Lack of familiarity with AI PCs leads to what the study describes as "misconceptions," which include the following: 44 percent of respondents believe AI PCs are a gimmick or futuristic; 53 percent believe AI PCs are only for creative or technical professionals; 86 percent are concerned about the privacy and security of their data when using an AI PC; and 17 percent believe AI PCs are not secure or regulated.

I guess we don't have to worry about our data because the people selling us the machines tell us that our concerns are a misconception.

Also kind of the manufacturer to tell us that their gimmick is not, in fact, a gimmick

In the article they mention that there's specialty ovens that are apparently only available to work with natural gas for making the perfect bagel.

The article also summarizes my opinion that if natural gas is making people sick and contributing to their displacement, then it's pretty easy to do without bagels.

I also kind of refuse to believe that it would be impossible to make an electric bagel oven. Innovate or die, you know?

I hope they don't trip over that bar, it's dangerous how they leave it on the floor

Oh wait, maybe those are my expectations of Rockstar

Often times, people learn that the stove is hot by touching it.

It's easier to blame the stove than the person who touched it. But if you laugh when you watch it happen, you're probably not laughing at the stove.

Oh hey, that's awesome! I'm glad someone found something I said helpful 😃

I don't ever want to oversell a self-help book because their usefulness really depends on the person reading it, but honestly this one has been life changing for me too.

I don't really run a lot of cyberpunk, but I'm all about subverting player expectations. The trick is usually to make them feel like they got something out of the skill, while also ensuring that they don't circumvent the whole thing with a single check.

So say you look up the evil bad guy's social media to find out where they live. Then you discover that they live in a hardened bunker only accessible from the private elevator of their corporate penthouse office. The knowledge of their whereabouts is useful, but it's still going to require more strategizing to figure out how to penetrate it.

Or if they're a major public figure, you might discover that their social media is being run by a botnet. You might not get your target's exact location, but it gives you a chance to direct the players in an investigation at the botnet's physical address.

Hacking the CCTV camera might determine that Joe did it. But maybe the assailant was disguised, or Joe got deepfaked, or your hacker discovers that someone has deleted / corrupted the footage. All of these scenarios have potential to turn the investigation in another direction.

If you have a hack-happy player then you probably want to do something to beef up the villains' technological prowess. Ultimately you do want to reward the player for using their skillset, but you also want to challenge them too. Every hero needs a foil, after all.

It would probably be disingenuous to have every villain suddenly be a computer prodigy though. But it's not unreasonable to have a few high-profile hacking antagonists or organizations. And if you're the sort of villain who has the resources to wield a private army or a lavish ultra-rich lifestyle, it stands to reason that you've probably contracted out your IT needs

Pepe has been sensationalized for a while now in the media as being a hate symbol. I think it's because you see it largely on 4chan which traditional media demonizes.

I'm not on 4chan, but it seems like it has similar problems to Steam: a large userbase and poor content moderation gives insufferable people a platform to spread hate from. These problems aren't unique to either platform, but the news likes to latch on to them.

I hate that some people consider Pepe to be a hate symbol. He's just an expressive frog, dang it

If I don't tell everyone how hard I'm working and what a success I am, then how will people know that I've got that grindset?

We should normalize the cat's 18-hour rest day, I'm sure we'd all be happier

With the sheer volume of training data required, I have a hard time believing that the data sanitation is high quality.

If I had to guess, it's largely filtered through scripts, and not thoroughly vetted by humans. So data sanitation might look for the removal of slurs and profanity, but wouldn't have a way to find misinformation or a request that the reader stops existing.

Oh my gosh, I was not prepared for that.
As if CSS didn't give me enough reasons to cry.

When I get to hell they're going to make me work on the front end.

It's all going to be inline HTML and Inspect Element isn't available in their browser

Bold strategy. When people complain about not having content it's the best time to whine about having given away something free.

Anything except for charging a reasonable price for DLC, right?
