    Video Games You Wish Existed

    I figured someone must have tried it - doesn't look much good though. There is a WH40K one, which isn't too bad, but it feels more science fantasy.

    Doctor Which

    I have to put in a word for Pertwee. I guess I'm biased as he was my 1st, but having recently rewatched those episodes I think they stand up very well (if you can ignore the FX), and are certainly better than late-Baker and anything after. Also, if you are familiar with Pertwee's other work, he...

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    She was awesome in The Avengers, but miss-cast in OHMSS. But even if she had played Bond OHMSS still had a terrible script.

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    He didn’t. In the books Bond insists on his martinis stirred, the line was changed in the film because it sounded better.

    What’s a harmonium, and why is it his dad?

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    We live in a post-skill world. Being competent at your profession is so unfashionable.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Every profession has plenty of careless and/or downright dishonest actors. The trouble with diligent and honest people is they assume other people are like them. That also happens a lot (I have a friend who is a pilot). It's just that so long as the plane doesn't crash no one notices.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Not really, because a plane crash is unlikely to pass without anyone noticing.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Indeed, LLMs are set up to try and avoid citing sources, to make it harder to find evidence of plagiarism. It's a useful trick for someone who does their job diligently and honestly. If that were true, the issue cited in the OP, and in other similar cases, would never have arisen. What you...

    It's better at making stuff up convincingly than any human.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Or shyster ones, to fabricate evidence. Or challenge a legitimate ruling, by raising the suspicion that it was based upon hallucinated case law.

    Yeah, I can’t think of any sci fi themed Diablo clones.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    In my experience, a lot of people do not "enjoy" unemployment, even when is not accompanied by poverty. "Progress" would imply people's lives getting better. My observation, over around 40 years, is that people's lives are getting worse. How so "collective"? I see the vast majority of people...

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    If work is a "burden" that we should aim to "lessen", that would make mass unemployment the desired outcome.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    On the subject of the OP, is that these cases are only reported when they are detected. How many of these incidents get through without detection? We can't say of course, but there could be many. In which case a verdict reached on hallucinated case law becomes real case law.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    What is it with popcorn anyway? Cheep to manufacture tasteless unhealthy mush. Also, why not just hollow out a real head, it's cheaper?

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    Maybe they were the original lords of the elemental planes, and the generally chaotic leaning djinn are interlopers? Or wayward children perhaps?
