I think you would have a hard time actually buying this.

FWIW, I also use AI as a tool in my work writing software. Rough estimate is that it gives me a 10%-20% boost in productivity. Specifics vary widely depending on the task at hand.
Rarely gives a 100% working solution, but often can do 50%-90% of the up front work, and assist in refinements.

Yep, Flint water crisis happened when the governor replaced the mayor with appointed city emergency managers.

I also use it in my job as a software developer, where it can help write code that I could write myself, but often faster. Mistakes are resolved through testing and debugging, just like the code I write.
Knowing the underlying computer science is very important to getting good results though.

I wouldn't use it to replace experts! However there is a lot of collective knowledge in these models.
I'm using GPT to learn to bake. It can customize plans to what I want to make, gradually introduce concepts, help solve specific problems I'm having, and adapt to my feedback.

The charitable answer is that you treat the AI as an expert and ask it questions from the perspective of a beginner, similar to a conversation with a human expert.
As you go you ask for clarifications, segue into side topics, etc.
Works best as a conversation, rather than a divine oracle.

This way underappreciated by AI critics. These models are just tools.
I use ChatGPT to assist with software dev. It makes mistakes, but so do I! That's what testing and debugging are for. Result is quality code in less time than writing from scratch.
But knowing what to ask matters!

What is this idiocy? Does the writer not understand separation of powers? Limits of power imposed by the Constitution?
Show me where in the Constitution or federal law it says that the President gets to unilaterally name international water bodies.

He should be disbarred.
Same goes for any lawyer that goes along with these treasonous acts. Might not matter for people like Bondi and Bove at the top but anyone underneath needs to have their career ruined if they don't resign in protest.

Not sure if I fully understand your question. But regarding VR, that's not planned. I think it would be extremely difficult to make a VR version of this game that wasn't nausea inducing with all of the flips and spins, and the dynamic gravity.

James Franco might be perfect. I can see him making that exact expression.

Part 2 of this clip with some driving around the zero-G part of the cylinder. Even without zero-G you can climb the walls by driving fast enough around the circle! I just missed the stunt at the end.

Blue states need to start providing protective details to replace the federal ones taken away.

It's not perfect, you rarely get the exact answer you want in one shot. But it's like having an always available interactive assistant and tutor. When something doesn't work you can describe what went wrong and get alternative suggestions.

I'm a blender noob, teaching myself as I work on a solo game.
Besides the usual tutorials and docs I've been using ChatGPT for advice on how do some specific tasks tailored to my needs.
A lot of artists are against generative AI, but LLMs have been helpful teaching me to make my own artwork.

Duck Duck Go's DuckAssist:
The Presidents of the United States in order are: George Washington...
middle of list omitted
...Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden.
So currently missing Trump's reelection.
No conspiracy, just imperfect synthesized results.

I've used a lot of tweens, but I haven't tried to adjust anything that would affect sorting order. Usually some container with a screen relative anchor fairly near the top of the hierarchy.

This is a just a test level, a playground for trying stunts and obstacles. The texturing is currently just a simple triplanar for now.
Full level designs will come soon once the controls, physics, and camera are close to final.

Ugh, BlueSky murdered the already low bitrate! Will work on that in the future. In the meantime here's a screenshot that shows a bit more detail.

He also ruined the RZ drive running on 2nd-and-9. His biggest play calling flaw.

Have you considered adding an NFL average row to this chart? It's hard to see where a team fits among the rest of the league for anything but the first down or touchdown column that the chart is sorted by.

Thinking a bit more about this it would be a partial solution at best. Depth offset would help a lot for cloth viewed head-on, but would do nothing for under cloth sticking out sideways from the silhouette edge of the character. Those would have to be resolved with actual geometry fixes.

I wonder how much you could massage it using depth offsets. The shirt could have an offset applied to help keep it in front of the pants.
As long as one piece of clothing should always be on top of another it could help significantly I'd think.

I'm just guessing, but the Packers outgained the Bears per play 8.5 to 5.8. The passing difference was even more dramatic: Love 15.4 per attempt, Caleb 7.5. Even bigger difference when including sacks.
GB moved at will but only faltered in two goal to go drives.
So I think GB would win PGWE.

Been running almost every day since June. 3-5 miles, but I tried a half marathon in October.
Today I went 15. Just decided to run until my body said no more. Just putting one foot in front of the other as long as I could.
