This is based on a misunderstanding of how prices are set. The price is set based on what the market can bear. Costs pretty much only determine if the thing is worth making, given that.

It's the same reason rent doesn't go down when property taxes do. I mention this not to tear you down, but because it's a common argument for bad policy.

Love that cozy sci-fi. The Last Gifts of the Universe was also really good. Mostly a story about people in space.

Scorn was worth a shot if you've already played Soma and RE. The mechanics are... Fine. The art is jaw-dropping. It's like Amnesia if H. R. Giger had been the art director.

Because the same legion of full-time Eric Cartman impersonators smears the same hateful dogshit over normal comment threads. This is a lot more effective than individually banning every member of the inevitable asshat brigade. There's room for instances that federate with them, but it probably shouldn't be the default.

The problem is that the articles from exploring heads take an average of two sentences to reach an obvious and malicious lie. There is no room for discussion under those circumstances.

For those who don't respect the authority of conservatives as the arbiters of reality, they have no purpose except as a glimpse into the abyss. It's like having your stream of memes interrupted every few pages by a graphic crime scene photo, only with the dread that comes with knowing that the criminal has a wide support base.

Generative design is already a mature technology. NASA already uses it for spaceship parts. It'll probably be used for bridges when large-format 3D printers that can manage the complexity it introduces.

Genuine question: Based on what? GPT4 was a huge improvement on GPT3, and came out like three months ago.

I seriously doubt this technology will pass by without a complete collapse of the labor market. What happens after is pretty much a complete unknown.

I don't know exactly where to start here, because anyone who claims to know the shape of the next decade is kidding themself.

Broadly:

AI will decocratize creation. If technology continues on the same pace that it has for the last few years, we will soon start to see movies and TV with hollywood-style production values being made by individual people and small teams. The same will go for video games. It's certainly disruptive, but I seriously doubt we will want to go back once it happens. To use the article's examples, most people prefer a world with street view and Uber to one without them.

The same goes for engineering.
