You'll also notice that pretty much every job (that you can make out, if you even can) is gender stereotyped. The manual workers are men, the important looking business people and decision-makers are men. The people shopping at the market are women.

It is now a manual system, with some automation. The more manual interventions required, the less automated it gets.

You'd think this would be obvious by now... but...

Decision makers have to make a choice. Do they staff the manual system now that there is an intervention process?

Yes. Check the user's manual for instruction. Different models and makers have different ways to change the swing side of the door. Some make them tool-less. Some require tools. The same goes to washer's and even fridge's doors.

This appears in Journal of Marketing and so some of the writing is 🙃 dystopian, suggesting that effective strategy is to intentionally promote misconceptions and keep the low-AI-literacy audience ignorant. I prefer to read that as a warning rather than an instruction manual.

Our results suggest that as people become more AI literate over time, general AI receptivity may decrease. Thus, our find- ings suggest that until capability considerations outweigh AI receptivity fueled by perceptions of AI as magical, there may be unintended consequences of policy makers’ efforts to educate the public about AI. Of course, other factors—such as shifting norms and expectations about AI adoption or improve- ments in AI capabilities—may affect and change the nature of the relationship between literacy and receptivity over time. Future research could examine the lower literacy–higher recep- tivity link longitudinally. Further, the results of Study 7 suggest that there are opportu- nities to target not only those with lower AI literacy but also those with higher AI literacy, as long as these two groups of consumers are targeted differently. Specifically, our findings suggest that marketing efforts aiming to make AI more accessi- ble to a broader audience by demystifying how AI works may inadvertently reduce consumers’ receptivity toward AI by making it seem less magical. Thus, marketing efforts targeting low-AI-literacy consumers may benefit from promoting an aura of magic around AI by emphasizing how the AI powering the respective product or service emulates human characteris- tics. Conversely, marketing efforts targeting high-AI-literacy consumers may benefit from highlighting how their AI-based products and services execute tasks that are based on character- istics shared between humans and AI.

Electronic Arts' original mission statement. In case you were wondering how far the company has fallen. :)
ELECTRONIC ARTSTM EA Mission Statement from an instruction manual: "We are an association of Electronic Artists who share of personal computing." common goal. We want to fulfil the potential The main feature of this post. What was once written by those working at Electronic Arts, before they became nothing more than EA: Can a Computer Make You Cry? "Right now, no one knows. This is partly because many would consider the very idea frivolous. But it's also because whoever successfully answers this question must first have answered several others. Why do we cry? Why do we laugh, or love, or smile? What are the touchstones of our emotions? Until now, the people who asked such questions tended not to be the same people who ran software companies. Instead, they were writers, filmmakers, painters, musicians. They were, in the traditional sense, artists. We're about to change that tradition. The name of our company is Electronic Arts. Software worthy of the minds that use it. We are a new association of electronic artists united by a common goal-to fulfill the enormous potential of the personal computer. In the short term, this means transcending its present use as a facilitator of unimaginative tasks and a medium for blasting aliens. In the long term, however, we can expect a great deal more. These are wondrous machines we have created, and in them can be seen a bit of their makers. It is as if These are wondrous machines we have created, and in them can be seen a bit of their makers. It is as if we had invested them with the image of our minds. And through them, we are learning more and more about ourselves. We learn, for instance, that we are more entertained by the involvement of our imaginations than by passive viewing and listening. We learn that we are better taught by experiences than by memorization. And we learn that the traditional distinctions-the ones that are made between art and entertainment and education-don't always apply. Towards a language of dreams. In short, we are finding that the computer can be more than just a processor of data. It is a communications medium: an interactive tool that can bring people's thoughts and feelings closer together, perhaps closer than ever before. And while fifty years from now, its creation may seem no more important than the advent of motion pictures or television, there is a chance it will mean something more. Something along the lines of a universal language of ideas and emotions. Something like a smile. The first publications of Electronic Arts are now available. We suspect you'll be hearing a lot about them. Some of them are games like you've never seen before, that get more out of your computer than other games ever have. Others are harder to categorize-and we like that. Watch us. We're providing a special environment for talented, independent software artists. It's a supportive environment, in which big ideas are given room to grow. And some of America's most respected software artists are beginning to take notice. We think our current work reflects this very special commitment. And though we are few in number today and apart from the mainstream of the mass software marketplace, we are confident that both time and vision are on our side. Join us. We see farther."

Artists, designers, film-makers and ANYONE UNDER AN NDA!

Adobe has decided it owns your content, can spy on what you make, (for AI sampling) and can also resell your work.

There is no option to opt out anymore.

It's time to jump ship for other less intrusive software.
Adobe joins Microsoft in admitting it's now basically spyware
Updated terms give Adobe the right to “access your content through both automated and manual methods”.

As for the remake/master they tweeked the story to now take place in a much more cyberpunk inspired environment while maintaining the same level design.
The redesigned sprite work and solid animations make this a worthwhile play for retro fans in general.
The inside of the Shadow of the Ninja Reborn game case that shows the game disk on the right and the included instruction manual on the left. Behind the disk you can see that the case has a reversible cover. The back of the Shadow of the Ninja Reborn case. Written at the top it says, "Reimagined • Remastered • Reborn" and with some images of the game beneath. Below that it says, "From the makers of 'Ninja Saviors' and 'Pocky & Rocky Reshrined'. Wield your katana, ready your shuriken, and become a master of the shadows!"
