"Many organizations are still building the capabilities required to forecast, monitor, and manage AI spending effectively."
One of the funniest quotes early on in the AI bubble was an executive saying he was replacing workers with AI because "AI will never demand higher wages or else they'll go on strike" and it was so fucking clear that he hadn't thought through how anything worked, because of course the AI companies can raise their rates and if you don't pay then they don't let you use their software.
Isn't this straight out of Walmart's playbook? Lure customers (businesses with human employees) over with low prices and put all competitors (human employees) out of business (employment), then they're free to charge whatever they want for their shitty products (lying electricity-hogging chatbots that cannot actually do a human's job).
I've known for decades that capitalism is bad for workers and consumers, but only in the past few years have I come to increasingly realize that it's bad for businesses, too.

when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist
anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009
beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way

yeah it was link
link, after waking up not knowing anything but anger:
The current record is 27.5 minutes. Knowing that speedrunners skip the Great Plateau tower, this means that they don’t get the cutscene where Ganon and his Guardians awake until they reach Hyrule Castle. Ganon doesn’t even know Link is awake until Link is at his doorstep, which is about 16:50 into the run.
Less than three minutes later, Link kills the first of Ganon’s Blights with a single arrow and swiftly takes down the next three. Within five minutes of Ganon being face to face with his arch nemesis, he is killed.
Ganon had a total of 10 minutes and 40 seconds to stop Link.

Ganon fucking wishes. Link comes flying in on a paraglider at like 80 mph just because he jumped off a bokoblin’s head. I can only imagine Link screaming “FUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU” all the way (about 50 seconds in the run but 30 seconds without lag)
link: [wakes up] when i see Ganon it’s fucking on sight
Someone made a loving parody of those speedruns and I didn’t realize how accurate it was, at first. Then I watched some speed runs and realized it’s genuinely what happens

the weird schrödinger's emotion that is "that character death was narratively satisfying and emotionally impactful and ultimately the best way to handle their character arc" simultaneously with "noooo but I wanted them to live :( :( :("
i see a lot of criticism towards 17776 along the lines of “ugh if humanity actually stopped aging or dying and people really did just live forever they would not spend their time playing football… that is not what EYE would do with MY time…. this is so unrealistic….. clearly the author just wanted to write about sports 🙄😒” and like. yeah. yes. exactly. jon bois is a sports writer and sports analyst who wanted to examine why people love sports and why sports have cultural staying power and why he especially finds sports compelling and what sports have to say about the human condition and our ability to care. so he made up a fake scenario about humans being immortal and then he made it about sports. and he wrote about sports. the story is titled ‘what sports will look like in the future.’ if that isn’t something that you can vibe with then maybe the story simply is not for you
17776 asks you to be fascinated with football for a little while and if you don't take that invitation the story is much less powerful. The first time I read it I kind of skimmed through the parts talking about football because I thought, well, I'm not interested in sports.
The second time I read it I paid more attention to those parts and realized that they were an essential part of the story. This key component of fascination with a human pastime is the axis that the themes revolve around.
Fascination illuminates the world and reveals a lot of meaning in it. Much more can be understood through curious eyes.
The key point is that 17776 and it's sequels are not about immortality, and it is not attempting to predict what would happen in this scenario. It is a study of the impact of sports(amongst other things) on people, using immortality as a narrative device to achieve this.
I think I got that in my first read, or at least I understood that the story was about play and the things that are intrinsically motivating to humans: what do we do when there are no stakes and there is no more "progress" to make?
Some of the segments are not really "about" sports, such as the destruction of the lightbulb, where the satellites mourn the "death" of an inanimate object that has meaning because it's been given meaning.
But, if you think you don't care about sports, and therefore don't pay much attention to the parts of the story that are digging deeply into the technicalities of the bizarro football games, you still miss a lot of the story's meaning, because the layers of depth and close examination and exploration show how love for something transforms it, making it endlessly fascinating and new.
I understood the theme of play as a counteracting force to our existential anxiety and feeling of need for "progress" and "meaning," but on my initial read I missed how the story is about love. Not love as an experience between people, but love as an orientation towards existence and your surroundings.
In my re-read it came through so clearly that WOW, this writer really, really loves football. And in the story, football is so inexhaustibly complicated and meaningful, to the point that it's impossible to ever fully appreciate, because people love it and they are always exploring new ways to play it.
It's interesting, because it's important to the story that the writer loves football, but it's equally important to the story that a lot of people don't love football, because these infinite wonders hidden in our existence externally appear so mundane. Football is just another boring, mundane thing that is transfigured by love. Our world is so worthy of being loved that we could never fully love it even if we were to live forever. That's what 17776 is about, to me.
non football fan off to go find this book now, brb

Okay sorry I need to say something.
You see, 17776 doesn't begin with the space aspect. In fact, when you first load it, it looks like a normal article. Of course, it quickly goes away (and if you're fast enough, you can read the words "Something is terribly wrong" repeating) and you see a calendar (which would be considered the "actual" beginning).
But. The article, disappearing or not, is extremely important to understand the story. Because, before it goes into Something is terribly wrong, it's trying to talk about something real, something that is, in fact, terribly wrong.
It talks about CTE.
Here's the screenshot:
Why is college football less popular? Because more people know about CTE. What's that, you ask?
From this study:
"Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with exposure to repetitive head impacts such as those from American football." And it's not just a disease.
From this article: (recommended read)
"During impact, individual neurons can be stretched and damaged. Brain chemistry gets out of whack. Concussions make people “see stars,” become disoriented, lose consciousness, become sensitive to light and sound, get headaches, and have sluggish or confused thoughts for weeks and even months.
Heads and bodies get smashed and shuddered every week during the football season. And despite changing the rules to allow for more severe penalties and fines for flagrant helmet-to-helmet hits, the NFL has not succeeded so far in preventing concussions."
CTE is a dangerous disease. It's undiagnosable before death, but it's associated with serious consequences. And no matter how much more "safe" the NFL tries to play it off, the truth is that it is being discovered that's even more grave than previously thought. In these conditions, American football, and especially college football, is slowly being seen as a sport maybe no one should play. This, of course, is something the people in charge do not want to admit, lest they lose their money. So they hide the studies. They say that actually, new equipment makes it safe (it doesn't). And Jon Bois, a sports writer, knows this well.
And now read the image again.
In 17776, the people are immortal. They can't even get injured, because technology has advanced to the point they can heal instantly. And what do they do with this newfound power? With this invulnerability?
Well. They play American football.
OH
I never actually caught this!!!!
how to reorder works in a series
Step one: go to the series itself. You can do this by clicking on your fic's title and then clicking on the series title, or you can do it directly from your series page.
Step two: At the top of the page, click on the Reorder Series button
Step three: This will depend on what device you're using to do the reordering. For me, on my phone, I need to enter the numbers for my preferred order for the series (which fic is number 1, number 2, etc). On other devices, you can just drag and drop them into your preferred order.
After you've finished that, click on the Update Positions button, and you're done.
Good job, buddy! Now you just have to communicate directly with your son about your change of heart and maybe also make him aware that you love and trust him and would also be quite upset if he died - LOL just kidding
The Othar-ing will continue until communication improves!
So, forever.
