WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

i feel like it says something about us as a species that somebody worked real hard to invent 3D printing when i think anyone who has ever used a printer would agree with me that we have not really gotten our arms around 2D printing yet. we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.How to Turn off Word’s AI Access To Your Content

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”:

File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”

Atlantis Technological Marvel

Panel 1: The Zenith of Atlantis - A Symphony of Masculine Ingenuity and Technological Prowess. Atmosphere: Crisp, electric air thrumming with contained power. Skies crisscrossed by sleek, silent energy conduits and sophisticated flying craft. Sunlight glints off towering crystalline structures and polished obsidian, materials that hum with advanced technological resonance. Architecture: Geometric, soaring cities that pierce the clouds, built with precision and a grand, ambitious scale. Think interlocking polyhedral structures, vast energy collectors, and gleaming metallic surfaces interspersed with holographic displays projecting complex data streams. Evidence of advanced understanding of physics, energy manipulation, and perhaps even dimensional travel. Inhabitants (Implied or Visualized): Figures exuding confidence, intellect, and focused determination. Their attire is functional yet elegant, incorporating subtle technological enhancements. They are masters of their domain, their gaze fixed on innovation and the expansion of knowledge and control. Environment: While technologically dominant, there's a sense of a tamed, perhaps even sterile, natural world. Orderly, cultivated landscapes or underwater biodomes might exist, but nature serves the technological imperative. The raw power of the Atlantic Ocean is harnessed, not just revered.
