AI is absolutely going to be transformative but a lot of the hate right now isn't the technology itself but the way companies are jumping on it and forcing it down the throats of people who don't want it, in a way that worsens their customer experience. Yes, let's force AI into every software product. Yes let's take away the humans you used to talk to and make them all bots instead.

Even from within tech itself there is huge resentment because you've got corps pumping billions into AI while at the same time slashing their workforce to afford those billions, with no clear return in sight.

Tech is treating AI as the next dotcom boom and pumping everything into it, but just like it did then the bubble of investment will burst, and there will be losers as well as winners.

I'm running self-hosted LLMs at home and I'm having huge fun experimenting with their capabilities. I just wish LLMs could have been implemented in the real world with space for ethics and the human factor, not the pure profit chasing bullshit we actually got.

Why is "helicopter" commonly shortened to "helo" rather than "heli" ?

I can easily see both sides on this one.

In one way I have little sympathy. It's the same as parents complaining after they show their child a violent anime, that it was a 'cartoon' and so it must be for children - having made that snap judgement without investigating the contents in the slightest.

On the other hand, as the article rightly suggests, there are established conventions in the publishing industry and this book defied them.

They are conventions I personally kinda hate, because they are the reason every Crime paperback looks the same as each other, and every Sci-Fi book is instantly recognisable as that genre on the shelves. But the conventions do exist.

In mass-market publishing terms, sparkly happy cartoon = children.

The publisher and author totally knew what they were doing here and they did it anyway. It's wilfully misleading.

Whether established standards should be enough to absolve a parent of the responsibility to understand what they are giving to their child, though, you decide.

Even if the common advice is to avoid spoilers, I'm glad you found your own way to enjoy it :)

I'm sure I could play it again myself and still enjoy the atmosphere, even if the discoveries weren't new. Or maybe it would be fun to watch a stream of someone else playing for the first time instead!

This may be a nonsense suggestion but is the game trying to activate the headphone mic?

If so this could be switching it to a different mode and cutting your headset audio quality in half.

EDIT: two other people suggested the same thing at the same time, never mind :)

The blogpost was made four years ago, though.

Quite a fascinating read, nonetheless :)
