“Intentional” is a weasel word in this context. It means very little in terms of the end result. Humans making art is generative as well even all the way back to cave paintings which were interpretations of animals in nature.

Procedural generation is miles away from what these LLMs are doing. It’s not just coming up with a random maze/map for a fetch mission. Right now, it can generate a novel quest, with all of its characters, come up with a unique set of mission goals and theoretically generate those assets and characters (atleast in 2D). Turns out, all this self-expression or whatever is cheap.

Snowden is for lack of a better word- a drama queen. His release of random foreign intelligence unrelated to privacy and his essential defection to Russia show the complete lack of integrity.

Of course it works. It always works unless you have have a segment of society actively telling your kids they don’t have to listen to their parents and to be hyper individualistic. How do you think most of Asia, South America, Africa, and the vast majority of rural America function? Following your dreams may work out in a small sliver of cases but for the vast majority advice from well meaning and reasonable parents helps guide them towards fulfilling, high percentage of success lives.

It does depend on the influencer, but the vast majority of twitch and TikTok influencers are pretty home bound.

I disagree. Being an actor is intensely social, physical and plays perfectly into what is traditionally, and correctly, considered a well lived life.

Rongorongo hasn’t been deciphered. Secondly, it goes LTR and RTL alternatively but also inverts the alphabets upside down. There really shouldn’t be a reason that that would be faster and easier to read.

The Middle East is very rich with a very high standard of living. A lot of those countries have no income tax and basically free medical and utilities. Much better than what Norway offers.
Re:Farouk Al Kasim Saved Norway from Its Oil

Not sure what you mean. The Middle East is making out like bandits, it makes a sizeable percentage of the GDP in south and East Asia etc. it just feels like you’re putting Norway on a pedestal for no particular reason.

It’s important to note that religious ceremonies are exempted from this law. NOAA form 17-4(a) does not need to be submitted for rain dances or other religious ceremonies intended to change the weather. This, however, is likely to change if the success rates of your weather ceremony become statistically significant.
What a beautiful way to put this.

It’s the reason we’re so entrepreneurial. Four out of ten unicorns are started by first gen immigrants originally on the H1B with Indians leading the pack and Israel in second.
It not absurd, they’re the reason we have over half our jobs. Your thinking is too short term and ultimately very destructive.
