Nobody is answering the prompt lol. Everyone says all of this shit all the time.

You live long enough to never feel at home. Sure the loneliness sucks or whatever, but who do you root for at the football game?

Having to buy new shoes for the rest of eternity. You know how much work I've literally just put into finding shoes that 1) don't suck and 2) aren't made with slave labor? It's impossible. Drives me insane. I'd found my own shoe company once I become immortal rich just to fix that problem alone. Maybe other stuff too we'll get there

I suppose on that note: it seems like a really bad idea to become a public figure after a while. Like you obviously don't want your immortality found out. You have to have like illuminati power before that point though, but it could happen at any time. Like if something happens and you become a news item (i.e. helping someone out and a video goes viral online). Not saying everyone is all that close to going viral, but over a sufficiently long lifespan you're effectively rolling that dice a lot.

Well sure but also what does that even mean? And inventions have fallen into obscurity or failed to reach adoption for their target audience. The issue here being that artists are not the target audience of GenAI, it's anyone who pays for art. Dont know why Adobe is pretending otherwise here.

I think the saving grace of the Internet is in the small holes that arent populated enough for these big actors to care about. If you're influencing a nation, you probably aren't going to inject your AI slop into a tiny proboards or like the forum on Gaia Online.

first I've heard of this show, so forgive me if you've heard this before. But. Aren't all LOTR stories generic, because "generic fantasy" (as we know it today) was defined by LOTR in the first place?

At least, any LOTR story that would blend with the original texts/movie. Peter Jackson's even on the poster, though IDK what his relationship with this work will be. I'm sure you could make an out-there story set in middle-earth, but I'm skeptical that it would be recognizably LOTR.

Depends on if you want it to be recognizably LOTR ofc

What's the traffic on invidious? Like, while I don't necessarily agree with the ad-block-block, the profit motive makes sense given their ubiquity. But are there really enough users of alternate YouTube frontends that Google is capturing any meaningful profit? Especially when developer hours are expensive and could be used elsewhere on more valuable projects?

No shade to OP. Something like this isn't likey to trip BS alarms unless youre already aware of how big this should be. and it's the kinda thing that isn't sexy enough to grab public attention, which lends some credence.

like, I read a headline like, "FUSION MAKES POWER NOW, FUSION POWER PLANTS EXPECTED NEXT YEAR" and I know it's BS. But part of that is the way it promises to affect your life, and it does do in terms of Fusion, which enough people would recognize so as to make their eyeballs valuable.

This article has neither of those really. So yeah. No shade.

(Edit: guess the words "magical equation" is a pretty quick tip off too lol)

Pop sci

The direct article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927650524001130 (Jan 2025)

Reddit chatter about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/1fbl3aw/on_the_same_origin_of_quantum_physics_and_general/

Might be LLM bunk. If you're consuming science news, then first: I recommend PBS Spacetime and second: if a quantum gravity was actually formulated, you'd hear about it there first. It might actually be exciting enough to make CNN.

More to the point though: this sorta thing is too good to be true. Plenty of things are, and are still real. But even still they bear a second glance. This one doesn't pass the sniff test.

I dont honestly expect you to see this, but it was fun enough I thought I say something in a public space.

If you're a tuskan raider who was working with a gal doing belly flops and holding a big gun, that was me. I didn't think touching the world stone would change the map and make alchemist inaccessible, and I was hoping if we made a point to go back and intentionally die that the other guy in your game would see what was up.

I'm usually a solo player, and very rarely a mic player so I enjoyed the chance to hang out in a low pressure, no mic environment. I just wanted to mess around with my big ol engineer gun and enjoy big dakka. Thanks for putting up with me being actually incompetent, it was a good time :)
