Which is why I said that he was just making shit up. If the only way the phrase works is by making assumption about what the person was thinking, with literally no information to back it up, then it's not a good fit. The fact that people still don't understand that assuming that she must have thought a certain way therefore "rules for thee" applies is where the actual problem is. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Which is to say it's a fine kid's movie that tells a simple story in a competent way, but if you're holding it to Disney/Pixar historical standards it's kind of uninspired by that measure.

You can dodge while charging your shot and it actually grants you a bonus charge, so you're heavily incentivized to stay at midrange and dodge as much as you want. Plus if you're solo at lower HR the bow's rock-rain thing does some stun damage.

Where did you see James being surprised? I didn't. It's entirely possible James was well aware this was going to happen, but if so I would have expected some sort of request to the judge at the beginning of the trial freezing any sort of asset move until after the trial had concluded. Since asset freezing is a pretty common order to request I guess I interpreted this request being reactionary vs previously proposed as being surprise, but I could easily be wrong.

I can't tell if you are saying James *was* surprised by this or *wasn't* surprised.. I'm saying nobody should have been surprised. It's been common knowledge that one of the outcomes of that case could be that his business license would be stripped by the state. Any business would be making plans to find a different state to move to because it would take time to get all the paperwork filed. The alternative would have been doing nothing, having the state strip him of his business license, and then having to go through the process of moving somewhere else while also dealing with the fact that your businesses have to shut down in that timeperiod. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

My only concern with changing course is that they allow enough time to come up with a good story for whoever the new villain is going to be, even if that means pushing the movie back. If what we get is essentially a Kang story that's been hastily reworked to try to make it a Dr. Doom story then it's probably going to suck. They waited too long to put out another Avengers. We don't need every crossover to be Thanos-tier threatening. That's not how the first few phases did things. Make the next Avengers movie villain Dr. Doom so he can act like this next phase's Loki in being the bad guy who occasionally has to work with the good guys, and THEN build up towards who would be threatening enough for Doom to suffer through working with Reed. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

On the other hand maybe an ai that collects images of people and aggregates them just inherently believes humans are racially diverse, because they literally are That's not really how these systems work though. Like, a prompt involving Nazis is presumably going to use media from Nazi Germany and not every picture of every person on the planet. Edit: I'll also point out that for the system to be able to tell you users that is unable to generate from a certain prompt, they have to be doing some degree of preprocessing to identify words or phrases that they want to avoid. It's not like they're handing the generative AI a prompt and it's coming back with "I'm not comfortable doing that." There is very definitely a manual process in between the prompt submission and triggering the generative system. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

It's literally impossible to be creative enough to think of a headline like this: They're dealing with an impossible problem and trying to solve it by piecemeal patching in special rules and exceptions whenever something pops up, but that's only going to make the entire system more brittle and inconsistent. Like, that image was probably produced because they put in some sort of rule that says that any prompt involving groups of people must be racially diverse, and since there's an infinite number of contexts under which that could be embarrassing it was only a matter of time until somebody found the one that highlights how dumb that approach was. Eventually, it'll result in a lawsuit and they're just going to have to take the whole system down. But what should bother people isn't that some public facing AI tool is having problems. It's that these same companies are developing these same tools for backend systems that will eventually do things like approve loans and what you won't have is a million people generating memes using it to show off where it fails. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

The price of games going up a little bit after literal decades at a consistent price is not bullshit. It is when you consider how many more people buy games. FF7 sold 2 million units in its opening weekend and 10 million units over the next 8 years. In comparison, FF7:R sold 3.5 million units in its opening weekend and has sold 7 million units in its first 3 years. So FF7 at $50 made $100M it's opening weekend and FF7:R at $70 made $245M. FF7R has made $490M so far compared to 7's $500M... Nearly the same amount in 1/3 the time. So potentially the remake could end up with sales around $1.5B if it trends similarly over the next 6 years. FF7 cost $40M to make. FF7:R cost $200M, so just on dev costs you're looking at square having $460M left over vs $1.3B. they're potentially taking home a billion more dollars after the price hike even when you factor in development costs. And that's without consideration for dlc, micro transactions, premium currencies, battle passes, in-game advertising, product tie-ins, etc. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
