The Quest hardware is amazing technology, particularly for it’s price.
I just wish the OS wasn’t Facebook.
The Steam Frame looks much more appealing than a Quest 4.

I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.


Only the more recent TV show. The original westworld film was more like Terminator.
I would pick blade runner as the classic bot / human confusion.


Different book, but try We are legion (we are Bob)


None of this makes me want to share a table with them.


That sounds risky and illegal.
I just put items back in the wrong place.


Does “It takes two” count as an EA game?
It’s an older code but it checks out
Is it as good as Google desktop was?


This is a 2005 desktop. I can’t even get it past the bootloader. Ideally I would run Linux on it headless, but i can’t even get to that stage.


My GPU failed on my old (vista) PC and can no longer boot. Should I throw it away?


Google have significantly improved upon Bard.
Sam Altman very much wants to get rid of copyright.
I like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year.
It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse.
Patents should be scrapped completely.
It’s not like monopolies appear out of thin air;
For patents and copyright this is exactly what happens. Adam Smith’s invisible hand of capitalism does not create these monpolistic protections naturally. They are an artificial construct of government. An enforced payment by society to creators and inventors.
I think there is a balance to be made. Some anti capitalist measures are needed to encourage innovation. But the use of patent laws as a defence, or copyright to seek excessive rent are far too aggressive.
Your affection for patents does not disprove my original statement.
Anti free market policies can exist within a capitalist structure.
Historical existence of patents doesn’t destroy capitalism, nor make patents less anti capitalist.
As does Bob. I’m not sure what the specific point you are trying to make here. Do you want longer before the twist is revealed? Because this conversation already let that cat out of the bag.
