Reply to The AI-Written Sci-Fi Book 'Holding Out Hope': A Look into the Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in Literature by Pogrebnik

It reads like a synopsis, not a story. Like somebody wrote a book about a book.

I think AI is going to have a much harder time with words than with images. Humans are meaning-making machines. You show us an image and we’ll jam meaning on top of it. But words are trickier, and you don’t get meaning for free out of them.

It’s coherent, but it’s also pretty bad.

Reply to Future of Games by stoneman217

A game will make sense in any context where the form factor supports its current mechanics or alter them in meaningful, satisfying (fun) ways.

Reply to A complex cytoskeleton, previously only observed in eukaryotic cells, is now found in a new species of archaea from the Asgard group, supporting the theory that eukaryotes evolved from Asgard archaea by vtj

Okay, so as somebody with no domain knowledge, I have to ask: Are we not making the obvious Thor joke because we haven’t thought of it, or is it, like, everybody already knows all the jokes and if you make them you’re the guy at the conference that gets his lunch money stolen and his glasses broken?

Reply to comment by Poynsid in Drink Masters on Netflix rides the line between "mildly interesting" and "this is the most pretentious shit ever" by jcwitte

Because some of us have a tiny monkey in our brains that demands satisfaction and if it doesn’t get satisfaction it starts singing “NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP, NEVER GONNA LET YO DOWN” or “CALL 266-8433, BECAUSE THE NEXT BEST THING TO NEW…” at maximum volume until we give it legal meth.

If you go to the right country you’ll be able to live like a king for years and years until your compound is raided by locals whose hovels have been flooded or burned down or are simply starving due to perpetual drought brought about by unchecked climate change. They will liberate their daughters from your sex dungeon and string you up by your own designer sheets in the street. As you choke to death on your own viscera your last thought will probably be “shit was pretty sweet right up until this point.”

At least that’s how I recommend you do it. Try somewhere in Southeast Asia or Latin America.
