I think it's important to still give a critical eye towards the use of AI, but at this point I think it's clear that not only is the use of AI going to stop (even once the bubble bursts), but also that the top-end models are just becoming more and more capable every month.

A couple years ago I was giving GPT-3 complex prompts and laughing at how bad and error-prone the output was, but last week I was using GPT-5 to give me information in a field I have little knowledge of, and it's giving me perfect answers in seconds that takes me 20+ minutes to verify as correct, and that's tens of times faster than actually learning the field myself. Even if I were to take a year to learn it all myself, I'd then need to not only retain all of that information, but also keep up-to-date on advancements in that field, which an AI will just do over time. This way I can concentrate on the fields of work I already know and follow, but can dabble in other fields without expensive retraining or bugging others in those fields with basic questions.

Looks like the story keeps changing, it was being reported as "three down arrows" a few hours ago, now, as you say, "an up, right and three down arrows" which I absolutely agree is a Helldivers 2 reference.

Just like the supposed "transgender ideology" that turned out to be the TRN stamp from Turan Ammo, I daresay the details of the other engravings will change a couple more times before they actually release pictures of them.

He put the Antifa ↓↓↓ on there too, though. Along with another casing with the lyrics to Bella Ciao. I can't see someone that's not in the anti-fascist space thinking of putting those markings onto casings, honestly.

I would love for it to be a Groyper just to have every conservative awkwardly ignore that the past couple days happened and scramble to cover their tracks.

Edit: They have now been named as Tyler Robinson, and the evidence points to them being very much in-line with Antifa 😔

Remember, if you recognise him - you don't.

Let's face it, Starmer's tongue is shoved so far up Trump's fettid arsehole, he can taste his mouthwash. Trump only has to tweet about it and that spineless twat will capitulate and make it the government's most important mission to ensure "international cooperation", or some BS.

Wow, I remember finding that story 20-odd years ago but could never remember the title or author. Pretty good short story IIRC, and more relevant than ever, it's themes have been on my mind on and off quite a bit these past few years.

After around 16,000 hours, I've found WoW to be a lot more fun playing with others than just restricting myself to open world and full-PUG content. The last expansion was decent (story was a bit meh, but gameplay was great) and the current expansion has been okay so far. I just hope they can get balancing right on events going forward, since it's getting tiring seeing them create a massive artificial grind then walk back on it a week or two later.

After playing for 2000 hours, this one is an easy recommendation from me, too. The game was quite light on endgame content at release, but due to the design of the game, now the vast majority of the game occurs at 'endgame' and can be very fun. I love how I can come back after a couple of years, buy access to any content I missed in the meantime and have a character that doesn't need to grind levels or gear, just jump straight into story mode and get caught up on the story. Even better when you don't have to worry about making your playtime feel like it needs to be 'worth it', since you don't need to pay monthly to play.

Exactly the issue I had on my laptop. Plug in an external display to extend the desktop and the laptop screen turns off. Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to get the damn thing to work properly until I gave up.

It comes from the publishers in the 90s. They needed an easy way to tell stores/distributors how popular they thought each of their games would be, to help them decide how many of a certain title the distributor should order. The games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for "this is a starshot, we're hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs". That then lead to more and more games being marked as AAA due to budgets getting increased, and the whole system became a bit redundant.

A Razer product that doesn't work as advertised? Consider me shocked.
