In my experience, it's more likely a whole team of supposedly brilliant engineers were paid good money to work on this feature. Sad as that is.

The Last of Us season 2 was fine. They didn't follow the chronology and structure from the second game and it suffered because of it. People who didn't play the games probably didn't notice this.

It wasn't anywhere near the (low) quality of Halo season 1. Did they continue to show Master Chief's face in season 2? Because that alone ruined it for me. And they didn't even get his appearance right!

Yeah I think we're mostly in agreement. Consoles will continue to dominate for the foreseeable future.

That was probably one of the worst video game adaptations I've ever seen. Especially in comparison to recent additions like The Last of Us and Fallout. No disrespect.

> Step outside an echo chamber and you'll see that in most countries, including East Asia and the Middle East, if you take a walk around any big mall, you don't see kids pestering their parents to buy them a PC.

This is still the case in the U.S. for the most part. The point is moreso that barrier to entry is lowering. The SteamDeck is a PC/console and a good example of a possible trend in that direction.

> Is Terence Tao just another AI booster nowadays

The information in the article suggests that he regrets his prior hyping of AI.

> hey currently monitor it to prevent users from using their models in certain ways they consider unsafe or bad for their business

Can't they just monitor the text outputs as well?

> I also like how feedback is collected. It prompts to press 1, 2, or 3 to rate how well Claude is doing...

I commonly respond to Claude with a numbered list of critiques. The number of times I have accidentally rated something when I would have rather push "0" for "go away" is infuriating.

There goes 95% of your market. If not more.

Put them in a .env file and tell it to never look there but what the env vars are named. Problem solved.

Oh come on. Sure, it might not be a production-capable system. But comparing an Astra 6/Sol 6.1 powered sites to wordpress and wix is apples and oranges.

That's clever and all - solid setup, good work. But I still think you either overestimate the average house guest or have particularly savvy/young house guests.

No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 are actually proof you can have an awful launch and still pivot into a large player base and continued sales via updates.

Reception for both games is largely positive despite their poor initial response.
