@Tazz that doesn’t seem at all ergonomic. I did myself switch to using 3 screens this week (laptop screen + old 24 inch + new 27 inch) and I’m very happy with how much it’s made my work easier.

I think we should let AI govern us…it can’t be worse than it is now. Either that or freak out and burn anyone who ever worked on developing AI. I will pay a trillion Lithucoin bounty for each head.

It seems the consensus is that this guy’s claims are bogus. People who know more about it than me say he was fooled by a very powerful/clever chatbot. But I dunno.

In general though, the AI singularity or whatever they call it is probably inevitable. I give it 50/50 odds on whether it will help us or end up enslaving/destroying us but, yeah, we’re not tracking real well managing shit ourselves.

I was going to say it reminded me of a card boot deck.

Not sure if this belongs in here, but since we don’t have an OFFICIAL crappy special effects thread, I can drop a gif of my crappy smoke effect in here:

Highly relevant, many programs pretty much are special effects that do nothing.

If you had added mirrors, pretty much every product demo ever.
