And just like that, any further plans for another Diablo game are now gone as Microsoft will find a way around this.

That’s not exactly true. The AI answers are often wrong or incomplete. You still need skill, it’s just that the required skill has shifted to accepting this is true, recognizing when the AI answer is not complete and correct, (which can be more difficult due to the answers often being seemingly correct, yet slightly wrong or incomplete), and then doing what you’d do in any other search that nets poor results: adjust and search more or dig further down the given results stack.

This. Searching Google still nets valid first page results most of the time. Like it always has been, searching is a skill that you need to develop and maintain. When the results shift due to content drift, you need to adapt to remain effective.

If you can’t be bothered to try, you don’t get to throw a little baby tantrum because you didn’t get the bottle put directly in your mouth.

Damn.

One that’s intuitive and doesn’t require a cheat sheet or what I like to call fingular contortionism discovery.

The jitters.

Did they stutter?

160 ish what, gold? Not even close.

Nice

I don’t disagree but that’s less of a problem with good writing where the ad isn’t forced or obvious…in fact, it can be much more effective if done that way versus taking you out of the moment and shoving the product in your face like “BUY THIS” during the middle of a touching scene. But at least with The Price is Right, it’s just a gameshow and not some sort of drama or whatever.

So many people want to boil everything down to a soundbite or a singularity. The reality is that the creation of the show was probably multifaceted, with product sponsorship being one part of it and entertainment being another, which is why the show does what you mentioned. It is both fun and an up-front ad for products.

,…and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with either or both. It is okay to sell shit and it’s okay to have fun. At least there are some people out there like yourself who get that. Sometimes I lose faith because there seem to be so few who do.

Using a well established name for a web-based thing, see gleam.io, is probably not the best idea.
