Most of my exposure to him is through F1 the game as I don’t usually see him on race broadcasts. What is it that everyone dislikes about him so much?
He's annoying and a bit of a poser. Back when NBC had the broadcast rights, he was part of their crew. He's just a little... smarmy, I guess, would be an apt descriptor.

That sounds terrible.
It doesn't allow for the veto when the goofy kid wants a turn. "Fuck off Funkhouser, we have something going on here, come back later." Granted, that was more of a thing at Stop N Go and not arcades.
Stop N Go at Steck and Mesa. Lots and lots of Street Fighter. And Funkhouser definitely never got a turn, the neo maxi zoom dweebie.

It's never going to rain again at @utee94's house.
I, on the other hand, have started to build an ark.

Roses: Raining cats and dogs in NE Austin
Thorns: My in-laws are visiting for the holiday weekend and all our outdoor plans are washing down Walnut Creek
Thorns: We ain't getting shit out here in NW Travis County. Just like last week, everything just seems to die within about two miles of my house.
Roses: We have outdoor backyard poolside plans with friends and family tomorrow, and I know that there is about zero chance it'll get rained out.
Come on, I DARE you Mother Nature. Rain out my plans. Do it. DO IT!

Well since we're all reminiscing...
Man we used to ride our bikes to the Hobby Shop at the Village, dream of buying model airplanes (or, since I'm a total nerd, Dungeons & Dragons stuff). We'd play Star Wars or Tron at the Handy Andy, and then when we got bored we'd ride across Anderson to Northcross Mall and hit the Gold Mine. Sneak into Spencer Gifts and giggle at the dirty posters and stuff. Then back to the Village for ice cream at Swensen's (if we were feeling flush) and on back home through the creeks with all the crawdads. Real vintage movie stuff. My 15yo son dreams of living the life I did in the 70s and 80s. I told him I'm the exact same age as the kids in Stranger Things and it blew his mind.

Same problem I have with DtS but I'm sure I'll manage.

Was named the Gold Mine before that. Lock ins at north cross mall were phenomenal peak middle school fun.
Tilt was on the opposite side from where Gold Mine was.
But yeah, broom ball, Gold Mine, and junior high kids. Recipe for... something, anyway.

Ha!
This is the first, and I'm pretty sure last, time I've ever heard of Joust referred to as an "adults' game."
But of course my first love was tabletop Space Invaders at Scampi's Organ Grinder.

Yeah it'll need to have an even better beer and Scotch selection than Pinballz does, to get me there.
But I'm sure I'll hit it once just to erase all of you losers' scores from Galaga.

They had a stuffed pork tenderloin entree that I ate the shit out of when I was a kid 30+ years ago. The original on W 6th was in our regular rotation for Sunday evening dinner.
Yup that was my usual go-to. Jack Allen's Kitchen has basically the same dish.

It was the typical gentrification story. Gays move in to a rundown neighborhood in a good location inmass and fix everything up. Now only top 20% incomes can afford the area.
You can sip wine while strolling between art galleries on High St these days.I was promised townies flinging Pabst bottles at my head, and townies I shall have, sir!

It's fucking crazy how true this is. There's ZERO critical thinking in that class of person, all they see is dollar signs from cutting workers and they don't give a shit about the plummeting quality of product - whether that's customer service interactions, or more brittle and less secure code, or just generally trashing your market reputation.
Crazy thing is though - they're gonna be looooong gone before those chickens come home to roost. That's the MBA way, baby! Harvest short term benefits to get their bonuses and then skip town to a new firm before the long-term consequences are made apparent.
I think this is true for really basic, reading comprehension stuff. GenAI is gonna absolutely destroy the data entry industry as it currently stands - but that doesn't mean there's nothing else those folks could do. In an information economy, machine learning is the steam or ICE engine. It's what lets us sift through the vast amounts of data.
But just because we came up with steam engines doesn't mean that we didn't need rail workers anymore driving stakes. John Henry could have done other jobs workin' on the railroad
Oh absolutely, totally agree. And a more recent chain of linked examples are the typewriter, then the word processor, then networked computer systems, and eventually the internet. All of these disruptors completely eliminated large segments of prior work, but they also created completely new areas of work. Multifactor productivity growth is the lasting legacy of technological innovation and I see no reason for that to change.

Garbage in/garbage out is not new, but the pressures from above to become AI fueled organizations is such that your scenario is a danger of being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Do something disruptive and differentiating with AI -- or else. Ok, here’s your agenetic product and I’ll present it to you with the same level of confidence with which AI presented it to me. Because being able to tell who you answer to that you are doing something amazeballs with AI is all anyone gives a shit about anymore.
I mean, that RFK video is the average executive/board person right now. The zeal superseded only by a lack of understanding, the pressure to adopt/get to market and void of consideration of consequence is very prevalent.
What will be interesting is the first AI black swan catastrophe. I’m talking about something on the order of Chernobyl because someone rushed to rely on AI for something risky. I guess some sobriety might be introduced then.
Yeah. I think for most companies it's just going to manifest as progressively worse results, as capable knowledge workers are replaced by overly generalist AI agents. But at some point the AI capabilities will catch up and eventually supersede human capabilities for many tasks. That point might be 20 years down the road, or it might be 10. But it's almost certainly not 5, and the current rush to production is pushing for even sooner than that in many companies.

I'm absolutely nobody's thread police, but for those who want to reminisce about long lost Austin joints (and recent ones) there's a pretty lengthy thread for it below. Z Tejas is the most recent entry there, of course.
