@davidaugustWait you mean they have NOT told the writers yet "You all been replaced by ChatGPT ?" 🤔 .. yes it's dark humour but ... ( but how long before it becomes true ? ) ...

@davidaugust I know sadly a few "big places" where this is already happened. Can't make names/precisely for what but is definitely happening. Some people seems to think that "ChapGTP and the like" can replace SO MANY THINGS and are "extremely happy" to do so it seems.

OK ... after what I am seeing tonight I can say "Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is *NOT* a game for me" .. NOT unless they'd insert an option "I can't be arsed this boss battle skip it" .. I am seeing Ox TRYING to defeat the water boss .. it's "the nastier thing I ever seen" and no strategy seems to work it's just plain absolutely, totally, very nerve-wrecking. Given that I have a specific "non fondness" for Elves that's definitely NOT a game for me 😄 If I ever seen Ox close to destroying a console.

@quinta Believe it or not, sadly, I know "already a number of people" that use ChatGPT "more than what they should" and I had at least TWO persons I had a conversation like "they pay me so little ( for my work ) that of course I use ChatGPT all time I can " .. It's cutting corners on cutting corners .. Some people think that AI is "the magic thing that solves 80% of their work" and they act as if it is ..

@john This sounds a bit like someone I knew that complained ( a lot ) the fact that there are "thousands of apps he could not possibly buy them all" and was finding totally justified piracy "because it was not his fault he could not buy them all" ( believe me the story is TRUE ). "Thousands of XXX" .. do you HAVE to REALLY follow ALL of them ?? Is like to say "I cannot know what simultaneously happens in ALL of the world NOW" .. you never will .. and it's OK ! "Who lot wants nothing holds" 😎

@stux @rbreich Clearly "they don't start like anyone else" and/or "working like anyone else" because if so would be true so there would be many more billionaires. There has to be "a quantum leap" where you start in a very favourable condition and/or with an injection of considerable amount of money but also they may someway able to find some model that is easily and largely scalable I suppose. Certainly there has to be conditions that are not attainable to everyone.

@HopelessDemigod @oh2cil @brouhaha @PopeASDF I seriously hope "to die at the keyboard" OR "in kinky ways I cannot mention" 😜 Honestly when I am not "working" .. I am still working on something, sure you may think "go around and visit the world when retired" but that's an utopia assuming you have LOT of money to spend. Better travel now when you are still younger and you MAY have some money. I really don't plan to "retire", I just hope I'll always make little money need to live 🙂

@HopelessDemigod @oh2cil @brouhaha @PopeASDF I guess it's complicated .. 10 acres of land you'll need a tractor, irrigation, fertilizers, some fencing, probably some security ( to avoid stuff getting stolen ) a small processing facility, not sure how you buy/how much it costs seeds ( is Monstanto in that too ??! ) and as it's USA probably some very weird laws to deal with too. Wonder if you need to deal with the "consortium" too about what/how much you can plant per year and such.

@PopeASDF @HopelessDemigod @oh2cil @brouhaha Maybe that's why here is still illegal .. if you could sell it I suppose at even 1/4 of what is sold in the illegal market you'd be filthy rich ! Is it THAT bad in USA now ? So cheap ? Or so hard to grow/too many taxes/too much hassle to sell it ?

@PopeASDF @HopelessDemigod @oh2cil @brouhaha Would be just that that would be nothing, from what I read the costs of running operations like those are 'stratosferic'.

@davidrevoy Reminds me of a joke, there are a chemist, an engineer and a SW engineer in a car, suddenly the car refuses to start .. The chemist goes "must be a problem with the fuel, we should change it" .. The engineer goes "must be a problem with the engine, something needs to be fixed" .. The SW engineer goes "Let's try to exit and re-enter the car again maybe it'll start" ..

@foone Everyone has his/her Achille's heel .. mine is PCB routing as well .. I can put complex schematics/do simulations in relatively short time .. but then comes the layout problem .. here "my brain kind shuts down" and I start crying after I routed some tracks. Normally I get 80% done then I get stuck with "impossible routing" and I start crying .. 😢

So yesterday I tried to play a bit "Hollow Knight" .. "is this the new trend" to make platforms game INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING by making some parts really difficult and ANY time you have to re-do "half an hour of complex stuff" to get ti the point to re-try the part you died and die within 3 seconds AGAIN ??!! 😡

@foone NO .. that's actually "the thing that will defeat AI" .. AI CAN NOT solve problems like those, MAYBE a Quantum Computer .. or it could be the thing that breaks Quantum Physics ..
