From the article it seems like they don't generate a new labyrinth for every single time: Rather than creating this content on-demand (which could impact performance), we implemented a pre-generation pipeline that sanitizes the content to prevent any XSS vulnerabilities, and stores it in R2 for faster retrieval."

It certainly sounds like they generate the fake content once and serve it from cache every time: "Rather than creating this content on-demand (which could impact performance), we implemented a pre-generation pipeline that sanitizes the content to prevent any XSS vulnerabilities, and stores it in R2 for faster retrieval."

It's almost like there were nuances to almost everything instead of the world being neatly divisible into good and bad.

Takes more effort and results in a static snapshot without being able to track the evolution of the project. (disclaimer: I don't work with ai, but I'd bet this is the reason and also I don't intend to defend those scraping twatwaffles in any way, but to offer a possible explanation)

It's actually reassuring to see that despite all warnings and doomsayers there will still be opportunities for programmers capable of solving problems using natural intelligence.

There is an Android and a companion Pebble app ("Nav me") that reads the Google maps notifications ("In 300 meters turn left onto Jefferson Street") and displays them on the watch. The remaining distance until the next navigation instruction decreases real time. Nothing fancy like minimap view, but can be useful in some situations.

Well, depending on where and when in the story I land in Eorzea, it can be a nice and boring existence, one where I get to see all the famous heroes of the age from all across the realm, or a painfully short one.
