I have pretty bad driving anxiety, not quite as bad as what you describe, but enough that I basically avoid driving as much as possible. I’ve been driving for ~10 years now, and it has not gotten better on its own. I think your best option is to talk to a counselor if you need to drive
Art! Where logic fails to motivate, artistic expression can lead to emotional understanding
If you’re on a well, it’s just a small electrical expenditure
I’m running a game right now in a custom setting where people live on only one part of the planet, kind of Garden of Eden-style, but rather than using reverse psychology, the gods issued a challenge to the world, asking for the best and bravest to abandon the safety of civilization, and strike out into the unknown, seeking the Edge of the World. Basically a literal divine mandate.
As players explore the Wilds, they have opportunities to encounter different gods, and, if they impress them, to become their Champions. All the different gods want one of their own Champions to be the victors, so there’s squabbling and rivalries between different groups of followers, and the gods themselves.
It’s a lot like One Piece, except they’re not necessarily pirates lol
Don’t really have many people to celebrate this with.
I guess you must not have had many followers on Instagram 😂
I mean, yeah, that’s how we prepare for disasters. We just need to find it all better
There are definitely things AI is good for. Archival search is obviously the biggest, because that’s what we’ve been using it for decades. It can also be helpful for subterranean and medical imaging, and art restoration. But the companies selling it want to sell a Magic 8 Ball with ads
It’s a Changhong, they’re one of the biggest TV manufacturers in China. I bought mine second hand though, so I can’t offer you a link, I’m afraid
YouTube continuing to advertise to children while claiming otherwise
We have been trying to reach you about your law’s extended warranty
It’s the Emperor’s New Clothes. Their perceptions of reality are so warped, that they think they look great
The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.
Coercion is rape.
So glad they decided to use this, rather than the Internet connection that came with the White House
“I’m an accountant and I use a calculator, so all artists should have to use photoshop.”
The other people interviewed answer those questions if you keep reading
“It really weighed on the creativity of my role, and again, spat in the face of my expertise”, [Ricky says]. “It wasn’t just this though; the tool itself lacks the intent, context, and limitations of what we’re doing. It doesn’t have other aspects of the project, influences, references, or personal experiences in the back of its mind, because it doesn’t have a mind. Whenever we design something for a game, it’s drawn from somewhere, influenced by other things, and filtered through our own experiences as a human. These AI ideas lose ALL of that…"
“What follows from these discussions is me explaining why, usually over hours rather than minutes, that these tools have no place in a professional game development pipeline or production and actually hinder the development of visuals”, Francis says. “I also find myself explaining to them how the iteration and ‘idea’ phase of a project is where the best stuff happens, how exploring things through artistic labor is where your best ideas come to fruition, and why would we want an AI (that we don’t even own) to do that for us with art that isn’t ours to use?”

If he’s not arguing to improve it, he’s arguing that it shouldn’t exist at all, which is worse.
We must move away from binary tales of catastrophe, not towards naive utopianism that ignores problems and risks that comes with change, but hopeful solutionism that reminds us we can solve and mitigate them…
I don’t like Black Mirror, but I would never say that there’s no place for it. It obviously resonated with a lot of people, and it was probably an entry into the genre for a lot of new sci-fi fans. Very ‘Old Man Yells At Cloud’
It definitely reads like a criticism of Black Mirror to me
Black Mirror fails to consistently explore the duality of technology and our reactions to it.
Absent is the plot twist of Pandora’s box that made it philosophically useful: the box also contained hope and opportunity that new knowledge brings.
Black Mirror didn’t fail to do those things, it wasn’t interested in them
My partner just picked up an old second generation iPod. When she saw the weird proprietary end on the wall side of the cable, she actually said, “We’ll have to order an adapter so I can hook it up to iTunes.”
Lol. Lmao even
