Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 29th December 2024
  • Making money via stealing commissions from affiliate links, tbf, wasn't the business model I was suspecting from Honey. I always thought they were scamming but I thought it was going to be from selling your browsing data or something similar. Then again, they still might do that.

  • How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it)
  • One thing he failed to mention here is that all software fails eventually. So imagine one of those fancy graphics scenes he commissioned being a 100+ car pileup because a software glitch caused a car to make a sudden right-hand turn to a street that doesn't exist.

  • This wasn't a free win, however. The reason Harris took over in the first place was because Biden's performance in the debate was poor enough that the Democrats thought there was no longer any chance with him, and this was already with lowering approval ratings. Had he stayed, I bet Trump's victory would have been even wider.

  • It was twitter. Elon Musk joins Trump's team. What happens? Harris' chances begin to drop.
    Trump did lose support, but there was probably enough propaganda on Twitter to make enough people go "both sides" and just sit out the election.

  • You know that thing that happened with the AI generated DOOM?

    Well, someone decided to do the same thing with Minecraft, and you can see that the results are... basically abysmal:
    https://youtu.be/7Jd-Rr9cJYo?si=-9XZ51ss6cBuSiC3 Skip to 2:00 for the actual "gameplay".

    TL:DW nothing is saved outside of the view screen, things aren't even saved within the view screen, the resolution is like 240p at 20fps, input latency and mouse latency is awful, and this was all apparently done by training on literal millions of hours of Minecraft footage. The mid-range computer I had from 2006 could run the game better than this. A 14-year-old netbook could run the game better than whatever supercomputer they're using to render this.

    Note that the person in the video isn't part of the team/whoever that created it, just someone who is reviewing it.
