They’ve already begun to rebound, but with GTA6 allegedly around the corner, this was a pretty good chance to pick up take 2 stock.

That being said, as we can all see, genie 3 is less like a game maker and more like “real time video generation from a base image with limited interaction for 60 seconds” wherein a user can move a camera around and maybe there’s a character that camera is centered on. It’s not anything that’s going to compete with a real video game. There’s no interaction, at best objects can crash into each other, sometimes, while others they act… Strangely. There’s no inputs allowing for any sort of user action other that camera movement and camera focus movement. It will strongly resist deviating from the initial image generation. And the classic AI concept of “everything is uncanny and also changes every time you look at it with no consistency” is there, too. You wanna see a cat that has a different number of legs every time the camera circles around? A boar whose butt is sometimes a head? Go ahead and use this “world explorer”

Having met the guy while working at activision this does not surprise me even a little bit

I’m 100% with you that’s clearly, demonstrably bullshit

Haven’t read the article, but the argument made in the past for these things has been “The prizes have no value and there is no way to ‘cash out’ therefore it’s not gambling.”

Uptown? I’m talking Powderhorn. I think we have different definitions for close right now

It’s not uncommon in firearms training programs to note that it’s harder to be sued by a dead man

Yeah, the same ones that were actually humans in costumes every time they were shown off for years

This. Minneapolis police are a nightmare and I’m not sure what methods have historically worked for fixing that, but I do know that I have friends who live in neighborhoods that MPD won’t go to, not because they’re dangerous, but because they’re near George Floyd square

Friday, not Thursday, fwiw

Absolutely did. A TON of Bernie bros would go on to vote for Trump, and Trump ran on a platform of “establishment bad,” so having his opponent be the MOST establishment option, who just won their primary through interference by the establishment could not have been better. Not to mention that the Hillary campaign and DNC SUPPORTED Trump’s run until he won the primary

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I broach this with work? Do I call in sick? Do I express explicitly that I am striking? Do I just not show up? Are there legal protections for general strikes (hahahahahahaha, in this country?)?

Of course. Safety systems to keep Karen and her passengers safe. Good luck, everybody else

I’ve been wishing for modular EV parts that can be build it yourself for ages. I’ve been TOLD that the problem is street legality: parts don’t come with a VIN, parts don’t assure required safety systems. It would be amazing, but for street driving we’d need a massive shift in the legal system to accommodate them

As a ddg user who regularly recognizes that the core functionality is flatly worse than google, startpage sounds like a great option, assuming it allows disabling AI. Searxng also sounds worth investigating further. Thanks for the rundown on all of these!

I will toss in, don’t starve together is very much NOT beginner friendly. Playing with someone less experienced with video games can turn into effectively playing with one hand behind your back as you try to cover the needs for both of you, the world is threatening, and the penalty for death is high. Might not be well suited to what you’re looking for

I’m borderline necroposting, but I just picked up humble’s decked out collection (still available for a little over a week) and noticed Haste, which looks like it has very tasty movement and might be up your alley.

Been a while since I’ve lived in MN but the Star Tribune is the big one

What you didn’t like that classic book on how to raise your child, God the Rod and Your Child’s Bod?
