Elon Musk Explains Why We're Probably Living In A Video Game

Jinx says...

This says quite a lot about Elon Musk, I feel.

I'd counter his argument by saying its only been 40 years since pong, too short a time to be extrapolating too far into the future. I believe we are approaching a very real physical limit to transistor size, so I don't think its necessarily a given that in another 40 years we will have moved on the same distance. Basically for all we know this could be a momentary blip for a century or so.

but yeah, if you agree that we will continue to create increasingly sophisticated and powerful computers, and that humans continue to be for a little while, then ok, I think it is feasible that we could create a virtual world, which would make me quite terrified that our reality might suddenly BSOD.

Gervais' Nastiest Jokes at Golden Globes, Pre-2016

dannym3141 says...

Maybe i'm completely wrong, but i thought he was pretty average this year. It felt a little like he'd bought into his own hype and instead of having the goal to be funny, he had the goal to be abrasive or harsh. I'm not saying he wasn't funny, but he wasn't a patch on the last two. Less about wit this time and more about 'rudeness'.

In the past few years i've been really worried that he's losing it. Life's Too Short was cringeworthy, Derek was the Karl Pilkington show and his standup was mostly from Karl too. Maybe i'm over exposed.

TED Talks - Monica Lewinsky: The price of shame

JustSaying says...

What?
So, are you, like, suggesting Sarkeesian asked for it? What? Was her skirt too short and her top too slutty?
The woman did her job, analyzing entertainment products and their relationship to women, and got death- and rapethreats. That's exactly what Lewinsky talks about minus the shaming aspect. Yes, her talk is about shaming but that's only the spread on the shit-sandwich she got and is reviewing now.
It's about shitty people being themselves online, about modern mob behaviour. Both women suffered from that and both got their share of misogyny and abuse. What they did to get it isn't the issue, it's what's done to them. They may not sit in the same boat but Sarkeesian is certainly sitting in the 15 years more advanced version of it.

I'm not sure that Sarkeesian and Lewinsky's situations are all that similar. Lewinsky was never looking for public attention to begin with, she was shamed (wrongfully in my opinion) for something that goes on between average people all the time, but because it involved a President that makes it national news.
Sarkeesian needs publicity if she want's her message to be heard and so she does whatever she has to to get our attention. Once you have it however you may find that it cuts both ways, your message may be well received by some while inflaming those who disagree with you.
I agree with some things Sarkeesian says and I disagree with other things, but for me it's about her words and her actions, and her ideas, not who she is personally.

Korean Dubstep Mannequin.

Stormsinger says...

Still working on developing a taste for dubstep, the music. But the dance style is pretty impressive, and it does seem like it more or less needs the music. So...in another year or so, I fully expect to have assimilated dubstep into my collection of tastes.

And you're right, it's too short.

"Unskippable" Geico Ad

AeroMechanical says...

Hm, well, it's a minute long.

I'm hoping they figure commercials on TV out one day. Originally Hulu would play one 15 or 30 second commercial at the point where a normal broadcast television show would have 2+ minutes of commercials.

I don't watch live TV because of the commercials. When I have to, I go off and do something else, check my phone, flip to TCM (no commercials) or do anything but watch the commercials. If nothing else, I just zone them out and think about other things.

A single 30 second commercial break is too short to bother forwarding through, getting up, or otherwise diverting my attention. I actually watched the commercials, and I didn't even mind, really. You would think that would make the commercial time much more valuable, but I guess that isn't the case because the last time I watched Hulu it had almost as many ads as normal television.

I try to stay positive about the human race, but I fear that the majority of people actually sit there paying attention all throughout the stupid long commercial breaks on TV.
