…centered around how dangerous the new model is lets them maintain their good guy image while raising prices. By their own admission they’re only “weeks ahead” of OpenAI (personally i think this is all nonsense marketing), if that claim is true then they can’t afford to hold it back for long.
Because that model would presumably be released to the “public” (paying customers) at some point in the near future to maintain their competitive advantage. Unless, that is, they need to jack up the price to make their business make sense. In that case, a marketing campaign…
This is a humiliating performance from the Rockets. The talent gap between these teams is enormous and they’re getting worked, can’t remember the last time I’ve seen anything like it.
I wonder if all the Claude cyber-security threat stories were laying the groundwork for this. “Our model is just too dangerous for people to be able to easily access” would be a pretty narratively satisfying excuse for a company that loves to position itself as the ethical alternative.
Tucker Carlson’s new “I’m sorry” podcast is designed to be a trojan horse, in the first 10 minutes his guest is blaming everything on immigrants and anti-white sentiment. Fortunately it’s a terrible trojan horse, his guest spends 10 minutes talking about how big tobacco got shafted lol
if you’re at all talented you’re obviously gonna get the hell out of there, probably already have. And if you’re just there for the paycheck you’re not gonna give them great data and you’re probably already using claude for 90% of your work anyway lol. White collar death spiral is wild to see
You earned your retirement there’s no shame in it.
Nah you’re soft now, the pit is a distant memory. bet you haven’t even disposed of a carcass this year.
Far be it from me to weigh in on your frivolous Canadian games, but I find the Duck a far more upstanding, salubrious mascot to play for than the Oil Men. I fear you’ve made a fool of yourself, not for the first time. But again, far be it from me to weigh in. On your foolishness, that is.
This is so cool!
The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"
Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.
it’s really good. we got a pet trex last night and it’s just a little 2d jpeg that bounces alongside whatever character you give it to. And you can make your own, so obviously we’re gonna put Olive in the game
The new Tomodachi Life is great, watched my gf play for hours last night. It’s a game made by creative, fun people that gives you the encouragement and the tools to be creative and fun yourself. Would’ve consumed me and my siblings lives if it had existed when we were kids.
I think there’s like a 97% chance GTA VI is amazing, Rockstar has some of the best devs in the world and an unlimited budget, but it’ll be pretty funny if it’s a mess.
Everyone is always yelling at me to give them the antidote. There'll be time for that later. Right now let's discuss what you think of my latest outfit.
Gonna put my marker down: 15 million copies sold
I’ve thought the new Tomodachi Life was going to be a mega-hit since I saw the trailer and I’m even more convinced of that now. Physical copies were sold out at Best Buy and Target today. I think people are dying for some whimsy.
I’m hoping it pops off enough that they eventually do a patch. It really should not be a lot of work lol
Genuine question, and I’ll refrain from editorializing: Are you that people under the age of 40 overwhelmingly hate her, regardless of party affiliation? If so, how do you reckon with that?
I’d be extremely concerned if people WERENT leaving nasty voicemails lol
I always liked his quote about how it’s nearly impossible to be educated in a country that despises an independent mind. Makes me strangely optimistic. The greatest American thinkers arose in a country like that. And, inevitably, they will again in this period of difficulty.
You can find 4050 laptops for around that price pretty regularly. They’re atrocious, dgmw, but they’ll play CS2/Fortnite/whatever other live service game kids are interested in. Used to work at an after school program and they were surprisingly common, maybe that’s changed in the last 5 years tho
Gaming, that’s basically it. Maybe AI if you’re running stuff locally and don’t wanna spend 5k for a mac with 128gb of unified memory. But for literally everyone else it’s obvious.
I'll be real, one of the things that makes the Maine senate race so annoying is how much gas a certain candidate gets in leftist media, meanwhile Abdul is a much better speaker and way more competent at this moment.
Also any restrictions on gun ownership are gonna be enforced in such a way that makes it as difficult as possible for non-whites to get guns, we know how this goes. Just trying to save any prospective progressives the trouble. Just say you support 2a and avoid the topic
Sorry to bang on about the 2a shit but here’s another example of why it’s political suicide to run on limiting access to guns right now. We’re just not in a place where anyone wants to hear that, I don’t care how great your plan is everyone’s gonna hear “the state wants to disarm me”
Hills have eyes ass nazi, hope he gets what’s coming.
I thought very highly of Garcia after last year but you’re right he’s lived up to expectations. I really wanna see Bobby go on a heater, it’s been a minute.
And yeah we’re 7-10 in a middling division it’s totally salvageable, it’s just been a dreary start in every sense.
We’re so boring man. Just no juice. Everyone but Isbel has been playing, at best, slightly below expectations, and Vinny has been horrific. Annoying.
