  They should just say they’re training up an AI. The feds will back off in a hot second.

  Well, if dead internet theory weren’t already true it soon will be.

  Is this a “we’re just gonna let AI do it” kind of thing? Because I think there’s going to be a market for 100% human non-AI content opening up. I think some people would be happy to pay a premium for it, even if it’s just Patreon-level dollar a month stuff.

  I think it would be more like the car maker couldn’t be held liable for what the car did if the car was hacked. And good luck getting insurance to cover you if you wrecked your car after hacking it. It would be a strictly at-your-own-risk proposition. And if you hurt anyone else driving a hacked car, woo buddy.

  Madden 26 on PS5, jumping right into the deep end of the pool. I heard Tecmo Super Bowl was fun but broken as hell; like it was on the honor system not to see which play the computer was going to run. Kind of an inversion of the “Computer is a Cheating Bastard” trope.

  I’ve seen EV’s characterized as phones on wheels, and as an owner that seems apt. I envision a hobbyist community for old EV’s developing much in the same way there are groups that tinker with TRS-80s and Apple 2’s. Once support for a platform ends, someone will find a way to root it and then install such mods as seem cool or fun.

  I’ve been enjoying this season of football, so at nearly 50 I decided to try Madden for the first time. I’m… not very good. At all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major AWS outage takes down Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat, and more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was only the one AWS region that went down, us-east-1. Unfortunately that’s the big kahuna. But they’ve got regions and availability zones around the globe. The services that went down due to the outage need to get some cross-region redundancy happening, but that’s the kind of thing that’s never a priority until the moment you need it.
