Depends on what you mean by that. PTs can use chiropractic techniques to great effect.
But there is a MASSIVE difference between an actual PT that sometimes uses specific chiropractic techniques and the con artists who try to shake your down for weekly neck cracks.
Stop giving them ideas!
I want that game - exactly as it is - but with new, modern graphics. AC+AX is about as perfect as a game can possibly get. Just needs a fresh coat of paint.
I don’t just mean DLSS or frame generation as it exists today… I mean completely re-interpreting what is rendered before it’s displayed with complete temporal and deterministic consistency. Given that we’ve seen some demos of the concept in action, and that was over a year ago, I really don’t think it’s far off, either.
Imagine booting up classic Monkey Island, and Nvidia’s AI reinterpreted makes it look like a high-end modern animated TV show. That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.
It’s a matter of time before we can use real-time AI upscalers. Nvidia (et al) have been working on this quite a bit.
In the mean time, the two options you mentioned are it.
Google’s unbelievably incompetent AI or the “info”?
Because the info is wrong, but this is an actual screenshot of the outrageously stupid (and frequently dangerous) stuff that Gemini says.
And tomatoes. Tomatoes used to be amazing. Even the worst ones were amazing.
Now they just taste like “wet”. If you want a good tomato you have to track down lovingly and carefully bred heirloom plants and grow them yourself.
All those different kinds of banana. All we get is cabendish which is, like, the worst of all the amazing banana varieties.
They’re readily available in the LA area. You just need to visit an asian specialty market.
Unless… there is always another layer because different people require different illusions… and therefore there is no escape from the Matrix…
¿Por que no los dos?
There’s a whole horrifying episode of Deep Space Nine about something like this.
Been doing that for years. Will happily continue.
But I’m just one person. Ubisoft won’t feel it unless hundreds of thousands more do the same.
Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful”
Good explanation. Just one nit to pick over word choice: “Capitalism” is not a synonym for “free market”.
Capitalism is a separate ideology that champions (even romanticizes) the acquisition and hoarding of wealth at all costs. It leads to trusts, monopolies, stifling of competition and, eventually, the death of the free market.
In other words: Socialism and free markets are compatible. Socialism and Capitalism are not.
Leftism is about being egalitarian. Everyone is equal, power is shared equally, and that equality is protected. There many very different paths and approaches to this conceptually. @stembolts@programming.dev gave a great overview of some basic specific policies below.
Rightism is about consolidation of power. Since power and wealth are inextricably linked (two sides of the same coin, as it were), the defining feature of Rightism is hoarding of wealth and entrenchment of power.
Looking at our two major parties, their platforms, their policies, and their behavior as organizations, it’s easy to tell that neither meets the definition of Leftist.
Not really, it’s just that my area of expertise changes and shifts over time.
