There are a lot of theories, even from the creators: https://mashable.com/article/how-long-phil-connors-stuck-in-groundhog-day-time-loop

How come I can see everyone else’s Behindskull but they can’t see mine

I’d totally be up for that too

Interesting, a couple of you are saying that - I’ll give it a try.

I just want an adult Star Wars for adults. Like get Lars Von Trier to do a miniseries.

Finally a feel-good story makes the news

Oh damn didn’t know that. Definitely changes the calculus

Love this game. My buddy and I are waiting for the next full release to start a new campaign. Looks like they’ve added a lot since we played last.

Really looking forward to NPCs though, hope they don’t wait too many decades to complete that.

Wait really?!

I never really thought about it I guess - I’ve got a bunch of stuff I’m archiving locally that I always felt like it’d be a shame if it disappeared. Would be nice to have a real place for it.

I’m sure they’d love to spend the rest of your life with you anyway

IMO it’s even worse than that. At least from what I gather from the AI/Singularity communities I follow. For them, AGI is the end goal - a creative thinking AI capable of deduction far greater than humanity. The company that owns that suddenly has the capability to solve all manner of problems that are slowing down technological advancement. Obviously owning that would be worth trillions.

However it’s really hard to see through the smoke that the Altmans etc. are putting up - how much of it is actual genuine prediction and how much is fairy tales they’re telling to get more investment?

And I’d have a hard time believing it isn’t mostly the latter because while LLMs have made some pretty impressive advancements, they still can’t have specialized discussions about pretty much anything without hallucinating answers. I have a test I use for each new generation of LLMs where I interview them about a book I’m relatively familiar with and even with the newest ChatGPT model, it still makes up a ton of shit, even often contradicting its own answers in that thread, all the while absolutely confident that it’s familiar with the source material.

Honestly, I’ll believe they’re capable of advancing AI when we get an AI that can say ‘I actually am not sure about that, let me do a search…’ or something like that.

Why does that work?

Not an expert but I’d suppose it’s nothing more than marketing getting in the way and insisting on an over engineered solution because it’s flashy

The worst to me is everyone now including a shitty bag to put the product in. Like it MAYBE makes sense to include a case for travel headphones or something but no I do not need you to include something for me to put the external SSD drive in.

I thought the larger point was that they’re using plenty of sources that do not lie in the public domain. Like if I download a textbook to read for a class instead of buying it - I could be proscecuted for stealing. And they’ve downloaded and read millions of books without paying for them.

No way that’s the classic ‘pretend you’re smoking or otherwise disinterested and subtly twist’ move implemented by planting a pivot foot and then stepping back to cautiously turn your body

Yeah you say that until you get a tusk in the crotch

Which is also not to mention all the other even crazier pseudoscience BS (NET, essential oils, healing touch) that often comes along with it.

It’s what Google does, launch products -> cancel them, buy products -> cancel them. I have been burned enough times by them that I don’t use anything they make anymore out of the certainty that it’ll get canceled just as soon as I’ve grown to depend on it.

I wonder how many songs they licensed are by artists that would actually need that kind of exposure.
