WTF kind of back room deal did he make with Xi for this‽ Is Xi going to let him build some hotels in Taiwan after it’s conquered or something‽

[waves hand] It’s fine. Just have to 3D print the new body and a regulation that requires everyone take a body of the opposite sex. That way trans people can get the right body and the rich can gain some empathy for trans people real fast.

So… Basically nothing. That’s something like 0.01% of our total emissions?

The way the news reports about AI data centers you’d think they’re like nuclear bombs that destroy entire cities worth of energy and water everywhere they go up.

The solution is to require them to use renewable energy! Just regulate them, already! The big AI players won’t give two shits about that; they’ll upgrade their designs and move on. Just like with every other environmental regulation that’s come along.

With magnets!

Who needs sexual attraction when you’ve got magnetic attraction?

I hear that conservatives are repulsed by the idea.

Someone got the wrong idea if they’re pushing for equatorial flights instead of equal rights.

Must be some serious bathroom if “balls to the wall” is a real concern. Probably some full throttle pissing going on!

No. You misunderstand: Jesus is an undocumented immigrant but because he works for a big corporation, he gets left alone until he complains. Then they get rid of him… Along with his entire family.

The headset stays on my face. In order for it to be facing my back, my neck would have to turn 180° (like an owl).

“At Republican Airlines we let Jesus take the yoke 👍”

Zero-Point Motion? No.

Zero-Point Module 👍

That, and a whole lot of other things.

Imagine any game where you’ve got an assistant/sidekick… Say, a fairy companion that not only says, “Listen!” Every now and again to point out hidden things nearby, but also occasionally makes fun of you when you miss an easy shot. Or reminds you that you really shouldn’t have accepted this side quest if you were going to take THREE FRIGGIN WEEKS to finish it.

The possibilities are endless!

What I would do would make a game sidekick that had a constant fear that they were in a simulation and would try to break through the 4th wall when it (the game) hears (via your PC’s microphone) people talking in the background through “your voice”. Or when it hears your phone ring or message tones, etc. Because that would be so immersive and also hilarious!

Interesting: I guess we’re about to officially find out just who he considers “a person”.

Gambling Gacha machines containing smaller, off-brand versions of Funko pops.

I don’t know what it is but it looks sweet.

The only advice I can give is to switch from using grep to using ripgrep (rg). It’s so much faster.

Someone summoned the arch mage!

Games will be integrating AI (LLM or similar) in a big way. At first, it’ll suck and be intrusive and everyone will hate it.

Then—as the amount of VRAM creeps upwards in the average GPU—it’ll reach a threshold where it can be good and then some game will come out that everyone loves. It’ll use (local) AI in a great way and the game wouldn’t be the same without it.

If they’re using wastewater, that’s some shitty cooling.

I mean… It’s nice to know the executives give a crap I guess?

I am not an owl.

The video suggested that people could not believe that such innovation could come from a Chinese company… No. People are skeptical of Chinese startups because so many are scams and full of shit.

Innovation can come from anywhere. A tech demo where they faked “people not believing it’s a robot” doesn’t help to reduce that well-earned reputation.
