Bits of California, Nevada and Utah all squished together.

Whereas Horizon Forbidden West packs all of these into a patch of North America a few miles across (except that the cities are abandoned). The DLC adds a volcanic section.

Edit: the end-credits is a fly-through of much of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVjufECOeHk

In skylab they went full-on “2001 A Space Odyssey”, running round their ring of storage lockers.

Instead of a revolving station, their circular path meant that they were always having to “push up” on each step, having much the same effect, since they were accelerating themselves towards the center.

Is no one going to post the Technology Connections video???

Okay, then

Giving the benefit of the doubt, that effect on the text looks very like the “super zoom” ai upscaling that Pixel phones do.

I just stood about 25ft away from a sharpie and it deblurred the “fine point” text into “FOVE PODIT”.

“Why are they taking my tacos for a ride in the hills?” - me, about once a week.

Q as in queso.

Edit: having seen C, I retract my suggestion. Queue is better.

But that’s outside the 30-mile zone! Think of the cost!

Afaik this originated when John Glenn made a return to space, aged 77, in 1998, e.g. (first forum post that I found)

Not me. I had a cataract operation and choose to have the lens in one eye be near-sighted (since they can’t change focus). I can see my phone clearer then I could in my 50s now.

I hate to say it. But this is one case where I find AI useful, it can summarize the video:

Privacy Risks: These devices feed personal data to corporations, insurance companies, and law enforcement

Technical Vulnerabilities: Jordan demonstrates how these cameras can be hacked via deauth attacks to disrupt connections. RF side-channel attacks to monitor activity, and data metadata analysis.

Ineffectiveness: The video notes that research shows little evidence that these cameras actually deter crime.

promptly notifying the Agentic Commerce Agent and Target of any activity

Which will involve trying to persuade another ai agent that it isn’t use error and that you really need to speak to someone.

That reminds me of the term Lithobraking.

It’s Kessler Syndrome, in case anyone wants to read up on it.

At least I have to give them credit for using plain language rather than circuitous legalese:

We get to decide whether to use Your Content, and we don’t have to pay you, ask your permission, or tell you when we do. But that doesn’t mean we can use it however we want.

The difference being that an ad is trying to sway you to buy a product, but a credit or signature on art is “here’s who created this thing THAT YOU ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING”.

I don’t know why they can’t distinguish between those.

Pixel phones can monitor phone calls for scam conversations (it runs locally on the phone, so audio doesn’t get saved or uploaded).

Theme parks do use image recognition to flag obscene things in ride photos.
