I went to university and discovered that unlike that naive view he has of it it is mostly a course in how to tolerate a lot of bullshit from profs and for someone who already taught myself a lot before I got there it was mostly a realization how outdated that whole system has become unless the profs themselves are incredibly motivated (which is relatively rare), the system itself certainly encourages them to do the minimum possible to stay up to date with the material for courses they teach and instead focus on their research.

Does that mean once he is done with them the war in the Middle East will be fought with strip clubs (made from sticks and stones found in the Gaza strip)?

Why "quite literally"? Did they hire an actual troll for a lawyer?

Not very familiar with Austin, why is it important that Joe Rogan is fucking straight guys and telling everyone about it?

Well, to be fair when it comes to not understanding that their law doesn't apply world-wide Americans are also right up there in the top ranks.

From my reading, it’s the latter. The patent seems to try to monopolize the idea of throwing an object to catch a monster. Which has been done so, so many times before.

Including but not limited to RL millenia before videogames were even invented.

Superhuman intelligence is not threatening about AI, inhumane behavior is and corporations don't just display that occasionally but constantly.

It looks more like people have to fight a constant battle to keep capitalism in check because capitalism itself is incapable of rational behavior and just does the same things to optimize profits regardless of consequences for any other indicators.

So to explain the shape it is America's prolapsed colon?

Have you seen the behavior of parties captured by the capitalist end of the political spectrum? They very much are not the rational actors trying to preserve their own income by keeping consumers alive. If they were they would try to optimize consumer health and spending money instead of aiming for highscore-like accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few that can't spend it on anything meaningful any more anyway because they can already afford everything that could meaningfully improve their life a million times over.

I wasn't so much thinking about use in games as just use in other software on the system that keeps running while the game is in use. The game can coordinate its own resource usage but independent software has a harder time with that.

I am so sick and tired of these control problem people not understanding that a) we do not have AI that is anywhere near as advanced as they worry about and b) we already have human organizations called corporations who have been acting exactly like the AI they worry about for decades.
