Here is a video of the announcement in 4K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t9IMJrEe-8

For context: This was apparently dropped at the Rocket League Paris Major today. A teaser for the future of Rocket League on a Sunday was not on my bingo card for the first official UE6 reveal. Nevertheless, this may be building up to a Summer Game Fest announcement, much the same way UE5 was revealed in 2020. Time will tell.

I am rooting for Kagi here, and I applaud their transparency on such matters. It is quite enlightening for someone like me who understands technology but knows little about the inner workings of search.

It remains to be seen how or if the remedies will be enforced, and, of course, how Google will choose to comply with them. I am not optimistic, but at least there is some hope.

As an aside: The 1998 white paper by Brin and Page is remarkable to read knowing what Google has become.

What an amusing experiment! I laughed out loud many times. A novel way to explore the boundaries of something so stringent.

I second this recommendation. Unhook is a game-changer if you spend a lot of time on YouTube. It makes the site so much more pleasant to use.

Sure, but the problem is S and X sound very similar when spoken, causing more confusion. Try clarifying which one you are talking about in a loud room at a conference.

I have noticed, and I am concerned that they were the leaders of the Superalignment team.

> This kinda confirms, unfortunately and sadly, that ChatGPT answers are probably just as good as human answers.

These people are paid to follow scripts and strict protocols. At best, this may suggest that ChatGPT answers are as good as a call center representative's answers.

I have over ten years experience with Unreal, so the cost of switching engines would be very high, and must offer something irresistible in return.

Regarding your second question: Unreal effectively has no licensing fee for most developers. The engine is free, you get access to the full source code, and you pay a 5% royalty only after you have made $1 million gross revenue.

Therein lies the crux of the issue: AI is not “someone”. We need to approach this without anthropomorphizing the AI.
