The AAA industry is obsessed with using their own game engines, to the point where the AA industry can run circles around them using Unreal.

You can give the IP to a random Norwegian (they're always Scandinavian) game studio you've never heard of before and get a better product.

Well yeah then they wouldn't be able to jack boot their way around the world causing problems.

Imagine how much better it would be if the US military had maybe 10% less funding and that money was spent on infrastructure or social services. Can't have that so they have to justify the massive military expense by having nearly constant wars. If no obvious conflict presents itself, invent one, and then lose.

The 12-year-old would die in childbirth as god intended. These people don't actually care about the baby they just care about having power over other people.

You are accusing somebody of some pretty horrendous crimes with absolutely no evidence simply because you personally have randomly decided you don't like them.

Right that's why I mean that what does the average Facebook employee do when they get in in the morning?

I've been there, (not exactly but in a similar situation) it's just something to stick on your resume. People get massively over excited if they hear you worked at one of the big tech companies. The automatically assume that everyone who works there is a super genius. This even works for Microsoft employees.

This happens because recruiters never know anything about the industry that they're recruiting for, so they're just looking for easy hints and "worked at Meta" is a good, if not particularly necessarily accurate, hint that this person knows what they're talking about.

No AI could replicate zuckerberg's robotic nature.

Even if the whole idea of having employees use AI as much as possible wasn't stupid in and of itself tracking token usage is a terrible way to do it.

It's like trying to work out how much work has been done in a warehouse by tracking employees calories, sure the people who've burnt more calories have probably done more work but it's not one to one equivalency.

I can mess around with an AI for an hour using thousands of tokens up and produce nothing tangible at the end. If I'm going back and forth trying to get an AI to write a piece of code and that takes me an hour to get a result that I could have written myself in 15 minutes, then I'm not being productive. But I sure as hell used up a lot of tokens.

I don't understand how Facebook has so many employees. What do they do, what does their standard day look like.

If I don't show up to my job there's loads of tasks that wouldn't get done but Facebook is a website, it can't honestly need so many employees especially when they never really change anything.

That's what I mean though everyone understands VR to be a gaming peripheral first and foremost. Apple then came in to that market with a non-gaming focused VR headset (sorry AR special computing headset) with no obvious practical application.

What am I supposed to do with it it can't game but it also can't do anything else. I literally can't even watch YouTube videos on it. I can watch VR videos on my phone with a piece of cardboard yet this several thousand dollar device from Apple can't do that. So why would I buy it?

I have this one eyelash that grows really long and sticks in my eye. It takes it ages to get to that length but then it's really irritating until I cut it and cutting a single eyelash is not easy.

There's way too much detail for geoguessr, They like a blurry photo of a dirt road.

This pebble looks Bolivian...
