Quite the contrary. Marathon got hundreds of millions in cash because the shooter genre was making billions (at the time) so for them it was worth the gamble even if they lost. Two shooters were making billions at the time Marathon beg

Tempest Rising made more in profits than Marathon, despite selling a fraction as many copies. Given that Marathon is unlikely to ever make a profit, Tempest Rising technically made infinitely more in profits than Marathon did.

An RTS game would generate lower revenue but higher profits. Low risk but low reward. A shooter is a high risk high-reward endeavor. The track record for shooters for the past 5 years is actually much worse than it has been for RTS games, b

Companies that plan to go public don't push back their IPO dates if things are going well. It's a universal sign that the finances aren't in order when a company pushes back its IPO multiple times . OpenAI and Anthropic are

Not surprising. Musk displayed uncommonly detailed knowledge of the Southeast Asian child sex trade in the aftermath of the Thai Cave Crisis. It's not a big stretch to allowing CSAM on his own social media network.

Buckmaster came up with an approach. OpenAI's approach was to copy his work, which is technically a different method of coming up with an approach.

Your link shows that the progressives were in favor of the cameras, but the moderates voted it down because a study showed no change in police behavior so it wasn't a critical need when they were facing a budget shortfall.

No they don't, and no they haven't. LLMs have been making so many mistakes that the big firms have slowed or even paused their LLM spend. And that was before CA passed a law relating legal AI use.

That's irrelevant. Scale matters when you're discussing costs because costs increase nonlinearly.

NYC has approximately several million more students than the city of Zurich. And several million more immigrants than the entire country of Switzerland.

That's only true if the picture was specifically commissioned by the company. If it's a stock image or a licensed image, they need a license to alter the original image.

Google has a history of doing account wide bans. If after more than a decade of complaints they have finally figured out service specific bans they need to tell people that.

This is why lawyers have been getting in trouble using AI to review case law or (worse) to generate documents. It creates citations and references that look close enough to be plausible but are just made up of thin air. CA passed a law ex

LA and NY are both border cities that accept millions more immigrants than the red cities that do all the complaining.

Today I learned on the Internet that Tylenol is more dangerous than meth, cocaine, or fentanyl. Wait, no I didn't. That's absurd. Tylenol can cause long term health issues if used in excess (or death, for extreme overdoses), but

Unless Congress passes a law so SCOTUS doesn't have to. Congress doesn't need to pass a new law. Federal gambling laws were not removed from the books when Congress created the CFTC because they did not intend for gambling trans

It's not clever at all. Congress didn't eliminate the federal prohibition on sports gambling when they created the CFTC. Ergo, it is clear that Congress did not intend for sports gambling transactions to be within the jurisdiction

$25 is difficult to manage even in California, with millions of customers. I can't see how its economically feasible in Alaska.

Right, that was my point. Most of LA's homeless aren't from LA. They're not our homeless.

They didn't end in-country processing for any green card applications until November 2025. Your friend could not have been out-of-the country for over a year.

This story can't be true. The green card freeze policy only went into effect in January 2026...earlier this year, and was struck down several months ago. Also, UCIS has limited discretion to reject a spousal green card applicant; an un

Governor Rick Perry of Texas openly bragged about bussing the state's homeless to California for years. Abbot does the same thing; he simply doesn't brag about it anymore. The LAT did a series of articles (back in 2018, and sporad

It's not about stopping crime. It's about normalizing the sight of armed troops in cities. Trump has already stated many times, not jokingly that he wants a third term. He acknowledges that he can't be elected for a third

Consider that the overwhelming majority of this thread on a tech-focused forum have issues with the UI. That should tell you something about how ridiculously illogical the UI is compared to every other program in the space. GIMP has been

In the early 2000s, people were taking classes to learn how to use Word. Now even grandma uses Word without thinking about it. We're talking about 2026. GIMP had an excuse for its UI back in 1999. It doesn't anymore.
