whoa that’s amazing. Jellyfin does everything.

Seems hard to track cats pet without a lot of surveillance.

I do think that doing this personally is part of why gratitude journals and similar things work so well though.

This is my first time hearing the idea that SOX caused C-suite bloat and ballooned CEO salaries. A quick google suggests that CEO pay was already very high ~8 years before this: https://www.payscale.com/data-packages/ceo-pay

But I’m not an expert in the data and haven’t looked closely; is there context I’m missing? Kinda seems like C-suite just started getting paid in stocks, and then we decided the stocks must go up (independently of SOX?).

I mean, depends on the email. If you spend more time answering yourself than the AI would, you almost certainly emit more green house gasses, used more fresh water and electricity, and burned more calories. Depending on the email, you might have also decreased net happiness generally.

Do we care about the environment or not? Please, oppose datacenters in desserts and stop farming alfalfa where water supplies are low. But your friend using AI to answer an email that could have been a google search is not the problem.

All will be rust!

I do those too! That’s where the ideas for new architectures, datasets, and training tweaks come from! Math is fun, and it’s fascinating that math can talk sometimes.

Edit: And I see now that we’re editing messages after people reply? Rude, no? Designing a hallucinating machine certainly doesn’t rot your brain.

I think in a non market economy I would still work on language models. It’s cool that a machine can hold a conversation.

I’m going to make a mildly stronger claim. I think this game really is quite moddable by a non-coder. What you need is to implement a different ruleset with new win conditions; everything else can be done with copying existing files into the correct file structure. New win conditions are specified by a pretty boring JSON file, docs here:

https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/blob/master/docs/Modders/Mod-file-structure/5-Miscellaneous-JSON-files.md#victorytypesjson

See here for an MVP for a mod of this type (probably replaces/strips away too much, but you should be able to find the vanilla files in the github linked in the OP):

https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv-minimal-base-ruleset/tree/master

Which is all to say, this is much easier than doing address lookup imo.

By testing it out in the app?

I’ve also tried getting AI to program really simple things, like using js to find particular elements in a webpage (which I don’t control and involves far too many lines). It did fine.

It’s not ready for commercial use, but it makes hacking around unfamiliar code more accessible.

Kozy asked for a different rule set; essentially changing a few numbers related to non-combat victory (shorter research times, lower policy points required, etc). Identifying these numbers in a complicated code base, especially for a non-programmer, could be very difficult. For the non-programmer, understanding how the code works isn’t very important. You just need to know what to change, and perhaps make sure you don’t change more.

I think this is exactly a case where getting a novice programming friend to make a mod would make sense. Equivalently, to vibe code.

That sounds like something easily modded; like a couple of integers somewhere. It would be cool to do (and seems vibe-code accessible if a model can hold the full script in context?)

You can be selective with this power; works well for a lot of folks. Have a smallish in group where you’re always upstanding, enjoy all the benefits that our tribal brain craves, and also enjoy the material benefits.

Some folks would have easier access to their drugs though. Pre war on drugs might have some benefits

Thank you!

downvoters: is it wrong?

The students read Tolkien, then invent their own settings. The judge thinks this is similar to how claude works. I, nor I suspect the judge, meant that the students were reusing world building whole cloth.

I would love to see the source on this one. It sounds fascinating.

I agree. It really doesn’t look like AI is the thing that broke. More like the education system, or something about social media.

As a civil matter, the publishing houses are more likely to get the full money if anthropic stays in business (and does well). So it might be bad, but I’m really skeptical about bankruptcy (and I’m not hearing anyone seriously floating it?)

Plantifs made that argument and the judge shoots it down pretty hard. That competition isn’t what copyright protects from. He makes an analogy with teachers teaching children to write fiction: they are using existing fantasy to create MANY more competitors on the fiction market. Could an author use copyright to challenge that use?

Would love to hear your thoughts on the ruling itself (it’s linked by reuters).
