Also the Pee Tapes summit

Time to bring back the word Pseud :)

This is a classic example of MIMO. Moron In, Moron Out.

Poison the well. Host enough toxic material (random garbage, entire books that are just the word la repeated etc.) in such a way that the bots can happily scrape it, but it won't be served to the users and they'll stop recognising it as a valid source of training. That or just get more stupid.

Supposedly one of the rules for any of the Guinness 'biggest food thing' records is that the food mustn't be wasted. If I were the previous record holder I'd be putting in a complaint.

As someone who came back to the hobby after the initial eurogame ‘change’ I tend to think of it all as “modern board games” vs old. There’s still some bangers in the old stuff but you have to go into them remembering it was a very different era.

It can't even beat an Atari 2600 at Chess on easy mode at the moment.

Ah right. Thanks for the clarification. With all the “This is an XBox” PR they’ve been doing for XBox Cloud play the immediate assumption was that it just streamed like any other portable/desktop/phone/fridge and was equally bad :)

Ah right. So it is a proper portable XBox then?

So is it just streaming XBox cloud games or actually playing them offline locally? Because if you have to be tethered to good broadband to play you might as well have an Xbox and a proper size TV.

It's the programmer equivalent of "No plan survives first contact with the enemy" :)

Often first responded to by the coders with "You did what?!"

Oh I'm sorry, is this the five minute argument, or the full half hour?
