Damn that’s around 1% of the entire global GDP…

Eh its still a win, a large scale test cast for a still fairly unproven technology is bound to provide some useful information.

Also the magic fruit seems kinda like actual sapience by todays standards? Pretty great thing to have.

And the already predicted heavy damage to the ozone layer from aluminium oxide from re-entering sattelites would be increased a thousand fold so somewhere on that list is learning to live without oxygen or sunlight.

iirc you can’t expect not to be caught in random photos or videos but you do have a right for someone not to film you specifically, someone wearing these glasses is doing that in every interaction.

Even in the anime the random skills are just horribly balanced, doesn’t he end up being forced to join that guild after a duel where he’s objectively the better fighter but the guild leader just has a random ‘actually I can stop time’ skill?

The prisoners dilema is a worst case scenario as you can have an infinite number of prisoners but just one can create the worst possible scenario for everyone else, the commons generally has the ability to sustain a couple of selfish people without breaking down. Everyone has their own threshold for how much abuse of shared resources they can tolerate before they too will begin to abuse those resources out of self preservation, society stops working properly when that process hits a tipping point that makes it self sustaining so it encompassas everyone.

Disproven multiple times, though actually something of a real life memetic hazard as people who are taught the tragedy of the commons tend to then act as if it was real thus causing it to be real. Its basically a way for rich sociopaths to justify their own behaviour by convincing other people to act the same way.

I feed them bird feed peanuts (unsalted, out of shell) I wouldn’t say they’re my friends exactly but they’re pretty comfortable around me and will land where I put the food before I’ve even walked away.

This is why I keep a good chunk of my steam library downloaded locally and don’t buy always-online required games.

Image recognition AI has been found to be vulnerable to prompt injection via text present in the image.

Nepenthies is a type of webpage that generates an endless chain of links and pages to bait in content scrapers and feed them garbage that poisons their training data.

If it makes you feel better that AI is almost certainly doing a horrible job that will burden your former employer with unfixable tech debt in just a few years.

You could piss off the company running them though, don’t these cameras use AI? Get some QR codes that lead to nepenthies traps full of their own AI generated images of nonsense license plates. Waste their money and poison their training data.

Stupid AI bloat asside, the important part of this article is:

lightweight, web-based Windows shell

This is the start of the ‘thin client’ we’ve been warned about.

Super Mario World
That game is like 50% secrets and still Nintendos best work IMO.

I have FTL and Into The Breach installed so even if the rest of my library vanishes I think I’ll be alright.

iirc the power is not very doable, You’d need hundreds of times as many solar pannels as are on the ISS to power a single modest data centre.

Just waiting for Trump to invade Panema and bring about the final collapse of the US.

There was kinda that whole bit in between where all the unemployed workers crowded into cities and everyone died of cholera though…
