Lawyers: "Generating music using a machine learning model trained using real artists' music (without permission) does not violate those artists copyright!"

Therefore

Big Data: "Generating a black box replication of your identity trained on your private personal information and activity (without permission) does not violate your privacy!"

I handled the virtual paperwork for all leaves of absence at my last job, and there were multiple cases of medical leaves being extended indefinitely. There was something like several months to a year of extended absence before the company would even be allowed to consider firing, and other restrictions over handling medical LOA could make it almost impossible to get in contact with the employee to verify their recovery status.

Should a business be allowed to stop paying for medical coverage they promised to someone who in turn has a medical accident that puts them in a coma? Can the business legally or ethically assume they will never return or provide additional value to the company? Does your business give a shit about ethics?

You could view it as the employee gaming the system or taking advantage of a loophole, but the gray area definitely leaves more than just OP confused about what to do. In the longest case I remember, the reason they were able to stay employed for so long was nothing to do with how the employee was tolerated before leaving. From conversations, I got the impression that management would rather not have them return anyways

This percentage should be part of the warning they give below a chat, not just "ChatGPT can make mistakes", which implies IMO a much higher rate of success

I feel like doubling the workload is better than quadrupling the size of the project inheriting a bevy of features and tools you likely won't touch at all. Sure it's stripped out later (ideally), but I like less bloat and that includes during dev when I might have to dig through 3rd party code with its own conventions and standards packed into a 'source available' library with potentially dogshit or absent documentation.

Also yes, it's good practice

Boss fights definitely, your sentiment reminds me of Warframe. Don't miss farming bosses. However, there are a lot of ways randomized loot can be implemented, and I wouldn't call all of them dark patterns

I'm not a big guy but it still surprises me every time I see how small Rogan is

Yeah I'll stick to my free IDE that still allows me to turn off telemetry

If you look at extra content surrounding the original, it becomes pretty clear that BGE2 is what they always wanted BGE to be in terms of scope and theme, but after so long in development now, I can't help but wonder if the restrictions on scope were what made the original truly great.

I hope they manage to pull it together into a cohesive product eventually-- and I will be playing it when they do-- but I would be truly surprised if the sequel is as impactful or memorable as the OG

I can't answer that, but absolutely it is

This just in: Technology Improves Incrementally Over Time!

Doesn't need to be true, just convincing to some suits

What a dumb take (in your quote). Autocompletion showing me all the members of an object is nothing like ChatGPT hallucinating members that don't exist. Autocomplete will show you members you haven't seen, or aren't even documented.

Not to mention they said syntax highlighting is a bad thing... Why use computers at all? Go back to the golden days of punchcards
