  • I think it will happen. Multiplayer video games already match people with bots that are presented as if they were human players, and 99.9% of players don't care. As long as a game makes you feel like you're playing against other humans, most people consider that good enough. Similarly, as long as a bot on Instagram or Twitter feels human enough to be enjoyable to interact with, users won't care that they aren't actually human.

  • As someone who hasn't worked on open source projects, can someone please explain what this means? I know what ActivityPub is and I know what Git pull requests are, but I don't understand what they have to do with each other. Is the idea that this lets you view GitLab pull requests from outside of the GitLab website?

  • This article is talking about teachers who quit in 2021, which was during the pandemic. But the article doesn't mention the impacts of the pandemic at all. Seems like they're leaving out a lot of important context.

  • I see what you mean. In a way, lifestyle and fashion choices are already partially governed by AI, in the sense that Instagram and TikTok recommendation algorithms influence what the user perceives as being trendy. I don't know if we'll get to the point where people are literally letting an AI tell them what to do, but I think AI will only get more and more influential in our lives in subtle ways.

  • Why is everyone saying this is because Stack Overflow is toxic? Clearly the decline in traffic is because of ChatGPT. I can say from personal experience that I've been visiting Stack Overflow way less lately because ChatGPT is a better tool for answering my software development questions.

  • I tried Pokemon Sleep and I didn't like it. It's way more complicated than it needs to be. It's very much a typical mobile game, with lots of meters, currencies, timers, login rewards, etc. And it doesn't make any sense. Why do I need to feed a snorlax to make it bigger? What exactly is my sleep doing? Does the snorlax represent the player, even though the player is clearly a separate entity from the snorlax? Why should I care about friendship meters? It's all ridiculous.

  • I liked it. I don't think it's one of his best movies or anything but I thought it was funny and pleasant to watch. My biggest complaints are that there wasn't much of a story and Jason Schwartzman's character wasn't very compelling or likeable IMO. But most of the other characters were great.

  • I can’t give you any idea how well it works in practice, because Framework broke the fans on its only GPU module in the United States, Patel admitted to me.

    I wonder if they're lying about this. Maybe the fans are super loud or something and they didn't want the reporter to know.
