Game engine limitations, apparently. Say a thread on exactly this earlier today.

Agree it is much poorer for lacking them. It's immersion breaking being in the far future, zipping around on an interstellar craft, yet being forced to explore slowly on foot. I really can't even use the ship? Cmon.

A good solution 20 years ago but bluetooth and music files saved on your phone is a much nicer solution now.

Unfortunately it's zoning that caused most of this issue. Not size. Dense residential was disallowed for not entirely un-racist reasons, so it spread out enormously instead. On top of car companies lobbying in various ways to make cars essential.

And the crumple zone is your legs, twice the use for the same space!

Jokes aside this whole thread could be summarised as 'safety' for the most part.

Because helping others out from under the influence of things that are making them stupid is good for the world in general.

It works if you ask it for small specific components, the bigger the scope of the request, the less likely it will give you anything worthwhile.

So basically you still need to know what you're doing and how to design a script/program anyway, and you're just using chatgpt to figure out the syntax.

It's a bit of time-saver at times but it's not replacing anyone in the immediate future.

Your previous comment was basically a massive industry wide conspiracy theory though, so their response of a more sensible answer to give you something a bit more concrete to go on was pretty reasonable to me.

If someone brings a new viable battery concept to market in the next few months that'll be a hell of a year for progress.

They are sort of blown out of proportion when you take into account modern safety protocols.

Chernobyl and three mile island were user error, fukushima was force majeure.

Since then they've been piloted widely. France has about 50 reactors and a laundry list of smaller errors that we've since learned from.
