Something similar happened in the late 1990's when a PlayStation memory card was being sold with pre-loaded save data for a dating sim game ( Tokimeki Memorial ). Konami claimed it violated the integrity of the work because selling a h

I once played an indie JRPG that took inspiration from Cordwainer Smith and some other authors. It's untranslated but the Santaclara drug is a usable item that acts like a Phoenix Down. https://andymente.moo.jp/html&#x2

Recently I've tended to look at mid-2000s Web 2.0 as a source of nostalgia. It was back in the day when twttr felt like people were optimistic about building a new community for the future and the possibilities were still unexplored. P

I think of it like: The only reason humans still drive cars is we have yet to find a good enough way of replacing ourselves with something more effective. It's merely an implementation detail of "getting from A to B" that wou

This is really clever. "Football Jesus" is "Tebow", so I am now happily exploring the Tebowverse. There is even a robot incarnation named "Tebot".

What worries me is the same dev has another title released 3 years ago that's still in EA. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307550/Craftopia/ Given Palworld is the new thing I doubt its predecessor wi

It's sort of the same thing with "all regulations are written in blood", right? For example, many of the current set of laws, regulations and best practices that prevent people on planes from dying were only enacted after peo

I get mixed feelings when reading this comment while remembering the many people gushing about how they formed lifelong friendships through what.cd.

And this time it's not only driven by larger media organizations, but also by random people who now have a chance to propagate their views from decreased barriers to entry. I believe it wasn't only journalistic gatekeeping that pr

Reminds me, I played Genshin Impact once and I was struck by how brief the opening cutscenes were. Given it was a fantasy epic I sort of expected a bit more introduction to the characters in the first 30 minutes. But I think that was becaus

I think this is the main problem that will increasingly come into focus. OpenAI has one of the fastest-growing software releases in history. It's kind of insane how after a year this is already starting to alter people's communica

At first I thought this was the 48GB card that had been rumored for a while, but it turns out it's just a sanctions-compliant RTX 6000 Ada for export to China. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/n

The Adventures of Cookie & Cream had dynamic splitscreen based on progress through the level, and that was released in 2000. Plus I believe there was an (uncommon?) feature where two players could share a single controller to control ea

What seems most likely to me, at least before AGI is invented, is that the human will ask the LLM for strategies to make money under pressure, it will suggest something unethical, and the human will commit the insider trading themselves. Wh

Yes, but I did want to sync my installed extensions, just in a way that the extension layout was preserved without further intervention, and not interrupting the initial flow with all the "extension installed" tabs. I will always

Last time I tried sync with Firefox it saved all the extensions I installed but not the customized layout I used, so every time I installed Firefox I had to redo my toolbar again so it didn't get swamped in dozens of addon icons. It

I think it is worth asking what is cut out of the artistic process when you delegate to a black box as this piece has. In my opinion it is worth demarcating AI art from handmade art so the possible intentions can be identified. At the same

Sounds like it could be an effect of a conservative Japanese business culture. For example Sony is one of the few companies to still manufacture high-end smartphones with a headphone jack.

I think it may be worth asking if social media has the capability to deprive a subset of people of living a peaceful life, because of its mental health effects. It is the users' choice to stop using social media, but they don't ,

I think the people that created smartphones and social media had the best of intentions, but the resulting effects on mental health are profound. At the same time, it is hard to imagine someone letting go of implementing an idea because of
