But did the officer turned into a frog? We’re assuming the AI messed up but maybe he actually did. It’s important to check these things.

I’m definitely putting that on my dating profile. Sluter than a sheep

You know what you are absolutely right — Organisations are indeed falling for what is known as the doorman fallacy: reducing rich and complex human roles to a single task and replacing people with AI. This overlooks the nuanced interactions and adaptability humans bring to their work.

If it worked the way that it does in sci-fi I’d have no problem with it. If it could give us cures for cancer and reactionless drives everyone would be happy.

But it doesn’t work like that and if they keep going along the lines of Large Language Models it’ll never work like that. AI as it is right now is a barely functional toy that is being misused by virtually everyone and major businesses alike.

I am perfectly happy for AI research to continue but they need to be realistic about its capabilities and be honest about their valuations of companies. AI research should still be at the level of “in the lab”, it is definitely not a product that should be commercially available yet.

The thing is if space-based manufacturing became the norm then it would cease to be impractical to implement regulations and oversight. The reason it’s difficult to do now is because getting to spaces difficult, but for space-based manufacturing to be feasible that problem already has to be solved.

I’m just confused about what products can be manufactured completely autonomously, in a 0G environment, and are profitable enough to make space-based manufacture economical.

I haven’t heard of anything on the list until we get to 8, and I only recognise the name I have no idea what the gameplay is like.

I’ve heard of four of the games on the list and it’s the four you would think.

Probably Pavlov it’s basically just CoD multiplayer, plus a less janky Gary’s Mod, in VR. I’ve just check my stats and I have months worth of play time. It’s also a hell of a workout.

The trailers on the steam page don’t really do it justice. It’s mostly about the community.

If you’re into racing there’s also Gran Turismo, I’m pretty sure Euro truck / American truck simulator also supports VR, as of course does Elite Dangerous and if you’re prepared to buy into it Star Citizen.

There’s also loads and loads of indie games but I don’t really know about those because my VR experience has been exclusively PlayStation limited, where those titles are not available. But I do know that ultra wings is extremely good because I’ve played it on a friend’s headset.

I normally wouldn’t say I was particularly interested in the VR chat style community playroom thing either but I had a lot of fun with Rec Room which is essentially the same thing but is available on PlayStation. The problem with those games is they tend to have a lot of kids in them who shouldn’t really be in there since most of those games are 18 plus. But I take the view that if they’re in there, then they’re fair play, and you can just shoot them if they’re being annoying.

Oh and there’s a dungeons and dragons simulator which is very good. If you’re into dungeons and dragons. Oh and loads of poker games.

Sorry this is a bit rambly, I just keep thinking of titles I’ve played over the years.

The thing about VR games is they don’t tend to get huge advertising budgets because it’s still quite a niche market so it looks like there isn’t really a lot of options. But if you actually have a look on the VR page there’s loads. There’s even quite a good VR MMO who’s name I can’t quite remember, but that’s quite good, if kind of dated looking.

I mean. I’ve used AI to write my job mandated end of year self assessment report. I don’t care about this, it’s not like they’ll give me a pay rise so I’m not putting effort into it.

The AI says I’ve lead a project related to windows 11 updates. I haven’t but it looks accurate and no one else will be able to dell it’s fake.

So I guess the reason is they are using the AI to talk about subjects they can’t fact check. So it looks accurate.

Really he’s been pretty critical of Microsoft lately. I don’t really have a problem with him personally, he definitely doesn’t live in the real world though.

Well one would get a VR headset to play VR games. If you’re not going to play VR games on the VR headset then it really isn’t worth you getting one.

Blame LTT for that. They’re the ones that put out the initial idea that corporations might buy them thus valve cannot sell them at a loss.

When I first heard them say that I initially thought “yeah that makes sense”. But after a while of thinking about it, no it doesn’t make any sense at all, I have no idea why he said that.

Most corporations just buy laptops and then the world’s cheapest docking stations. So would have to be cheaper than a mid-tier laptop and I can’t see that being likely.

It’s hard to benchmark because it’s running on a weird system architecture that no one’s ever really seen before.

On paper it should be at least as good as the quest, possibly a little bit more powerful. But there’s an awful lot of optimisation opportunities possible on ARM, but we don’t know if they will be initially realised. Of course you can also run it in display mode in which case it’s as powerful as the PC it’s paired with. At which point only really care about is the screen, comparable to the quest, the lenses which aren’t good as the quests, and the tracking which is probably quite a lot better than the quest. Also when it is paired to a computer it’s done so via 6G wireless rather than a cable, so that’s quite a lot more convenient.

The steam frame also has an expansion port, which is a new concept for VR headsets so we’ll see what ends up happening with that.

Well yeah because the road wasn’t designed for a cycle line.

I still don’t accept the fundamental core point of the arguement which is that rust necessarily makes it impossible to commit certain errors. Rust has its rules as such as only programming language does but that doesn’t mean that mistakes are impossible.

The vast majority of errors are logic errors not memory leaks in standard functions.

So you’re one of those basics that believes in the whole alpha male thing are you. You know thats marketing BS meant to get idiots to buy protein powder.

Wow this is so revolutionary.

Never in the history of the internet has music been available for free.

Oh so they’re going to open their own fab are they?

Their solution to the RAM shortage problem is for the RAM shortage problem to in fact not exist. Obviously that doesn’t work.
