The UN needs an army or at least a sanctioning body that can do real things.

I 100%d sable and only found it mildly frustrating in certain parts. Pretty good game overall.

I wish there were more games like it where you could just enjoy the world instead of it being all about some missions.

I can make up my own songs with lyrics that I want to sing.

Lately I’ve been working on one called “these people are nuts”.

Completing botw became more of a chore than anything else. I couldn’t get all the way through tears of the kingdom. The chores in that one just compounded. I managed to somehow light up the entire underworld and yet my gear was too fucking terrible to face the end bosses.

Botw was very cool at times, but it had a few things that made it utterly frustrating to play. The weapons breaking and having to watch Link go “uhh eeefff eeeff ooof” on the side of a cliff for hours was just painful and purposeless.

To your point, it seems like no game can manage to have an expansive, explorable world that’s actually rewarding to explore. Maybe there is an exception out there but I haven’t encountered it.

Often it’s climbing.

I’m looking at you, breath of the wild.

You’re not wrong that AI makes human style mistakes, but a human can learn, or at least generally doesn’t have to be taught the same fucking lesson at least once a week for a year (or gets fired well before then).

This is the point nobody seems to get. Especially people that haven’t worked with the technology.

It just does not have the ability to learn in any meaningful way. A human can learn a new technique and move to master simple new techniques in a couple of hours. AI just keeps falling back on its training data no matter how many times you tell it to stop. It has no other option. It would need to be re-trained with better material in order to consistently do what you want it to do, but nobody is really re-training these things…they’re using the “foundational” models and at most “fine-tuning” them…and fine-tuning only provides a quickly punctured facade…it eventually falls back to the bulk of its learning material.

This is my take with it too. They seem to be good at creating “high fidelity” mock-ups, and creating a basic framework for something, but try to even get them to change a background color or something and they just lie to you.

They’re basically a good tool for stubbing stuff out for a web application…which, it’s insane that we had to jump through all of these hoops and spend unknown billions in order to get that. At this point, I would assume that we have a rapid application development equivalent for web apps…but maybe not.

All of the “frameworks” involved in front-end application delivery certainly don’t seem to provide any benefit of speeding up development cycles. Front-end development seems worse today than when I used to be a full-time full stack engineer (and I had fucking IE6 to contend with at the time).

Why the fuck would anyone use a guid as a hostname?

My favorite I’ve seen in the category was when they had hostnames that were basically the IP address decorated with some bullshit. Like yeeeeeeeeah, that totally makes fucking sense. 😆

That’s great we really need to get the AIs playing the game for me so I’ll have more time to spend on things I enjoy: like standing in the bread line.

Lol

It’s obvious that Windows and Microsoft remain as evil as they were in the 00s when they basically singlehandedly held back web development with ie6 for a fucking decade.

Is atlassian scum? Confluence was acting all kinds of fucking terrible today.

I sense my IT career is over

Me too. Honestly, even if it never deflates I think long term I’m out.

Is there anything we can do with these skills other than enrich billionaire tech bro assholes? I tried very briefly tonight to look for nonprofits that are looking for software people and saw nothing but search engine mismatches.

You will own nothing and love it, feudal peasants!

I don’t

This lady seems like such a fucking idiot.

Sure, but like, they sound rare. It’s right in the name. That’s why dumbass Trumpo behaves like China is hoarding rare jewels from him and cries for Mommy to do something.

There is no ethical printer, but it is a Brother
