That’s the fatal flaw with AI. If you can replace the base-level workers in a skilled field, competition will lead to most places doing that. 5-10 years later, the industry has a shortage of mid-level workers.

Nah, opinions of them have been sliding for a while. The software licensing stuff is just a topic that attracts certain vultures, making coverage suddenly explode.

Anti-cheat, not DRM. Two different products from the same company.

Intercept isn’t the right word, but what they are doing is shady. The Bing search result for “Google” has results pushed down until they are nearly off the screen. They place what looks like a Google doodle (exploiting the fact that Google replaces their logo all the time) and a search box in the middle of the screen. It tricks the inattentive user into thinking it did what they meant for it to do, while still keeping them in Bingland.

They all focus on letting anyone run fast, which just makes them feel like autopilot.

Haste lets you run fast and actually gives the player control. It’s what a 3D Sonic should be.

It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.

Both Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.

Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It’s sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

The claim that they are doing a clean-room implementation is bullshit. The only way any of these models are able to make any working code is by being trained on every bit of code that could be scraped from the internet. Unless the project you are cloning was released after the model was trained, it was trained on the code. It may be a tiny fragment of the training data, but it still saw it.

They didn’t even colorpick-paint it out, which would be super easy with this style. They used a sloppy content-fill magic erase tool that smudged the panel line out into the cell.

I haven’t used RCN/Astound since COVID, but they were pretty decent before then. Far better than Comcast.
