I fully support AI taking over stupid, meaningless jobs if it also means the people that used to do those jobs have financial security and can go do a job they love.

Software developer Afas has decided to give certain employees one day a week off with pay, and let AI do their job for that day. If that is the future AI can bring, I'd be fine with that.

Caveat is that that money has to come from somewhere so their customers will probably foot the bill meaning that other employees elsewhere will get paid less.

But maybe AI can be used to optimise business models, make better predictions. Less waste means less money spent on processes which can mean more money for people. I then also hope AI can give companies better distribution of money.

This of course is all what stakeholders and decision makers do not want for obvious reasons.

I used to be an optimist for the implementation of A(G/S)Iafter reading Wait But Why's explanation of it.

I think AI can have huge positive effects on AI. But the way marketing has ran with it... Everything suddenly needs to have the label even if it doesn't really qualify. The environmental impact of people doing stupid, unnecessary things with AI is huge. Not to mention societal impact of AI companions.

If AI was designed by any other species than humans, it might've been interesting.

I don't ovulate but some of these resonate

Er wordt beweerd dat de Schotten hun Scotch egg naar Groningen hebben gebracht en dat de Groningers de aaierbal daarvan hebben afgeleid.

Verdere informatie hierover is ook op te vragen door even te zoeken op 'Aaierbal Z'

Which country are you in

Pay the debts of myself and all my close friends.

House with a yard is already a check for me but I have a neighbour on both sides. I want a standing house.

Then I'd invest a lot in art, my own and others. Work less, play more. See the sights. Meet people.

It's been a while since an actual shower thought was posted

sRGB is fine for gaming and your DAW, DCI-P3 is only useful if you want very accurate colours. The DCI-P3 one has higher frame rate, but it'll have more latency. You could go for the HDR variant, but HDR is mostly bad on laptop screens. Apart from that it uses a lot of battery power.

For some things, the i7 works a bit more efficient than the i9, the i9 is a beast but that also makes it bulky. And power hungry.

32 GB RAM is solid, I wouldn't go for 16.

And for the graphics thing, well... If it's photo/video editing and you don't plan on using an external display as a default, you might want to consider the 3rd option for a screen. DCI-P3 is much broader than sRGB.

Edit: oh and I don't know what the upgradability is on this thing but you might wanna go for the 1TB drive just in case.

And if I can give you a bit of Windows advice: see if you can chop up that disk in two partitions before you start installing stuff. Keep your Windows partition, the part of the disk where you only keep Windows, at around 120GB. This will cause Windows not to create tens of gigabytes of cache files on the disk, freeing up space for more content. And something I always immediately do is turn hibernate off (powercfg.exe /hibernate off) in order not to get a hiberfile.sys the size of your used RAM.

4060 or 7600XT but that's still very pricey. It really depends on what you call graphic heavy. The latest video games will not run on an Xe. Then again, they'll not run great on a 4070 either. If you need to do stuff like video editing, especially rendering, will take longer on an Xe but will work. A 4070 will be quicker but you'll be far better off with a Quadro or whatever they call their professional series now. They do add to the price but you can settle for a lower model. If you're looking at just stuff like photo editing, an Xe will do fine.

I wouldn't look to hard for a decent gpu. Matter of fact, you might even get one without a discrete gpu but one with decent integrated graphics. You'll be fine with a Ryzen 7 or whatever Intel's equivalent currently is. Get a 9 if you want it to have some extra oomph. But save yourself the cost of getting something with a 4070 or 4080.

He is, yes. He's Bruce's nemesis.

Evan Almighty was a horrible sequel to a decent film. I guess I'm just a tad older than you got having that opinion.

Thanks, I thought it was pretty clever

Is that regular behaviour in Portugal? I wonder how the average João responds to being petted

Yep they noticed a while ago that they can up the price of the completely ad-free experience, call it super extra premium and create 15 tiers below it, gradually giving you more annoyances and pretending it's necessary to keep their business afloat. These are multi million dollar profits they're making, it is in no way necessary. This is just profit maximalisation over the back of ignorant people who will do anything to pay a little less without knowing they're continuously paying more.

Oh yeah I never got into things like tracking my MMR or trying to learn all the crazy stuff that goes on just above my rank. I'm perfectly okay with keeping the ball low and passing to my teammates and having a good game like that. I get super annoyed if my team mates try for the 7th time in one match to do a flip reset and not rotating ever.

If I even play now, I just play a couple of casual games with rando's or ranked with a friend. After 10 to 15 games I'm completely done.

Yes ads, specifically tv and radio ads. They are designed to be bad, because either a very bad or very good ad sticks in the mind. It sickens me that a noble art line psychology is misappropriated for commerce.

The thing that bothers me most is that it should be easy to get rid of, if we were more conscious of what us going on in front of our eyes and collectively say 'no'.

The idea of having personalised ads, so you don't get to see super bad ads or ads for stuff you don't want or need ever, is kind of okay. You just really shouldn't want that kind of data in the hands of commercial conglomerates.

Champ 2 in 2s currently, it's pretty much the only thing I play.

Actually I've only been playing casual of late, I find the toxicity a bit lower there. You might actually have a couple of decent games with a nice team mate.

But I've been playing since it wad kinda new, I was among the ones who had to pay 20 euros just to buy the game on pc. I played it with a DualShock 3 with an XInput wrapper. When I started I didn't even have a DualShock so I played mouse and keyboard. And I think some of the hours are just having the game open but not playing.

Rocket League, by far. 1500 hours or so.
