There's a DreamWorks logo in the bottom left.
Easy to use, multi-threaded, light... weight? (I'm on mobile, using a VPN, so I'm guessing that's why it failed me. Unless...)
I would agree if we stopped making marriage the end goal of relationships.
inKONBINI, a narrative focused third-person convenience store simulator set in the 90s, releases a demo on Steam.
I remember a Freakonomics episode that described an experimental alternative to traffic cops: a "good driver" lottery.
If you're "caught" driving the speed limit, you get entered into a lottery. Less adversarial relationship with traffic cops and more drivers would be incentivized to drive safe more often.
Edit: It was apparently an article, not a podcast.
I see a lot of well-meaning support for this. I can't help but think there has to be a way to implement these kinds of controls without taking power away from the user.
Like the Fediverse implementing better mod tools rather than expecting Twitter to effectively moderate the internet.
What movie is this from?
In our world.
I would consider Wheel of Time as an example of fantasy with reskinned real world cultures.
Andor is essentially a landlocked version of England, having a "Lion Throne" and ruled by a queen. Cairhien and Mayene bear similarities to France (Cairhien has the Sun Throne; Mayener names are reminiscent of French). Arad Doman resembles Arabic countries and Iran. (source: TV Tropes)
It's well-written, but by nature of being fantasy, it sidesteps the challenge of writing meaningful interactions between real world communities.
If I were to check him out, what book should I start with?
If they actually made that work... respect.
Tl;dr: The reform party depends on millionaire money, which make them look less "of the people".
Why would you torrent Wikipedia?
I remember reading an article a while ago arguing that WeChat is explicitly what Elon is trying to recreate.
A beta build of Android 16 contains an early version of Google’s new Android Desktop Mode that, in the future, could let users simply plug their smartphone into a monitor and use it like a laptop or desktop computer.
I don't know about distinct voices. The sample didn't cover dialogue. It's possible with AI, but I wouldn't expect it from low-effort AI-generation.
I listened to one of the Audible samples, labeled Virtual Voice. Apple had one labeled as "Madison," so who knows whether they're all going to be labeled so clearly.
It sounded like a TikTok narrator, passable but at the quality level I would expect from a Netflix second-screen show. The book was at the same quality level, too. (The author does "life and business coaching with innovative and adaptable strategies, transcending traditional boundaries.")
I consider these kinds of books and narration to be slop, so I'm definitely not the target market. My worry is that publishers will use AI narrators as virtual scabs to lowball actual creators.
The first few chapters seemed like someone took all their antisemitic conspiracy theory / murder fantasies and model-swapped aliens for Jews.
I can't unsee it, and I wish I could suspension-of-disbelief harder, because I was initially really interested in the premise.
Edit: Maybe xenophobic / immigrants is more apt.
