This will never happen, and by that I mean This will never yield something worth anything remotely resembling $500 bln. in value. I don't have to really read the article, actually. A simple character judgement will suffice to disqualify this crew. Whose character? I dunno pick one2. For this-ish amount we could more or less solve mankind's energy needs with fusion and battery and renewables, but no. Just fuckin torch dis beesh. (Kamala did flip-flop on fracking, after all, never forget) But yeah you know; Possibly the worst shit imaginable, seemingly on purpose, out of principle. Maybe you're [proverbial] all in, what the real badbois call "bullish" (it's very technical) on the atomic apocalypse with your Polymarket dark money pool, ketamine magic carpet doing the 330 millionth rug-pull, the nat 2020 memer. Reading that sentence out loud on TV. Because you're a fucking genius, champ.3. Do y'all ever rhetoric-copehttps://hubski.com/pub/470181 The populist phantom #goodlongread #politicshttps://hubski.com/pub/470181Trump’s movement to “Make America Great Again” appeals to a deep fear of diversity and social change. That sort of fear is commonplace in all societies, and it has often roiled democratic politics. Yet the threat Trump poses to American democracy has little to do with “populism.” It doesn’t come from ordinary citizens immersed in “culture wars” — even from those who stormed the Capitol on 6 January. They were and are a sideshow. The real threat is from the Republican officeholders who, hours later, supported Trump’s effort to decertify the election outcome. It was not some rush of anti-democratic feeling that threatened American democracy in those months; it was the machinations of political elites determined to entrench themselves in power.https://hubski.com/pub/470180Swatch Encyclopedia #horologyhttps://hubski.com/pub/470180This one's for stevehttps://hubski.com/pub/470179Minecraft with Object Impermanence #ai #gaminghttps://hubski.com/pub/470179Paper here.The problem, as far as I can tell, is that if all this works perfectly, this will be simply the human-programmed Minecraft we already have, except far more expensive to run. The original Minecraft is already infinitely playable, thanks to the way it randomly generates a 7x-larger-than-planet-Earth landscape with each new game. You can't use generative AI like this to get a new kind of game, only a better simulation of the game you trained it on...Like with so much generative AI, I'm afraid to be excited where this leads. Counterfeit games where the first several seconds of gameplay appear to be a new game, but then it messily devolves into minecraft? An "indispensable" tool that is worse and more expensive but somehow game designers are required to use it as a starting point except it's actually way more work because there isn't even a game engine?https://hubski.com/pub/470174Frankenstein inspired by suicide of Mary Shelley’s half-sister, book reveals #bookhttps://hubski.com/pub/470174https://hubski.com/pub/470153Mystery-o-Matic: Solve a murder mystery every day #gamehttps://hubski.com/pub/470153https://hubski.com/pub/470150Pubski: January 15th, 2025 #pubski #bootlegpubskihttps://hubski.com/pub/470150https://hubski.com/pub/470148Interesting thread on the arrest of President Yoon in S.
