Yeah this has nothing to do with playing RPG, just a generation of screens.

But it reminded one of the firsts prompts I tried with ChatGPT back in 2022. I asked him to simulate a text-based adventure (based on the discworld universe) and every command I gave it would behave as an open world text RPG. It was pretty mindblowing

A while back I had to have a long and unpleasant dental procedure - a bone graft so I could get an implant in an area where the bone had been damaged - this took about 4 hours. During this time the dentist played music - mostly various works selected at random by Hans Zimmer.

At one point things got a bit intense as apparently I have very hard bones - which meant that quite a bit of force was being used. The music playing during this part of the procedure was "No Time for Caution" - which I thought was hilarious... and this fact kind of took my mind off of things.

Hans Zimmer is my soundtrack of choice for focus (Dune 2 is specially good). Found out that a colleague also had the same taste which was surprising for me, now I imagine it is a common use case for his music.

Proving that another thing extremists share (on whatever side) is the total lack of economic sense.

Many questioning why Microsoft would agree to this, but to me the concessions they made strike me as minor.

> OpenAI remains Microsoft’s frontier model partner and Microsoft continues to have exclusive IP rights and Azure API exclusivity

This should be the headline - Microsoft maintains its financial and intellectual stranglehold on OpenAI.

And meanwhile, while vaguer, a few of the bullet points are potentially very favorable to Microsoft:

> Microsoft can now independently pursue AGI alone or in partnership with third parties.

> The revenue share agreement remains until the expert panel verifies AGI, though payments will be made over a longer period of time.

Hard to say what a "longer period of time" means, but I presume it is substantial enough to make this a major concession from OpenAI.

Maybe OpenAI is burning money heavily and MS is the only/best partner to get it from?

Also for MS it is worth to keep investing little by little,getting concessions from OpenAI and becoming the de facto owner of it.

The electricity mix in France is still way cleaner than in California:

- France: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/FR/5y/yearly

- California: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/US-CAL-CISO/5y/year...

And their kWh costs less than 20 Cents in the standard plan:

They even offer flex prices going down as low as 12,32 Cents/kWh.

Nuclear power rules.

If we are comparing the progress made over time, my vote goes to Brazil, which holds a 50-year advantage in its green energy focus.

The main difference here is that Trump is satisfied with the narrative/appearance of winning, and not really winning. There is no 4D chess on his side other than appear tough and a winner.

China is in it for the long run, they have a strategy and the poorly thought and planned actions of Trump have opened the world to China, so these 3 next years might be the definitive moment when China becomes the de-facto leader of the world.

I imagine that the nail in the coffin would be China managing to get the Yuan as the international currency to trade with its partners.

Tried using it, but 2FA is throwing me the error 409 below. Might be because I'm behind my company VPN.

>And major companies conducting layoffs like IBM and Salesforce have held themselves up as examples of that narrative, though their employee culls may be more focused on outsourcing than automation.

Automation seems to be a better excuse than outsourcing
