If a game isn't coming out within a year, I honestly don't want to hear or know about it. Goes for TV shows and movies too. Enough of this releasing a trailer and going "See ya in 5 years, assuming it doesn't get canceled before then!"

Yep. This is literally how it goes with popular media. Books, film, television, everything.
The majority of what you put out will break even, be a mild success, or lose money. But you'll have a scant handful of superstars that basically pay for everything else.

I'm starting to really believe that the only way to get a runaway success is for companies to fund like 20 new projects, 19 of them will either fail or make no impression, and then the 20th will resonate with audiences and create tons of merch opportunities like Bluey or KPop Demon Hunters

Heard somebody say you shouldn’t try to read Proust until you’re 30 because you have to have really and truly failed at a couple of things before you can get on its wavelength and man does “I could have been someone” “Well so could anyone” hit once you’ve got some road behind you

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

as I've remarked before, cyberpunk isn't 'I glitch into the webframe and draw my katana', it's 'the life of a man working for a criminal syndicate in Myanmar who spends his days pretending to be different women online to steal from the elderly'
People are dying over who gets to steal from a dude in Iowa who thinks the model who "accidentally" texted him has fallen in love with him.
the Thai-Cambodian conflict is at least partially about control of the scam/gambling/prostitution compounds along the border.

Genuine question, but is it even advisable to ask a friend who's rejected you to do something together you both wanted to do before you asked them out? Or should you just wait until they reach out again.

one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.
It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.
