Last week, we reported on Democrat congressman Bill Foster’s plans to introduce a bill that requires manufacturers of AI processors, like those in Nvidia GPUs, to implement tech that allows the US government to track where they end up. Well, it looks like the Senate didn’t want to be outdone, because less than 24 hours…
If Dark Souls is any indication, people take a lot of pride in mastering hard games. There’s nothing wrong with that until the moment they make it about ego: getting smart and finding creative solutions through hard games can be so much more interesting than getting good.
