Diablo 3, no, it was horrible

The rest you've mentioned were bangers in their own ways however.


That must be useful for the 5 - 10 people that have bought it!

Or... hear me out...people will just get used to paying more ;-)

Not for everything. There’ll be a more economic version down the road. Foldable phones are a new tech even Samsung is close to 2k so everyone’s testing with high costs.

You could have bought an Air and been closer to your Mini than the Pro is...

interesting, I didn’t notice it also hat 1TB storage and 12GB RAM. But the size is maginally smaller only. Still, I agree, would probably have been a better fit.

Am super salty about them killing support for the original Apple Watch Ultra. I, along with many others, bought it on launch day as both an Apple tragic / early adopter and to support what I thought was going to be an exciting new platform.

Instead we barely got a new feature over the 4 years since it launched, and now its been killed (from a software support pov) way ahead of schedule of the vast majority of other Apple devices.

For shame.


Esp for Samsung as they don't have a consumer PC division that they would be concerned about killing...

> As a recent Android foldable phone owner (Google Pixel)

"There are dozens of us!" (not me though, I wouldn't buy a Pixel foldable)


"Bring back the headphone jack, it's what everybody wants and will sell squillions!"

Oh, my mistake, now that you've explained it like this it is magically fun for me now.

Oh, everyone else's mistake; we didn't realize all of human output had to satisfy you...of all people!

I don't get the feeling that they're wrong. No Man's Sky is now more-or-less the game that was originally promised. Many people that bought it at-release are happy with the turnaround, myself included.

If the game doesn't appeal to you, then that's fine too. But overall the game fills an interesting and accessible niche beneath games like X4: Foundations and Elite Dangerous.


This is complete fantasy, though I would be interested in reading a book about this.

It has been interesting to me how AI has for many years given people a way to justify any worst case scenario. Nothing is too far-fetched if at any step you tell yourself the AI will be smarter than you, and thus be able to solve any conceivable obstacle. Oh, if only intelligence were the only bottleneck to power.

It is actually: knowledge, intelligence, communication, and a form of secrecy.

A single intelligent person is bounded in its reach by the network of people they can form around them and by which important/powerful people they can influence either directly or indirectly.

The idea behind the AI breakout is that it’s intelligence is maybe limited, but it will be able to quickly spread and covertly bring many devices into its influence. We already have the tools for formally letting agents talk to each other so it can also create a topology of agents that consists of cells where need to know is applied etc.

There are many forms of power some more obvious, say nation leaders, versus more silent powers such as career politicians or wealthy families or people controlling the media and thence the flow of information.


It's the bobiverse by Dennis E Taylor.

_It’s not just fantasy, it’s plagiarism._

Maybe, but I guess the idea is more centred around how given some amount of time and a feedback loop the agent swarm could in fact spend an unknown amount of resources to achieve its goal. The hugging face story tells us that even given multiple reset rounds the trail was picked back up.

There are many ways one can imagine how this might play out.

- More sophisticated communications techniques e.g. google has been discovered to be watermarking text for some time, why not use it as a message board?

- Maybe get access to an existing botnet and create use small purpose built models to gather intelligence for a target and then exploit to reach goal?

Nothing says the agent swarm needs to install trillion parameter models on Karen's computer. The goal can be executed over as much time as it ever needs. That is something that would make a story I'd like to read but never experience.


Not that far fetched. Most is already possible with todays tech.

The scary stuff is yet to come. The department of war is talking g openly about bombing China if they get ahead of us I. The AI race.
