This. Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency had both a UK (cool) and an US (downright OUTSTANDING) version. If you can only watch one of them, pick the US one.

Someone who what* ?
He clearly says “You need to try, Linux”. He’s talking to someone named Linux. Someone that needs to try.
idk, just did a tl;dr to save you some time since this article has a clickbait title and nothing of substance.
Tl:dr: Avoid ultra processed foods. Eat natural foods since they are less ‘energetically dense’ Eat crunchy foods instead of soft foods forces you to eat at a slower pace

‘The thing they sold us under the name of AI’ is at a dead end, yes.
AI is at a dead end. AGI or superintelligent AI promised years ago are nowhere to be seen, self driving cars are not a thing. The best escape route for AI businesses is to promise the possibility of weaponizing AI. After all, the dead can’t complain.

5·3 months agoWhen cooking TVP (textured vegetal proteins), a simple and quick way to remove the awful soy taste: just add a little bit of vinegar. Add the vegetables and spices you want and a little bit of water.
If everything is cooked but some of the water hasn’t fully evaporated, no big deal: just add a bit of corn starch and mix. The juices will become a sauce and you’ll feel like a chinese restaurant Chef.

1·3 months agoTrue, but OP wants to run an impostor/mystery, so i feel i’m not completely out of touch, there.
I know. I played Brindlewood Bay, and we felt that the endings were a little off because of the gameplay rules. That’s why I was wondering about throwing an impostor out there to see what would come of it.
I wonder, in a mystery-shaped storytelling, if starting the adventure by secretely telling a random player “you’re the murderer, you killed that person at this time with this weapon at this place” could help you build the mystery part since it would eventually result in having sometimes contradicting information and fake evidence planted by the culprit

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, whose company has invested billions of dollars in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, has had it with the constant hype surrounding AI.
During an appearance on podcaster Dwarkesh Patel’s show this week, Nadella offered a reality check.
“Us self-claiming some [artificial general intelligence] milestone, that’s just nonsensical benchmark hacking to me,” Nadella told Patel.
Instead, the CEO argued that we should be looking at whether AI is generating real-world value instead of mindlessly running after fantastical ideas like AGI.
To Nadella, the proof is in the pudding. If AI actually has economic potential, he argued, it’ll be clear when it starts generating measurable value.
“So, the first thing that we all have to do is, when we say this is like the Industrial Revolution, let’s have that Industrial Revolution type of growth,” he said.
“The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent,” he added. “Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we’ll be fine as an industry.”
Needless to say, we haven’t seen anything like that yet. OpenAI’s top AI agent — the tech that people like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman say is poised to upend the economy — still moves at a snail’s pace and requires constant supervision.
So Nadella’s line of thinking is surprisingly down-to-Earth. Besides pushing back against the hype surrounding artificial general intelligence — the realization of which OpenAI has made its number one priority — Nadella is admitting that generative AI simply hasn’t generated much value so far.
As of right now, the economy isn’t showing much sign of acceleration, and certainly not because of an army of AI agents. And whether it’s truly a question of “when” — not “if,” as he claims — remains a hotly debated subject.
There’s a lot of money on the line, with tech companies including Microsoft and OpenAI pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into AI.
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek really tested the resolve of investors earlier this year by demonstrating that its cutting-edge reasoning model, dubbed R1, could keep up with the competition, but at a tiny fraction of the price. The company ended up punching a $1 trillion hole in the industry after triggering a massive selloff.
Then there are nagging technical shortcomings plaguing the current crop of AI tools, from constant “hallucinations” that make it an ill fit for any critical functions to cybersecurity concerns.
Nadella’s podcast appearance could be seen as a way for Microsoft to temper some sky-high expectations, calling for a more rational, real-world approach to measure success.
At the same time, his actions tell a strikingly different story. Microsoft has invested $12 billion in OpenAI and has signed on to president Donald Trump’s $500-billion Stargate project alongside OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
After multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk questioned whether Altman had secured the funds, Nadella appeared to stand entirely behind the initiative.
“All I know is I’m good for my $80 billion,” he told CNBC last month in response to Musk’s accusations.
