When we dream we often believe it to be reality, despite that in retrospect we can identify clear contradictions with logic in those dreams.

A Matrix-like simulation doesn’t have to be perfect. We are a bunch of dumb-dumbs who will suspend disbelief quite easily and dismiss those who claim to see a different truth as crazy.

All of Saudi Arabia was actually just a fever dream Han Solo was having while frozen in Carbonite

This comment section is a nice mix of “I’m a waiter, please don’t do this, you’re making my job harder” and “I always do this to make the waiters’ lives easier”

Boo.

Haters gonna hate Gaters gonna gate

“we’ve discovered we can fill 80% of the customers field of view with ads before inducing seizures”

Then how do you manage the type of people who just want control over as much a possible to stroke their own ego while doing a terrible job or pushing their own agenda?

Surely it’s better for unmoderated pages to prune themselves, leaving only ones with enough interest to survive.

Is this a real picture?! Wild!

Negative. That is a 3D print that I left unattended.

People are just discussing the pros and cons of technology in the Technology comm. Chill out.

LLMs can’t forget things because they are not capable of memory.

To be fair, I totally understand why people think it’s AI. Between the phone camera processes and the extreme postprocessing, this looks more deep fried than some memes I’ve seen. It almost looks like it’s got a cartoon filter applied.

Add on the fact that OP is trying hard to down play how much editing has been done, it starts to feel like it doesn’t add up. If OP posted the unedited photo to show the bad phone sharpening and admitted how much editing was done on top of that, people would understand what they are looking at.

Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool, but when someone says “oh, no I just took this with my phone”, I look at that and think that’s not the whole truth.

There are no invalid locations in tic Tac toe, passing a turn provides no advantage, I suppose you could take extra turns to cheat.

How do you define cheating in such a simple game?

The catalyst, not the fuel

It reminds me of the joke in Curb Your Enthusiasm about ?Muslims? having sex by cutting a hole in a bed sheet.

At least your knives will be sharp

I think by the time we reach some future extreme of data density, it will be in a method of storage beyond our current understanding. It will be measured in coordinates or atoms or fractions of a dimension that we nullify.

And better hardware means there is no longer a requirement to optimise.

What was “if we don’t make this code more efficient, it won’t run on modern computers”, turned into “we don’t need to make this code efficient because modern computers will be able to run it”

Isn’t it amazing how birds reverse engineered airplanes?
