The bottleneck for games of any size is always whether they are good. There are plenty of small indies which do not put out good games. I don't see world models improving game design or fun factors.

If I am wrong, then the huge supply of fun games will completely saturate demand and be no easier for indie game devs to stand out.

In a similar vein, but for Old School RuneScape, is https://osrs.world/

This one is kept up-to-date with the state of the game world. Even includes full NPC locations and animations.

"Fairly unprofitable [if you ignore all the parts that generate revenue.]"

I will admit that gambling $0.16 in skins on pro matches when I was 15 was a lot of fun. Maybe I'm lucky to have gotten away (relatively) unscathed, but I do have a little nostalgia for those days.

I have never felt like my searches in other engines have been helped by AI. I hope SearchGPT changes that. My expectations are low.

As someone who can't eat gluten, we look for that label because gluten isn't included as one of the mandatory allergens in the US. I would prefer if things were simply labelled as "contains gluten" because instead I have to evaluate the ingredients of things without a GF label to see if it's suitable.

Computers can generate optimal solutions to arbitrary positions. There's no need to apply the human-optimized ergonomic algorithms or methods that human use to speedsolve.
