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.

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.

I managed to make a thing for rotating a thing back and forth.

[Tazz]

I think you are good enough to join the Star Citizen team now!

[Wingmann]

Overqualified, even.

Ha! Star Citizen isn’t even worthy of kissing my medieval peasant feet!

Once you go mainframe you can never go back.

Until the first time you write a mapreduce.

Hmm, mainframes can operate linked and synchronized but they aren’t really built for massively parallel processing problem sets per se.
