Damn, I just bought CyberPunk a week ago at $40! Wish I'd waited.

I'd heard the main chorus, but hadn't ever seen the music video or heard the entire song. Wow, does it ever slap!
To add on to what the others have said, there should always be competition between free and paid services. Free services should provide only what they are capable of with the limitations they operate under due to a donation model, while paid services can use all the advantages they can get with advertising, big budgets for hosting, etc. Free and open-source often still won under these conditions. Think Encarta against Wikipedia. If paid wins, that's fine, people can still have a reasonably good alternative with the free option.
The problem arises when a corporation builds on the back of a free resource, and then starts charging users once the network effects kick in. With YouTube, Google was able to leaverage 20 years worth of videos that people lovingly uploaded (although 10 of those years were in the post-ad plagued world) and then start forcing people to bend to their monetization rules. Most of those people didn't upload to YouTube because they wanted to make money off their videos, they just wanted to share a funny video. If given the choice, they would have chosen free instead of ad-driven. We have no choice since all that content is now locked behind YouTube's ad walls.
They've only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It's performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.
Spot on, I could feel his presence
Very impressive! Apparently the slightly weaker version is bring released today in Bard, which is still not available in freaking Canada.
The more powerful version which claims to beat GPT4 at MMLU comes out next year.
That word always seemed so overly dramatic to me 😁
I bet you didn't notice the words "nligh" and "tened" in enlightened either until now

I was never particularly into the cyberpunk genre, so I was largely immune to the Cyberpunk 2077 hype, and subsequent disappointment and anger. I'd seen tons of videos of trailers and gameplay, and never really expected to play the game myself.
I built a beast of a new PC a few days ago and picked up CP2077 on sale to put it through its paces. I loaded up Cyberpunk and my jaw was on the floor. This is the most beautiful game I've ever seen! The gameplay feels smooth and satisfying and I'm really engrossed in the lore and environment. Of course, I'm playing the 2.1 patched version of the game, so I don't know what the experience at launch would have been like. Regardless, so far it's felt like an incredible game!
Nice try, but that's no normal human. That's Jeff Goldblum!
It looks very toy-like to me for some reason, like those tilt-shift photographs. I wish I could see the rest of the surroundings, it's a very interesting picture. Good job, OP!
