Thank you for your thorough explanation, kind human.

I like it. Reminds me of Red Dwarf

Absolutely, ruthless opportunism definitely works. Especially for people with money. Paid-for expertise definitely produces a lot better apps than if the same people tried to do the design themselves.

I remember when people came to me after they saw ‘the social network’ to pitch me their ideas. I’d be doing all the work but I’d get like 30% or something, because the had the idea, which in their minds was the only thing that counted. The ideas were usually ‘facebook, but with <insert one useless feature>’.

These kind of people can now finally make their own apps, and the result is exactly as shit as you’d expect. Even worse due to garbage AI code.

I always have to laugh when someone argues that CEOs should make million and billions because “they have all the risk”. What risk? As CEO, you can virtually ram a billion dollar company into the ground, and the worst that will happen to you is a multimillion dollar severance package.

Similar for me. What i find ironic is that AI already ran into a brick wall. It’s inherent statelessness by design means that AI is unlikely to be suited for anything more than isolated well defined tasks in the near future. Still usable as a tool, but without someone who is actually experienced, it will result in disaster.

and even in smaller tasks it can fucks up, especially if the person prompting it is incapable of writing the code themselves as they don’t know how to properly design it and don’t spot the issues. Like everything with AI, it looks impressive at first glance until you look at it for more than 10 seconds and spot the metaphorical 6th finger.

What we see currently with AI getting “better” at coding is more or less duct tape to make it work. Basically, they create the agents to bolt on the state, more layers between user and model. Iterative processes to make the answers better, etc, and to create “memory”, which in essence is just an ever growing prompt managed by the agent. But in the end, this won’t fix the inherent problem, so it will only do so much and is already hitting another ceiling. It introduces state decay. With the agent method its not really possible to “take away” memory, so if you gave it multiple versions of the same code (as you would if you work with AI), the AI never really forgets about old code. It can supress it through agent instructions (more duct tape), but the more there is the more it bleeds through, which can make the AI reintroduce old code or base assumptions on outdated things.

There is no fix without changing the inherent way how models work, which would introduce complexity beyond what is currently feasible in computing (and the current AI is already gobbling up all computing reaoureces as is)

Barkley inspired me to become terrified of transporters.

I remember the fireflies in late summer outside the cities. They are nowhere to be found anymore, unfortunately.

No. We’re not supposed to believe that. Making group decisions isn’t the same as codifying the mechanisms into a well defined form of state.

Looks like a cool piece of hardware, but I don’t think I could justify spending $100 on a controller right now, unfortunately.

It’s not part of the actual code, technically. Select just switches to 2 player mode on the contra title screen, and start starts the game. If you played single player, ypu wouldn’t press select at all.

And in gradius i think you enter it on the pause screen iirc, so start would resume the game there.

Yeah, you can already see the goals more or less fully spelled out by fascist companies like Palantir. In the name of “national security” and “protecting children”, they will work towarda a surveillance state to control people.

If you thought that always-online videogames are bullshit, wait until they roll out the always-online id. “Since you are a law abiding citizen, you have nothing to hide, right? But if you take your ID offline, and you’ll be suspicious. Police might pick you up for questioning… it’s all to keep us safe.”

I think the immediate danger is less death robots, but instead manipulation. AI opens a lot of ways to easily put out propaganda and other ways to control people.

As Magyar says: "I believe that if the country is a member of the International Criminal Court, and a person who is wanted by the court enters our territory, then that person must be taken into custody,”

I wish this wasn’t even up for debate. He is wanted by the ICC, so for any country that is part of it, it shouldn’t matter who he is. Just arrest him.

Took me until I read your comment.

Man, i remember when I first manged to properly install enlightenment on SUSE. I knew almost nothing about linux. It was just pure trial and error from dependencies to proper drivers. I felt so proud when I finally got it working.
