Honestly? Congratulations, your hardware *and* software are both working incredibly well and responding nearly instantly. All QA testing is a kick in the balls. (Tellingly, many people’s reaction to this is schadenfreude about AI, though this robotics demo likely has little to do with LLMs.)

I‘d be happier if I ran the world and the people who run the world seem like they’d be happier if they were mildly popular on social media, so perhaps we could work out some form of trade.

You might think that so many Millennials are lawyers because the Great Recession thrust a lot of young people into grad school but really it's because we got exposed to property law at a young age while dealing with counterparties reneging on the terms of a pre-negotiated Kadabra trade

This is a nice write up.

Definitely would have said Soma or Life is Strange in 2015, but I think one of the games I most think of now when I think about what games can be art-wise is Undertale. Helps Undertales ranking that its soundtrack, especially Megalomania, is still part of my work music rotation.
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2015, if you had one, and what you would say your favourite game of 2015 is now, if it differs

The self-congratulatory tone of this press conference is astonishing. Law enforcement misidentified the initial suspect—again—then allowed the actual perpetrator to be completely in the wind for 48 hours, during which time he went on to kill again
Officials say the suspected Brown University shooter was also responsible for the killing of an MIT professor at his Massachusetts home this week. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4s2xLSq

Until I get evidence to the contrary, I'm blaming Professor Nuno Loureiro's murder on the FBI incompetently failing to prevent an interstate killing spree

apparently the shooter may have shot himself in the storage facility after killing the MIT professor. im glad they eventually figured out his identity, but i can't help but feel that if the FBI was better at their job, they could have prevented the murder of this professor. there was a 2 day period

Man, all this discussion makes me want to play KOTOR 2 again
This is an excellent thread, for you fellow KotOR II lovers out there. Good critiques worth reading.
There's a few points I'd like to make in contrast, however, as someone who's thought Way Too Much about this game for (*gulps*) 20 years...

KotOR II is IMO a bad deconstruction of Star Wars, but a good reconstruction (by accident). And I’m wary of any remake/retelling, because it will presumably be made by people who think it’s a good deconstruction

“yeah our network downtime was getting to be a problem until we told the bot it was wearing programmer socks. we’ve got a whole team trying to figure out which fursonas work better for QA”
"we found a Type Of Guy who represents a particularly helpful corner of the latent space" is easily my favorite type of positive LLM posting.
Our Discord support agent was kind of annoying, so I asked it to pretend to be a 58-year old systems administrator from Ohio that wrote on forums a lot.
Turns out -- this makes your support bot extremely competent. The quality of its support responses are now far better.

This was incredible to see. I wasn't paying attention to a chunk of the game watching some of the pitches and strikeouts on replay
Trey Yesavage struck out 12 batters and walked none in seven innings of one-run ball in Game 5 of the freakin' World Series.
He also generated 23 whiffs tonight, the most by any pitcher in the World Series in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).
Here are his dozen strikeouts against the Dodgers.
