Yup. Last year some Harvard students put together a demo where they used Meta's smart glasses and commercial apps to scan people's faces, find their social media profiles, and summarize info about them, like where they live, work, their phone numbers, and names of their relatives in real time.
They're doing the thing where they upload a video and then change the thumbnail and title of the video every few days which I've only seen done by all the low effort click bait channels. It's what finally got me to install the dearrow extension which swaps titles and videos of YouTube videos to be more informative and less click bait.
I have a friend who has worked for 3 companies over 6 years. She has never once released a game as they were all cancelled before release. She found out she lost her job at one company after reading an interview about a bunch of studios being shut down. One of them was the place she worked. Even her boss apparently didn't know.
The studio she works at now initially hired her for completely remote work, but they've since changed their minds and now she has to drive over 100km to work every day. She was going to quit but she's sticking with it for now in the hopes of finishing at least one game.
Gambling is typically regulated so in many areas a verbal bet would be considered unlicensed gambling and illegal. Courts won't enforce illegal agreements.
Surprisingly, we’ll prove that standard scientific tests are not powerful enough to determine that the dice are unfair while playing a game.
Here's a casino cheating consultant explaining how casinos check for loaded dice. (The rest of the video is also really interesting!) You spin the dice. Balanced dice spin normally, loaded dice spin in a lopsided way.
I recently learned about passkeys which are a way to sign into an account without a username and password. Instead, your device has a key file that you unlock with some biometrics like your thumbprint and the site will log you in. I thought it was cool but then I learned Firefox is one of the only browsers that doesn't support passkeys.
My grandfather was an avid gardener and would always say "gardening is the best way to overpay for your tomatoes". It can be a fun hobby but there's no way you're growing food cheaper than farmers.
Edit: if you think you can produce food more efficiently than professional farmers, you should quit your job and do it professionally yourself! We can all use some cheaper food!
