These high prices are not from people talking to chatbots.
They’re using agentic tools where their prompt spawns a lot of bots which talk to themselves/the other bots and they keep going until someone (usually a higher quality reasoning model) decides that they’ve met the goals of the task that they were assigned.
So instead of 1 prompt and 1 response, you get 1 prompt and 800 responses across 5 different bots each using really large context windows.
It’s fine guys, the FBI has already caught all of the human traffickers and terrorists so going after people for photoshopping their image in the wrong way is the next priority.
I feel that companies like Microsoft have forgotten that bug bounties and ethical reporting are the compromise where they agree to pay a fair amount for the bugs and are given time to fix them and the security researcher forgoes the 10x price they could get on the black market.
Given the rise in mercenary hacking/spyware corporations, the bug researchers could probably get way more money through those alternate, and still legal, channels.
So I hear.
If a fifth grader uses copy.fail to gain root access on their Chromebook I say we let them have some extra Minecraft time.
That doesn’t change the point that the people who designed, built and operated the spacecraft in question here are the ones who own the accomplishment, regardless of ownership or funding.
I hope the world can survive the $0.38 worth of advertising that my comment adds to his trillion dollar bank account.
Supporting SpaceX financially contributes to his bank account, posting on social media does nothing.
The engineers that did this are great, I don’t care about Elon Musk… I’ll choose a different space company to launch my satellites.
And, it shouldn’t need to be said, Elon Musk has exactly zero to do with this other than paying.
This is a conversation between engineers and physics.
Don’t be evil
Hyper scaling was always about cornering the computer market, It was never about providing us some vastly new and superior service.
Exactly, its a method of taking tens of billions of dollars in capital and buying a near monopoly. No other providers can compete if the hyperscalers buy all of the hardware, driving up the prices while also selling the service at a loss.
Nobody working out of their garage with a cool idea for a better service can compete if they can’t get hardware and have to charge double what the hyperscalers are charging because they can’t burn capital for years.
It’s a practice that should be considered illegal market manipulation, because that’s what it i
e: extraneous ‘completely’
It looks great and runs great. The only gripe I have is that HDR isn’t a feature (and the mods that turn it on are just reverse tonemapping, not true HDR)
UE5 has a bad reputation in the community due to developers making UE5 games without understanding how to use the UE5 engine, leading to performance problems. Subnautica 2 is very well tuned and so those criticism don’t apply.
If you liked the gameplay loop in the first one and enjoyed the experience of learning about the behaviors/uses of all of the various flora and fauna then this game is exactly that but there’s a new world of things to learn, you get new kinds of equipment/powers and it looks prettier.
They sold 2M copies in the first 12h, I think they’ll hit that target.
Modern day “It takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun”.
Jesus. It probably does happen. 😭
If I ever want to know about rich people using shady tricks in order to get tax breaks, there is one content creator that always delivers: https://www.floridapoliticalreview.com/trumps-mar-a-lago-tax-break/
Yeah, I meant all of the substations, roads, police, etc that will now need to have a bit more funding.
I don’t know a good way of solving it, but the ‘I can just go to another state’ gives these companies way too much bargaining power and the net result is that all states lose out on income that they shouldn’t have to have given up in the first place.
It seems absurd, it isn’t like regular people can just say ‘Well, I’m going to buy a house in the next county over unless you guys give me a break on my property tax’ and then get to live there property tax free (though, now that I think about it, I’m sure there are people rich enough to do this too :/)
Yeah, it’s a really dumb way of doing things that should be regulated as it results in essentially every major industrial site operating tax free for years because they can always play states off of one another.
Meanwhile the citizens of the state are going to spend years eating the costs of building the new infrastructure required to support the new operation.
What a shitty thing to do
You could get 2.5 quadruple A games for that price
