The video downplays several clear instructions and limitations as if everything came from a single line command to AI, like when humans added 2 agents that would think that “taxes are too high”. An actual newsworthy video would’ve been leaving such agents without any implicit or explicit command to bother with taxes and, after some time, find out they started to play with taxes within minecraft, which is a game that does not have any sort of in game market or currency.

The video/experiment should’ve added 2 or 3 agents to the group that had no mention of taxes whatsoever and see if the others that are taxed would’ve been bothered.

Quoting from Linux Hater’s Handbook, lovely read

The entire article is 946 characters, 146 words long. It reads like a super concise description of the 18 minute YT video embedded which blurts that “this is the first glimpse of a new species beginning to think for itself and that could soon, according to Nobel laureates and the godfathers of AI, lead to literal human extinction” before the 1 minute mark.

Handwaving this away seems like the most responsible thing to do with your own time. The first experiment on the video, Smallville, can be somewhat replicated by Dwarf Fortress, which uses zero AI - dorfs can make parties, they can make friends, enemies, have children, etc. The only real difference with this minecraft experiment is that there’s actual chat logs you can check

If OP meant Persian Gulf, that kind of explains itself. In many muslim societies, the father will get someone for his daughter(s). 16 is probably legal in their country, that or something its populace would consider “eh, close enough”

“Slower economy = more unemployed people. More unemployed people = easier conscripts. Absolute profit!” - Putin, probably

You might want to play Red Faction Guerilla or Just Cause 2/3, though the former does take a while to open up your choices of destruction.

Hmm, maybe a “Just Cause <workplace> edition” would be a fun game. Or just “you found the keys to the depot forklift”. The physics simulation would make your computer scream

“So, how was your play session with Quake?”
“Oh, today was Penis day at the Gym. One of the folks also went for the Brutalist Butt Plug.”

After being bitten by rm a few times, the impulse rises to alias the rm command so that it does an “rm -i” or, better yet, to replace the rm command with a program that moves the files to be deleted to a special hidden directory, such as ~/.deleted. These tricks lull innocent users into a false sense of security.

Unix aficionados accept occasional file deletion as normal. For example, consider following excerpt from the comp.unix.questions FAQ:
6) How do I “undelete” a file?
Someday, you are going to accidentally type something like:
% rm * .foo
and find you just deleted “*” instead of “*.foo”. Consider it a rite of passage.
Of course, any decent systems administrator should be doing regular backups. Check with your sysadmin to see if a recent backup copy of your file is available

“A rite of passage”? In no other industry could a manufacturer take such a cavalier attitude toward a faulty product. “But your honor, the exploding gas tank was just a rite of passage.”

There’s a reason sane programs ask for confirmation for potentially dangerous commands

The handbook has numbered pages, so why use “page X of the pdf”?

Because the book’s page 1 is the pdf’s page 41, everything before is numbered with roman numerals :)

I also wasn’t expecting anyone to try and read with a browser or reader that doesn’t show the current page number

So good to see that, even in 2026, Unix Haters’ Handbook’s part on rm is still valid. See page 59 of the pdf

I always recommend people used to Unity to check Stride, as it also uses C# and has first class 3D graphics pipeline

Born in 89, so “old” compared to you, but I really want to get into Amigas. They’re slightly older than myself, but they were never sold in Brazil, not even as contraband.

I would try to get into PC-88/98 and Sharp X68000, but I can’t overcome the language barrier yet

Bro it totally can, we just need another billion Nvidia chips running on a megaserver farm, eating up twice the total energetic output of the sun bro. It’s easy bro, don’t be such a downer bro

If only real life AI was anything close to sci-fi AI. We expected cold, calculating computer psychopaths and we got overly enthusiastic yes men that get in a ditz if you ask it about non-existent emojis

Yeah, the lack of artist info, or any actual info on any of the tracks raised some suspicions in my head as well. Lack of track names was also odd, as several other music for games have some sort of title.

The fuck was your title supposed to be, then?

Don’t forget that FF13’s development was a big hell, too, not to mention that the post launch reception was below what squeenix expected

Being Japan, I suspect all the kids are sinking money into Gacha Impact or Honkai Gacha Rail or whatever else

Gotta keep in mind that there are like a thousand other indie games released for every Hollow Knight or Stardew Valley. Survivor bias or something
