@calvinfroedge Oh, the end is near. I have a feeling it's going to be spectacular. Like the supernova you see when a star implodes and collapses into a black hole.

Trump’s flip to suddenly being tough on Israel, ending his war on Iran that he started, threatening big oil to lower gas prices that he caused to skyrocket, and red meat tough takes are ALL a result of really bad polling that he can no longer ignore.
Also, if he had stuck with America First campaign promises, the polling would’ve never been bad in the first place.

@Grummz New Halo ring is flat, smooth, and boring. No detail. Not really sure why they'd change the way it looks.

Halo 343 Studios:
Here's 6 hours of Halo Ring start menu we probably spent 1.2 million making...
Random X User:
I think AI is better (prompts, 30 seconds later).
Internet: Explodes.
I'm sorry, but 343 got mogged judging by the reactions. You can nit at the AI video, but imagine if they spent a week polishing it rather than 5 minutes.
This is a combination of 343 just not being good enough to deserve Halo and AI getting better every day.
The comments are completely predictable. Every artist is defending the 343 version, not because they really thought about it, but because the perceive AI as a threat that must be taken out at all costs.
Meanwhile non-artists see a lot of merit to the AI version and the potential.
I see the issues with the AI version, but I bet you a few more days on the AI version, perhaps generating 3D assets with it, would end up being the clear winner.
See reply for the complete meltdown thread of reactions.
(and for those who haven't heard me before, yes, that's my voice)

@calvinfroedge All I know is that oil goes down either way.

@ShadowofEzra It relies on at least one superpower way more than I'd like.

Former Hamas and Israeli intelligence member Mosab Hassan Yousef threatens to destroy America with secret advanced weapons that Israel has kept hidden.
He says Israel is "just playing around for now," and this is his clear message to America.
"If they keep pushing Israel into a corner, they will suffer most."
"Israel's existence is not negotiable. It does not depend on superpowers or public opinion."

Valve has explained why its new Steam Machine is so expensive after players criticized the price.
The entry-level model starts at around €1,000, while higher-end versions with more storage cost up to €1,500 and Valve says no discounts are planned.
According to Valve, keeping the price high helps support an open and sustainable PC gaming ecosystem over the long term.
The company also says that users with compatible hardware can install the same operating system on their own PCs.
For those who find the Steam Machine too expensive, Valve suggests either building a PC themselves or buying a traditional game console.

@OCASMv2 @Pirat_Nation No. You misunderstood. What you’re saying is complete nonsense. They could maybe last a few years without new sales, not decades.
English
@MetalGearWrex @Pirat_Nation Steam could stop earning money today and could continue operating for decades.
English
@NotAZSportsGuy @Pirat_Nation I'm sure the folks at Steam never stopped to consider how they could keep the price as low as possible.
English
@MetalGearWrex @Pirat_Nation It's on Valve to make the price appealing to customers. If they can't do that, they shouldn't be releasing hardware right now.
English
@MetalGearWrex @Pirat_Nation Não seja tão burro assim.
Os preços da SM nunca irão baixar.
Não é assim que funciona.

Asmongold explains why entire industries are built to keep problems unsolved instead of fixing them
“I went into the oncology building when my dad had cancer, and the bathroom alone made the Hilton look like a joke. Oak walls, paintings everywhere, chairs that belonged in Buckingham Palace. There’s such a massive institution built around treating cancer that you start to wonder how many of these people lose their job the day it actually gets cured.”
“It’s the same as dentistry. Imagine if you could just regrow a tooth, think about how much less work dentists would have. It’s like how calculators used to be actual people doing math, then we built the machine, and all those people had to go find another job.”
“Look at hair loss, it’s a three to five billion dollar industry. Every few years you hear they found the one gene that stops hair loss, and then you never hear about it again. Once you see it, you realize how much money is invested into creating problems so somebody can sell you the solution.”

@Pirat_Nation He’s right about the difficulty of making games.
English
CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski says fully AI-generated games are coming, but he’s not convinced they’re the future of gaming.
He said he “knows for a fact” that these kinds of games are on the way and talked about an AI-focused studio that can make around 40 prototypes in a week, pick the best five, and release a game just a few weeks later.
“Maybe that’s going to be successful, but I have some doubts whether this is really the path to follow,”
He also said that “people underestimate how difficult it is to make games” and warned that with more and more games coming out every year, it’s getting harder to stand out.
Nowakowski believes great games still need something special. “You need a fresh idea, with a soul,”

Sabine doesn’t have any content anymore, it’s just taking my stuff and claiming it’s debunked while she doesn’t understand physics.
At the end of this video she admits there’s experimental results.
Just like in 1989 when there was 60 successful recreations of cold fusion, you can’t teach someone something that their paycheck depends on them not understanding.
Sabine Hossenfelder@skdh
I had a look at the recent claims that breakthroughs have been achieved in cold fusion.

Von Neumann probe.
Send one spacecraft to a nearby star. When it arrives it mines raw material builds two copies of itself and sends those on to two more stars. Those build copies too. The fleet doubles at every stop.
Traveling below the speed of light a single self replicating machine could reach every star in the galaxy in a few million years. The galaxy is thousands of times older than that. So one civilization at any point in cosmic history should have filled the sky with these probes already.
We see none - the Fermi paradox.

@AllVentured Nah. We’ll have world peace again on Monday. 🌍 ☮️
