  • Im back to Balatro after losing all interest in it. Just got a couple more decks to unlock until I can decide I've completed it. I obviously never will (get gold tokens on all the jokers? Lolno) but it will feel like a good point to stop with no regrets.

  • If we're including video games im gonna say mass effect. I didn't give 2 enough of a chance because at the end of ME1 the entire known universe bands together to defeat a single big-bad ship and it's a fully annihilating battle where the good guys barely scrape by. Then thousands of the big-bads turn up at once and the credits roll. Its a devastating ending that really drives home the central themes.

    Then in ME2 your guy(orgirl) just wakes up in hospital after the battle? No chance. I just couldn't get past it long enough to give it a chance. I still have them and I know I should but...

  • It bugs me a little bit how little belief people have in machines potential. The machines have done what "only humans can do and a machine will never" so many times.

    They would never beat a human at chess, until they did.

    They would never pass the Turing test, until they did.

    They would never create art, until they did.

    They would never create music, until they did.

    They would never be able to actually drive a car, until they did.

    Why do we draw the line at skilled work?

  • Not really. In the UK for hourly employees the employer handles all that before you even get your paycheque. When it's payday you have a big breakdown in the slip on what's gone to various taxes and stuff, but you skip all of that and just look at the number that says what's going in your bank.

    If I was self employed, or won the lottery or something I would probably be a little pissed off about the concept.

  • Its the same with music and films. They were so much better in the past and here's the examples. Not included in the examples are the thousands of songs and bands that didn't stand the test of time.
