Alternative title: “The people I boss around totally want to use AI because it’s really cool and it’s the future, so we need it now and they’re going to use it whether they want it or not”, says the CEO that can’t distinguish a Nintendo from a Playstation

Google is using artificial intelligence to summarize employee comments and questions for the forum.

Well, isn’t that a good start?

Anyway, the TLDR “answer” from CFO Porat is “We were spending too much”, while Pichai’s answer is “We hired too much people”. Way to dodge the question, assholes.

Alphabet’s full-time headcount climbed to over 190,000 at the end of 2022, up almost 22% from a year earlier and 40% higher than at the close of 2020.

So they had around 135k employees in 2020. Why the fuck did you overhire, then? Just to lay off and show off to investors as someone who increased profits in the most asinine way?

Pichai then joked that leadership should hold a “Finance 101” Ted Talk for employees.

Yeah, nevermind me, Sundar Pichai, earning way more money year after year while you’re all begging for raises, it’s just finances, you guys!

Unless Sega pulls a Capcom and adds Denuvo way after the release of the game

No, because I’m a fucking luddite or something.

Thing is, it’s pointless to me. I don’t need nor want all my devices to have the same configurations, bookmarks and history.

This is the first time I’ve heard about these stripper coffee shacks. I want reviews (since I doubt I’ll have enough money to ever visit one)

You know, Hi Fi Rush is a good game, yet Tango still got axed because “fuck them”. Larian wasn’t nimble with BG3 either, they were thorough

I see no mention of Emil Pagliarulo’s head rolling. Still worried about Elder Scrolls 6

Fuck you, Microshit.

What is something you can’t live without, technology wise that saves you time?

I have to say it’s my virtual assistant I’ve made. It saves me a lot of time with making reminders and such alarms for meetings or interviews, music etc.

I mean, “tech wise” is incredibly generic. Electricity itself is pretty much essential and something I’d have a hard time living without.

As for more recent tech, the internet. I can “live without”, but a lot of stuff I do for entertainment and self education needs it. There’s also the discovery, finding out about new stuff that interests me, that’d be much harder without the internet.

Even if you removed several sites, if the 'net was something like it was back in 1994, there’d still be enough content and people around to get good amounts of information back and forth, plus file sharing.

As for time saved, just think about trying to discover, not even acquire or read, just know about, some 2 or 3 books in an “obscure” subject, something that your circle of contacts is unlikely to know anything about, that local book stores probably won’t have. Same applies for games or media that said circle of contacts are unlikely to know about. Basically, you have to take the dive and explore and, depending on what you were looking for, you’d come empty handed, or have to contend with a “better than nothing” alternative.

To anyone like me, who missed the acorn event - www.theguardian.com/…/florida-acorn-cop-shooting

The acorn dropped on the police car and the policeman thought he’d been hit.

I’ve heard a lot about this animation, but never really watched it. It did run a few times on local TV, but never when I was sat down watching it. Might have to give it a watch, even as a grown ass adult I still enjoy a good slapstick, as ~2 years ago I’ve rewatched some loose Tiny Toons episodes, the stuff was actually better than I remembered (could’ve been because it’s been my first time watching in english, thus no jokes lost to translation)

Don’t forget to call the opposing groups of said terrorists “freedom fighters” (1986 newspaper)

Imagine being firebombed because you’re a shit neighbor (this is what I understood after a glance on the wiki page about MOVE, the two times the police went after them, it began as complaints from neighbors)

There was an armed standoff with police,[8] who lobbed tear gas canisters at the building. The MOVE members fired at them in return, and a 90-minute gunfight ensued, in which one officer was bruised in the back by gunfire.[38] Police used more than ten thousand rounds of ammunition before Commissioner Sambor ordered that the compound be bombed

Fucking hell, 10k rounds? How?

I prefer to buy video games without knowing anything about them

When I hear about a new game, I usually read the first sentence or two on Wikipedia. I rule out games described as certain genres or types, like soulslike or online-only multiplayer games. Then, I check reviews on a site like Metacritic. If the critic or user reviews (doesn’t need to be both) are good enough, I add it to a...

From the title, I thought OP would just look at a cover and buy the game, ignoring reviews. This is not the case, there’s some research on the (perceived) quality of the game, so I wouldn’t consider this unpopular.

Is 🏴‍☠️ an option, or are USA (MPAA, RIAA, etc) claws too deep in 'straya and kiwiland?

Can I get some prep time beforehand? Cuz I don’t know how to fly an attack helicopter or a bomber and I will need all the range and firepower.

Space is also filled with planets and moons containing several isolated, human built facilities, which is very realistic

/s

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Which is why smarter devs either keep all the action in space, or limit it to specific places in specific planets. Besides, do we really need to land on literal hellscape planets like Mercury or Venus?

Emil Pagliarulo is the actual head responsible for that piece of shit that tries to pass for a story way more than Todd. He’s also the asshole responsible for the main story of FO4.
