  • An absolute waste of time, money, and sanity. Unusable UI, no soundtrack to speak of, doesn’t support gyro aiming, and will be a major factor in your upcoming divorce. There’s almost no replay value; you get one, single permadeath run until next year’s expansion releases, and the consequences for a bad run can land you with criminal charges. There are many game-breaking exploits that can only be utilized by the most expensive of gaming PCs, so poor players will still have to follow all of the rules. Despite being sold as “free-to-play”, you are stopped every 10 minutes with an advertisement to buy the Audit Protection DLC. Avoid this game at all costs.

  • I’ll be real, I think this is more of a problem with Fandom than Google. Fandom has been abusing the fuck out of their SEO lately, and manage to push their shitty site to the top results on almost any fiction media-related search you do now.

    Yeah, Google’s AI got the preview wrong, but it probably wouldn’t have happened if Fandom wasn’t constantly injecting themselves into every single search. They allow users to post anything they want, without any vetting, and then push those inaccurate posts to the search engines.

    Half the time, the page on Fandom is a 100% copy/paste of the page from Wikipedia, except with a thousand ads littering the page. Guess which one shows up first in the search results, though?



  • Open it up without shaking it up or jostling it too much. Is it still powdery all the way through? If so, it’s probably safe.

    If you open it up and the mix has any clumps or inconsistent coloring, toss it in the trash because it’s likely been exposed to moisture, which invites a ton of potential problems.

    Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, but I have made some questionable decisions with old tubs of G Fuel mix and came out alive, so I’m not just making things up but I’m also not somebody you should trust your health with. Be responsible.






  • Technophobes are trying to downplay this because “AI bad”, but this is actually a pretty significant leap from GPT and we should all be keeping an eye on this, especially those who are acting like this is just more auto-predict. This is a completely different generation process than GPT which is just glorified auto-predict. It’s the difference between learning a language by just reading a lot of books in that language, and learning a language by speaking with people in that language and adjusting based on their feedback until you are fluent.

    If you thought AI comments flooding social media was already bad, it’s soon going to get a lot harder to discern who is real, especially once people get access to a web-connected version of this model.


  • This was a really fun take. Even though it’s ridiculous, it’s fun to entertain theories like this!

    I’ll throw a wrench in the works for anyone who wants to theorycraft further: Say the rocks floating up aren’t caused by gravity at all, but some other force. Maybe extreme winds caused by a massive celestial body approaching the planet’s surface could be strong enough to create enough lift to make the rocks float. Kind of like the vortexes and turbulence you’d create in a pool of water by dropping a bowling ball into it. What sort of properties would the moon need to have for this to be the explanation for the floating rocks?
