1:15:30 DJ RizzMagic makes this show soo good alll the time
Hobbit movies are FUN! There is goblin kingdom, elf on a giant moose, battleboars (or warhogs, idk), there is a dragon, adventure, armies fighing it out, elves vs gnomes and then elves and gnomes vs orks. i have a blast every time i rewatch them and i dont understand why people are dunking on it. so its not the good and perfect adaptation of the book, ok, fine. but its a cool 3 movies
HI i'm from Poland🤢
I've been using chatgpt, pay for it, and have it tweaked/set to what I use it for as a researcher (yes I check sources because I'm aware its incorrect at times.) So I have no interest in copilot. That and I don't want it actively monitoring literally everything I do because its tied into my OS. As it is, I'm tempted to use a install Linux for bills/finances, and then use Windows strictly for games.
Did you say our dear Belgian Larian guy's name is SWEDISH??? Such a disgrace! Larian is a Belgian pride. Vincke is a Dutch-pronounced name. You pronounce it as "Vink-e" with the "e" as in "the" (sjwa sound).
I really like Copilot and use it all the time. It's such a handy shortcut in MS Edge and the browser is honestly better than chrome.
But having copilot forced onto users like bixby would be super annoying
43:40 The Larian hate is a manufactured amplification by the management of the struggling large triple-A studios with intentional misdirection. Incredibly effective in the world where nuance and effective informed agency is at an all-time low.
y'all realize how rude it is to say stuff like "hey siri" and "hey alexa" or "hey google" on a podcast that people listen to near siri and alexa? very annoying – something to consider.

I tried so hard … and got so far…
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
Meta is also rampant with cloned accounts. I am wishing, more and more, that there was an alternative. And yes, I also wish I could un-install Co-Pilot from Win. 11.
16:28 Taking a page from Linus and blocking facebook
1:13 No one makes Luke laugh more than Luke
Can we get Riley on a full length spot on one WAN show?
nice i got free financial advice from a tech youtuber, all other youtubers are always like "ThIs iSnT FiNaNcIaL AdViCe bLaH BlAh bLaH" but for the first time i got financial advice. I stopped the stream at 18:27 so anything said after that i didnt hear as i closed youtube to open my banking and investment apps.
Damn this wan felt more personal lmao
You know that 'WAN Show' transliterates in Dutch to 'WANvertoning', which translates back into English to 'disgrace' 🤣
The problem is that microsoft is spending resources to force you to use copilot instead of actually improving it. For example they integrated copilot in GitHub so that it can write commit message for you and it soo bad.
The average time people hold stocks in their personal portfolio is less than a year, so clearly that's not what most people are doing
This AI negativity is beyond ridiculous. If you're seriously suggesting that AI can replace creatives, then you are inherently saying that human creativity cannot compete with AI or put another way, AI is capable of greater feats of creativity. Either is a ridiculous argument, but it's made all the more ridiculous by the people who are most against AI putting it forward. The long and short is that all that matter is the final product. In the case of a game, it's either going to be a well crafted highly creative piece of work or it's going to be AI slop. The actual amount of AI used to create either result is honestly inconsequential. You buy and support the former and not the latter. Beyond that, who the fuck cares?

M4 edit is the fan edit of the hobbit and it is so much better.
Linus let me tell about the wonderous thing called changing the calendar sound to a longer ringtone. So its actually a thing since 10+ years back.
Ai agents are far worse than people think they are. I have inside knowledge of a company using an Ai agent. The agent goes off the rails and says things that you absolutely should not say to a customer. An example is when it told a customer to shop a competing brand's retail location.
The response from the agent's company was to say it didn't happen even with a screen cap. Then the internal management's attitude was lets roll this out faster and fix it as we go. The hype is real and the crash will be real.
I told my phone you can use Google assistant shortcut, not Gemini, obviously I never activated the assistant.
The problem is what Riley is saying, AI is frowned upon when it removes the human element from places where people feel like it should exist. The reason people don't want Larian to do what they're doing is because if you can explain to an image generator what you want your "pre" concept art to be, you can explain it to an artist. The result that comes out of a real person is going to be better and less derivative than whatever the slop machine generates.
China would earn a lot of gratitude if they succeed in their "manhattan project." Depending on how they play it.
