Explain how an AI bust would tank the economy? They don't employ enough to feel the hit from that.

They're not even IPOed so how do they tank the market? GPU and ram prices will go down but that will actually help most tech companies.

I don't think the rest of the economy is inflated on the fantasy gains of AI.

We could actually go back to feeling like we can invest in products and content without FOMO.

You will also see plenty of cases where a screenshot captures incoherent frames.

Squash and stretch is a whole art style that relies on unrealistic frames.

You're thinking of smear frames. Squash and stretch are animation techniques that are perfectly coherent. Smear frames as well contribute to an overall coherent animation. They're a counterpoint to the general idea put forward in this article, but it's also rarely ever relevant to this type of animation.

Unemployment is based on the amount looking. I gotta say, how many philosophy students do you know actively looking for jobs? Now ask yourself why you think it's zero.

> Weirdly everyone focuses on Apple

Lifetime Xboxes sold: ~200 Million

Lifetime iPhones sold: 3 Billion

Why is it weird?

Well, currently 6 Billion active Android phones exist. Not lifetime total: current active. So there's that.

Android phones can come with the bootloader unlocked, although many vendors do lock them, particularly in the US.

How often are you going into new projects and spending up to an hour on set up? I'm really just asking to get a sense of what "Generally" means here.

I do it with every project I go into. First step is setting up the documentation so that the agent can navigate it quickly, knows the idioms, knows the test gating procedure, design principles, coding standards, testing policies, etc.

Once that's set up, I spend time laying out the planning for whatever feature or fix is being worked on. For fixes the agent is pretty quick and usually needs little guidance. For new features it's best to have more of a hand on the tiller.

It's kind of funny that the entire purpose of a browser is to protect the user machine from arbitrary code on the internet and also it's one of the main attack vectors on a console.

Yes. Even dealing with "what does it look like in rain? What does it look like in snow?" is hard. Hell... "What does it look like at night" is hard. Hell.... what does it look like at noon vs sundown (no shadow vs long shadows) is hard.

Have you ever seen a commercial use of anything like this? That should give you a hint about how reliable these systems get.

"We shouldn't have maps because you can use them in war." seems like a wrong way to look at this problem.

Well game vendors catering game data to the military is the problem here, not the maps themselves. Maps are good, shady corpo bs isn't. Same shit Spotify pulled by investing into war machinery rather than paying the artists more.

What is the difference, in your mind, between mapping data and what was shared?

Part of the reason software ate the world is standardized tooling. Going back to everyone having completely bespoke ways of doing things would be a nightmare.

It's still a cut in purchasing power even if you aren't hurting.

But if you don't mind, I'll take 4.2% from your pay.
