This is why they want you to focus on Nvidia doing gangbusters. They want you to focus on that because the graphics cards aren’t the product. The AI is the product - and no one wants it.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Shared Fantasy, the first sociological monograph about roleplaying games, is about a period when established players are dealing with a new wave of younger players with different priorities. The period is 1978.
A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

Was Stranger Things always this badly written and I’d just forgotten or is it just this season that’s dripping with Whedonisms?

A fun tip for if you want to learn how to be a completely insufferable person is to learn the exact distinction between a rogue-like and a rogue-lite

It is simply because the Mail thinks disabled people shouldn’t be seen in “nice” cars there is no economic justification for it
So they pay a top-up to get a 'premium' car but that option's being taken away anyway?
'Premium' cars like BMW and Mercedes cut from Motability scheme
Motability says it will provide vehicles that meet disabled peoples' needs and are safe and affordable.

Might just become the type of girl who talks about how Tom Bombadil and the poems are actually the beating heart of the Lord of the Rings and people who skip them can’t ever hope to truly connect with the work as a fist date icebreaker.

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

Does anyone have recommendations on indie artists who do instrumental, fantasy-ish, easy to loop background music?
Bonus points if they're fine on having the music played during a stream, but mainly looking for DnD background music that wouldn't immediately be associated with a movie/game.
