Well maybe they are bothered by its sexist content. People all are about free speech when it comes to censorship in media, but not that many talk about how objectification of women is still very common in it. I’m sure that there are dating

Imo the world was the same before in terms of corruption and propaganda, it’s mostly us, the common folks, who changed radically. There are only binary states and opinions, either you’re a genocide supporter or an antisemite. Internet discu

I’ve been just thinking about the last point you made, on video games being more engaging than most other forms of media. It’s quite weird how gaming is still looked down on by the general public. While watching movies and TV shows is consi

That game has been on my radar ever since release, only managed to play 1 hour of it so far due to crashing issues. I always wondered how’s the procedural generation part of the game? Does it get repetitive fast?

That says more about the industrializaton of scientific research than anything. LLMs is the new hype product of tech companies. Wait a couple years and the interest will die out. Maybe we’ll live the day when true neuroscience (none of that
