- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 15 hours ago:
Cell to Singularity is a great little mobile game that does have microtransactions but are easy to ignore/avoid. I played through it several times and may need to dust it off for another playthrough. Great music too.

Honestly why didn’t EU include all mobile device operating systems or just all operating systems with greater than some number of users?

If your partner is an AI then what is the harm?

Entertainment might be pointless to some. I dream of having an on-demand Netflix that will generate whatever type of content I can imagine on demand, or better yet already know my preferences and all I have to do is tell it my mood and it will start playing something I would like.

Other than the obvious malicious uses of this technology, it could be great for multimedia, great for creative control for cast, great for virtual meetings to always look “your best” (as determined by each individual, e.g. clean-cut pristine, and/or preferred gender, and/or favorite anime, etc.). There are also use cases to hear letters spoken by a lost loved one, or replace the Three Stooges with politicians. Tons of “safe” use cases that I am looking forward to.

According to Le Chat,
The author you’re thinking of is Neal Stephenson, and the book is “Snow Crash” published in 1992. In the book, he coined the term “ractors” for actors who perform in front of motion-capture cameras to create lifelike animations. He also predicted the use of CGI and AI in filmmaking to create movies with long-dead actors.
- Comment on "No, seriously. All those things Google couldn't find anymore? Top of the search pile. Queries that generated pages of spam in Google results? Fucking pristine on Kagi – the right answers, over and over again." 2 months ago:
That seems like a crutch instead of a real feature. I have even just thinking about having to manage that. What if you want info from sites you do not already know about? Seems like finding new things through search is basically dead anymore.

The Talos Principle 2. After spending nearly all day on it yesterday, I am hooked. It really does it justice to the first one, I just wish they would release a VR version as the original in VR made the game much more intimate for me—I never played the pancake version.

Maybe the atmosphere on that world is significantly less than Earth’s?
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker problems are just an AdBlock Plus bug 5 months ago:
If employing an adblocker is “altering YouTube’s code” then opening the wrapper on a Snicker’s bar is “altering Snicker’s product.” The code runs on my device, I get to say how and when and whyfor. It’s akin to receiving something in the mail… I now own that copy and can do with it what I wish pursuant to all relevant laws.
