Football MIGHT be slow enough that you could animate the plays Techmo Bowl style.

It would certainly be fun to attempt it. You might have to mix in some pre-defined animations for "run up the middle", that could do minimal updates like Jersey numbers.

People are going to make jokes about people who cover/steal songs being upset about Ai cover/stealing their songs.

But the article helped me understand exactly how much human originality is required for something to make it over the good guy / bad guy line.

AI makes you boring 5 months ago

Don't you think their is an opposite of that effect too?

I feel like I can breeze past the easy, time consuming infrastructure phase of projects, and spend MUCH more time getting to high level interesting problems?

I was forced to do this as a developer of Flash websites in the early 00's.

I loved making custom progress bars really fun so people didn't mind watching the huge sites download.

I HATED when they had me mess with the time so that it got to 90% really fast and then spent AGES finishing the last 10%.

Couldn't you make the same argument that any of us on this forum using more than 1 monitor at our desk, doesn't really understand the benefits of our technology and are using our monitors like 19th century chalk boards?

You can still spend the money. But you don't need to show off in front of the people you are stealing the money from.

There are a bunch of accounting firms, law firms, and consulting agencies that don't allow their employees to wear super expensive clothing, jewelry or drive luxury cars in front of their clients. And they aren't even doing anything illegal.

I've already spent HOURS in Midjourney generating hundreds of images just to get the perfect cyborg robot elf. I just want to use that work and upload the best of those images into the character creator, rather than hoping the prompt gets me something close to the character I want and waiting 20 minutes to find out.

Nice answer. I have to say both the games on your Profile look great, and I am definitely going to try one tonight.

Do you recommend I start with Dwarven Skykeep or Vengence of Mr. Peppermint if I'm playing on a Steam Deck?

I can't believe we are blaming this ENTIRELY on drivers... with people in the comments even claiming that the quality of drivers has gone done because work from home has put more poor people on the road.

Just look at the pedestrians you pass on your next drive. Count how many of them are looking at their phone while walking. I just did this and it was 4/10. I think Pedestrian behavior and awareness *might be a little different than it was 40 years ago as well.

I'm in a similar mode.

But what no one thinks about is how much the productivity we lose from wasting time on Reddit is costing us. If I cut out my Reddit use (while just at work), and replaced that with actual work.... I could easily make $3,000 to $4,000 dollars more a year.

And I am not particularly well paid. I don't make 6 figures, so that amount of money is a pretty huge deal for me.

But still our brains think in terms more like.... well I'd pay $25 for this one time, but I won't pay $5 per month because that's just TOO MUCH.

How doesn't it help artists?

It seems like the photographer here is pretty happy about her copyright.

I love SCI-FI thinking about a world without copyright or patent protections, to wonder what it would be like for humanity after a couple centuries. But I can't help but feel artists not getting credit for their work, would at least hurt them on the individual level.

So if Bash is like Obi Wan surviving where other didn't....

Is Bash just surviving because no one knows about it or has remembers it while its been hiding in your system for 20 years?
