This sentence reads like an alien trying to sound human.

That is a weird take.

The robots are human shaped because the human shape is a good shape to be to interact with our environment. And environment that by definition has been designed to interact with human shapes.

They are implementing AI at work next week. I'm super excited to see how wrong it goes.

Yeah but when the AI overlords are writing up their kill list I'm not going to be at the top of it am I. Because I'm polite.

The drones used in Ukraine are basically just commercial drones with grenades strapped to them. And a 1 km distance they're unlikely to be able to damage a target even if they detonated.

Warzone's always the best environment to test new battlefield systems.

Look at the difference in technology between the beginning of the first world war and the end. We started off with essentially standing in fields shooting each other over distances you could spit, and ended up with tanks. The second world war gave us nukes.

Will probably have AGI battle droids by the end of this war.

I'm so unimpressed with their release lineup as well. They've just done the same thing they always do, and made a minority improved Mario Cart and a lackluster Pokémon game. Or, and a tutorial, don't forget that.

Mine likes to pull open drawers, hoike out all of the clothes, and then sit in the drawer looking smug at the mess he's made.

That's also like the worst description of larping I've ever heard. I also like the "in real time" bit. Suggesting the possibility of turn-based social interactions.

I was downstairs and felt sick, but I was in the kitchen with a laminate floor so I ran upstairs so I can throw up on your bed.

Oh and when I'm done I want to be fed.

Mine constantly picks at the carpet. She'll be 2 cm away from the scratching post that I bought her and still do it. The other cat that I have the instant I put the scratching post down he instantly went over and started using it and doesn't scratch at the carpet at all.

However he takes up the whole bed at night, and pushes me out.

They are both irritating in their individual ways.

Exactly, blockchain technology doesn't do anything to prevent people from just straight up lying. I've heard people suggest that blockchain could be used to create a distributed Wikipedia, and somehow it would be immune to trolls because "blockchain".

Also blockchain is susceptible to something called a 51% attack, where if you can compromise more than half of all of the nodes then the illegitimate version becomes the trusted version over the legitimate version, without ever having to compromise the original version, (because 51% of the vote is 100% of the control). The only reason that doesn't really happen with cryptocurrencies is that there are so many people who use cryptocurrencies that the numbers required to pull off at 51% attack would be unachievable even for a nation state.

However I can't believe that this database would be anywhere near that distributed so a committed actor could very well achieve a 51% attack.

It's not as if other nation states don't maintain their own versions of this anyway (it would be stupid to trust the United States exclusively even if it weren't for Trump), as do a lot of the cyber security companies. So it's not really a problem anyway.

The office building where I work kind of looks like one of those abandoned buildings in Chernobyl. Everyone went remote but they were reluctant to fully embrace it so they kept the office except no one ever went in and now everything's just covered in dust.

I don't know why they just don't sell the building lease. Maybe they can't find anyone to buy it.

It's not even just about shoving AI into everything. That would be bad enough but this feature is literally useless, and it isn't as if Microsoft doesn't have a plethora of other features people want them to work on.

How about inventing Windows airdrop? Or spend some time unifying the UI so it doesn't all look like it was developed by two separate teams working independently. Nah, let's just build some spy software.

Hell I'd even accept them spending some time making a non-shit version of Teams

I don't really understand who this is even aimed at. Anyone who needs to keep records of their work to refer back to already uses some kind of record keeping system such as version control or ticket creation. When I'm doing that I don't need to keep a record of all of the ancillary actions I'm doing.

Web browsers have history, files can be reverted to previous versions in Windows already, as I said version control software exists (Github is even owned by Microsoft) and there is already software such as Shadow play.

Who exactly is going to be using Recall that doesn't already have a perfectly good, and actually dedicated, solution in place?

That's an easy problem to solve you just hash the database. Blockchain is good at solving the problem when you don't have a reliable central authority but if you do have a reliable central authority there's no point adding blockchain to it.

And we already have the reliable central authority, we have the original database.

Right but the planets being in particular locations in the sky doesn't really result in astrologists saying a particular thing is going to happen. They basically just make something up and then decide that's what the planet says. They could basically just ignore the positions of the planet and it wouldn't really make any difference.

Otherwise history would repeat every couple of decades.

Yeah and the director of the FBI sells guy healing crystals.

Oh yes blockchain the solution to the world's problem. Provided the world's problem is that the current solution works too well and we don't like that.

We need to back this data up but that doesn't require anything anywhere near as complicated and over-engineered as blockchain, we can just have something as simple as multiple servers.

You list a bunch of things you don't like about the current AAA industry and then acknowledge that a lot of people aren't exclusively playing AAA games.

You've completely negated your own arguement whining.
